There are fixed costs (including manpower) that come with running courses. Decentralizing courses may save units "getting dinged to do centralized training" but the fact is that more smaller courses will actually cause more work across the PRes as units get "dinged" to provide the 1-of Crse O, Crse WO and Admin NCO for every at or below min-load course going.dogger1936 said:My suggestion let the reserve units run their own battle school (dp1). This keeps some units from always getting dinged to do centralized training; and the reg units train them to the standard pre deployment.
Because that would be absolutely stupid. Without standards, we (the Army) can have no idea of what has been trained & what guys actually know. A Cpl from the Buckshot Fusiliers would be wildly different in comparison to a Cpl from the Kootney Highlanders, and as an institution we would have no idea what to expect. Should we choose to "refrain from worrying" about standards, then PRes IT would become an elaborate means of throwing away money.dogger1936 said:... why not refrain from worrying about "standards" ...
Do not confuse the Reg-Res training delta as a deviation of standards. The delta is consciously built into the standard so that the PRes is not burdened with training unnecessary or unsustainable skillsets. If the training burden is to be eased, maintaining standards and widening the delta is a potential option.
