Courses, procedures, and reviewing agencies are indicated below: ([) Paragraphs a(1), (2), (4), and (5) above. States will forward medical records to the Aeromedica! Center, Fort Rucker, AL for determination and return to the State. A copy of the approved medical eramination will he forwarded to NGB-ARO-M with the app!icant's NGB Form 64. (2) Paragraphs a(6), (7), (9), and (i0) above. Medical records will he forwarded to NGB-~AO-E with the applicant's NGB Form 64. NGB-~AO-E will forward the applicant's medical records to either the host school or NGB-ARS for determination and return to NGB-~O-E. As an erception, States authorized to conduct any of these courses as IRTS will he responsible for determining the applicant's medical fitness and qualification to attend the course. ~#plicant's medical records will be forwarded to the host State in order to accomplish this action.

The State will amend original orders to reflect that the training period is extended in order for the student to receive additional training; e.g,, "Additional period of instruction authorized", and indicate the amended close date of the ertended period of instruction. ~ Personnel attending training in a PCS status who are released from the course prior to the 20th week do not change status based on early release. e.

Chapter 3 Warrant Officer 3-1. Education

General a. The purpose of the Warrant Officer Training System (WOTS) is to establish and provide training at the appropriate time to develop warrant officers that are technically and tactically competent for positions in which they ser~e. h WOTS is a three-level system incorporating entry, advanced, and master level training. Career development is based on progression through the levels with functional training opportunities provided as needed. Entry level training m The purpose of entry level training is to( I ) Qualify selected ARNG personnel to be appointed as warrant officers in the ARNG and in the Reserve of the Ahoy. (2) Equip candidates with skills and knowledge needed for successful performance in their specialties. h Entry level training incorporates the check three system. (I) Check one is the selection process centralized at the State level. Determination of eligibility, selection and boarding is accomplished during check one in accordance with National Guard Regulation 600-101. (2) Check two is the Warrant Officer Entry Course as described in paragraphs 3-3 and 3-4 below. (3) Check three is the Warrant Officer Technical Certification Courses as described in paragraph 3-5 below. ~ Types of programs that provide training which enable ~/hNG personnel to meet minimum military education requirements for a warrant officer candidate in the ARNG are as follows: (1) Warrant Officer Entry Course (2) Warrant Officer Entry Course - Reserve component (WOEC-RC). (3) Warrant Officer Technical Certification Courses (WOTCC). 3-2.

3-3. Warrant Officer Entrl~ Course (check two) ~ The WOEC is taught at three location: Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and Fort Rucker, ~_Iba~. Course length is 6 weeks, 4 days. WOEC is "check two" of the entry level training check three system. b. Resident attendance at one of the schools listed in paragraph a above is the preferred method of training ~G warrant officer candidates (WOC) for appointment. ¢. WOEC is an MOS immaterial basic skills course which provides standardized training and evaluation to all WCC. This training is taught in a high-stress environment where candidates are evaluated by TAC (teach, advise, counsel) officers. Candidates are also evaluated by performance oriented (hands-on) and written eraminations. d Eligibility, prerequisites and other pertinent information is contained in NGR 600-101. 3-4. Warrant Officer Entry Course Reserve Cc~sponent (check two) m WOEC-RC is designed for AP~G WCC who are limited by time constraints from attending WOEC. The course will be conducted at training sites as determined h The WOEC-RC consists of 135 hours of correspondence courses (Phase I) which must be completed within one year followed by 134 hours of resident training (Phase [[) to validate the ACCP. Phase must be completed before applying for/ entering Phase ~ Course scope is the same as described in paragraph 3-3c above. d Eligibility, prerequisites and other pertinent information is contained in NGR 600-I01. 3-5. Warrant Officer Technical Certification Courses (WOTCC) (check tb_ree) WOTCC responsibilities and authority for ARNG WGC are erclusively assigned to the MOS personnel proponents identified in AR 600-3. Before appointment, WOC will be technically certified by one of the following methods. 3-I

(I) Successful completion eristing resident entry level technical certification courses. (2) Technical certification testing using eristing entry level functional eraminations. (3) Periodic technical certification boards convened under the authority of the MOS proponent and conducted at the proponent school. b. Additional information is contained in T~ADOC Reg 351-13. 3-6. Wma'ant OfFicer Professional Developgent Training for warrant officers above the entry level is designed to develop individuals to their ma×imum potential. The two training levels involved are advanced level training and master level training. a. P/vance level training is accc~aplished By mandatory attendance at warrant officer advanced courses ~.

~Jvanced level training must he completed between 3 and 9 years of warrant officer service. The aim of WOAC is to refresh common skills and leadership, update technical and tactical training to keep pace with doctrinal changes, and provide additional training as determined by the proponent branch based on future requirements. h Master warrant officer training (MWOT) is the highest level of ndlitary training available to the warrant officers. M%~OI is required to prepare warrant officers assigned to b~0 positions for the erpected role of systems integrator, trainer, manager, and developer. M-JOT will consist of the appropriate master warrant officer course (b~OC) followed by additional master level functional training modules for specific assigmments. ~, For a detailed outline of warrant officer training on an ~K~ basis, refer to NGR 600-101.

Types of training that support the NCOES-(i) Resident training taught NCO academy/service schools. (2) Nonresident training that may be developed by service schools to support individuals training in ~units. (3) On-the-job erperience (OJE) and supervised on-the-job training (SO]T) that may be used to sustain NCO training in units if organized around tasks, conditions, and standards stated in the SM and TG. (4) ACCP developed for individual study/self-improvement. Correspondence courses will not he substituted for training available in resident me des. c. The active component noncommissioned officer education system (ACNCOES) provides leader and MOS skill training in an integrated system of resident and nonresident training at the levels in table 4-I.

NGR ~51-3 is applicable to all State military academies (SMA) and NGB regional NCO schools conducting RCNCOES courses. c, The RCNCOES provides career development instruction to actual and potential NCOs of the k~NG. The RCNCOES is as follows: (i) Reserve component primary leadership development course RCPLDC is a non-M~S specific program of instruction designed to train sergeants and prospective sergeants in leadership, NCO responsibility, training subjects, and battlefield survival skills. RCPLDC is designed to be taught in a small group environment. This method allows all students, fast or slow, to he engaged continuously in the process of receiving or giving feedback regarding course materials, personal erperiences, or fellow student performance. This process also fosters team building, and provides training reinforcement based on s wide range of backgrounds and professional erperiences including combat arms, combat support, and combat service support. The course requires students to demonstrate proficiency by performing tasks required to train and lead their subordinates. %~(2) RCBNCOC. RCBNCOC is a two phase course. Phase I consists of 47 hours of common leader training that builds on the leader/trainer skills taught in RCPLDS. The common leader portion of RCBNCOC was developed by the U.S. .4~9~ Sergeants Major Academy and approved by HQ T~%DOC. Phase ~I of
