Purpose.

This instruction establishes the minimum training requirements to ensure operations personnel are adequately trained during Initial Qualification Training (IQT), Mission Qualification Training (MQT) and Continuation Training (CT). The Chief of Training (COT) ensures the course of training is followed. The COT is responsible to keep the Director of Operations (DO) informed when resources are not available. Assigned personnel have varying backgrounds and different levels of experience and proficiency. The unit COT ensures individual training records/accomplishments are reviewed prior to entry into training and establishes an appropriate course of training based on the individual's background and experience. In this manner, the COT ensures the unit-training program is tailored to fit each trainee's needs. IQT, MQT, and CT academic and positional training requirements for all duty positions are contained in the respective chapter applicable to each unit. The lack of a dedicated Formal Training Unit (FTU) for the BCCs, or a separate training suite of equipment at the unit, necessitates that IQT be conducted on the operational mission system. As such, the training activities are integrated into the operations floor. To make the most effective use of positional training, IQT and MQT are fully integrated (T-2).
