AR 350-1 states, "All Soldiers (E–1 to E–7, WO1, WO2, O–1, and O–2), on active duty (regardless of component) will complete [Army Warrior Tasks]AWT annually." For the Guard/Reserve its every 3 years (I think).

How does your unit satisfy this requirement AND how is the training recorded? Do you print out a bunch of Go/No-Go sheets and stack all of the training in one day round-robin style? Who, if anyone, records the training for a Soldier in DTMS?

Edit: I'm speaking at the Team, squad and platoon level here. [Thanks SGM Cunningham] DTMS is mentioned as I thought all AWT training eventually was recorded there.

I've never heard these strange foreign words. AR 350-1? AWT? FM?!

You are required to checked every Soldier trained by creating a signing roster on DTMS and then check every Soldier who was certified to a specific level so you can track who need to be certified.

You would want your training conditions and quality of performance by the soldiers to mimic what they would have to do when they have to go out and do this for real on a deployment. For the training to be meaningful you could sprinkle them into your training schedule a few at a time. Some tasks can be done at the squad level and some should be done at the company level. When I was in we would go to a parade field and do training all week until completed. But the way we did it was more check the block versus being relevant meaningful training. If you could actually have some resources like a training area where you could bring your soldiers and just focus on completing this training in an actual training area being able to utilize both night and day the training can be done more realistic. This would actually be good for the soldiers to meet the big Army requirement and become more proficient so they will be familiar when you actually have to deploy them.

That's good training! Unfortunately, the "garrison" Army doesn't do any of this very well. There is not enough time, space, or resources these days

We keep track of all training on DTMS. As for the the specific training in question, it is tailored to the Company METL.

Use ATN for all guidelines and training performance measures and a spreadsheat with all the Team/Squad/Platoon names on it to track T,P,U and remarks on it beside the task. This will allow for tracking and any refreshers on performance during training

My platoon just did this recently. We had all the soldiers carry score sheets thru each of the lanes once they were complete we did a memorandum for record for each task and a list of the names that completed each task and it worked pretty efficiently.

Combine several blocks at once. Use DTMS, pass or fail.

They should be keeping a record of the AWT on DTMS.

ATN has all AWT's as well as guidelines. Training should be documented in DTMS after instruction is completed.

Sgt your unit should be building the training schedules and risk assesments for all the AWT in DTMS and when there completed they upload a roster to show who completed them
