Agenda Background Purpose Applicability Methodology Tracking Award Incentives

Background The Army's training challenge is to optimize, synchronize, and support training in schools, training in units, and self-development to produce forces ready to respond across the full spectrum of military operations. Most Signaleers arriving to 1ID from AIT do not have the essential skill set required to perform their duty MOS. Additionally, units within 1ID have equipment and task unique to their organization, therefore, require specific skills essential to mission accomplishment.

Purpose Develop and implement structured training for baseline certification and establish the tools and guidelines to make 1ID Signal Soldiers the most versatile Signal/Cyber Professionals in the Army

Applicability CMF 24, 25, 53 E1-E8, W1-CW3, O1-04

Methodology Structured to progressively enhance the skillset of the Signaleer by completing each level prior to starting the next level Each level provides additional and challenging training to Signaleers not obtained through NCOES Taught using a combination of SkillPort, MTC, BCCC, and DVSU instructed courses

Course Track Basic Intermediate Advanced Expert Achieving Expert should be the ultimate goal for every Signaleer Achieving Basic should be the minimum goal for all Commanders

DVCP Incentives Peer Pressure: Due to the competitive nature of the US Army and Signaleers, all Signaleers will strive to perform to the best of their abilities to match or exceed their peers. Promotion Points: All DVSU courses are in ATRRS enabling Soldiers to earn promotion points, if applicable. College Credit: Most courses, if successfully completed, will earn Soldiers’ college credit. Awards: Soldiers who achieve Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels of DVCP training will be considered for the AAM or ARCOM. Gold Standard: Expert Level courses are not necessary for unit success, but beneficial to the unit to have Soldiers trained at this level and will further enhance the career development of the Signaleer.
