FUTURE TRENDS
DAPS, Attrition & the Demand for Snr NCOs.
The Infantry School expects a substantial increase in the demand for DP3A training in the near future.
“A particular concern for the army is the growing shortage of leadership, specifically in the ranks of tactical level leaders….[today's] changing international security environment with its emphasis on asymmetrical warfare and counter-insurgency, [shows that] current leadership challenges are neither temporary nor limited.” LGen Andrew Leslie, CLS

Assumptions and Methodology
LFSAT was utilised A review of JBS was conducted as a preliminary stage Stakeholder input was (and is being) sought Changes will not be made unless they can be shown to be fully
justified Work to conduct any QS or TP changes will begin after the May 09
CIA Training Must be delivered ‘Just In Time’ A ‘Lean Training’ philosophy was employed
Infantry School École d’infanterie
Criteria for Selection of Options and Required Outputs
The best training solution will deliver: Achieve strategic objectives (NCM PD 2020)
Current and competent soldiers and commanders (trained Just in Time)
Tactical Excellence Outstanding Leadership – Mentorship & Development
A training flow that will match the JBS requirements for each Infantry position: i.e train in time and to need
Resource efficiency for the training system (esp time)

Conclusion
Input now required: Validation of the results of the review Selection of the optimal training sequence Approval for further development
Next Phase of the Project
Presenting these recommendations for approval in principle to AITA, DAT and Comd LFDTS.
Staffing changes to OS, QS, and TPs of DP1, IPSWQ, PLQ-INF, and DP3A. The creation of a generic Field Firing course with an OSS, QS and TP is already staffed at DAT since the rest of the Army requires this training also.
