Chapter 1

Introduction

1-1. Purpose

This regulation establishes policy, guidance, and procedures for operation, administration, training and education support, and conduct of The Army School System (TASS), as defined in this regulation (see para 1-4). Forward exceptions to operational procedures for overseas commands (U.S. Army, Pacific (USARPAC) and U.S. Army, Europe (USAREUR)) through the United States Army Reserve Command (USARC) to U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS) G-3/5/7, Reserve Component Training Integration Directorate (RCTID).

1-2. References

Required and related publications and prescribed and referenced forms are listed in appendix A.

1-3. Explanation of abbreviations and terms

Abbreviations and terms used in this regulation are explained in the glossary.

1-4. TASS

a.TASS is a composite system made up of Army National Guard (ARNG), U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and active Army (AA) schools. TASS conducts initial military training (IMT), reclassification training, officer, warrant officer (WO), noncommissioned officer (NCO) and Department of the Army (DA) civilian professional development training, functional training, and education. Training and education are accomplished through standard resident, active duty for training (ADT), inactive duty training (IDT), and distributed/distance learning (DL) courses.

b.See Army Regulation (AR) 350-1, paragraph 1-29 for DA policy regarding TASS.

c.Reserve component (RC) TASS units are functionally aligned and linked to appropriate proponents. The Army proponents include TRADOC proponent schools and:

(1)U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS).

(2)The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS).

(3)U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDCS).

(4)U.S. Army Management Staff College (AMSC).

(5)U.S. Army Force Management School (AFMS).

(6)Department of the Army Inspector General (DAIG).

(7)Civilian Personnel Operations Center (CPOC).

8

TRADOC Reg 350-18

(8)U.S. Military Academy (USMA).

(9)U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

(10)U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) Schools.

(11)U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC).

d.The AA proponents serve as a link to the RC schools to ensure equivalency. This link ensures quality assurance (QA), instructor certification, The Army Training System (TATS) courseware availability, use of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) curriculum design method, and a DL strategy. The TATS courseware ensures that all Army Soldiers, regardless of component, receive the same critical task instruction, regardless of which TASS institutions conduct the training or education.

e.TASS training and education missions are validated during the Structure Manning Decision Review (SMDR) process, reflected in the Army Program for Individual Training (ARPRINT), and documented in Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS). Training and education missions are fully resourced through a deliberate cross component (AA, ARNG, and USAR) affiliation program.

f.Some TASS institutions and units focus on education as the primary method of instructions while others may focus on training. Many TASS units use a combination of both methods of instructions through a variety of courses. For the purposes of this regulation, the term "training" may be used throughout as a generic term to also include policy and guidance that applies equally to educationally focused units, institutions, and courses. Learning objectives should be substituted for critical tasks where applicable.

1-5. TASS organization

a.DCS G-3/5/7. Paragraph 2-2 of this regulation delineates responsibilities for the DCS G- 3/5/7. This organization is located at Headquarters (HQ), TRADOC and staffed by AA, ARNG, and USAR personnel.

b.RCTID. Paragraph 2-3 of this regulation delineates duties for RCTID. This organization is located at HQ, TRADOC and staffed by AA, ARNG, and USAR personnel.

c.Proponents. TRADOC Regulation (TR) 350-70 and AR 350-1 prescribe policy for proponents.

d.States' The Adjutant General (TAG). Command responsibility for ARNG units is vested in the state and territorial governors who execute their responsibilities through TAGs. State TAGs provide command and control of the ARNG TASS activities within their state/territory.

e.USAR Training Command (TASS) provides command and control through the divisions of USAR TASS schools.

TRADOC Reg 350-18

f.TASS training regiments (REGTs)/brigades (BDEs): functional alignment is provided (see figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1. RC TASS functional alignment

(1)ARNG regional training institutions (RTIs) are subordinate to the TAGs and are responsible for their aligned ARNG TASS battalions (BN).

(2)USAR TASS BDEs are subordinate to the 80th Training Command (TASS) Divisions

with responsibility for aligned USAR TASS BN. USAR Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES) and Officer Education System (OES) BNs are subordinate to the 84th Training Command.

g.Multifunctional training units (MFTU) are located outside the continental United States (OCONUS). These TASS training units present unique situations because of their lack of proximity to other training facilities. They offer officer and noncommissioned officer professional development courses and military occupational specialty – transition (MOS-T) to all components of the Army and must conduct most of this training and education on their own. Because of the broad mission, MFTUs are not directly affiliated with any one proponent school, but are subject to the same accreditation standards as other TASS institutions. MFTUs follow the operational procedures and requirements of this regulation.

(1)USAR MFTUs are located in Germany, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and are under the command and control of U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC).
