(SERIES)
1. Purpose: This message announces the release of the FY13 ITP
Reporting Tool and provides guidance for the standardized use of the
ITP for all Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel. The ITP Reporting
Tool is designed to help members and their supervisors develop a
3-year training plan that leads to competency attainment and
professional development. Proper use of the ITP will result in a more
equitable utilization of reserve training quotas and provide
documented justification for future reserve training requirements and
funding.
2. Training Priorities: Members and their supervisors shall review
both Personnel Allowance List (PAL) and unit assigned competencies to
develop a 3-year ITP which shall be in accordance with refs (A)-(E).
Reserve training and augmentation shall result in skills that are
essential for worldwide mobilization readiness and are likely to be
performed during Contingency and surge operations. Reserve members
shall devote a majority of their efforts to achieve the competency(s)
assigned to their PAL position and either their Rating Performance
Qualifications (RPQ) or Officer Specialty Code (OSC). Members in
positions that do not have a competency/OSC assigned shall train and
perform tasks that will develop skills essential for Contingency and
surge operations.
3. Financial Considerations: additional training funds (e.g. OTD,
ADOS) for FY13-15 will be limited. All efforts should be made to use
ADT-AT or IDT drills to complete required training prior to
requesting additional funding. However, members should not be
discouraged from requesting training beyond their 12 days of ADT-AT.
4. Submission Requirements For Units With SELRES Members Assigned:
each unit shall designate a POC to coordinate and submit the ITP IAW
the ITP USER GUIDE. Parent commands shall ensure subordinate units
comply with this guidance. Submission deadlines are:
     A. Units (OPFACS): NLT 02 July 2012.
     B. Sectors/DOL-31: NLT 09 July 2012.
     C. Districts/DOG(DG-13): NLT 13 August 2012.
     D. DOL-31: NLT 09 July 2012
     E. Areas (AREA-51): NLT 27 August 2012.
5. Individual Development Plan (IDP) Requirements: members approved
FY13 ITP submission may be used to satisfy the requirement for
enlisted SELRES members to complete tab 8 of the IDP.
