6. Infantry SchoolÉcole dinfanterie FUTURE TRENDS DAPS, Attrition & the Demand for Snr NCOs. The Infantry School expects a substantial increase in the demand for DP3A training in the near future. A particular concern for the army is the growing shortage of leadership, specifically in the ranks of tactical level leaders….[today's] changing international security environment with its emphasis on asymmetrical warfare and counter-insurgency, [shows that] current leadership challenges are neither temporary nor limited.

7. Infantry SchoolÉcole dinfanterie Assumptions and Methodology LFSAT was utilised A review of JBS was conducted as a preliminary stage Stakeholder input was (and is being) sought Changes will not be made unless they can be shown to be fully justified Work to conduct any QS or TP changes will begin after the May 09 CIA Training Must be delivered Just In Time A Lean Training philosophy was employed

8. Infantry SchoolÉcole dinfanterie Criteria for Selection of Options and Required Outputs The best training solution will deliver: Achieve strategic objectives (NCM PD 2020) Current and competent soldiers and commanders (trained Just in Time) Tactical Excellence Outstanding Leadership – Mentorship & Development A training flow that will match the JBS requirements for each Infantry position: i.e train in time and to need Resource efficiency for the training system (esp time)

12. Infantry SchoolÉcole dinfanterie OPTION COMPARISON Option1. Status Quo2. Improved Sequencing 3. Improved Sequencing + Train to Need Meet Strategic Objectives (NCM 2020) Limit tactical trg. Skill fade. Tactics outdated. Improved Tactical & Leadership Skills. Training Flow (Timing and Needs) Most dont need FFQ Sect Comd training delivered too early Wpns Instruction delivered later Some Inf WO will not use or need FFQ FFQ delivered on a needs basis Sect Comd trg delivered at an optimal period Resource Efficiency Considerable duplication. FFQ is not relevant to sect comd. 2240 Less total soldier-trg days by moving FFQ rearward in NCM career. More than 2240 soldier-trg day savings. FFQ Trained as needed.

15. Infantry SchoolÉcole dinfanterie Conclusion Input now required: Validation of the results of the review Selection of the optimal training sequence Approval for further development Next Phase of the Project Presenting these recommendations for approval in principle to AITA, DAT and Comd LFDTS. Staffing changes to OS, QS, and TPs of DP1, IPSWQ, PLQ-INF, and DP3A. The creation of a generic Field Firing course with an OSS, QS and TP is already staffed at DAT since the rest of the Army requires this training also.
