RE: UCM 1-200 - TIER SYSTEM
Tiers of Readiness:
In order to efficiently streamline
training and allow training of various individuals at their own pace,
it is incumbent to have training and gear lists for various levels of
competency. The following tier list is a general competency for all
members to attain at their own pace with provided training sessions
and with outside training resources at the member’s own
expense. It is also necessary that certain individuals have the means
to test out of various trainings as they may already have these
competencies from their vocations. These individuals may be tapped as
trainers to provide their proficiency to other members as they are
identified.
Once a tier of readiness is
accomplished, this will help command to assign individuals to areas
where they can best be of service to the mission. All members should
create a record of training, completion of competency fulfillment,
and any other records to support their training and readiness
(jacket), including fitness reports from their commanders.
Gear lists are minimum requirements
needed to meet training and combat readiness for each tier. They do
not include or preclude personal comfort items or necessary items
such as medications, hygiene, and entertainment/recreation.
