Instructional Guidance: Throughout this lesson, solicit from students the challenges they experienced in the current operational environment (OE) and what they did to resolve them. Encourage students to apply at least 1 of the 8 critical variables: physical environment, political stability of the state, sociological demographics, infrastructure, military capabilities, information, time, and economics.
Safety Requirements: Risk Management (RM) is the Army’s primary decision making process for identifying and controlling hazards across all missions, functions, operations and activities. Leaders must excel at evaluating operational and tactical hazards through the synchronizing of risk management with the planning, prioritizing and analyzing phase of METT-TC (mission, enemy, and terrain, troops available, time and civilian consideration) and will complete a DD Form 2977, Risk Assessment Worksheet during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW TRADOC Regulation No food or drink is allowed near or around electrical equipment (CPU, file servers, printers, projectors, etc.) due to potential electrical shock or property damage. Exercise care in personnel movement in and through such areas. Avoid all electrical cords and associated wiring. In the event of electrical storm, you will be instructed to power down equipment. Commanders will embed risk management into all mission orders and order briefings for review by the senior leader to ensure proper controls are in place.
Hazard Identification: Electrical shock, Fire, Slippery Floors, Physical Injury/Strain, and Tripping, Tight Spaces in classroom and Influenza.
Risk Assessment Level: Low.
Hazard Controls: Primary Instructor (PI) will ensure: All electrical cords are properly stored under desks, liquid containers have lids on them and all spills are immediately cleaned and allowed to completely dry before allowing students/personnel to walk on them. All chairs are ergonomically designed, adjusted to individual preference and that all students are awake and paying attention in class. All cables/cords are properly plugged in, sheathed, and secured along tables, walls, and ceilings. No damaged or frayed cords/cables will be used. PI will brief proper hand washing techniques, the use of hand sanitizer, evacuation procedures. All trash will be removed daily.
Leader Actions: Detailed in brief covering all aspects of safety to include daily classroom inspections, spills cleaned immediately, emergency exit plans, leader checks, hygiene procedures, and weekly safety briefings
Probability of Occurrence: Unlikely
Severity Potential of Injury: Marginal
Environmental Considerations: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to ATP Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.
Evaluations: Students will take FM 01 AA Research Finance Regulations Test during the Pay Support – Military Pay module. Students must score 75% or higher to obtain a passing score.
Instructional Lead-in. (Publish and Process): During this lesson, you will learn an important task and something you will always use in the military. No matter how far you progress in the rank structure, you will always, at one time or another, research basic regulations. This is true not only with finance-related questions, but also in other military matters. This period of instruction provides you with a foundation to help you throughout your Army career.

Instructor's Note: Transition into LSA #3 lesson on determining the location in the DoDFMR R, Volume 7A of the subject of a military pay question.
Research Tips:
Finding the correct chapter.
When researching questions from customers it is helpful to use several different techniques to locate the specific area of the DODFMR that you need to look in.
First, you should look/listen for KEY WORDS or terms that are being used to pose the question.
Second use the Table of Contents to help you find the Chapter that covers the area in question. The chapters also have a table of contents that breaks the chapter down into sections. This will speed up the process of research.
Lastly, as you search through the chapter. Eliminate paragraphs and sub-paragraphs that do not pertain to your specific search.
You may also need to find the section within the chapter. The title may indicate just what you need. For example, the answer to a question about Parachute Duty Pay would be in chapter 24, section 3 or 2403.
The specific paragraph may also be needed to answer the question. Scan the paragraph titles within the section. For example, the answer to a question about the effect a missing status has upon a soldier’s entitlement to Parachute Duty Pay would be in chapter 24, section 2, and paragraph 9 or
A subparagraph may also be needed. Once you have located the appropriate paragraph, look at the subparagraphs.

Media: PowerPoint Presentation, Printed Reference Material, Handout
Instructor's Note: Transition into LSA #3 lesson on determining the location in the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR) for military pay question.
Tips for Research:
When researching questions from customers it is helpful to use several different techniques to locate the specific area of the JTR that you need to look in.
First, you should look/listen for KEY WORDS or terms that are being used to pose the question. If the question is related to Travel pay it will be covered in the JTR. Housing Allowances are also covered in the JTR.
Second use the Table of Contents to help you find the Chapter that covers the area in question. This will speed up the process of research.
Lastly, as you search through the chapter. Eliminate parts that do not pertain to your specific search.
You may also need to find the section within the part of the chapter. The title may indicate just what you need. For example, the answer to a question about When is DLA payable would be in chapter 5, Part A, Section 16.
The specific paragraph may also be needed to answer the question. Scan the paragraph titles within the section. For example, the answer to a question about Pet Transportation and Quarantine during an Evacuation OCONUS would be covered in Allowances for Service Members’ Dependents under Chapter 6, Paragraph 0204.
A subparagraph may also be needed. Once you have located the appropriate paragraph, look at the subparagraphs. A question about allowances for Pets Transportation and Quarantine during an OCONUS Evacuation would be covered under Pet Transportation and Quarantine – Evacuation from Foreign PDS under Chapter 6, Paragraph 0204, Subparagraph B or B.

Show Slide #29: JTR Research Example# 1
Instructor's Note: Go through the steps to help the students find the correct answer in the JTR, do this as a class.
JTR Research Example# 1:
Have the students tell you the key words in the example. Write them on the white board.
Instruct the students to look in the Table of Contents to find the chapter to look in. Then have them look at the chapters Table of Contents.
Begin going through the chapter with the students and eliminate areas that do not apply to the search.
Example #1 JTR:
A Reserve Soldier is called/ordered to Active duty for deployment to a contingency operation.
Are they authorized a housing allowance; and at which rate?
Solution for #1:
JTR, Chapter 10, Part E, Section 13, Paragraph 428, Subparagraph B covers Reserve Components Contingency Operations.
The subparagraph states: “An RC member called/ordered to active duty in support of a contingency operation is authorized BAH/OHA for the duration of the tour.
If the RC member receives a PCS order authorizing HHG transportation, BAH/OHA is based on the new PDS.
However, if the member is called or ordered to active duty and a PCS order is not issued, BAH/OHA rate is based (paid) on the primary residence location at the time called/ordered to active duty”.

Method of Instruction: DSL – Discussion (Small or Large Group)
Media: PowerPoint Presentation, Printed Reference Material, Handout
Instructor's Note: Instructor transition now into LSA #5, describing a Decision Logic Table (DLT) in the DoDFMR R, Volume 7A or Joint Travel Regulation (JTR).
Decision Logic Table (DLT):
Decision Logic Tables (DLT’s) are used throughout the DoDFMR to simplify technical instructions.
They are located in the back of each chapter.
The first set of digits in the table number refers to the chapter, and the last set of numbers refers to the table number within the chapter.
For example, Table The Table is in Chapter 24 and it is the fourth table within the chapter.
DLTs contain the following parts.
The Table Heading identifies the type of instruction. 
Column headings are alphabetically designated. A heavy black line separates condition column headings (If) from action column headings (Then). 
The Condition and Action Statements Rules are numerically designated. A heavy black line separates condition and action headings from condition and action statement rules. 
Notes are listed numerically below the table. The notes below the table corresponds with the note in parenthesis for example, (note #).
To read a DLT, follow this sequence:
Read the Table Heading to identify what the table is about.
The Heading for column A leads to the condition statements describing the problem you are solving.
Condition statements are extensions of data in column headings, which are sometimes limited to X, Y or N. Y means yes. N means no.
The condition statement is blank if the condition does not apply for that rule.
Columns B, C, etc. state additional conditions, if required.
Follow the rule line for the condition describing the precise problem for the specific action statement that applies. Rules are numerically designated down the left hand column of the DLT.
Action statements are extensions of data in action column headings, or limited to an X. X means take this action.
The action statement is left blank if that action does not apply or you are not able to take that action.
Read the note that numerically corresponds with the note in parenthesis for example, (note #). Notes referred to within the table are located directly beneath the table.
Instructor's Notes:
Refer the students to decision logic table 25-1.
Have them identify the table heading, column headings, and rules.
Have them determine which rule is used to collect discounted meal rate for breakfast and dollar amount (effective Jan ).

37. Tables Table heading -Identifies instructions
Notes – listed with asterisk (*) below the table
NOT like tables in the DODFMR
Show Slide #37: Tables
 Instructor's Note: Describe the tables with students.
Tables:
Tables in the JTR are used to simplify technical instructions and list rates.
They are located throughout each chapter.
The first set of digits in the table number refers to the chapter followed by the part, there may not always be a part.
The last set of numbers after the dash (-) refers to the table number within the chapter.
For example: Table 10E-14.
The table refers to Chapter 10, Part E and it is the fourteenth table for the chapter in that specific part.
Tables within the JTR contain some but not all of the following parts:
The Table Heading identifies the type of instruction and or title and describes the situation.
Notes are listed, if any, with an asterisk (*) below the table and numerically.
Follow the rules for each table individually; the tables in the JTR are not like the DoDFMR in that they may be in different formats with the regulation depending on the content. To read a JTR table, follow this sequence:
Read the Table Heading to identify what the table is about.
Ensure the heading is describing the problem you are solving.
Read each column title and row title to determine which information applies to your situation.
Choose the information that matches the criteria or known information.
Check the bottom of the table for a note. The notes will give you further information in reference of the table.
Instructor's Note: Refer the students to Table 2-1 and have them identify the following:
1. TABLE HEADING? (En route and TDY Point Rest Stops)
2. COLUMN HEADINGS? (Is Authorized, Is Not Authorized)
3. NOTES? (*The flight length alone is not sufficient justification to authorize or approve an en route rest stop. The TDY mission must be so unexpected that the traveler was unable to schedule a flight arriving the day prior to allow rest before work and the travel authorization must clearly state when the TDY travel was identified and when travel reservations were made.)

Decision Logic Table (DLT):
Sometimes, the answer to an entitlement type question is found in a decision logic table rather than a paragraph.
Decision Logic Tables (DLT’s) are used throughout the JTR to simplify technical instructions.
They are located through out each chapter.
The first set of digits in the table number refers to the chapter and part if it applies. The last set of numbers refers to the table number within the chapter or the part.
Read the table heading to identify what the table is about.
Determine which rule to use by reading down the left hand condition column (IF) until finding the condition that exists.
The condition column can be:
A true statement for the rule.
A false statement for the rule.
An "X" if the column heading applies to the rule.
A "Y" if the answer to the column heading is yes for the rule.
An "N" if the answer to the column heading is no for the rule.
Blank if the condition cannot apply to the rule.
Determine the outcome of the rule by reading the right hand action column (THEN) for the specific action to take.
The action column can be:
An action statement that must be taken.
An "X" if the column heading action must be taken.
Blank if the action cannot apply to the rule.
Example:
Instructor's Note: Have the students locate Table 10a-2 in the JTR and identify the table heading, column headings, and rules. Also, have them determine which rule is used to stop BAH when the dependent is divorced.
