b. Additionally, some task summaries include safety statements and notes. Safety statements
(danger, warning, and caution) alert user to the possibility of immediate death, personal injury, or damage
to equipment. Notes provide a small, extra supportive explanation or hint relative to the performance
measures.
1-3. SOLDIER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Each soldier is responsible for performing individual tasks that the first-line supervisor identifies
based on the unit’s mission essential task list (METL). The soldier must perform the task to the standards
listed in the SM. If a soldier has a question about how to do a task, or which tasks in the manual he must
perform, it is the soldier’s responsibility to ask the first-line supervisor for clarification. The first-line
supervisor knows how to perform each task, or can direct the soldier to the appropriate training materials.
1-4. NCO SELF-DEVELOPMENT AND THE SOLDIER’S MANUAL
a. Self-development is one of the key components of the leader development program. It is a
planned progressive and sequential program followed by leaders to enhance and sustain their military
competencies. It consists of individual study, research, professional reading, practice, and self-
assessment. Under the self-development concept, the NCO, as an Army professional, has the
responsibility to remain current in all phases of the MOS. The SM is the primary source of the NCO to
use in maintaining MOS proficiency.
b. Another important resource for NCO self-development is the Army Correspondence Course
Program (ACCP). Soldiers should refer to DA Pamphlet 351-20, Army Correspondence Course Program
Catalog, for information on enrolling in this program and a list of courses, or write to: Army Institute for
Professional Development, US Army Training Support Center, ATTN: ATIC-IPS, Newport News, VA
23628-0001.
c. Unit learning centers are valuable resources for planning self-development programs. They can
help access enlisted career maps, training support products, and extension training materials, such as
field manuals (FM), technical manuals (TM), and training extension course (TEC) lessons. It is the
soldier’s responsibility to use these materials to maintain performance.
