(2) Is conducted in a tactical field environment, under all weather conditions, at day and night to replicate the
stress, sounds, and conditions of the modern battlefield.

(3) Is conducted during the final phase of training. During the FTX, Soldiers will undergo a series of events
exposing them to the rigors of duty performance during field operations. The intent of the FTX in AIT/OSUT is to
integrate MOS and Soldier survival skills into a simulated tactical scenario, and give Soldiers the opportunity to
demonstrate their newly learned skills under realistic conditions. Address the FTX in a separate module in the POI.

(4) The length of time for an end-of-cycle FTX is 96 hours (four days). Any deviation from this norm must be
approved through the TRADOC DCG-IMT.

Testing procedures for AIT and the MOS portion of OSUT
>
>
a. Proponents will develop within course tests (end of block/module) for MOS producing courses according to
guidance outlined in TR 350-70. Continuously assess the validity of each task evaluated and its relevance; make
changes as appropriate.
>
>
b. Commanders will ensure Soldiers are tested IAW the Individual Student Assessment Plan (ISAP) for the course
being presented. Guidelines for development of ISAPs are outlined in IAW TR 350-70. The ISAP informs Soldiers,
instructors, and other personnel of the course graduation requirements. Explain the requirements of the ISAP to each
IET Soldier at the beginning of each course and make available to every student for reference.

>
c. Course tests must provide a fair and accurate evaluation of the Soldier's ability to perform the tasks presented to
established standards.
>
>
d. Hands-on, performance-oriented testing is the norm throughout TRADOC. Situational based, written open book
reference tests (when used), must require the Soldier to not only extract data, but also apply the data to specific
situations they are likely to encounter on the job. Use closed book, knowledge-based written tests only if it is
necessary to verify the learner's knowledge as a prerequisite for later performance testing, where the knowledge is
applied (as a building block to later tests). All testing is conducted in an environment that would replicate the
Soldier's duty position in the unit, as far as safety and environmental considerations will allow and IAW test
administration instructions.

>
e. Each test will have at least two versions. Use all versions concurrently.
>
>
f. Tests are monitored by quality control personnel reporting to the brigade or ATC commander, as determined by
the local commander. Certify unit cadre personnel IAW TR 350-70.

g. Score tests on a go or no-go basis. Determine the passing (cutoff) score for making the go or no-go
