CHAPTER III

PROCEDURES

1. General

a. Training as a System. All types of military training, as defined in the attached glossary
shall be considered as interdependent parts of an overall training system. Possible effects on
other parts of the system shall be considered when decisions are made that primarily concern one
part of the system. For example, the effects on unit training shall be a key consideration in
decisions on institutional training.

b. Allocation of Resources for Training. Allocation of resources for the training of

military individuals and units shall be consistent with assigned missions and employment and
deployment schedules and related requirements for training.

c. Application of Simulation. Simulators and other training devices for weapon systems
and equipment shall be utilized when they are available and capable of effectively and
economically supplementing training on the actual equipment. Particular emphasis shall be
placed on simulators that provide training that might be limited by safety considerations or
constraints on training space, time; or other resources. When deciding on simulation issues, the
primary consideration shall be improving the quality of training and consequently the state of
readiness. Potential savings in operating and support costs normally shall be an important
secondary consideration.

d. Application of Technology to NYG training. The use of technology shall be emphasized

in developing solutions to the unique training problems of the NYG components that are related
to limited time and training facilities.

e. Use of Contract Support. Contract services may be used to support and/or conduct
instruction in military training programs when applicable, using the appropriate resources within
DMNA.

2. Individual Training

a. Training Requirements and Utilization. All training of military members shall be based
on requirements for knowledge and skills needed for specific missions or, as applicable, on
requirements for broader military skills, such as leadership. Required knowledge includes an
understanding of the conduct necessary to maintain high standards of mission effectiveness and
unit cohesion.

(1) The number of members to be trained shall be based on the number of job positions
in the approved force structure, the projected inventory of qualified members, and projected
gains and losses in each skill and skill level.

III-1
 NYGD 1322 Draft-1

(2) To avoid unnecessary training, assignment policies for each job skill shall be aimed
at fully utilizing qualified members with relevant previous training.

b. Procedures for Structuring Training Programs. A systematic set of procedures shall be

developed and used to design, conduct, evaluate, and revise individual training programs, by
each MACOM. Unless relevant prior experience makes one or more of those procedures
unnecessary, the process shall include the following steps:

(1) Identify training requirements for tasks to be performed on the job (OJT) and the
knowledge and skills required to perform those tasks.

(2) Determine the proper allocation of training tasks between institutional training and
OJT in operational units.

(3) Choose the most cost-effective methods of instruction and identify training
equipment and other media requirements.

(4) Investigate methods of tailoring training to the more restricted time available to
members of the NYG components and develop curricula to meet their needs.

(5) Develop programs of instruction, including exportable instructional packages to

support OJT in units.

(6) Develop methods based on performance objectives for evaluating student progress
and success.

(7) Develop procedures, including feedback from operational units, for evaluating
training programs to provide a basis for revisions and to verify that the programs meet
training requirements at an acceptable cost.

c. Other Related Considerations

(1) Institutional training courses shall be no longer than required to fulfill course
objectives as identified through a systematic needs analysis. Teaching methods such as
individualized instruction, which satisfy course objectives and compress time in training
status, shall be considered for use when determined to be effective and economical and when
student capabilities make these teaching methods feasible

(2) The satisfactory performance of identified learning tasks, when feasible, shall be the
criterion for graduating from school courses.

(3) The ability of units to conduct effective OJT shall be considered when dividing
responsibility for teaching tasks between schools and units during the development of
training programs

III-2
 Draft-1 NYGD 1322

(4) Computer-based instruction shall be considered as a tool for delivery or

management of instruction when front-end analysis determines that its use is effective and
efficient.

d. Training of New NYG Personnel. All new officer and enlisted personnel shall be given
fundamental instruction for transitioning to the military environment, instilling discipline, and
teaching military skills required of all or most members of the NYG concerned. This training
shall include briefings upon entry and periodically thereafter required under the Code of Military
Conduct as contained in the Military Law of the State of New York. In addition, new personnel
shall receive training in occupational specialties through institutional training courses or OJT.
Such institutional training normally shall be limited to the skills required in the initial period of
service, i.e., the first enlistment period for enlisted personnel and the initial term of obligated
service for officers.

e. Training of Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs). Each MACOM shall maintain military

training programs, including institutional courses and OJT, which, with job experience, provide
for the continued development of NCOs as leaders and skilled technicians.

f. Training of Officers. A structure of training programs for officers shall be maintained to

provide a foundation for progressively more demanding leadership, managerial, and technical
responsibilities and subsequent professional military education.

g. Inter-MACOM Training Cooperation. The MACOMs shall work together to determine

effective and affordable solutions to common training problems. Consolidation or collocation of
training shall be considered when applicable.

h. NYG Schools. When skills with a high degree of commonality are required in more than
one MACOM, consideration shall be given to establishing a single NYG school, if cost effective,
to provide the required training.

i. Capability for Mobilization Expansion. Each MACOM shall review periodically its
requirement for trained military manpower under mobilization conditions and its capacity in
facilities, equipment, and training staff for meeting this requirement. Verified deficiencies shall
be considered for correction.

3. Collective Training

a. Requirements for Collective Training. Collective training shall serve to achieve

standards of unit proficiency required to accomplish missions.

b. Realism. Subject to such constraints as safety requirements and limits on space for
training, all collective training shall be conducted under conditions and rates of activity closely
approximating those that the units being trained may encounter in accomplishing their assigned
missions.

III-3
 NYGD 1322 Draft-1

(1) When constraints limit the use of realistic training conditions, then simulation and
other products of training technology shall be used as applicable to enhance realism.

(2) All collective training exercises shall emphasize realistic performance of the
functions of individual personnel in the exercising units.

(3) Support units shall be integrated into exercises for realistic training in their state
active duty / mission supporting roles.

c. Joint and Combined Exercises

(1) Units from two or more MACOMs that might operate together in an active duty
mission shall conduct joint exercises periodically to maintain a high standard of coordination
and joint control.

(2) Combined exercises with DMNA forces, and state agencies shall be conducted for
establishing and maintaining a capability to cooperate effectively in accomplishing assigned
missions.

d. Shared Use of Training Facilities. To ensure effective and efficient utilizing of training
facilities,. each of the MACOM, as applicable, shall coordinate with the other MACOMs the
shared use of training ranges, devices, and other training resources under its control.

e. Operational Activities and Training. To the extent feasible, participation in operational

missions shall be used to meet the collective training requirements of the units involved.

g. Evaluation. All collective training and exercises shall be evaluated against established
standards of mission proficiency for identifying and correcting deficiencies. (Provide After
Action Reports.)

4. Training Events. Any major training event, planned by a MACOM, shall be subject to the
suspense dates as shown in the event time line as listed in Appendix A.
