SUBJ: FY-13 SUPPLEMENTAL LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SCHOOL (LAMS)
EXPORTABLE TRAINING SOLICITATION
A. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SCHOOL (LAMS), COMDTINST 1510.3 (SERIES)
1. The Leadership Development Center (LDC) is soliciting requests
from units interested in hosting the five-day, ACE-accredited
Leadership and Management School (LAMS) on-site exportable training
for FY-13. Host units should be a Sector-level command or a unit with
50 or more personnel and must comply with all requirements contained
in REF A. Units desiring to host a LAMS class that do not meet these
requirements must seek approval from COMDT (CG-133) via Ms. Juli
Petruzzelli (juli.r.petruzzelli(at)uscg.mil).
2. To host a LAMS class, units must identify 18 to 24 local students
from the target audience group noted in subparagraph (a) below. Other
eligible students outside of the target audience group will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. LAMS funding has been condensed,
therefore "cost" orders for exportable classes have been reduced.
Rosters for exportable class are managed by host unit Point of
Contact (POC). Members must contact host unit POC before submitting
an Electronic Training Request (ETR) and should only request an
exportable class within their local region. If there are no courses
scheduled for the region, target audience members may submit an ETR
for a resident class. Resident courses are available at TRACEN
Yorktown, TRACEN Petaluma, or the Coast Guard Academy. Resident class
rosters are managed at the Training Quota Management Center (TQC).
   a. Target audience groups for LAMS are E-5, GS 9-11, O-1, O-2, and
E-6. LAMS is a requirement for all E-5s, both active and reserve, to
advance to E-6. These members shall have priority seating in the
class before any other eligible students. It is highly recommended
that O-1s and O-2s attend this course regardless of accession level
LAMS training. Units shall use the Coast Guard Business Intelligence
(CGBI) Leadership and Management School cube to identify all target
audience members in the local area who have not yet completed this
training.
   b. Other eligible students include: CG NAF employees (all), CG
Work-Life staff (all), CG Aux personnel (FC, VFC, and FSO), and other
federal or state agency employees in positions of leadership.
3. Requests for training: Units that meet the above criteria and are
interested in hosting a LAMS course during FY-13 should send an email
request by COB 31Jan2013 to Ms. Juli Petruzzelli by email at
juli.r.petruzzelli(at)uscg.mil.
   a. Requests must include an Active Duty or Civilian point of
contact name and phone number, the CGBI report showing the target
audience members without LAMS completion and three proposed weeks
when the unit can host a LAMS class, listed in order of preference.
Requesting units shall ensure there are no major command functions
scheduled during these proposed weeks that would interrupt the course
(e.g. all hands training, retirements, changes of command, VIP
visits, etc).
   b. Units selected to host LAMS exportable training will be
notified
by email to the POC listed on the request.
4. The FY-13 LAMS schedule is available on the TQC website at:
http://www.uscg.mil/hq/tqc/ under Class schedules, C school
schedules, Leadership/Management, 340720 - Leadership and Management
School. LAMS host unit checklists are located on the LDC website at:
http://www.uscga.edu/subsites/ldccourses.aspx?id(equal)2743 and must
be completed by the unit POC prior to the training.
5. Only AFC-56 funds on TQC-generated orders shall be used for LAMS
C-school training. Units shall not use AFC-30 funds to send members
to C-schools. Units hosting exportable classes must work with the
lead LAMS instructor to obtain orders for students requiring cost
orders.
6. This message is for unit planning and scheduling purposes. Host
unit and POC preparation is crucial to obtaining the desired outcome
of the LAMS learning experience. Units that cannot support, schedule,
or participate in LAMS exportable training at nearby units are
encouraged to request quotas for their members through TQC via ETR
for resident courses only.  ETRs for exportable classes shall only be
submitted by the host unit after the class roster is developed as per
reference (a).
