NYGD 1322 CHAPTER III PROCEDURES

1. General a. Training as a System. All types of military training, as defined in the attached glossary shall be considered as interdependent parts of an overall training system. Possible effects on other parts of the system shall be considered when decisions are made that primarily concern one part of the system. For example, the effects on unit training shall be a key consideration in decisions on institutional training. b. Allocation of Resources for Training. Allocation of resources for the training of military individuals and units shall be consistent with assigned missions and employment and deployment schedules and related requirements for training. c. Application of Simulation. Simulators and other training devices for weapon systems and equipment shall be utilized when they are available and capable of effectively and economically supplementing training on the actual equipment. Particular emphasis shall be placed on simulators that provide training that might be limited by safety considerations or constraints on training space, time; or other resources. When deciding on simulation issues, the primary consideration shall be improving the quality of training and consequently the state of readiness. Potential savings in operating and support costs normally shall be an important secondary consideration. d. Application of Technology to NYG training. The use of technology shall be emphasized in developing solutions to the unique training problems of the NYG components that are related to limited time and training facilities. e. Use of Contract Support. Contract services may be used to support and/or conduct instruction in military training programs when applicable, using the appropriate resources within DMNA. 2. Individual Training a. Training Requirements and Utilization. All training of military members shall be based on requirements for knowledge and skills needed for specific missions or, as applicable, on requirements for broader military skills, such as leadership. Required knowledge includes an understanding of the conduct necessary to maintain high standards of mission effectiveness and unit cohesion. (1) The number of members to be trained shall be based on the number of job positions in the approved force structure, the projected inventory of qualified members, and projected gains and losses in each skill and skill level. III-1

NYGD 1322

Draft-1

(2) To avoid unnecessary training, assignment policies for each job skill shall be aimed at fully utilizing qualified members with relevant previous training. b. Procedures for Structuring Training Programs. A systematic set of procedures shall be developed and used to design, conduct, evaluate, and revise individual training programs, by each MACOM. Unless relevant prior experience makes one or more of those procedures unnecessary, the process shall include the following steps: (1) Identify training requirements for tasks to be performed on the job (OJT) and the knowledge and skills required to perform those tasks. (2) Determine the proper allocation of training tasks between institutional training and OJT in operational units. (3) Choose the most cost-effective methods of instruction and identify training equipment and other media requirements. (4) Investigate methods of tailoring training to the more restricted time available to members of the NYG components and develop curricula to meet their needs. (5) Develop programs of instruction, including exportable instructional packages to support OJT in units. (6) Develop methods based on performance objectives for evaluating student progress and success. (7) Develop procedures, including feedback from operational units, for evaluating training programs to provide a basis for revisions and to verify that the programs meet training requirements at an acceptable cost. c. Other Related Considerations (1) Institutional training courses shall be no longer than required to fulfill course objectives as identified through a systematic needs analysis. Teaching methods such as individualized instruction, which satisfy course objectives and compress time in training status, shall be considered for use when determined to be effective and economical and when student capabilities make these teaching methods feasible (2) The satisfactory performance of identified learning tasks, when feasible, shall be the criterion for graduating from school courses. (3) The ability of units to conduct effective OJT shall be considered when dividing responsibility for teaching tasks between schools and units during the development of training programs III-2

NYGD 1322

(4) Computer-based instruction shall be considered as a tool for delivery or management of instruction when front-end analysis determines that its use is effective and efficient. d. Training of New NYG Personnel. All new officer and enlisted personnel shall be given fundamental instruction for transitioning to the military environment, instilling discipline, and teaching military skills required of all or most members of the NYG concerned. This training shall include briefings upon entry and periodically thereafter required under the Code of Military Conduct as contained in the Military Law of the State of New York. In addition, new personnel shall receive training in occupational specialties through institutional training courses or OJT. Such institutional training normally shall be limited to the skills required in the initial period of service, i.e., the first enlistment period for enlisted personnel and the initial term of obligated service for officers. e. Training of Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs). Each MACOM shall maintain military training programs, including institutional courses and OJT, which, with job experience, provide for the continued development of NCOs as leaders and skilled technicians. f. Training of Officers. A structure of training programs for officers shall be maintained to provide a foundation for progressively more demanding leadership, managerial, and technical responsibilities and subsequent professional military education. g. Inter-MACOM Training Cooperation. The MACOMs shall work together to determine effective and affordable solutions to common training problems. Consolidation or collocation of training shall be considered when applicable. h. NYG Schools. When skills with a high degree of commonality are required in more than one MACOM, consideration shall be given to establishing a single NYG school, if cost effective, to provide the required training. i. Capability for Mobilization Expansion. Each MACOM shall review periodically its requirement for trained military manpower under mobilization conditions and its capacity in facilities, equipment, and training staff for meeting this requirement. Verified deficiencies shall be considered for correction. 3. Collective Training a. Requirements for Collective Training. Collective training shall serve to achieve standards of unit proficiency required to accomplish missions. b. Realism. Subject to such constraints as safety requirements and limits on space for training, all collective training shall be conducted under conditions and rates of activity closely approximating those that the units being trained may encounter in accomplishing their assigned missions. III-3

NYGD 1322

Draft-1

(1) When constraints limit the use of realistic training conditions, then simulation and other products of training technology shall be used as applicable to enhance realism. (2) All collective training exercises shall emphasize realistic performance of the functions of individual personnel in the exercising units. (3) Support units shall be integrated into exercises for realistic training in their state active duty / mission supporting roles. c. Joint and Combined Exercises (1) Units from two or more MACOMs that might operate together in an active duty mission shall conduct joint exercises periodically to maintain a high standard of coordination and joint control. (2) Combined exercises with DMNA forces, and state agencies shall be conducted for establishing and maintaining a capability to cooperate effectively in accomplishing assigned missions. d. Shared Use of Training Facilities. To ensure effective and efficient utilizing of training facilities,. each of the MACOM, as applicable, shall coordinate with the other MACOMs the shared use of training ranges, devices, and other training resources under its control. e. Operational Activities and Training. To the extent feasible, participation in operational missions shall be used to meet the collective training requirements of the units involved. g. Evaluation. All collective training and exercises shall be evaluated against established standards of mission proficiency for identifying and correcting deficiencies. (Provide After Action Reports.) 4. Training Events. Any major training event, planned by a MACOM, shall be subject to the suspense dates as shown in the event time line as listed in Appendix A.
