Contingency Force Program
DATE: 28 September 1959.
1. The times as outlined in the proposed list of subjects represents a
minimum possible to bring a group to any degree of proficiency. It is a
certainty that some basics must be covered in some cases as a review and
for others as an initial introduction to the subjects. While all of the
personnel have had training or experience in PM Operations, it is very doubt-
ful that a group of this size can be found with training experience in all
phases of PM Operations.
2. The maximum number which the CFA Branch can handle regarding field
exercises and practical work is fifteen students. The training area available
for certain of the field problems is quite limited and much of this work must
be conducted by small teams, therefore using a good portion of the entire
base.
3. Any scheduling of this course must be contingent to prior commitments
or arranged on a priority basis as not only the training area is limited, but
also the training staff. It would also be desirable to have two weeks before
starting one of these courses free for preparations, but in no case less than
25X1 A one week. Al]. of the scheduled instruction, with the exception of -
and the Operations Course, are only tentative commitments and the dates are
not firm.
