Course
Descriptions:
Training Command offers five programs of instruction to enhance
the education and performance of members of the Indiana Guard
Reserve. These programs of instruction include:
Basic
Training Academy
Provides instruction to non-prior service members to acquaint
these members with proper wear of the uniforms, military
formations, close order drill, military customs and courtesies
as well as other related subjects. This program is three
days in length and is conducted at Annual Training at Camp
Atterbury.
Basic
Noncommissioned Officer Training Academy
The purpose of this course is to prepare enlisted members
to perform the duties expected of a non-commissioned officer
in the various assignments such members will have in the
Indiana Guard Reserve. This program includes drill & ceremony,
close order drill, first aid, map reading, communications,
duties & responsibilities of a non-commissioned officer,
decision making, problem solving, sexual harassment, leadership
and other related military subjects. This program is one
year in length and begins at Annual Training. Formal graduation
takes place the following June for the candidates who successfully
complete the course.
Advanced
Noncommissioned Officer Training Academy
This course of instruction is designed for senior noncommissioned
officers (E7, E8 & E9). This course assumes that the students
enrolled have had a variety of military assignments and
thus builds on this foundation. The subject matter is very
broad, focusing on the role of the senior NCO at all levels
of command. The students are expected to contribute their
input in the form and manner of case studies. This program
is one year in length beginning in January, and is conducted
exclusively by senior NCO's in Training Command.
Officer
Training Academy
This program of instruction, in effect, is very much like
the NCOTA (See Above) but at a higher level. The purpose
of this course is to teach the candidates how to think and
comport themselves as officers. Included in this program
are such subjects as command & control, responsibilities
of command, problem solving, self motivation, military correspondence,
logistics, intelligence, drill & ceremony techniques, effective
communications, a CPX and other related military subjects.
This program is one year in length and begins at Annual
Training. Formal graduation and commissioning takes place
the following June for the candidates who successfully complete
the course.
Advanced
Officer Training Academy
This course of instruction is designed for field grade officers,
or aspiring field grade officers. The purpose of this course
is to broaden the scope of the students by having the IGR
coordinating staff selected members of the special staff
make presentations explaining their various staff functions
and how such contributes to IGR mission accomplishment.
Levels of military leadership and the attendant responsibilities
receive heavy emphasis. Command lectures from selected senior
officers also receive special emphasis. Female roles and
sexual harassment are included, depicted from a commander's
perspective. A block of instruction is devoted to public
speaking so that these officers can credibly represent the
IGR when called upon to do so in their home communities.
Other related military subjects round out this course. This
program is one year in length beginning in January and ending
in November at which time each student is required to make
an oral presentation and submit a paper on a selected topic.
