Initial Training Overview: Training for this MOS consists of nine weeks of Basic Training, followed by five weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Fort Gordon, Georgia, including practice with equipment. Part of this time is spent in the classroom and part in the field.
Additional Training Information: Specific formal training opportunities for this MOS, including advanced training courses available at specific points of the soldier's career, can be found on the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) Web Site.
Restrictions: During Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), the Army limits a soldier's personal freedom, using a "Phase System," which grants increased freedom, based upon phase of training. For details, see Army Training Phase Restrictions.
Training Details: Basic electronics fundamentals to include: number systems, logic circuits, matter and energy, direct and alternating current, electromagnetic theory, inductance, capacitance, impedance, reactance, solid-state devices, semi-conductors, transistors, integrated circuits, transformers, amplifiers, and radio frequency equipment. Router training consists of basic networking, IP Addressing and Subnet Masking, Router operations, Static Routes, IP unnumbered, Oper Shortest Path First (OSPF), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Access List, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Tactical High Speed Data Network (THSDN).
