Summary Of Change
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 1
Chapter 1.
Introduction
1-1. Purpose
Establish policies and procedures for training and leader development within the U.S. Army Recruiting
Command (USAREC). Provide leaders with mandatory requirements, flexibility, and acceptable risk as it
pertains to training and leader development. Direct the preparation, implementation, documentation, and
disposition of all plans and programs associated with training and leader development.
1-2. References, forms, and Explanation of abbreviations
See Appendix A.
1-3. Associated publications
None listed
1-4. Responsibilities
Responsibilities are listed in section II of this chapter.
1-5. Records management (record keeping) requirements
The G-6 Administration Service Office is the POC for the Army Records Information Management
requirements.
1-6. Training challenge
The complexities of recruiting operations challenge commanders to develop the means and methods
necessary to train, develop, and sustain the recruiting force. Commanders will ensure soldiers and Civilians
are fully trained in their respective duty positions and mentored to provide professional development.
Training will focus on mission essential tasks and will encompass leaders, soldiers, and Civilians.
1-7. Training goals and objectives
Commanders will implement training that sustains and improves the performance of their units for short and
long- term mission capabilities. Commanders will invest in the individual leader and establish an environment
that promotes self-aware and adaptive leaders capable of responding to the ever-changing recruiting
environment.
1-8. Training management process
The training management process helps leaders identify training requirements and allows them to plan,
resource, execute, and evaluate training. Training management facilitates bottom-up feedback and top-down
guidance as outlined in FM 7-0 in order to create the most accurate representation of a unit’s readiness and
capabilities for commanders to implement their unit training programs. The routine completion of the
company/station training assessment review (CSTAR) by recruiting units assists commanders in assessing
their units and determines systemic training needs.
1-9. Training development process
The training development process begins when an actual or perceived performance deficiency is discovered,
this is called a triggering circumstance. Master trainers and training developers utilize the Analyze, Design,
Develop, Implement, and Evaluation (ADDIE) process and conduct in-depth needs analysis to assess
capabilities and performance gaps in any area of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and
education, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P). Within USAREC the utilization of the CSTAR
guides the training development process and enhances the training management process. For utilization of
the CSTAR see Appendix J, USAREC TC 5-03.4, TRADOC Regulation 350-70, and TRADOC Pamphlet
350-70-1 provide guidance on the training development process.
1-10. Unit training
Commanders will develop, implement, and manage training at the unit level using Digital Training
Management System (DTMS). DTMS is the only authorized automated system for managing training in Army
units, assessing Individual tasks, and developing unit training plans and schedules IAW AR 350-1 (see
Appendices B and C).
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 2
1-11. Institutional training
USAREC manages training in schools for all soldiers and Civilian Staff (with the exception of
Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development System (NCOPDS), which the U.S. Army Human
Resources Command (HRC) manages. USAREC G3 Training Division manages the resident training base
and distributed courses through the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS). Training
programs operate in accordance with the provisions of AR 350-1.
1-12. Evaluation of training programs
Commanders will establish training evaluation programs that compare the ability of individuals, leaders,
Civilians, and units to training standards. Evaluation is the basis for the commander’s unit training
assessment. To keep the training programs dynamic, leaders will use the AAR format located in DTMS to
determine the effectiveness of the training management cycle using:
Informal evaluations take place whenever a leader visits ongoing training. This type of evaluation
gives leaders a firsthand look at the training environment and the training’s effectiveness.
Formal evaluations (survey’s, testing, etc.) take place at scheduled times and are synchronized to
provide specific scope of a unit’s capabilities.
Internal evaluations measure the leader’s ability to train and the soldier’s and Civilian staff’s ability to
receive training as demonstrated through live-fire, role-play, and hands-on applications; these evaluations
put the evaluator at an advantage due to a pre-existing understanding of the Soldier’s and Civilian’s current
abilities and perceived potential.
External evaluations include the Organizational Inspection Program, brigade and USAREC staff
assistance visits, and inspector general inspections, the training assessment board (TAB), and training and
operational assessments (TOA).
1-13. Risk Management
Commanders are the risk management experts and ensure implementation of risk management occur in all
aspects of mission planning. Commanders will ensure that all military and civilian employees within their
command complete the online Risk Management Basic Course at https://safety.army.mil/ during in-
processing. Commanders will perform risk assessments in accordance with ATP 5-19, Risk Management.
Commanders will continually assess the risks in any training event to prevent loss of personnel and
equipment. All training involves some degree of risk, but commanders should not take unnecessary risks.
Commanders will assess their unit’s capabilities and evaluate risk when establishing training periods.
Commanders possess the flexibility to identify periods during the year when risk to mission is acceptable and
block out training periods that meet the unit, soldier, leader, and Civilian training needs. The CG, USAREC
provides a list of training topics where commanders can assume risk. While assuming risk is a leader’s
responsibility, it does not mean that training stops.

system for managing student input to training including any required DL courses. This automated support
tool establishes training requirements, determines training programs, manages class schedules, allocates
class quotas, reserves training seats, and records student attendance.
3-4. Order of Merit List (OML)
An OML determines the most qualified personnel to attend NCOPDS, specialty, functional and professional
development courses. All battalions will maintain an OML and submit it to the brigade SMT each month. The
brigade SMT will compile a consolidated OML and scrub it for accuracy monthly.
Note: A sample OML is at Table 3-2.
USAREC determines the order and selection for 79R functional course attendance. HRC determines
the order and selection for attendance for NCOPDS, but it remains the battalion’s responsibility to track
soldier’s eligibility and NCOPDS requirements. NCOPDS notifications are sent via ATRRS directly to the
soldier with a courtesy copy to the soldier’s First Sergeant and CSM. Upon receipt of notification, the soldier
will inform their immediate supervisor.
Senior Master Trainers will immediately notify the next soldier on the OML to replace cancellations or
deferments. This best prepares the soldier and avoids losing a training seat. HRC manages replacements for
all NCOPDS, USAREC only actions requests for NCOPDS and cannot schedule or directly cancel NCOPDS.
Cancellations, deferments, and train ahead requests are routed through G3 Training Schools Manager to the

Execute relevant, challenging, and complex education and training.
Deliberately plan and leverage opportunities for unit/organizational assignments and extra duties to
challenge and provide new experiences for leaders.
Demand and provide honest developmental feedback to guide self-awareness and development.
Formulate professional development around the Army Leadership Requirements Model.
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 22
Employ the fundamentals of developing leaders: setting conditions, providing feedback, enhancing
learning, and creating opportunities.
Allow time for subordinates to pursue educational and self-developmental opportunities.
Develop leaders to operate effectively at their next level of responsibility and ensure preparation for
success at their next level of education.
The commander’s primary responsibility is to ensure that their unit can perform its mission.
Accordingly, the commander focuses training activities on mission performance including Officer
Professional Development (OPD) and Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development (NCOPD) and
developing a broad set of professional competencies.
A key component of LPD is the Leader Transition Program. The program gives new leaders an
opportunity to accompany departing leaders through their operational area prior to the change of command
or transfer of authority/responsibility. The program provides an excellent opportunity for training and
mentoring incoming leaders. Appendix H provides detailed information on this program.
For more guidance on leader development reference FM 6-22.

support the commander’s LPD program. The NCOPD will focus on building the warrior spirit and contributing
to the professional and personal growth of NCOs. A strong NCO support channel is the key to accomplishing
all unit missions effectively. Commanders will enforce and CSM/1SGs will execute NCOPD.
As with all LPD, the NCOPD is a command responsibility. The program reflects command priorities
and experiences for LPD with management by the CSM or unit’s senior noncommissioned officer.
Leaders will refer to DA Pam 600-25, which is the Army’s NCO professional development guide for
career management field (CMF) information.
Leaders will refer to TC 7-22.7 to frame and goal NCOPD around the Noncommissioned Officer
Common Core Competencies (NCOC3).
4-18. Unit training events
In some cases, events may occur through nontraditional means to minimize training costs (TEAMS,
teleconferences, Blackboard, ALMS DL training modules, etc.). Likewise, units may reduce costs by

Commanders and leaders at all levels will mentor and influence their subordinates to perform self-
development. Commanders will ensure all eligible NCOs are enrolled in their applicable level of DLC and will
ensure soldiers complete their level within 180 days of enrollment. Leaders will assist all soldiers and Civilian
Staff to incorporate guided and personal self-development into Individual Development Plans (IDP) in the
Army Career Tracker (ACT)

Training Management and Records
Section I.
Training Plans
B-1. Long-range planning
USAREC will post its annual training and leader development guidance to DTMS allowing a
minimum of 90 days planning time for subordinate echelons to establish their training plans and training
guidance (Appendix C). The command training guidance (CTG) is posted to the organization’s long-range
training calendar in DTMS. The CTG is a reference for the planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation
of training throughout the long-range planning period. Examples of topics normally addressed in the CTG
are:
Commander training philosophy.
Major training events.
Leader training.
Recruiting staff development training.
Individual training.
Self-development.
Training evaluation and feedback.
New equipment training.
Resource allocations.
Training management.
Risk management.
Commanders post the long-range planning calendar concurrently with their CTG and post it into
DTMS. The calendar graphically depicts the schedule of events described in the CTG. Once approved by
higher headquarters, long-range planning calendars are “locked in” to provide planning stability for
subordinate organizations. Only the approving commander can change a long-range planning calendar.
Upload Annual/Command Training guidance in DTMS in the Training, Plan, and Document Library
folder. Include the FY into the title of the document.
B-2. Short-range planning. Short-range planning and subsequent plans cover a specific quarter within the
fiscal year and perfect the long- range training strategy and is the commander’s responsibility.
Brigade and Battalion Commanders’ will submit short-range training plans (Quarterly Training
Guidance) to the next higher-level headquarters for\approval and post in DTMS NLT 6-weeks prior to the
execution date of the plan.
Company Commanders and Station Commanders (NPS) will complete the Company Station
Assessment Review (CSTAR) in Appendix J and develop their next Quarter training plan NLT 5 working
days following the end of last RSM of the Quarter, submitted to the next higher level for approval, and
uploaded into DTMS.
Medical Recruiting Brigade conducts a CSTAR every 60-days and will develop the next Quarter
training plan within five (5) calendar days following distribution of data from Brigade.
Short-range planning should be flexible and allow for modification or revision based on individual unit
needs. It will enable the commander to accomplish the following:
Translate training requirements from the annual training plan into a logical series of training events.
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 28
Provide detailed guidance to trainers, including training objectives.
Coordinate resources allocated to support designated training events.
All Training guidance and CSTAR will be uploaded in DTMS in the Training Plan and Document
Library folder. Include the QTR and FY into the title of the document.
Note: Station CSTAR are uploaded into Company document library. Company CSTAR are uploaded into the
Battalion document library.
B-3. Near-term planning
The near-term training adjustments covers a one-month period within the short-range (Quarter) training plan
and completed by the company commander with input from the first sergeant and station commanders.
Near-term training plans further refine the shortrange plan and focuses on immediate training needs that
arise or not covered in the short- range training plan. Leaders will make adjustments in the training plan
within DTMS. The near-term plan is designed to:
Make final coordination for the allocation of resources for training.
Ensure training objectives specified in the short-range training plan are scheduled and executed.
Prepare detailed training schedules and lesson plans in a timely manner.
Section II
Training Records
B-4. DTMS Individual Training Record
Individual Training Records (ITR) within DTMS are sufficient records of training regarding performance.
Commanders will enforce accurate input of training completed, to include GO/NO-GO status of individual
tasks within DTMS. Training subjects outside of the individual tasks found within the applicable Soldiers
Manual for Training Guidance will be created as local tasks in order to record training on that subject. Local
tasks must include accurate and objective actions, conditions, and standards during their creation in order to
provide and accurate assessment of the soldier’s performance against those actions, conditions, and
standards when training on that local task.
B-5. Event Sign-in Rosters
Sign-in rosters for scheduled training events are sufficient records for training conducted. Event rosters will
be created in events scheduled in DTMS and printed for signatures of trainees to prove attendance. Sign-in
rosters will be uploaded into events in DTMS after the event is concluded. In the event that a sign-in roster
cannot be completed the commander will document participation through a memorandum that can be
uploaded into that training event in DTMS.
B-6. Event Counseling (DA Form 4856)
Specific instances of superior and substandard performance in training must be annotated on a
developmental counseling form (DA Form 4856). Event counseling sessions are utilized in conjunction with
training in order to guide soldiers in identifying strengths and also weakness in order to capitalize on those
strengths and overcome weaknesses. These instances of developmental counseling must outline a plan for
the counseled soldier moving forward that clearly depicts current performance and performance milestones
to strive towards.
B-7. USAREC Form 350-1.2
All individual training is recorded on USAREC Form 350-1.2 (Figure B-1) located in the USAREC
Publications Library. Trainers must place special emphasis on the “Trainee’s response and/or comments”
regarding the training they received. The trainee’s feedback will validate the training’s effectiveness and
assist in the planning of future training. There is no requirement to upload USAREC Form 350-1.2 into a
soldiers ITR. Copies will be maintained in the trainee’s counseling folder.

79R Noncommissioned Officer Leader Development Program
D-1. General
The Noncommissioned Officer Leader Development Programs contain the tenets of the Army Leader
Development Strategy and Leader Development Model. It incorporates the unique USAREC training
requirements to support and strengthen the Corps while preparing NCOs for current and future mission
capabilities regardless of assignment. All leaders will support, invest in, and execute this program.
Note: A USAREC proponent review may alter the proponent and school requirements.
Figure D-1. Sample of the 79R Leader Development Program
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 34
Appendix-E
Self-Development Domain
E-1. General
The Self-Development Domain is where planned and goal-oriented learning reinforces and expands the
depth and breadth of a leader’s knowledge base, self-awareness, and situational awareness. Self-
development bridges learning gaps between the operational and institutional domains and sets conditions for
continuous learning and growth. Leaders at all levels will complete, influence, and assist subordinates in
becoming life-long learners using the three self- development techniques. Responsibilities for:
All leaders:
Promote the self-development of all individuals in USAREC.
Provide resources and training to enrich the self-development within USAREC.
Battalion/brigade commanders/command sergeants major ensure that in addition to unit training
outlined in this regulation that soldiers are afforded time to self-develop.
Company commanders and first sergeants:
Guide and resource the self-development of 79R based off personnel development community found
on the Army Career Tracker and the 79R professional development model.
Counsel Recruiters on the utilization of DA PAM 611-21 MOS qualifications in order to remain
qualified in their PMOS.
Station commanders will guide and resource the self-development of Recruiters based off their unique
PMOS and individual goals.
Recruiters are responsible for remaining informed on changes in their PMOS in regard to
qualifications, certifications, systems, and professional/personnel development models in addition to self-
developing in recruiting skills.
E-2. Army Career Tracker (ACT)
The Army Career Tracker (ACT) is a single aggregated source for assignment history, experience, skills,
education, civilian acquired skills, interests, and extended relationships. As a leader development tool, it
integrates data on training, education, and experiential learning from a number of source systems into one
personalized and easy to use interface, provides users a more efficient and effective way to monitor their
career development, allows supervisors to track and advise employees on their leadership development and
career program managers the ability to reach the geographically dispersed careerists. In USAREC leaders
are faced with developing and guiding the self-development of soldiers from a variety of PMOS. The ACT
enables leaders to assess themselves, their careers, and the same for their subordinates regardless of
geographic dispersion. Each Career Management Field (CMF) has a personnel development community
where leaders and soldiers can find information and resources to guide self-development and establish clear
career goals based on individual CMF and broader leader development.
E-3. Guided Self-development (GSD)
Guided Self-development (GSD) is recommended, but optional learning to help prepare leaders for changing
technical, functional, and leadership responsibilities throughout their career. A critical GSD component is the
use of boards. Leaders should prepare for and participate in boards, such as NCO of the
Month/Quarter/Year and the Sergeant Audie Murphy/Sergeant Morales Clubs, to broaden their knowledge
base, instill discipline, and to improve communication skills and leadership potential.
E-4. Army E-Learning (SkillSoft)
Army E-Learning is a free resource for soldiers to access professional reading material, tutorials,
certifications, and courses for information technology skills, well-being, business skills, productivity &
collaboration tools, engineering, and much more. Army E-Learning includes a library of free professional
books that can assist in professional self-development and that can be used to assist in GSD.
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 35
E-5. Educational Activities
The Army’s goal is for every soldier to become a warrior learner continuously learning and growing in their
tactical, technical, and civilian education domains. Many self-development activities come from programs
and services offered through the Army Continuing Education System (ACES). The ACES assists soldiers
with self- development as described in DA PAM 600-25. The ACT site is also an incredible resource for the
individual soldier to view all available resources the Army has under the “my planner/career map” tab.
E-6. Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST)
FAST offers instruction in reading, mathematics, and communication skills to help soldiers function on the
job, prepare for advanced training, and meet prerequisites for continued education.
E-7. Earning a College Degree
All NCOs should have a goal of earning their degree while assigned to USAREC. College level courses are
available through installation education centers that coordinate with participating colleges to provide on-post
programs that lead to award of an associates, bachelors, and/or master’s degree.
E-8. Army Correspondence Course Program (ACCP)
The ACCP provides a variety of self-study correspondence courses that are specific to each MOS and CMF.
Leadership and training management courses are available, which gear towards professional development.
Proponent schools develop the courses, many of which consist of sub courses that provide soldiers
promotion points upon completion.
E-9. Knowledge Skills, and Abilities
Development of self-awareness in various human domains; recognizing self-awareness as a vital
aspect of leader development and psychological health in the USAREC environment. There are a number
of psychological factors that influence one’s success as a leader. A central factor is an accurate awareness
of one’s competency and areas for growth, also known as self-awareness. Self-awareness is acquired
through an internal self-assessment and/or input from external sources like peers, training, coaching, or
other experiences in life of a personal or professional nature. However, in the absence of integrating
personal experiences and/or systemic feedback humans tend to be very poor at self-awareness and are
not prone to critical self-assessments. Self-awareness empowers leaders to develop emotional
intelligence, which is necessary for long-term effectiveness in personal and professional endeavors.
The critical knowledge, skills, and behaviors (KSB) involved in the development of healthy self-
awareness consist of:
Adaptive Leadership
Emotional Intelligence
Cognitive Flexibility
Perspective Taking
Communication Skills
Behavioral Performance Science/Mental Toughness
Courage, Commitment, and Humility

Company/Station Training Assessment Review (CSTAR)
I-1 General
The Company/Station Training Assessment Review (CSTAR) is a mandatory quarterly template to analyze
the company or station operational capabilities and identify training needs. The CSTAR facilitates the review
of a company or stations last completed quarter data, facilitates the identification of the root cause training
deficiencies, and develops a training plan for the upcoming quarter. This flexible template allows the addition
of items for assessment and contains two parts: Part 1 for analysis and Part 2 for training plan development.
The CSTAR, (USAREC Form 350-1.6 (NPS) is located in the USAREC publication site. The use of auto
calculating CSTAR forms are authorized so long as the root cause analysis, courses of action, and training
priorities are still determined by the user manually. These types of forms can, in place of standard forms, be
uploaded into DTMS IAW this Regulation. The Medical Recruiting Brigade will use internally developed
CTARs until systems effectively support training assessments.
Administration:
The completion of the CSTAR (NPS) is mandatory for company commander/first sergeant and station
commander NLT five (5) working days following the completion of the last RSM in the quarter.
The Medical Recruiting Brigade will complete their internal CSTAR every 60-days. Brigade will
distribute data to subordinate units at the end of every 2nd calendar month for completion NLT five (5)
workings day from distribution.
The identification of operational deficiencies through the CSTAR develops the company/station
training plan and schedule. Upload training schedules in DTMS and post the CSTAR into the document
library in DTMS for higher-level approval prior to the start of the next calendar quarter (NPS and AMEDD
(IAW Appendix B).
Note: Station CSTAR uploaded into Company document library, Company CSTAR uploaded into the
Battalion document library)
The CSTAR is an inspection item.
Additional references and instructions for the CSTAR are located in USAREC TC 5-03.4, Training
and Leader Development.
Additional references and instructions for MAP Analysis are located in USAREC TC 5-03.1,
Prospecting, Processing, and Analysis.
Responsibilities:
All leadership levels:
(a) Enforce and validate the proper use of the CSTAR.
(b) Incorporate CSTAR into all inspections (virtual and physical).
Battalion Commanders/CSMs:
(a) Utilize the CSTAR to assess the validity and relevance of the company-training plan.
(b) Validate the company’s training plans matches priority training requirements within the CSTAR and
approve upon receipt but NLT 10 working days into the quarter.
(c) Review the CSTAR to identify systemic trends across the Battalion.
(d) Senior Master Trainer: Review and assess submitted CSTARs and training plans quarterly to
identify systemic training issues and provide input to the Leadership.
Company Commanders/1SG:
(a) Complete the company level CSTAR NLT 5 working days following the completion of the last RSM
of the quarter (NPS) or every 60-days for the Medical Recruiting Brigade.
(b) Use the station level CSTAR as a validation tool to validate the company’s overall assessment,
UR 350-1 19 September 2022 51

(c) Validate the stations training plans matches priority training requirements within the CSTAR and
approve.
Station commanders: Complete the station level CSTAR NLT 5 working days following the
completion of the last RSM of the quarter or W/I five (5) days of distribution from Brigade (AMEDD).
Instructions (NPS Only):
Part 1 Operational Analysis: Part 1 (Table-I-1) is analyzing tasks against a standard, understanding
the root cause, prioritizing which deficiencies are most critical to address and developing courses of actions
to correct the problem.
Note: During task analysis, leaders use T&EOs to determine if personnel perform the tasks to a standard,
and to identify which performance measures are deficient. Instructions.
(a) Assessment Criteria: Review the assessment criteria listed and incorporate local items of interest.
(b) List the standard for each criterion from Flash to Bang and lower. These are intended for local
standards, items in gray are example standards only.
(c) List the actual results for each criterion from the last completed quarter. Only appointment made by
category will list actual MAP requirements, beyond appointment made by category all information entered
will be actual achievements from the map against the previous sections achieved. EXAMPLE: Appointment
made by category for Grad was 96 for 130 (directly from MAP), however in the CSTAR appointment made to
conduct will only count those 96 Grad appointments made against the amount of Grad conducts actual (not
required on the MAP) which is 52. In this example Grad appointment made to conduct would be 52 for 96.
(d) From the Test to Test Pass line through Floor Conversion the CSTAR will be calculated using RA
Volume, RA Grad TSC I-IIIA (GA), RA Senior TSC I-IIIA (SA), and AR Volume only.
(e) Identify the root cause for each criteria representing deficient standards.
Note: Be specific as to the root-cause as it ensures task selection meets the training need. It is important to
delineate between what is a training need and what is deficient due to non-compliance or other operational
considerations.
(f) Prioritize the criticality of the deficiency for each criteria using Red, Amber, or Green.
Red = Critical task that must be trained immediately.
Amber = Task that must be trained within the quarter.
Green/Blank = No training required at this time or if time permits.
(g) The course of action is the proposed action to correct the deficiency.
