Proposed
Contingency Force
Training Program
I. TITLE: Task Force Operations Familiarization Training Program
II. OBJECTIVE:
While all members or alternates on the Contingency Force
roster have had experience and training in their assigned
positions many of them require a refresher course in their
respective basic skills and practically all of them are in
need of familiarization training in task force operations.
Accordingly, it is the objective of this training program
to provide both of the foregoing needs.
III. TIMING:
The need is now but, in order to provide adequate time for
the preparation of this program and considering the related
problems involved, the timing of this training should be
resolved according to the most practicable period for all
concerned. The PP/C/PMD will be available for consultation
with OTR on this determination.
FREQUENCY OF TRAINING:
It is desired that this program be placed on an annual basis.
V. LENGTH OF TRAINING PERIOD:
It is recognized that three (3) weeks is a short period to
cover so much material. However, it is necessary to accept
the fact that many of the individuals would have difficulty
in leaving their current assignments for a longer period.
Further, the need for economy makes it necessary to reduce
the cost of this training to the minimum consistent with
the merits of the objective.
