1-7. TRAINING PROBLEMS UNIQUE TO MOS 25R
a. Training problems in MOS 25R occur where mission requirements restrict the time allotted to
training. In addition, equipment nonstandardization places a burden on the trainer and the soldier
because of the lack of manufacturers’ manuals, FMs, and/or TMs necessary to assist in training. This
requires creative solutions to scheduling that will match equipment to personnel and ensure sustainment
training and train-up for MOS 25R.
(1) The tasks in this STP are generic in form. In some cases, a specific model of equipment is
identified. However, any commercially available equipment can be used following the manufacturer’s
manual as long as the equipment meets job standards. Unlike most table(s) of organization and
equipment (TOE) units, VI units may not be equipped with the same model or type of equipment. It is
necessary that the soldiers have an opportunity to train on tasks that reflect the type of equipment
referenced in this STP.
(2) Many tasks in the VI equipment operator-maintainer MOS must be learned through on-the-job
(OJT). Some of the latest techniques can be observed through technical literature available at post
libraries, through local purchase, or through the Internet. Many outstanding commercial technical
publications are available through monthly subscriptions at minimal cost.
