I am active duty, and currently in an active component/reserve component unit (AC/RC). The unit is a OC/T unit that consist of a full time staff that is comprised of both Active Component and AGR NCO’s, and Officers. The rest of the unit is comprised of TPU NCO’s and Officers.

As an OC/T you will assist units with the planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation of realistic and doctrinally correct lanes training exercises, mobile training teams, and functional assistance visits, IAW the Training & Evaluation Support System; provide MOS specific and functional area assistance to units on doctrinal matters related to mobilization, deployment, combat readiness, training, logistics, and administration; provide feedback to units through professional After-Action Reviews and written reports. On order, serve as a Unit Mobilization Assistor to ensure preparation, mobilization, and validation of units for war or contingency operations.

Your position will be a TPU position, unless you are AGR. From a reserve perspective you would not be performing duties as an OC/T during normal battle assemblies, but you would keep abreast of the training that all OC/T’s must have to be recertified annually. Of course you will need to go through an OC/T course first and get certified. Some reservist do end up on orders to run an OC/T mission if tasked to do so by their higher headquarters. Your unit could end up doing an OC/T mission for annual training. With this being said, it is really going to boil down to your units mission set. As far as the acronym you asked about, where I am at it is maneuver enhancement training.

As far as MOS goes, that is immaterial most of the time. On occasion there may be a specific need for a 15T, 12B, 88M or etcetera OC/T because that is the make up the unit that is being evaluated, but it is rare. Majority of the time you will have to research the information you need about various MOS’s so that you will be able to evaluate units. Your unit will get plenty of lead time from the Commander of the unit you will be evaluating. Generally your commander will know 3 - 5 months in advance what the incoming unit is planing to do for training.

Maneuver Enchancement OC/T for the Texas National Guard. Have you been to OC/T school yet? And for what MOS?

Respectfully, Vincent

I did it in the reserves back in2012. It’s typical reserve requirement but your annual training could be anywhere from two weeks to five weeks depending. You’ll go to one of the reserve component training centers; I did Ft Dix and either pull OpFor duty or OC/T for reserve/ NG units gearing up for deployment readiness.
