ITS's provide a common base of training for an MOS. They provide the basis for the SAT of all individual training. ITS's are to be used by institutional and unit commanders to determine proficiency, to establish training plans and courses of instruction, and to maintain a progressive and systematic method to monitor training impacts on Individual Career Development Plans. c. ITS's are derived from Mission Performance Standards which come from combat requirements of the Fleet Marine Forces. Changes to doctrine, force structure, and the introduction of new weapons and equipment will require revision of this Order on a regular basis. DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. ? 3. Information a. ITS's are to be used by institutional and unit commanders to design, develop, conduct, and evaluate their individual training. Institutional commanders will derive Terminal Learning Objectives (TLO) and Enabling Learning Objectives (ELO) from the tasks and performance steps set forth herein. Task lists reported on Course Descriptive Data (CDD) submissions will consist of task titles contained in this Order. Unit commanders will use the tasks contained in this Order as the basis of individual training in their long-range, short-range, and near- term training plans. b. The ITS system for Chaplains assigned to the Marine Corps contains the following: (1) Enclosure (1) contains the components of an ITS. (2) Enclosure (2) sets forth the ITS management, as it relates to use and maintenance. (3) Enclosure (3) is an index of tasks by training location, level of training, sustainment, and grade to standard. (4) Enclosure (4) is not applicable to this Marine Corps Order for Chaplains.

By direction DISTRIBUTION: PCN 10201658300 Copy to: 7000110 (55) 7230024 (20) 8145005 (2) 7000144/8145001 (1) 3 ? COMPONENTS OF AN ITS 1. General. ITS's contain six components; task, condition(s), standard, performance steps, reference(s), and administrative instructions. 2. Alphanumeric System. Each ITS is identified by the MOS followed by a series of numbers which identify the Duty Area, and Task. a. The MOS is identified by four Arabic numbers. The four numbers are the ones assigned to the MOS in the MCO P1200.7 (MOS Manual); however, in this instance the identifier will be MCTS, as there is no MOS listed in the MOS Manual for Chaplains. For the Chaplains MOS, the numeric designators would be MCTS.X.X. b. Duty areas are identified by ascending Arabic numerals and are numbered consecutively. The designator for the first duty area under MCTS would be MCTS.1.X. c. Tasks within a duty area are numbered consecutively. The first task under the first duty area of MCTS is numbered MCTS.1.1. The second task under the third duty area MCTS is numbered MCTS.3.2, and so forth. 3. ITS Components a. Task. The task describes what a Marine has to do. It is a clearly stated, performance oriented action requiring a learned skill. Knowledge or enrichment topics which are required for the performance of a specific task are included in the Administrative Instructions. This type of information may very well comprise a separate class with its own TLO/ELO, but is not a separate task. b. Condition(s). The conditions set forth the real world or wartime circumstances in which the tasks are to be performed. This element of an ITS underscores "realism" in training. When resources or safety requirements limit the conditions, this should be stated. It is important to understand that the conditions set forth in this Order are the minimum, and may be adjusted when applicable. c. Standard. A standard is inviolate. It is not guidance, but a very carefully worded statement which sets the proficiency level expected when the task is performed. The standard should summarize the performance steps. d. Performance Steps. There must be at least two performance steps for each task. Performance steps specify actions required to fulfill the proficiency established by the standard. ENCLOSURE (1) 1 ? e. Reference(s). Reference(s) are doctrinal publications which provide the authority vested in the performance steps and references. References should be publications which are readily available. f. Administrative Instructions. Administrative Instructions provide the trainer/instructor with special circumstances relating to the ITS such as safety, real world limitations, and knowledge or enrichment topics which may be a prerequisite to successful accomplishment of the ITS. ENCLOSURE (1) 2 ? ITS MANAGEMENT 1. ITS Use a. ITS's are the basis for all individual training in units and formal schools. Since ITS's are written for every MOS they specify every proficiency Marines are required to achieve as individuals in support of their unit combat missions. b. ITS's provide measures of performance that must be used by unit commanders to both diagnose individual deficiencies and to evaluate training. Deficiencies should be recorded and scheduled on future training plans. ITS's which are mastered should be recorded in individual training records and scheduled for sustainment/refresher training in the future. c. Institution commanders are responsible for providing instruction based on ITS's. These selected ITS's appear as tasks on item number 24 of the Course Descriptive Data. Using the SAT process, institutional commanders formulate programs of instruction (POI) which fulfill the requirements of the operating forces. d. Unit and institution commanders must work in tandem so that individuals continue to receive instruction until mandated proficiencies are achieved. Individual training cannot and should not cease upon graduation from a formal school. Schools do not have the resources (people, time, money) to teach every ITS required for MOS proficiency. Unit commanders must recognize this and continue individual training. When Marines do achieve proficiencies, unit commanders must systematically record these proficiencies and establish periodic sustainment training according to the frequency set forth in enclosure (3). 2. ITS Maintenance a. ITS's exist because of the threat. Changes which occur must be reflected in ITS's as a team effort of the formal schools, the operating forces, and staff agencies at Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps and at the Marine Corps Combat Development Command. Changes in the threat, new weapons/equipment and doctrine will require new or updated training proficiencies. b. ITS's are validated when they are used by institution and unit commanders. Changes can be initiated by units, institutions, or higher headquarters. In order to ensure quality training, ITS's must be updated continuously. Input will be systematically collected, staffed, and incorporated into ITS's at least annually. ENCLOSURE (2) 1 ? c. ITS users should be critical of the ITS's as a whole as they support or fail to support a particular MOS. d. Specific components of an ITS should also be examined for realism and pertinence. e. ITS Management is dynamic. User maintenance is the key to refining proficiencies which best serve unit missions.] ENCLOSURE (2) 2 ? INDEX OF TASKS BY TRAINING LOCATION, LEVEL OF TRAINING, SUSTAINMENT, AND GRADE TO STANDARD 1. This enclosure identifies WHERE ITS's are taught, Training Location; the Level of Training regarding proficiency, "P" for preliminary, not to standard, and "S" for trained to standard; and the lowest grade required to demonstrate proficiency in each ITS. 2. The Training Location is either Formal School (FS) or MOJT. 3. Sustainment training is always the responsibility of the unit commander. The number in the MOJT column represents the number of months between evaluation or retraining to maintain the proficiency required by the standard.
