e. Are contractor services available in-country?

f. Should contractor maintenance, technical assistance field teams
(TAFTs), or technical assistance teams (TATs) be considered?
Step 3. Training plan preparation.
a. What are the total skill requirements to support steps 1 and 2 and the
density of each skill? Total requirement less number available in-country
equals training requirements. Training requirements can generally be best
satisfied by training a cadre, which will in turn accomplish the
majority of the required training in-country.
b. Has the country expressed its intended approach to training? If not,
try to obtain this information. For example, does the customer want the
training to be conducted in CONUS, in-country, or a combination; does the
customer object to contractor training?
c. What is the current in-country training capability to produce the
needed skills?
d. Can in-country training be upgraded to support the new equipment? If
so, what is required?
e. What is the in-country English language training capability?
f. What is the availability of English-speaking personnel? Do these
people have the necessary technical or educational background?
g. Where can the required skills best be developed, in-country or in
CONUS? If U.S. training is desired, first consideration should be CONUS cadre
training which will provide best quality training in a formal classroom
environment.
h. What specialized facilities (for example, ranges, structures,
airfields, and port facilities) will be required in-country?
i. What is the availability of qualified interpreters and translators?
j. Are there constraints on CONUS training?
k. Should contractor training be considered from in-country or CONUS
source?
l. Is an in-country training requirements or predeployment team required?
Step 4. Refinement of concept requirements.
a. Have all requirements been considered? These requirements include--
(1) Major end items.
(2) Support items and ammunition to include training ammunition.
(3) Tool sets, tool kits, shop sets.
(4) Publications.
(5) Repair parts and services.
(6) Training aids and devices. (Lead time frequently exceeds
equipment delivery schedules.)
(7) Ranges, classrooms, airfield, port facilities.
(8) Maintenance facilities and warehouses.
(9) Support of U.S. personnel.
b. Will equipment list support--
(1) Organization being developed?
(2) Maintenance and support capability being developed?
(3) Initial and subsequent training?
c. Are training plan and equipment delivery dates compatible?
d. Is a survey required?
