Background

The Army's training challenge is to optimize, synchronize, and support training in schools,

training in units, and self-development to produce forces ready to respond across the full spectrum of

military operations.

Most Signaleers arriving to 1ID from AIT do not have the essential skill set required to perform their duty

MOS. Additionally, units within 1ID have equipment and task unique to their organization,

therefore, require specific skills essential to mission accomplishment.
