Commander's Aircrew Training Program for Individual, Crew, and Collective Training (TC 3-04.11) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479372416)

Currently, Aviation Soldiers are supporting an Army that is serving a nation at war. Despite some unique challenges, Aviation Soldiers and their units have performed splendidly, often in strange and difficult environments. They operate at high altitudes, in dust, and in adverse weather. They fight against an adaptive and relatively unknown adversary. Every indication is that this operating environment is part of a continuous global conflict. Army Aviation units continuously demonstrate the necessity for combined arms operations through the dominance of air maneuver in support of ground forces. This dominance generates decisive combat power in the present force and will continue to be a key component of Army operations for the foreseeable future. The Army's leadership completed a holistic review of Army Aviation and its role on the joint battlefield in 2003. Changes were made, and will continue to adapt, across the spectrum of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Education, Personnel, and Facilities to optimize Army Aviation's role in warfighting. Leaders and trainers at institutional and unit levels will focus on the future, while effectively leading and managing battle-focused training. Training for warfighting is our first priority during peace and war. Warfighting readiness is derived from tactical and technical competence and confidence in individual and unit skills. Competence relates to the ability to fight our doctrine through tactical and technical execution. Confidence is the individual and collective belief that we can do all things better than our adversary. This TC is the keystone publication for the Army ATM series of publications and establishes the requirements for a unit ATP. Based on the battle-focused training principles outlined in FM 7-0 and the Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS), this TC will help commanders at all levels develop, manage, and administer a comprehensive ATP. The ATP is an assembly of training requirements organized to fulfill the broad, overall training goals of aviation commanders supervising rated, nonrated, and noncrewmember Soldiers on their staff. Rated crewmembers are defined in AR 600-105; nonrated crewmembers and noncrewmembers are defined in AR 600-106. This TC eliminates FAC 3 authorizations in modification table of organization and equipment battalions and below for RCMs and prescribes the responsibilities of those tasked with implementing individual, crew, and collective training. While acknowledging the required involvement of commanders during all phases of training and evaluation; it emphasizes proficiency and PC requirements for all aviators but particularly company commanders, tracked aviation warrant officers, and junior officers. As stated in AR 95-1, the ATP will be in accordance with this TC and the appropriate ATMs. If a conflict exists between this publication and the individual aircraft ATMs, this publication takes precedence. As applicable, all personnel are reminded to refer to other applicable regulations, supplements, circulars, and so forth for guidance designed specifically for a particular unit, region, or service. As appropriate, all personnel are reminded to further refer to appropriate Army command supplements to regulations, circulars, and manuals. This TC applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.
