Amount
and Type of Control
During
IET, the cadre leadership should evolve from total control over soldiers
to the point where it duplicates the leadership environment in field
units. This gradual change supports the soldierization process,
yet lets the DS gauge how self-disciplined the soldiers are and maintain
or relinquish control accordingly.
A period
of total control (e.g., continuous cadre supervision, soldiers restricted
to company area, limited free time) will be enforced during phase I
of IET.
Privileges/limitations
for IET soldiers.
(1) Privileges
granted in IET should support the phase training program, which establishes
intermediate goals to help recruits in their transformation from
civilians to soldiers. Specific privileges will be associated with
each phase as incentives, and soldiers should be eligible for those
privileges as they progress in training. However, the decision to
award privileges must be based on individual performance. Soldiers
should be given additional freedom as they demonstrate more self-discipline
and the ability to accept responsibility. These are privileges,
not rights, and as such, can be withheld, modified, or withdrawn
by commanders based upon performance, mission, and program requirements. The
following privileges are the outer limits and, as such, commanders
can be more restrictive, if desired.
Phase
I (weeks 1 through 3 of Basic Training). No passes
are permitted and IET soldiers are restricted to the company
area. IET soldiers in this phase will be escorted to post
exchange (PX) by the DS for necessities or as a reward
for achievement. Soldiers are prohibited from driving privately
owned vehicles (POV) and from wearing civilian clothes. They
are also prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages and using
tobacco products.
Phase
II ( weeks 4 through 6 of Basic Training). Passes in
brigade area may be authorized. (Outside brigade area, in formation
and escorted only). This modification is used as a reward for
excellent achievement as determined by the battalion commander
for use of theaters, swimming pools, etc., which may not be available
within the brigade area). IET soldiers in this phase are prohibited
from driving POVs and from wearing
civilian clothes. They are also prohibited from consuming alcoholic
beverages and using tobacco products.
Phase
III (weeks 7 through 9 of Basic Training). On-post
passes may be authorized. Off-post passes may be authorized
after graduation from Basic Training. IET soldiers in this phase
are prohibited from driving POVs and
from wearing civilian clothes. After graduation, if of legal
age, they may be authorized to consume alcoholic beverages while
on pass. IET soldiers are prohibited from using tobacco products.
Phase
IV (weeks 1 through 3 of AIT or weeks 10 through 13
of OSUT). Off-post day passes on weekends (Saturday and Sunday)
may be authorized. IET soldiers must remain within a 50-mile
radius of the post and all passes must end NLT 2200 hours. IET
soldiers will wear the proper military uniform while on pass
(includes off-post passes). IET soldiers are prohibited from
driving POVs. If of legal age, they may be authorized to consume
alcoholic beverages while on pass. IET soldiers are prohibited
from using tobacco products.
Phase
V (weeks 4 through 9 of AIT or weeks 14 through 19 of
OSUT). The first off-post pass will be a day pass only. All
others may be off-post and overnight passes on weekends. Distance
limitations will be imposed by local commanders; however, all
passes must end NLT 2200 hours Sunday (or 8 hours prior to the
next training day, whichever is earlier). If of legal age, they
may be authorized to consume alcoholic beverages while on pass. IET
soldiers are prohibited from using tobacco products or driving POVs. Uniform
for off-post passes is left to the Commander's discretion.
Phase
V, plus (more than 9 weeks of AIT or more than 20 weeks
of OSUT). The following policy applies to all IET soldiers upon
completion of the 9th week of AIT (or 20th week of OSUT):
(1) For
those installations with the facilities to separate Phase V soldiers
(at weeks 9/20), from other IET soldiers, privileges will be
the same as permanent party soldiers.
(2) On
installations where separation is not possible, use of tobacco
and alcohol will be restricted.
Completion
of Phases
In
addition to attainment of centry, published training objectives, every
IET soldier is required to meet the qualification standards. These
requirements include but are not limited to:
Basic
Training and Phases I-III of OSUT:
(a) Pass
the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) with a minimum of 50 points
in each event, 150 points total.
(b) Qualify
with individual weapon.
(c) Pass
all end-of-phase tests.
(d) Pass
the End-of-Cycle Test (EOCT).
(e) Complete
all obstacle and confidence courses as prescribed in the appropriate
POI.
(f) Complete
bayonet and pugil fighting training as
prescribed in the appropriate POI.
(g) Complete
hand-to-hand combat training as prescribed in the appropriate POI.
(h)
Throw two live hand grenades and successfully complete the Hand Grenade
Qualification Course as prescribed in the appropriate POI.
(i)
Complete the Protective Mask Confidence exercise.
(j) Demonstrate
knowledge and understanding of the Army Core Values.
(k) Complete
all tactical field training, to include
foot marches and field training exercises (FTXs)
required by this regulation and the appropriate POI in Basic Training,
OSUT.
AIT
and Phases IV-V of OSUT:
(a) Pass
the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) with a minimum of 60 points
in each event, 180 points total.
(b) Pass
all end-of-phase tests.
(c) Pass
the End-of-Course Comprehensive Test (EOCCT).
(d)
Demonstrate performance of MOS-specific critical skills (skills
determined mandatory for the awarding of an MOS) as identified by
the proponent school and as prescribed in the appropriate POI.
(e) Complete
all tactical field training, to include foot marches and field training
exercises (FTXs) required by this regulation
and the appropriate POI in AIT, and OSUT.
These requirements
are set forth in order to produce the high quality soldier demanded
in today's Army. Therefore, only in extraordinary circumstances will
constructive credit be granted. The installation commander may grant
constructive credit to an entire class or an individual soldier for
a missed training event.
For example,
a class may receive constructive credit for an event missed due to
severe weather conditions for which time and/or resources preclude
rescheduling and execution. An individual may receive constructive
credit for a missed training event due to circumstances beyond his
or her control (such as illness, injury, emergency leave, etc.). Every
effort must be made to reschedule and conduct the missed training before
a decision to provide constructive credit is made. The intent is to
provide the means to a training center commander to graduate a
soldier who is deemed fully qualified, but through no fault of the
soldier, has missed a required training event. This credit should
be selectively used and only in those cases where there is a clear
demonstration that the soldier meets and exceeds the IET graduation
standards. It will not be used to pass marginal soldiers who have
not shown the ability to pass a particular training event.
This constructive
credit authority is applicable to all IET graduation requirements. Constructive
credit authority resides with the TRADOC ATC or installation commander
level and may be delegated no lower than the IET brigade commander
level. For those training sites located at non-TRADOC installations,
this authority will reside with the first general officer in that school's
chain of command.
