The DD Form 1556-1 serves as a comprehensive document designed for the request, authorization, agreement, certification of training, and reimbursement processes within the Department of Defense (DoD). This multifaceted form plays a crucial role in the facilitation of training requests for DoD personnel, encompassing everything from initial training requests to the final steps involving course completion evaluations and reimbursement details. It's meticulously structured to capture detailed trainee or applicant information, including but not limited to personal identification, federal service duration, and educational level. Furthermore, it addresses training course data, delving into course titles, objectives, and the recommended training facility, alongside a thorough breakdown of associated costs – direct, indirect, and labor. The form mandates official endorsements from supervisors, training officers, and authorizing officials to ensure the proposed training aligns with job requirements and regulatory standards. Additionally, it accommodates for the documentation of eventual course outcomes, completion status, and participant evaluations, thereby offering a holistic view of the training endeavor from inception to conclusion. Completing this form correctly is vital for DoD personnel seeking to pursue training opportunities, as it not only serves as a request but also contracts an agreement concerning the implications of such training on their service continuation and potential financial obligations.
