File: 970207_aadci_095.txtODS MEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED C3I and TRAINING CATEGORIES TRAINING ISSUE NO. 4 Weapons Training Guidance Needed (SGHR ITEM NO. 45) DISCUSSION: Some weapons training was not accomplished until mobilized, based on AFRES decision not to train until that time. Range time was limited and there were a limited number of slots per month. Medical personnel need more than just "qualification" training, they need "employment" training. RECOMMENDATIONS: ARC must work to get medical personnel trained with as many qualified as required by AFI 41-106. Medical personnel should be required to have weapons employment training. Identify theater requirements for training and number of weapons. Establish training and UTC committees review AFI 41-106 weapons requirements. ACTIONS REQUIRED: Review weapons and training requirements listed in AFI 41- 106 and amend if required. Evaluate possible solutions to increase weapons training in the ARC. Identify theater weapons requirements for medical personnel. ACTIONS COMPLETED: New AFI 41-106 weapons and training requirements were reviewed, amended and/or validated by UTC by appropriate MAJCOMs, prior to publication. Theater weapon requirements have been validated and the standards set in AFI 41-106 meet the requirements. ARC headquarters are pursuing methods of increasing pre-mobilization weapons training. STATUS: OPEN.
