scope:

The STRAC training strategies apply to the Active Component (AC), the Army National Guard (ARNG), and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR).

Purpose

The objective of all Army activity in peacetime is a trained and ready force. DA Pam 350-38 provides Commanders with the training strategies for individual, crew, and collective weapons training, and identifies the resources required to execute that training. STRAC strategies are the basis for determining training ammunition requirements and for providing units and Army Commands (ACOM) and Army Service Component Commands the information necessary to forecast training ammunition. STRAC strategies form the basis of the Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) training ammunition program used in programming and resourcing. The STRAC training strategies drive investment and resourcing decisions in areas such as range modernization, range instrumentation, and Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations (TADSS).
