CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1-1. GENERAL
a. This manual identifies the individual MOS training requirements for soldiers in MOS 25R.
Commanders, trainers, and soldiers should use it to plan, conduct, and evaluate individual training in
units. This manual is the primary MOS reference to the self-development and training of every 25R
soldier.
b. Use this manual with the soldier’s manual of common tasks (STP 21-1-SMCT and STP 21-24-
SMCT), Army Training and Evaluation Programs (ARTEPs), and FM 25-101, Battle-Focused Training, to
establish effective training plans and programs which integrate soldier, leader, and collective tasks.
1-2. TASK SUMMARIES
a. Task summaries outline the wartime performance requirements of each critical task in the
soldier’s manual (SM). They provide the soldier proficiency on training. As a minimum, task summaries
include information you must know and the skills that you must perform to standards for each task. The
format for the task summaries included in this SM is as follows:
(1) Task Title. The task title identifies the action to be performed.
(2) Task Number. A 10-digit number that identifies each task or skill. Include this task number,
along with the task title, in any correspondence relating to the task. To determine which tasks are
testable at each skill level, refer to Chapter 2, Part 2, Critical Tasks. The first two numbers of the last four
of each task DO NOT indicate the skill levels testable for that particular task.
(3) Conditions. The task conditions identify all the equipment, tools, references, job aids, and
supporting personnel which the soldier needs to perform the task in wartime. This section identifies any
environmental conditions that can alter task performance, such as visibility, temperature, and wind. This
section also identifies any specific cues or events (for example, a chemical attack or identification of a
threat vehicle) which trigger task performance.
(4) Standards. The task standards describe how well and to what level you must perform a task
under wartime conditions. Standards are typically described in terms of accuracy, completeness, and
speed.
(5) Integrated Evaluation Guide. This section may contain the training information outline
(performance steps in ASAT), evaluation preparation, and evaluation guide (performance measures in
ASAT). The training information outline/performance steps include detailed training information. The
evaluation preparation subsection indicates necessary modification to task performance in order to train
and evaluate a task that cannot be trained to the wartime standard under wartime conditions. It may also
include special training and evaluation preparation instructions to accommodate these modifications and
any instructions that should be given to the soldier before evaluation. The evaluation guide/performance
measures identify the specific actions that the soldier must do to successfully complete the task. These
actions are listed in a Pass/Fail format for easy evaluation. Each task contains a feedback statement
(Evaluation Guidance in ASAT) that indicates the requirements (for the number of performance measures
passed) for receiving a GO on the evaluations.
(6) References. This section identifies references that provide more detailed and thorough
explanations of task performance requirements than that are given in the task summary description.
