The following courses are MANPRINT-specific, sponsored by the Directorate for Personnel Technologies (PERTEC), Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER) and offered by the U.S. Army Logistics Management College (ALMC).

This course is designed for military, civilian, and Defense contract personnel in organizations with MANPRINT responsibilities. Such individuals should be involved in either the identification or resolution of issues, goals, constraints, and concerns of manpower, personnel, training, human factors engineering, health hazards, system safety, and soldier survivability in the acquisition of military equipment, weapons, and systems.

The MANPRINT Action Officers Course was revised in October 1998 and provides an overview of the MANPRINT program and how it relates to the acquisition process. The course now consists of four modules: Program Overview; MANPRINT and Integrated Concept Teams (ICTs); MANPRINT and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs); and MANPRINT and Test and Evaluation (T&E). Embedding MANPRINT in requirements documents and subsequent crosswalking and tracking of issues are fully addressed. A review of the contracting process and the incorporation of MANPRINT requirements into contractual documents is also addressed. Additional information, to include scheduled course dates, can be found on the MANPRINT Web Page at www.manprint.army.mil/manprint/training/training.html.

Tailored MANPRINT Training is a course from 2 to 4 days in length with a focus on customer needs. Applications are offered on a scheduled basis, but can also be provided by special request. This tailorable course focuses on such issues as: how MANPRINT applies during the system life cycle; how the MANPRINT process can influence hardware/software design and development; MANPRINT domains, MANPRINT in the ICT, IPT and/or T & E. Additional course information, to include scheduled course dates, can be found on the MANPRINT Webpage at www.manprint.army.mil/manprint/training/training.html. The ALMC instructors will help you decide which blocks would be best for your organization. An example of tailored training would be:

Personnel in DCD and DOTD at a TRADOC Center and School receive MANPRINT Program Overview and MANPRINT and ICTs.

NOTE: Personnel who attended MANPRINT training prior to October 1998 are encouraged to attend the tailored training as it provides critical revised information about MANPRINT.

The following courses, offered by the U.S. Army Logistics Management College, contain MANPRINT-related blocks of instruction.

LEDC serves as the Army's senior logistics course designed to prepare civilian and military managers for key executive positions within the Army and DoD logistic systems.

This course provides an overview of the Army logistics system. The life-cycle management model is the common thread of the course and is used to highlight the more significant considerations of RDTE, distribution, contracting, inventory management, maintenance, and disposal of Army materiel.

This course is designed to provide a broad spectrum of knowledge pertaining to the materiel acquisition process. It covers national policies and objectives that shape the acquisition process and the implementation of these policies and objectives by the U.S. Army.

This course is designed for acquisition logistics managers and their supervisors. The course provides a hands-on approach for building acquisition logistics skills. The overall goal of the course is to ensure the students have attained the course learning objectives and can function as Level II acquisition logisticians in the DoD.

The curriculum concentrates on manpower and force management functions. The subject areas covered during the manpower blocks of instruction are tailored to the manpower and management functions described in AR 570-4. These functions address the fundamental aspects of planning and programming, requirements, determination, standards and guidance, documentation, allocation, and analysis and evaluation.

 This course introduces the processes used to achieve desired joint, and Army warfighting capabilities needed for the 21st Century. These processes focus on determining, documenting, and processing warfighting concepts, future operational capabilities, and doctrine, training, leader development, organization, materiel and soldiers (DTLOMS) requirements. Students also gain familiarity with various TRADOC and other acquisition organizations they will interact with during their assignment as combat developers.
