2. The Task Development Process
Step One: Identify Need
Step Two: Doctrine Review
Step Three: Task Approval
Step Four: Task Analyst Conduct Working Group
Step Five: Staff Task to SME
Step Six: Manager Review
Step Seven: Army U Review
Step Eight: Publish
30 Day Cycle

3. Step One: Need Identification
Based on Job/Mission analysis:
What training gap exists?
Where is the analysis originating from?
Did the position change?
What is the operational force seeing that needs updating?
Is the Task/Competency relevant?
Is the Task/Competency Doctrinal?

4. Step Two: Doctrine
Review Doctrine for guidance on task to be developed.
What Doctrinal capability is supported?
Is there new Doctrine to follow?
Is the task and competency set aligned with emerging doctrine? i.e. FM 3-0 / Operations and MDB (Multi-Domain Battle)
Review AARs and Lessons Learned.
What have we learned from the field?
What can we cull from CALL?
Coordinate/Liaison with Proponency
Maintain regular contact with the field

5. Step Three: Task Approval
Task is staffed through USACHCS Training Division approving officials and stakeholders then staffed through the TD for submission to the CMDT for final approval / decision brief.

6. Step four: Task Analyst Conducts working group then develops task
Based on Doctrine, AARs and Lessons Learned, the USACHCS Task Analyst conducts working group with stakeholders then develop task:
Creates Task number and name
Develops performance steps and measures.
Selects appropriate references from Doctrine (AR, FM, ADP).
Identify supporting tasks if any and media
Enter new task in TDC
Staffed to action officers, managers, developers via ADDIE Process
Task is reviewed by Army University

7. Step Five: Staff Task to sme
CDID: For Doctrinal Review.
Managers and Developers : For TDC review
Proponency: For Review
SMEs: Appropriate SMEs in the area to be trained.

8. Step six: Manager Review & approval
All Tasks are reviewed by a TDC Manager and approved by TDC Approver before sending to Army U for review.

9. Step seven: Army u review
All new and revised Tasks are reviewed by Army U and
either approved or sent back to the Task Analyst OIC
and NCOIC for further review, update, changes and
Analysis.

10. Step eight: Publish
After Tasks are approved it is then published into CAR and USACHCS Portal.

11. Timeline To approve one task from Need Identification /
Gap Analysis to Approval can be done in 30
days.

12. Critical Tasks
Any task can be designated a critical task by a Critical Task Site Selection Board. (CTSSB)
TRADOC requires every task to be considered every 4-6 years by a CTSSB
All Critical Tasks and Competencies are reviewed by the CTSSB.
A simple Majority vote by the CTSSB is required to designate a task as critical.
CMDT is approving authority for Tasks and Competencies and for the CTSSB Decision Brief
CMDT as Proponent has approving authority outside of the CTSSB process
