Mission Scope and Scale Vision UNCLASSIFIED Mission Training and Doctrine Command develops, educates and trains Soldiers, civilians, and leaders; supports unit training; and designs, builds and integrates a versatile mix of capabilities, formations, and equipment to strengthen the U.S. Army as America’s Force of Decisive Action. Scope and Scale TRADOC has 25,000 Soldiers and 11,000 civilians across 32 schools training over 500,000 Soldiers a year. Vision Leading the Army’s transition into the future by shaping the Army of 2020, developing adaptive leaders and organizations, modernizing equipment, and revolutionizing training to strengthen the Nation’s adaptive land force for decisive action. 3 “Victory Starts Here!!!”

Training the Army of 2020 "If we do not make home station training exciting and relevant, we will pay a price in young leaders exiting the Army because they will not get it or understand the relevance of it." GEN Robert W. Cone TRADOC Commanding General 4 UNCLASSIFIED

Revolution in Army Learning Relevant and Challenging Context Learning at the Point of Need Developed & Delivered by the Army’s Best OE / Regional Alignment… - Information When and Where Needed - Single Portal to Digital Learning Resources - Performance Support Aids Adaptability… Critical Thinking … Complex Environments Assessments, Evaluations Career Long Learning When describing the model, we speak of it in terms of how it is revolutionizing learning in the Army. Four aspects describing the revolution are: Learning at the point of need - whether the Soldier is deployed, at home station or at home – CASCOM Mobile Applications in the Army Marketplace. Extension of the school house - DLI uses Broadband Language Training System (BLTS). Career Long Learning – learning continuums supporting the different cohorts will have distributed learning courses between resident experiences. and relevant and challenging context – Training Brain Operations Center provides the operational environment for the institution and the operating force by rapidly infusing it into the institution and the operating force. We describe the model as being enabled by technology, because the true measure of effectiveness will center the educational experience and outcome of the student. We believe the model will reduce reduce to some degree, the amount of time a Soldier will have to spend at resident instruction in the future. The model will improve the institutional training and education of the reserve component, because the model supports the distributed nature of the reserve components in hometown America. We have included FORSCOM in the dialogue, and the operating force sees many opportunities to leverage the resources in the institution to enable and enhance its training.

Discussion • The key desired outcome is to update doctrine more efficiently and promulgate it to the force more effectively. The increased access tied to current and emerging technology also contributes to reinforcing the continuous adaptive learning model TRADOC has embraced to facilitate career-long learning for our Soldiers, leaders and Civilians. • With the decrease in doctrine developers and the backlog in doctrine development, the Army's doctrine was becoming irrelevant. The Army was becoming a TTP based vice Doctrine based organization. • Online publication of doctrine increases access, review and feedback by the operational force . Observations/Linkages • The Profession and the ALDS are directly linked to both Doctrine 2015 initiatives. • ATIS support important for access and delivery of doctrine. • Increased doctrine collaboration with FORSCOM/AMC/SOCOM improves feedback, review, and development. Recommendation TRADOC continue the investment in Doctrine 2015 and develop a dynamic feedback mechanism to evaluate the quality of our doctrine through exercises and the Combat Training Centers. Objective: Produce a more informed and educated force capable of practicing Army doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Risk: Failure to support Doctrine 2015 will significantly impact our ability to remain a doctrine based Army.

Distributed Learning IPT Discoverability: Improving the user experience by ensuring content can be located with movement through the courseware as intuitive as possible. Accessibility: Improving course registration and launching of content. Playability: Improving content design and development so courseware plays without interruptions, so the student can execute training and testing. Trackability: Ensuring soldiers get credit for course/content completions. Rethinking courseware preproduction, delivery (Coalition, deployed), lifecycle mgt Discoverability, For mobile delivery this requires a repository of executable apps similar to the Apple Itunes Store. Accessibility, The ease of accessing mobile content is crucial to the user experience. This means the mobile content should be easy to find and easy to download. Playability, The number of mobile devices is broad and rapidly changing. Playability of apps will require commitment for a store that updates operating system requirements on a regular basis so users can expect results. Flexibility, The number of mobile devices supported is essential for broad acceptance and use. Trackability, The ability to record scores or learning progress from a mobile device. This requirement to track from a learning management system has not been defined for the Army. UNCLASSIFIED

Support to Mission Command Support to 1/101 ABCT Key Leader Engagements 1/101st Airborne BCT received deployment orders for RC-East, Afghanistan. TBOC acquired and manipulated 15,000 real-world reports containing geospatial, activity, and human network data. For the 1/101st two-week exercise, conducted at Ft. Carson, CO, the RC-East data was geographically and temporally adjusted to match the training location and cycle. These reports were delivered over the exercise networks, feeding their Mission Command systems – just like they would experience in theater.
