Admission is limited to active Army or reserve component enlisted personnel upon entry into MOS 88H10. No security clearance is required. Students must successfully complete eight weeks of training with at least a 70 percent average.
Progress is measured against validated training and testing criteria.
Branch, division, and directorate conduct scheduled and unscheduled monitoring of instruction to ensure quality training and student achievement. Television tapes and technical and soldier's manuals provide related instruction. Reference libraries are maintained at unit and post level for student use. Several sources exist for feedback on graduates' performance. Newly assigned instructors bring information from the field, and ATSC conducts random field surveys.
