The Pentagon is discussing the possibility of having additional training allowed, to the USAR and the ARNG, of key leadership in order to have keep our readiness levels up.

This would solve a lot of problems, not least of which is the command's propensity to order command teams to training conferences in order to approve annual training plans on AT, leaving us to scrape and scramble to ensure that leaders are on orders during the Annual Training period with their troops.
Used correctly, it should improve training as well by putting the leaders in a paid status to execute planning and coordination of training events, rather than relying on FTUS or doing it on God and Country time.
I think the investment would be a good one.

I agree it would be good if used wisely. I also don't think it should be mandatory but up 39 days available would go a long way to compensating Command teams for what they are already doing.

I would be all for it. It would come closer to compensating those who already put in the time and serve as a wake-up call for those who don't.

Note: I don't think it should be mandatory for all, but definitely for those who desire to be in key leadership positions.

I believe that is would be a great help, especially when we as leaders need to attend NCOES/OES. this would negate the whole "do I attend NCOES Training this year OR do i go to Annual Training to support my Troops and make sure they are mission ready" This would be a great help during the one year deployment "gear Up" cycle that way we get to do both.
