Stotz Private Leonard Lusher Mr. Albano Ackley Mr. Larry Arms Ms Charlotte Jones Mr. R. T. Edwards Armor ,, BAD MOUTHING OTHER SERGEANTS One thing that is a bit upsetting to me is the all to frequent bad-mouthing of one sergeant by another sergeant. Not that some don't deserve it --those who have retired in place, those who avoid duties and responsibilities, those who are only part-time subjects and never support. Others soldiers -they desreve to be discussed and identified by their peers (maybe we can help them or prevent future failures) -but not in front of junior soldiers and officers. It only down-grades the entire corps of noncommissioned officers. One of the great strengths of the officer corps is that you don't hear a good officer discussing the bad points of others in "public." We all have good and bad points, strengths and weaknesses and everyone makes mistakes. We owe it to one another to help correct the weaknesses and bad points and help prevent mistakes. One of the most frequent things I have heard are how bad the guy someone replaced was. This is perhaps the thing that really gripes me as the other guy was probably in a somewhat different situation -with some different people; but worse, the individual is not there and can't defend themselves. If we are doing something right, share the pride and good feelings, if we are soing something wrong, tell me about it--give me a chance to fix it -or clean up my act -just don't let things sit and stew. If you only tell my replacement how screwed up my act was, look into the reflecting glass as you were a part of the play. Dont forget your Johari Window. Don't get it slammed shut. COMMAND COVER-UPS If you don't believe that these things still occur, your world is one of fantasy. If you want the straight scoop, talk to some of the junior NCO's about some of the policies (illegal) and standards (flexible) in their last unit. Talk with soldiers that are outstanding performers in your unit today and have nothing to gain by "spilling the beans," or "correcting a wrong." might be shocked by what you hear, but most probably will not believe it. You A few of the "cover-ups" of "preventive measures" I have seen were to prevent embarassments or threat to mission performance or to protect the "reputation" of the unit. Some of these include: --non-compliance with mandatory urinalysis testing (either complete rank discretionary) or --cover-up of positive urinalysis results for "good" soldiers --non-enrollment in ADAPCP for "selected" offenders --non-allowance of "Health and Welfare" searches drug-detection animals to include --soft standards on PRT tests for certain soldiers or ranks --soft standards on common task tests for most everyone --condone sub-standard sergeant performance, appearence or training I have seen most of the above in several units and attempted to correct where possible in the NCO Support Channel or put into the chain of command when not. My biggest concern is not so much with the regulation violations, unethical practices or favoritism. These will be around in some form or other for the foreseeable future, something I don't like but can't do much about at my rank. My biggest concern is that our training standards and tolerance of low quality sergeants. This is something that we NCO's can correct. If you think your training standards are high, be sure you check that others are maintaining and enforcing them. Check with soldiers (use a survey or questionaire to allow them to answer honestly -without worry of retaliation). You will be able to find out your strengths and weaknesses -both indivicual and unit. PREFACE 1. The primary purpose of this manual is to support the Noncommissioned Officer Development Program by providing to all enlisted personnel an easy to read. quick reference source of information pertaining to general military subjects. It is written with the understanding that many soldiers do not have ready access. within their duty sections. to publications necessary to fully develop their professional skills. While this document is not intended as a substitute for official publications. it does provide a basic knowledge of publications available. All Noncommissioned Officersshould become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual and use it. in conjunction with appropriate official publications, to train our soldiers in support of NCODP, and to prepare for Boards. 2. This is a unit reference document only. Contents should not be construed as official information. This document does not supercede, supplement. or replace information contained in official publications. 3. When used by soldiers in prepar.ation for Soldier-of-the Month competition or Promotion Boards, it is the individual's responsibility to verify the accuracy of information contained herein. 4. Areas such as current events and MOS specifics are not covered in this study guide, and they are the responsibility of the individual. 5. This study guide covers several areas which are not covered on all boards. Before an individual begins studying for a Board, it is recommended that he/she consult his/her supervisor for a list of pertinent areas to be covered for that particular board. i DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY HEADQUARTERS US ARMY COMMUNICATIONS-ELECTRONICS COMMAND AND FORT MONMOUTH FORT MONMOUTH 1 NEW JERSEY 07703 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF: AMSEL-CSM 30 June 1985 SUBJECT: Soldier Study Guide TO: Soldiers interested in Promotion Supervisors interested in their Soldiers 1. This study guide has been prepared by the many different units of the command and Fort Monmouth in order to aid our soldiers to prepare for soldier competition and promotion boards and for our units to use in their noncommissioned officer development programs. 2. This study guide should not be interpreted as the sole publication required to prepare oneself to appear before a board. Users should be aware that information changes and some errors or discrepancies with primary source materials such as Field Manuals is possible. 3. My primary purpose is to consolidate information available in sev.eral different study guides and to make available materials that we have found soldiers to be deficient in. In addition, it is felt that many soldiers do not have access to the many different references on a daily or recurring basis. 4. The job requirements for your specialty and skill level can be found in A~ 611-201, the Enlisted MOS Book and your Soldier's Manual to include FM 21-2, Common Tasks. You must know the common tasks for this training year well enough to give a class on them and you need to know all facets of your MOS -even though you may not be required to perform these tasks daily. For those gray areas you don't know well, get into correspondence courses to learn them. 5. Your NCO supervisor, First Sergeant or Unit Training NCO can give you the information you need to prepare, check records and enroll in correspondence courses. Don't be afraid to ask. Your supervisor has probably been through several boards. Remember ONLY the best qualified get promoted. Knowledge is the most valuable asset you can have when you go before boards. 6. I \'lant you to study for your promotion!

Read the Army Times the week before and the week of the board. Ensure that you read the front page articles well. These are the things which remain in people's minds after looking over the entire newspaper and most likely could become questions on the board. 2. If there is a local civilian newspaper which is written in english, it would be a good idea to become familiar with the front page stories within the week the board is being convened. 3. Listen to the local news on the radio or watch it on television the night before the board and the morning of the board. 4. Doing the things in the first three paragraphs will expose you to most of the information which could become a question on the board. 10 CHAIN OF COMMAND (00 IT YOURSEU') The following are considered to be the basic positions in the chain~f-command whichshould be in existence in most headquarters or commands.

From a tiny cluster of Army tents squatting in a clearing not far from the New Jersey seashore during World War I, Fort Monmouth has grown to be a leading military technological and logistics center. The bustling years betw~n the first world war and now have seen Fort Monmouth scientists and engineers make breathtaking advances in military research and development. Here in 1928, the first radio-equipped meteorological balloon soared into the upper reaches of the atmosphere, forerunner of a weather sounding 'technique universally used today. It was here, in 1938, that the first United States aircraft detection radar was developed. And here, in January 1946, space communications was proved feasible when a radar pulse was bounced off the moon and a return signal received. The tradition of such historic "firsts" stretches back in time to July 20, 1917, when the Army established a reserve officers training battalion at Signal Corps Camp, Little Silver, as the post was then known. A battalion training course was initiated Sunday night, July 22, 1917. At this historic post now, Army researchers are pushing ahead with their work in electronics and allied fields to provide better, more sophisticated equipment and systems for the American soldier. . But the scientific and logistics center that is Fort Mon mouth today is a far cry from the briar-covered tract that greeted the eyes of 32 soldiers who arrived at the site on Monday, June 4; 1917, the vanguard of thousands of troops that would crowd the post in ensuing weeks. General orders dated June 17, 1917, named Lt. Col. Carl F. Hartmann as the first commanding officer of Signal Corps Camp, Little Silver. · On Sept. 15, 1917, the Army changed the name of the post to Camp Alfred Vail, in honor of the New Jersey in .# ••: -...• ..• Jlr: This was For/ Monmouth headquarters building in the 1920s. FORT MONMOUTH'S HISTORIC PAST • ventor whose genius and financial aid contributed materially to the development of the Morse telegraph. On Aug. 6, 1925, the War Department declared the camp a permanent military post, officially designating it~ Fort Monmouth. ! Thus the camp joined the ranks of permanent garrison~-in the military establishment, its name paying tribute to soldiers of the American Revolution who fought and died on nearby fields. .· Construction boomed, and by the spring of 1935 Fort Monmouth had acquired the first positive appearance of permanency. A new home for the Signa!fCorps Laboratories was completed in March 1935. Russel Hall was completed as post headquarters in May 1936. When the outbreak of World War II in Europe caused a state of "limited emergency" in September 1939, all Signal Corps functions faced the most urgent evolution in their history. Hundreds. of buildings, barracks, and other structures were built to house expanding activities and facilities. Expansion continued throughout World War 11, the Korean War and the intervening years to the present. Other Fort Monmouth activities are centered in the Hex agon in the nearby Charles Wood Area, the Evans Area in Wall Township and CECOM Office Building in Tinton Falls. The Army Communications-Electronics Command is the host command at Fort Monmouth. Fort Monmouth's total working population is made up of 8,400 civilian employees and about2,500 soldiers. Family members number nearly 4,400. Army activities at Fort Monmouth have a major impact on the economy of Monmouth County, with a combinei' civilian and military payroll of more than $250 million ar( nually. The greater part of this personal income is spent in---~ the Monmouth County consumer market. I-2 famous FortMonmouth ..Firsts" Since its establishment in 1917. Fort Monmouth has gained renown as one of the world's foremost electronic cen ters. In the years which have followed the World War I era, this installation has written ma jor chapters in the chronicles of communications, electronics, me teorology, and the related arts and sciences.

TtlI I-7 8. 513th Military Intelligenc.c Group The 513th Military Intelligence Group was constituted in the regular Army as the 513th Military Intelligence Service Group on October 22, 1952, and was activated January 15, 1953, at Oberursel, Germany, designated as a subordinate command of the U. S. Army Europe. It was reorganized and redesignated on October 20, 1953, as the 513th Military Intelligence Group and subsequently assumed command and control of numerous subordinate elements and field stations located throughout West Germany. The Group was reorganized and redesignated again July 25, 1961, as the 513th Military Intelligence Corps Group, and was later redesignated to its current name. The Group reached a peak manpower authorization of 1,192 personnel and performed its mission of intelligence collection and counter-espionage with distinction in support of U. S. Army Europe; the Group was deactivated in Germany June 25, 1969, c and reactivate~ October 1, 1982, at Fort Monmoutl1, New Jersey. The 513th MI Group consists of Headquarters and Headquarters Company; 201st Military Intelligence Battalion; 202nd Military Intelligence Battalion; and 174th Military Intelligence Company all located at Fort Monmouth, and 203rd Military Intelligence Battalion, located at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. The Group's unit crest has great symbolism attached to it. The Teutonic helmet with crm..m are allusions to Camp King in Oberursal, West Germany, and its front facing position suggests alertness and vigilance. The laurel branches on either side are symbolic of honor and achievement. In the collar the colm:.s black and white denote the two types of intelligence collection previously provided by the Group, and the repetition of the pattern indicates the overall coverage of Europe. This crest is also used by the !74th MI Company. c I-8 Group's motto is ''Per Vigilantiam Scientia "(Knowledge Through Vigilance). The 20lst MI Battalion's crest is highlighted by silver gray and oriental blue, which are the colors associated with Military Intelligence units. The helmet is adapted from the distinctive insignia of the unit's parent organization. The globe refers to the world-wide scope of the unit's mission and to the "all source" aspect suggested by the motto. The lightning flash and sword are symbolic of speed and accuracy of communications, and the laurel in the base denotes achievement. Its motto: is "Accurate Fast All Source." The 202nd MI Battalion crest also has the silver gray and oriental blue colors and its parent unit's helmet to symbolize counterintelligence activities. The flash denotes speed and electronic warfare. The torch signifies truth and alludes to interrogation. The dragon, a mythological guardian of treasures, symbolizes security and strength. Thus, the design elements of the device personify the unit's mission and capabilities. Its motto is "Conlige et Profice" (Collect and Exploit). The 203rd MI Battalion crest uses the tradional silver gray and oriental blue. The gridline sphere represents the unit's world-wide mission, and the gear refers to the technical aspect of their responsibilities. The helmet has been adapted from its parent unit and symbolizes covert vigilance and preparedness. The laurel, a traditional symbol of achievement, exemplifies the motto "Technicians for Victory." The 513th Military Intelligence Group has subordinate elements located throughout the United States and provides continuous support to exercises throughout the world. As a member of the Intelligence and Security Command, the 513th fulfills its designation of "Viligant Knights" by its work as a multi-disciplined echelon above corps intelligence collection and production unit. 1-9 ~\N ,_(-l 0~ ~ /' ~ '~ c c ~· ~ :s ~ ~ ~ HISTORY-174th Ml Company The 174th Military Intelligence Company was constituted in the Army April 5,. 1945, as the 174th Language Detachment, and was activate< April 23, 1945, on Luzon, Philippine Islands. It was cited by the Philippine nation for it!.. participation in the liberation of the islands from the Japanese empire. After inactivation Jan. 24, 1946, in the Philippines, the unit was redesignated and alloted to the regular Army Jan. 14, 1955, as the 174th Military Intelligence Platoon. It was activated March 7, 1955, at Fort George G. Meade, Md. After a transfer to Fort Hood, Texas, the unit was inactivated there June 30, 1965. Now redesignated the 174th MI Company, it is the unit which operates the Echelon Above C0rps Intelligence Center in support of TUSA and CENTCOM. ~ 4. Ci ~ 0 ~ I-10 HISTORY-17th MI Company The 17th was originally constituted in the Army June 21, 1944, as the 17th Counterintelligence Corps Detachment and was activated July 1, 1944, at Camp Forrest, Tenn. The unit was deployed to the European Theater of Operations in support of the 17th Airborne Division where it participated in airborne assault landing operations prior to a stateside return and subsequent inactivation on Sept. 16, 1945, at Camp Myles Standish, Mass.

The command combined certain assets of the U.S. Army Security Agency, the U.S. Army Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Army Forces Command, and the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of the Army. On 1 October 1977, now observed as INSCOM Organization Day, the functional realignment of these intelligence assets was completed. INSCOM's direction comes from the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence and other national authorities. INSCOM's mission is to provide multidiscipline intelligence, security and electronic warfare operations for the Army at echelons above corps in war and peace, and be prepared to respond to tasking as nee·ded and as directed by the Department of the Army, in order to contribute to deterring war, warning of impending war, and winning the war. To accomplish this mission, INSCOM employs more than 16,000 military and civilian personnel. INSCOM has three basic types of units: field stations, single discipline military intelligence units and multidiscipline military intelligence units. As part of the worldwide U.S. communications network, the field stations provide rapid radio relay and secure communications for the defense of the U.S. and its allies. Single discipline military intelligence units provide intelligence and security support to the Army at large. Multidiscipline military intelligence units have resources such as counterintelligence, operations security support, and signals security support units; multidiscipline military intelligence units provide security support to forward deployed and deployable Army forces. In addition to these, INSCOM has several unique units. The U.S. Army Russian Institute produces Soviet area specialists for the United States. The Institute's program includes soviet area studies, travel in the Soviet Union, as well as two years of advanced Russian language training. The Central Security Facility provides information to more than 400 authorized requestors worldwide, including the Defense Investigative Service; it handles requests submitted under the Freedom of Information Act. The Special Security Group is charged with providing a secure means for disseminating sensitive compartmented information for supported organizations. These are just a few of INSCOM's many unique units. Headquarters elements of INSCOM are presently located at two sites: Arlington Hall Station, Arlington, Virginia, and Fort Meade, Maryland. There are military intelligence units in Panama, Korea, Germany, Japan, and the United States. Field stations are located in Germany, Japan, Korea, Panama, Turkey, and the United States. The U.S. Army Russian Institute is located in Garmisch, Germany, the Central Security Facility is at Fort Meade, and the Special Security Group is headquartered at Arlington Hall Station.

All units assigned to this command wear the INSCOM shoulder sleeve patch, except those assigned to U.S. Army Field Station Berlin, who historically have worn the shoulder sleeve insignia of the Berlin Brigade. Units organized under the Tables of Organization an:d Equipment wear their own crests based on their history, mission, and lineage. Those units that have no previously authorized unit insignia will wear INSCOM's crest. Some units organized under the Tables of Distribution and Allowances wear the INSCOM crest, while others wear none. All units are authorized to display the INSCOM plaque. The crest with teal blue background and gold grid lines, is a globe with its long axis placed ---~ vertically. The globe, which alludes to the worldwide intelligence mission of the Command, has two ( sprigs of gold oak leaves molded together at bottom center. The oak sprigs, curving upward below , the base of the globe, signify fortitude and endurance. In conformance with the crest's axis, in the center there is a gold double-webbed key with its bow at the top. The key is symbolic of security and control. The teal blue is symbolic of coolness and courage, while the gold color of the grids stands for excellence and wisdom. The patch, a battle-axe shaped shield, has a field divided into four quarters--the second and fourth quadrants are silver gray, and the first and third quadrants are teal blue. The quartered fields allude to the four primary intelligence functions: the collection, analysis, production, and dissemination of intelligence information. The silver gray and the teal blue of the quadrants denote determination and loyalty. In the center of the patch a white torch with flame crosses a white lightning bolt. Superimposed over the crossed torch and lightning bolt is theyellow double-webbed key with its bow located at the base. The key is symbolic of secuhty and control and its colors of yellow and white denote achievement and energy. The lightning bolt signifies worldwide electrical communications, both friendly and hostile, while the torch stands for knowledge and vigilance. The patch is rimmed by a narrow yellow border. Using the same general internal design as the shoulder patch, the Command plaque, circular in shape, denotes global coverage. Instead of the quadrants representing intelligence activities, the seal displays a solid teal blue background with a broad circle of silver gray on the outside edge. In r this circle, the Command's name is printed in yellow. In the center ring there is the same white~ _ torch with flame crossing a white lightning bolt, and the same yellow double-webbed key as that --, depicted in the shoulder patch. Its symbology is the same. The outside edge of the seal is rimmed with yellow. 9. 535th ENGINEER DEtACHmENt Uut!l~a 15 June the Ar11lY of the unitea ~tates as the 28921) Engineer technical Intrelligenc team. tnactivatea 15 $eptemher 1959 at fort Belvoir,Activate!) 12 June l)irginia. 1944 at canaan, Englana.

The cornmodi ty cor:;~anos included an Electronics Com~and, a Missile Command, a Munitions Command, a Mobility Command, and a Weapons Command. A Supply and Maintenance Co::;,Jana, ;;lus a Test and Evaluation Cow:Jand were the two functional comrnands. Also established early were Project Manager offices to intensively control thedevelopment and acquisition of highly visible weapons systems and equip~ent. The mission of the command from the beginning has been the life cyclemana~e~ent of materiel from concept through research and development, procurement and production, supply and distribution, and finally, into disposal.Another early task was to not only accomplish this nission, but to do it withever-increasing efficiency and effectiveness through stan0ardization and thereduction of installations and civilian strength. Consequently, the years 1962t~rc~gh 1985 h2ve seen nu~erous realign~ents, reductions, base closures, 2ndconsolidations, all aimed at refining the operations and structure of the gigantic logistics complex into a smooth, lean operating command. When required to meet demands, new installations and activities were established. Eight successive -comrnanders broue,ht new, innovative methods and commandffiana&e~ent styles to the command, all aimed at increasin~ productivity andreducin6 costs of the command.

MYLES G. MARKEN, SR. Senior Historian AMCfiE-H/15 ~ar 85 Z-A-5 ) SECTION II THE UNIFORM 1. I ~if\COUCT ION. a. Throughout recorded history, soldiers of all nations have worn uniforms to distinguish thell"'lelves from civilians and ·from soldiers of other nations. Uniforlll!l haYe consistently been used to improve on the appearance of and to instill pride in the soldier. Since_ the earliest or times,uniforms have conformed to the general style of clothing in vogue· at the time, Mhile providing adlstinctive image for the soldier, thereby placing him above the common man. b. In the United States, uniforms have evolved slowly. F"rom the days of the revolution upthrough the Indian wars of the west, uniforms were mostly makeshift. Jobst soldiers onlt had aminitrum of regulation uniform items end equipment. The rest of their outfit was broughl from home ormade from animal skins or pieces of canvas, whatever was handy. Exa~les of th.is were the pre-civilwar soldiers of the frontier that wore mostly buckskins and the post-civil war soldiers of the farwest who wore whatever they could find from denim pants and checked, flour sack shirts to theregulation uniform. Some soldiers wore the blue uniform wool pants with pieces of denim or canvas sewn in the seat and legs to prevent saddl~ sores and undue wear. The regulation hat was the blueforage cap. This did not work to well on the western frontier, so the calvary hat was ~arn from thecivilian wide brim·stetsons. Some soldiers eypn wore straw hats. c. In the earlier days, the same uniform was worn for all occasions Whether it be leave,garrison duty, combat or whatever. Segin~ihg shortly after the Spanish American war, the co~cept of carn:~uflage came into being as a result of changing tactics end requirements. During this time, ageneral purpose un1form was developed for fatigue wear and combat; and • dress uniform was instituted for special occasions. Through development of tactics and concepts of operation, together td:th requirements to operate in ever expanding areas of the world, the uniform has seen almost continuous changes from woolen CG' s to today 'a RDU and everything in between. d. The noncommissioned officer has always had a responsibility to insure his soldier's uniforiiSand equipment were kept in a high state of cleanliness and repair. With the addition of womensoldiers, to the·general force an~ the advent of modern uniforms that can be worn in literally dozensor different combinations, the noncommissioned officer's responsibility·in this regard has increased proportio."lately. 2.

What is the importance of camouflage? A. Correctly used, it can spell the difference between a successful campaign and defeat; to the individual it can mean the difference between life and death. 2. What is direct observation? A. It refers to the process whereby the observer sees the subject physically, that is,with his eyes -aided or unaided. An example of this is using binoculars. 3. What is indirect observation? A. The observer sees a picture or an image of the subject, and not the physical subjectitself. Photography, radar, infrared, and television are used in indirect observation. 4. In modern warfare aerial photography has assumed a place of extreme importance, and in regard to camouflage detection and inspecdon, photography has reached a stage where it is indispensable. Name the three categories of aerial photographs used in camouflagedetection. A. Vertical, high oblique, and low oblique. 5. What are the four types of ftlm used in aerial photography? A. Black and white, color, infrared, and camouflage detection film. 6. Regardless of the method of observation employed, there are certain factors which must always be present to help the eye and brain identify an object. These are termed factors of recognition. Name the factors of recognition. A. Position, shape, shadow, texture, color, and movement. 7. There are three fundamental ways of concealing installations and activities? What are they? A. Hiding, blending, and disguising. 8. What is individual camouflage? A. It is the concealment a soldier uses in combat to surprise, deceive, and outwit his enemy. Ill-S ", 9. DISGUISING THE HELMET: The outline of the helmet is one of the striking characteristics of. a soldier's equipment, and its curved familiar shape can be easily identified by the enemy. One of the first steps for individual camouflage is the disruption both of the form of the helmet and the strong straight-lined shadow it casts. There are several ways of doing this. See figure 12-1. 10. CANVAS EQUIPMENT: Age and repeated washings will fade canvas equipment. When this occurs it must be darkened with paint, mud, charcoal, or anything else that will reduce the tonal contrast. 11. SKIN: Face, neck, and hands should be toned down by painting them in a disruptive pattern or by toning them down in an even color. When using disruptive painting the patterns should cut across the nose lines, cheek bones, eye sockets, and chin lines. Burnt cork and mud can be used, or in the absence of natural materials, the face paint stick may be used. A mesh n~osquito netting, properly toned down, is an effective way of breaking up the outlines of tLe face. 12. WEAPON TONEDOWN: One of the simplest ways to distort the giveaway outline of a weapon is by wrapping it with burlap garnishing or strips of cloth dyed to match the background. Pattern painting the r I weapon is another excellent method of distorting the weapon outline.. The shiny parts can be covered by cloth, paint, or mud. Care must be taken when camouflaging a weapon to ·.:nsure no interference in the sighting and firing of it. i J. SHINY OBJECTS: Rdlection .from brightly shining objects is a common breach of camouflage discipline. All shiny objects must be concealed. This includes such items as watches, rings, belt buckles, a1d mess kit items. A,common breach of discipline is the wearing of goggles on the helmet. -;hi~ is a violation which should be avoided. 14. CAMOUFLAGE CLOTHING: hdividual concealment requires a little planning and thought and ingenious use of materials ;:t hand. This applies to the camouflage of clothing also. In the absence of issued camouflage >Jr;iforrns, the soldier can make his own camouflage suit, adapting its color and pattern to tlw terrain background. Any coloring materials can be used, such as dyes, crankcase oil, or even a mixture of mud and grease. The important thing is to make the clothing look less like a uniform and mor~ Hkc the terrain in which it is to be worn. For use in snow covered terrain there is available a white garment designed to blend with a white or mottled white and black background. The snowsuit does not conceal the small patches of shc;.dow that surround a human figure, but this is not necessary since snow country is seldom all white-it does contain numerous dark spots and shadows. If certain snow areas are all white with ab::olutely no shadows, use is made of defills, snow drifts and natural folds in the ground. It III-6 ~J must be remembered that camouflage clothing and camouflaged equipment alone won'tconceal. The tonedown, the camouflaged helmet, the painted suit, the covered shiny objectsare just the beginning of the concealment job. Too often, men have relied with completefaith on a camouflaged suit, thinking themselves miraculously invisible, and completely disregarding all the basic elements of camouflage. This invariably leads to disastrous results.These measures make it easier to conceal oneself, but only when taken in conjunction with the principles ofscouting and patrolling. III-8 (1) Rubber bands, or expedient bands made from old inner tubes or burlap strips, secure noturol material.. (Nate position of band.) (4) Text11ring diminis.hu shine from steel helmet. (-\ (2) Slits in burlap allow insertion of natural material. (5) 811rlop helmet cover pattern pointed to break 11p salid color before natural materials ore inserted. (3) Form disrupted by burlap bows tiltd into t~litted (6) A disruptive paint pattern, with the pattern cover. carried across the curved lines of the edges, especially those seen from the front.

OVERVIEW: The primary objective of the US Army is to win the Arst battle of the next war. To ac:compliah this objective, US forces must be able to conduct successful operations in which nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons are employed. United States national policy completely prohibits our use of bit>logical weapons;and requires that all conventional means be severely tested and found inadequate before our use of nuclear weapons will be authorized. The apf'l'oval for our initial use of nuclear and chemical weapons must come from the President of the United States. If the threat nations decide that the initiation of NBC warfare is to their advantage, they may use their full delivery capability for NBC weapons in a massive surprise attack to achieve maximum advantage. US Army units must be highly trained in and well equipped for NBC defense in order to survive this fust attack and subsequent attacks and to continue to function effectively in an NBC environment. After this Arst use by threat forces, the support and exploitation of US retaliatory nuclear and chemical fires also requires an excellent NBC defense posture.

IV-13 TRAINING As a noncommissioned officer you play a vital role in the training of soldiers. This role is active in that you are responsible for accomplishing training objectives rather than responsible for training management. Your scope of responsibility may be narrower than that of the manager, but it is more concentrated and more exacting. As a trainer your duties include the requirement to prepare, conduct, and evaluate individual or collective training. Training is hard work and you cannot afford any substitutes or shortcuts during preparation. In all training situations, always look for the answers to these three questions. 1. WHERE AM I GOING? What must my soldiers do as a result of their training? 2. WHERE AM I NOW? What can my soldiers do now compared to what I want them to be able to do as a result of·training? 3. HOW CAN I BEST GET FROM WHERE I AM TO WHERE I SHOULD BE? What techniques, training methods, and organization offer the most effective and efficient use of available resources? Performance-Oriented Versus Conventional Training This section deals primarily with performan'ce-oriented training. Therefore, it is necessary that you understand the differences between performance-oriented training and what is called conventional training. Performance-Oriented Training Conventional Training Uses short demonstrations and "learning Uses lectures as chief method of by doing" as its main means of instruction. instruction. Makes the soldier active and centers Places the instructor in the central active training around him, giving him the time role. and support needed to learn.

Campaign stars may be verified by entries in Item 9, DA Form 2·1. 8. Promotion points are not authorized for completion of Basic Combat Training or MbS producing schools. This restriction also applies to training (BCT/AIT) acquired during prior sen;ce or in conjunction v,rith reclassification/reenlistment. This restriction applies whether or not the soldier was awarded an MOS, or if the MOS is PMOS, SMOS or AMOS. This restriction does not apply to the Special Fbrces Qualification Course, to !\:rther career development training or any ~iCOES courses defined in AR 351·1. (See item 4) 9. On-the-job training (OJT) and on·the·job-experience (OJE) as defined in AR 351·1 does not qualify for the award of promotion points. HEADSTART courses are authorized promotion points based on the 2 points per week rules. Entries in Item 17, DA Form 2:1 will serve as verification. (See item 4) 10. Credits are authorized for courses successfully completed by former officers provided the course was not closed to qualified enlisted soldien; on active duty. (See item 4) 11. Courses completed successfully in other US Uniformed Services are awarded points on the same basis as those awarded for US Pumy Courses. (See item 4) 12. Promotion points will be awarded under item 4A( 1) and (2) for all NCOES courses as defined in AR 351·1 that were successfully completed rc;;ardless of current MOS. Only the first NCOES course completed that is appropriate for current grade and MOS will authorize 30 points. Promotion points. will be awarded for any remaining NCOES course based on three points per week. For example, an E4 11 B would receive 30 points for.'PNCOC; but as an E5 llB, promotion points for PNCOC would be awarded based on three poim'~ per week and 30 points for BNCOC, if successfully completed. In thoi;e cases where the soldier's first NCOES collrse is PTC/BTC and is o\·er 15 weeks, award points under the two point.& per week provision instead of the 30 point rule.
