Special Information:

ENVIRONMENTAL. AR 200-1 delineates TRADOC responsibilities to integrate environmental requirements across DOTMLPF and ensure all training procedures, training materials, and training doctrine include sound environmental practices and considerations. The Army's environmental vision is to be a national leader in environmental and natural resource stewardship for present and future generations as an integral part of all Army missions. This instruction meets this standard.

SAFETY. Accidents are an unacceptable impediment to Army missions, readiness, morale, and resources. Decision makers at every level will employ risk management approaches to effectively preclude unacceptable risk to the safety of personnel and property affiliated with this course.

MEDICAL SUPPORT TO TRAINING. Installation commanders and school commandants will assess and certify the adequacy of medical support to training at least annually. This responsibility is not delegable. Installation commanders and school commandants conducting high-risk training shall rehearse their medical support (casualty response, evacuation, and treatment) plan at least annually, focused on responding to a training catastrophe. This instruction complies with the intent of the Army's Medical Support to Training policy.

OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. The learning objectives in Army training must comply with current Joint, Army, and Branch doctrine regarding the Operational Environment (OE) and Opposing Force (OPFOR) scenarios. This Program of Instruction (POI) addresses this principle and incorporates current doctrine and lessons learned at the appropriate level, divesting of obsolescence, and implementing full spectrum operations in the COE in classrooms and training exercises.
