No rifle range scores, nothing noting you already received your Humvee driver\u2019s license?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years soldiers have had to go to a Common Access Card-enabled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/10\/08\/tradocs-new-boss-on-how-the-army-plans-to-prepare-for-war-and-grow-the-force\/\" target=\"_blank\">computer, <\/a>perhaps at the platoon level or higher, to see what was in their training record and let their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/10\/02\/the-army-is-shutting-down-its-much-lauded-asymmetric-warfare-group\/\" target=\"_blank\">supervisor <\/a>know if it was correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, soldiers can use a tablet or smartphone and see their records in real-time using the Army Training Network, a secure, web-based portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NCOs who manage those records can put the information in while training is underway at the range or in a course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/capl.army.mil\/athena\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Athena<\/a>, the Army\u2019s way to modernize training records management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might seem small, but Brig. Gen. Charles Lombardo explained that those shifts, which involve digitizing records, can transform how soldiers and their training managers approach readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t even know how much we do annually,\u201d Lombardo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essential training, such as gunnery, can be left off of a soldier\u2019s record. But that\u2019s still a critical measure of how well a soldier performs in one of the most basic tasks \u2014 firing a major weapon system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new tool comes on the heels of the re-publication and revision of Field Manual 7-0 Training, Lombardo told Army Times on Monday at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual meeting and exposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lombardo heads the Combined Arms Center-Training and his recent work goes far beyond training records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FM 7-0 is a kind of \u201chow to\u201d for leader development, Lombardo said during a presentation at AUSA. Though originally released in the early 1990s, the revisions are focused on getting the Army\u2019s training to 2028 and beyond, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019ve added a \u201cfight to train\u201d portion that helps commanders understand the level of training they can sustain to achieve readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That flows into other decision-making areas, Lombardo noted. The Army is also pushing pre-combat training center preparations down to the lower-level units. Soldiers have to figure out how to use the \u201cwhite space\u201d in their calendar once they\u2019ve gotten their CTC rotation date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before, the Army delivered a ready-made package, but that didn\u2019t always fit well with all of the demands on units at lower echelons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised manual ultimately goes back to the core of the training and development paradigm \u2014 plan, prepare, execute and assess \u2014 which are the building blocks of making relevant training that will help soldiers reach a readiness level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And they have a model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make all of this similar to how aviation does it,\u201d Lombardo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a pilot arrives to a unit, all of their training comes with them, he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sgt. Maj. Thomas Conn, senior enlisted advisor at the CAC-T, worked a project recently that unlocked jump logs for paratroopers with the XVIII Airborne Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new requirement means, \u201ca soldier\u2019s jump will be put into their individual training record and will stay with them wherever they go,\u201d Conn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes further than shooting, driving and flying. Maintenance records are included, too. As is complex engine work for mechanics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A web-based portal to rule them
