a. Ramp up training. Focus on repetition of individual tasks which have already been introduced in preparation for
their inclusion of major training events in the future.
>
>
b. Soldier assisted training. Use of Soldiers as trainers in small groups (5-15) to maximize repetition of critical
skills under the supervision of a cadre member. Ideally a cadre member should supervise 3-5 groups of Soldiers.
Soldiers used as trainers should be selected based on demonstrated leadership abilities and competence in the given
task.
>
>
c. Instructor led concurrent training. Instructors (DSs & AIT PSG) should be used for primary instructors when
teaching new tasks or complex tasks in concurrent training. Care should be taken to ensure group size remains small
to keep Soldiers engaged and to allow Soldiers maximum opportunity for hands-on training.

On-the-job-training
>
> On-the-job
training is appropriate for those holdover Soldiers that have completed all POI requirements and are
retained in the unit for administrative purposes. Commanders and trainers must ensure that clearly stated on-the-job
training objectives are being achieved and Soldiers involved are being employed productively in MOS or MOS-related
duties.

After-action reviews (AARs) and sensing sessions
>
> Commanders
will establish a program for conducting formal/informal AARs and sensing sessions for Soldiers and
cadre in an IET environment. The purpose is to provide all levels of command an assessment of the training program
while promoting a culture of critical thinking and problem solving amongst Soldiers.
>

a. An AAR is a professional discussion of an event, focused on performance standards, which enables Soldiers to
discover for themselves what happened, why it happened, and how to sustain strengths and improve on weaknesses. It
is a tool leader and units can use to get maximum benefit from every mission or task. The following link can be used
as a tool to establish and conduct proper AAR procedures in an IET environment:

Cadre will conduct AARs IAW A Leader’s Guide to After Action Reviews (AAR), dated September 2011, after
the completion of a major training event, end of phase, end of cycle, and as directed by the commander. The guide
can be found at http://www.jackson.army.mil/sites/leaderdevelopment/docs/710

(2) AARs should be conducted at the training event for the benefit of the Soldiers. A separate AAR should be
conducted for the benefit of the cadre to assess and evaluate the quality of instruction and execution of the training
