distinguish between IET Soldiers, cadre, and permanent party personnel. >           >           >           >           >           >           >         4-10. New start program >           >            a. IET Soldiers who consistently demonstrate deficiencies in Army values and discipline may be considered for restart based on the company commander’s recommendation and battalion commander’s approval.  These reassignments, made under the new start program, are intended to give Soldiers an additional opportunity to meet the Army values standards, and become a productive Soldier.  >           >            b. IET Soldiers who demonstrate deficiencies in achieving task standards consistent with their time in training, but maintain the motivation to do so, are considered for reassignment to another company or battalion.  Make reassignment to a company in a later cycle or into succeeding class where the Soldier has the opportunity to repeat the phase of training.  These reassignments, made under the new start program, are intended to give motivated Soldiers an additional opportunity to meet the skill standards, and become a productive Soldier in the Army.  The success of the new start program is a direct function of the manner in which the Soldier is integrated into the new unit. >           >            c. IET Soldiers that have missed training due to emergency leave or hospitalization, and not able to complete training with their current unit, are considered for reassignment to a company in the appropriate week of training. >           >            d. Reassign IET Soldiers under the new start program at any point in the training cycle, based upon the recommendation of the chain of command, and approval of the battalion commander.  Following the approval to reassign the Soldier under the new start program, move the Soldier to the new company or battalion for further training NLT the following duty day. >            >              e. Commanders will not remove Soldiers being considered for the new start program from training until the decision is made.  Do not use IET Soldiers as detail Soldiers during the new start process.  The goal is to get the Soldiers back into training within one day of the restart decision.  While there are case-by-case exceptions, the decision during IET is authorized as follows: >           >              f. USAR/ARNG new start Soldiers must be coordinated through TRADOC RCLNO and the LNO must notify the Soldier’s home unit. >           >                   (1)  When a Soldier's performance is unsatisfactory in a certain area, give the Soldier intensive remedial training and retesting in that area.  If performance remains unsatisfactory after remedial training and retesting, reassign the Soldier to another company or battalion in a follow-on cycle. >
