The Unit Mobilization Planner course is fairly short itself, only 3-4 days at Ft. Knox. It's a gentleman's course, roughly three dozen of us sat in a room, went through the ancient curriculum and shared experiences. The additional duty is far more important as you are responsible for coorinating the efforts to get the unit validated "trained" for deployment. You will work with many people, to include the training NCO to get WTBDs scheduled throughout the year and entered into DTMS; S1 and Medical to conduct SRPs; and the UMO to share what stuff needs to be moved to what location in priority throughout the mobilization cycle. The UMP is within the Commander's inner circle.
