Issue SCoE BC Training Strategy
(07-01-BC-SCoE) Discussion The current SCoE BC
training strategy addresses pooling of assets to
support multiple-like BC requirements across the
installation in support of institutional and
operational tenant unit requirements
(Lee/Eustis). There is a disconnect between the
VCSA guidance (ACP Update on 17 Apr 08) and the
emerging BCTS as to the responsibilities of CoEs
in training Operational Forces. Currently
DAMO-TRS has only validated Installation
(Lee/Eustis) requirement SCoE support of POIs
(Lee/Eustis/Jackson (future)) DAMO-TR has not
resourced requirement to provide pre-deployment
training support to TSC, ESC etc.

• STATUS Re-done draft BCTS is out for AO level

  will have some limited Operational Training
  responsibility as directed by TRADOC.

• Assistance necessary No

  POIs.
• BCTC is for tenant Operational units on Ft
  Lee and Ft Eustis. It is not a SCoE BSC
  facility. New FY 15 Operational BCTC MCA project
  competing in FY10-15 POM. Based on DP 91, BCTC
  Design Board consult with garrison and units to
  determine operational facility requirement.

• STATUS BCTC requirement for Fort Lee was not
  validated on the FY10-15 POM. Will re-compete in
  FY12-17 POM. CAC-T, CTD and NSC reviewed the BCTC
  facility requirements for training ESC/BSC type
  units. Recommendation of increased building size
  resulted and was briefed to Mr. Moore.

  requirements, if approved. JHSV TADSS funding
  requested in the FY10-15 POM, 9.9M, is short by
  approximately 1.7M. This shortfall and any
  other shortfalls resulting from receiving less
  than the amount of funding requested in the
  FY10-15 POM will be requested in the FY12-17 POM.

Issue Determine role/interaction between
CASCOM and SSI regarding the development of
System Training Plans (STRAP). Discussion
SSI has limited experience with STRAP development
due to the small number of systems under their
control. SSI has received limited assistance
from CASCOM with the development of training
plans for DIMHRS and GFEBS. This has lead to
inconsistencies in the documents, i.e. format. In
both cases the PM for both programs has acted as
the training developer. This is most likely a
result of an unclear relationship between the
organization's.
