Facts(1 of 2)
HR functional certification for deploying units does not exist
A solid pre-deployment training plan is essential for deployment success
Force providers are responsible for providing trained and ready forces to the Combatant Commanders
Overall S-1, G-1, and HR unit sustainment training is inconsistent, non-standardized, and lack Functional Certification; staff/unit attendance not mandatory; multiple standards for training execution across Compos
Lack of established training gates for HR organizations and staffs to facilitate higher headquarters’ validation
Some HR organizations deploy without attendance at any HR Functional Training exercise or HR Functional Certification CTE
Leaders across HR community (all Compos) have requested development of and participation in an HR Functional Certification CTE for organizations prior to deployment to support command validation
3
Facts(2 of 2)
No single Army HR functional operational training lead
USARC is the Executive Agent for Silver Scimitar; FORSCOM G1/AG the Executive Agent for Silver Scimitar Lite
All ACOMs have TRA over S1/G1 and SRC-12/63 (HROB) organizations
First Army has no authority over Reserve Components until mobilization
Combined Arms Command (CAC) is the Executive Agent for the Battle Command Training Program (BCTP); CASCOM sponsors CPX-S exercise
Training centers have limited HR-centric training capabilities (BCTP, CTCs)
AGS Proponent provides SME support to training events without dedicated resources
AAA determined:
There is no standard Army-wide sustainment and deployment training available to HR professionals
Various commands execute ad hoc training that has no Army-level oversight or coordination
4
Assumptions
USARC will be remain aligned under FORSCOM HQs in the out years; First Army will continue to validate Compo 2/3 HR organizations
Units will be resourced according to the Aim Points within the HQDA Manning Guidance; austere resource environment exists - funding for training centers and exercise support will continue to be available in the out years
The Army will designate specific ACOMs to coordinate/execute HR Functional Training and Certification CTEs and establish requirements for Exercise Operations Cells
SRC 12 (HR Theater-level) and SRC 63 (sustainment-HROBs) training requires a new approach to resolve the operational HR Training and Certification gap; satisfaction of Annual Training requirements for RC will be properly integrated
S1/G1 staff training requires an Army-level approach (outside Silver Scimitar CTE) to resolve the HR Functional Training and Certification gap at the available training centers (BCTP/CTCs); requires Army-level directive and additional HR personnel resources for existing staffs
Problem Statement
5
Current training approach to HR Functional preparedness
created a Training and Certification gap that is not
synchronized with the ARFORGEN timeline resulting in
Theater-level HR organizations and S-1/G-1 sections that may
not be fully prepared to assume comprehensive HR support to
Commanders and Soldiers upon deployment.
– HR skills are perishable; experience/expertise
challenges exist inside formations
– Persistent conflict
– Hyper-modularization/IBU deployments
– Minimal sustainment training; HR functional
training is infrequent
– HR units are inconsistent with pre-deployment
& deployment execution
– No single organization to assess/train/certify
– Validation plan not integrated for SRC 12 / 63
(HROBs) organizations
- SRC 12
- SRC 63 (HROB)
- BDE S1
- DIV G1
- CORP G1
- AC / RC
Proposed HR Functional
Certification Venues
• Silver Scimitar (SS) as a semi-annual HR Functional Certification Exercise (Ft Devens) for SRC 12 & 63 (HROB) organizations (all Compos)
• Other Venues: (TBD)
– Command Post Exercise – Sustainment (CPX-S) as a Certifying Exercise (Ft Lee) (SRC 63 HROB)
– Mobilization Training Center (MTC) CTEs as Certifying Exercises by First Army for Compo 2/3 HR organizations (SRC-12/63 (HROB))
– Battle Command Training Program (BCTP) as Certifying Exercise (Ft Leavenworth) (S1/G1)
– Combat Training Centers (CTCs) as Certifying Exercises (NTC-Ft Irwin/JRTC-Ft Polk/JMRC-Hohenfels, GE) (S1)

Courses of Action
• COA 1: (Status Quo) – All available venues continue to train/prepare units and organizations based on current resourcing w/out HR Functional Certification requirement
• COA 2: (SS Pilot Only) Silver Scimitar piloted as premier semi-annual CTE for SRC 12/63 units based on ARFORGEN force cycle pool
• COA 3: (All Venues Piloted) SS and other venues (CPX-S, BCTP, MTCs, CTCs) piloted as HR Functional Certification CTEs through Army level directive
7
COA 1 – Status Quo
• All available venues continue to train/prepare units and organizations based on current resourcing w/out HR Functional Certification requirement accomplishing the following:
–Interacting with multi-component, multi-echelon units
–Conducting Group Staff Training
–Providing theater orientation to HR units
–Training and executing HR tasks
–Providing opportunity for unit/organizational team building, cohesion, and networking
• Achieve a “crawl-walk” level of preparedness
8
• SS as the primary HR Functional Certification CTE focused on SRC 12/63 HR deploying organizations (all Compos)
• SS CTE provides/establishes:– Mission focused doctrinal training by type of organization
– Extended “hands-on” functional systems training
– Certification Gate for mission essential HR training prior to deployment
– Pre-Assessment AAR & HR functional certification evaluation against collective task standards for specific attending unit/organization
– HR organization functional certification (51% attendance w/Key Leaders)
– Shift in training approach; unit/org assessments and certification conducted by designated and trained Observer Controller/Trainers (OC/Ts)
– S1/G1 assessments conducted (not certified); added training value only
– By exception, a potential First Army certification/validation venue for Compo 2/3 HR organizations

Silver Scimitar
• Requires:– FORSCOM or other ACOM OPORD directing mandatory attendance for
AC units; Army level directive or support required for ARNG/USAR participation
– Pre-requisite Training Certification Memo produced by attending organization’s CDR during FPC 30 days prior to SS CTE
– OC/T Certification Training development (w/First Army OC/T participation or other coordinated support)
– Battle Update Brief (BUB) charts that delineate progress (against collective task standards Metrics or Measures of Performance) by unit/organization for higher HQs command review during CTE site visits
– Establishment of ACOM Exercise Operations Cell (13 Personnel)
– Production of Organizational Level Certification Memos by Exercise Director upon satisfactory performance of CRITICAL collective task standards; organization determines follow-on RTW requirements for command validation

Resource Requirements
OC/T Requirements:• *1 SME/3 Teams or Platoon for HR Certification (PLT
HQs/PAT/CLT)
• * 1/HQs Element/TG PAT/MMT/HRSC Division/HROB
ACOM Exercise Operations Cell: (Total 13)• HQs Element – Director (06), Deputy Dir (GS), NCOIC (E9), Admin
(E4)
• Plans Cell – OIC (03), NCOIC (E8), NCO x 2 (E5)
• Training Operations Cell – OIC (04), NCOIC (E8), Warrant Officer (W4), NCO x 2 (E6), NCO (E5)
Note: Example Only - Additional requirements for ACOM exercise support exist – TBD by ACOM
Resource Requirements
Friction Points:• Compo 1 (AC): Funding provided through FORSCOM OCO
• Compo 2/3: Training days available for Reserve Component Pre- and Post-mobilization (based on category & mission of unit)
• Funding Compo 2/3 (availability & release of DEF (OCO)/CEF funds for mobilized Compo 2/3 units)
• Command authority Pre-mobilization (First Army has OPCON of ARNG unit only upon arrival at MTC)
Command Feedback
G1, Division West:• We anticipate push back on pre-mob training for RC HR Soldiers.
Job conflicts, lack of AT/extended AT days, real work to do at the unit,
more important (tactical) tasks/Soldiers to train than admin types, etc.
Don't believe commanders will buy SS as the CTE for HR personnel
when there is a CPX that is viewed as a CTE already scheduled.
• Would be great advance to "ruthlessly" enforce Silver Scimitar
participation, however commanders get a vote.
• How does this mesh with in-theater OJT/certification programs?
• Other training assets available - FORSCOM PERSAT Team, AG School
HR Leader Courses (Brigade S-1 Operations Course and the HR Plans and
Operations Course). What is their role or disposition under this
proposal? Would assets be taken from these resources to fund
Proposed initiative?
COA 3 – All Venues Piloted

• Silver Scimitar (SS) as a semi-annual HR Functional Certification Exercise (Ft Devens) for SRC 12 & 63 (HROB) organizations (all Compos)
• Command Post Exercise – Sustainment (CPX-S) as a Certifying Exercise (Ft Lee) (SRC 63 HROB)
• Mobilization Training Center (MTC) CTEs as Certifying Exercises by First Army for Compo 2/3 HR organizations (SRC-12/63 (HROB))
• Battle Command Training Program (BCTP) as Certifying Exercise (Ft Leavenworth) (S1/G1)
• Combat Training Centers (CTCs) as Certifying Exercises (NTC-Ft Irwin/JRTC-Ft Polk/JMRC-Hohenfels, GE) (S1)
Recommendation
• Adopt a two-phased approach to HR Functional Training Certification CTEs– Phase I – Select COA 2 as a Pilot Run during FY 12 Silver Scimitar semi-
annual CTEs
– Phase II - Transition to COA 3 upon proof of principle of Phase I; implement in other venues through Army level directive beginning FY 13
• Designate FORSCOM G1/AG as Executive Agent of the semi-annual Silver Scimitar HR Functional Certification CTE; direct/resource other commands for Phase II (CAC, FORSCOM, First Army, USAREUR, TRADOC)
• Leverage First Army assets to support SS CTE for mobilizing orgs ILO MTC CTEs (except for retrain/validate opportunities at MTCs)
• Determine Army-level General Officer authority for HR Training (FORSCOM G1/AG, TAG/AHRC, DMPM/Army G1, SSI CDR)
