UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 081342Z SEP 15 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 213/15 MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/SEP// SUBJ/FY-16 GENERAL MILITARY TRAINING SCHEDULE// REF/A/DOC/OPNAV/YYMMMDD// AMPN/REF A IS OPNAVINST 1500.22H, GENERAL MILITARY TRAINING PROGRAM// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces a significant change to the General Military Training (GMT) program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, and should be read in its entirety. In May of this year, Secretary Mabus announced that he would be ending GMT as we know it. In response, we greatly reduced the standardized annual requirements for FY-16 GMT and completely redesigned the GMT program framework to empower local leadership to tailor many training topics to the needs of their Sailors. This new program framework differentiates between those training lessons that require standardized annual delivery to all uniformed personnel, and those that allow more flexible delivery. Reference (a) provides more information. 2. The first component in this new framework is Standardized Core Training (SCT). It is limited primarily to those topics which are mandated by higher authority for annual delivery to all uniformed personnel. A few support topics are retained as annual requirements due to their direct ties to other annual training requirements. These lessons will be delivered using standardized training materials. A portion will require face-to-face delivery while the rest will allow completion by each individual. 3. The second component has been named Navy Command-Assigned Readiness- Enhancement (CARE) training. This is a flexible, locally-run training program, operating within a minimal framework, which ensures coverage of key topics to enhance individual and command readiness. It allows multiple options for topic delivery, including Navy-wide directed training (e.g., Bystander Intervention to the Fleet), use of locally-generated or standardized products, and multiple training venues (e.g., Safety Stand- downs, Command Indoc, ISIC Workshops, etc.). Navy CARE training will allow command triads to prioritize and customize training delivery and is further divided into two sub-components. A portion of the training is tied to the platforms deployment cycle with a minimal biennial completion requirement. This allows commands to tailor the delivery schedule to coincide with periods where it may be most impactful and relevant. The remainder of the topics in the Navy CARE portion of GMT allow for complete command discretion in determining when the training is necessary, the most effective training delivery method, the training content to be used, and the required audience. Standardized training products will remain available and accessible on the GMT Web page for those commands desiring to use them. 4. The following lessons are included in the SCT program and are mandatory for FY-16: a. These topics require face-to-face, instructor led sessions provided at the command level. Commands must utilize senior leadership to deliver this training. Commands are encouraged to leverage local subject matter experts and collateral duty officers to compliment the standardized training content: (1) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Awareness (a) Department of Defense (DoD) has directed that commands deliver Sexual Harassment training, when practicable, at the same time as SAPR training. (b) To support this directive, commands should plan to deliver the Equal Opportunity/Sexual Harassment/Grievance Procedures (EO/SH) training in conjunction with SAPR. (c) If coincident delivery is not practicable, separate EO/SH training delivery is still required under this category. (2) Suicide Prevention b. These topics are also required for FY-16, utilizing standardized training products. They may be completed face-to-face (where an available lesson format supports) or through individual completion of the courses listed on the GMT Web page: (1) Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) General Awareness (2) Antiterrorism Level I Awareness (3) Cyber Security Awareness (4) Counterintelligence Awareness and Reporting (5) Operations Security (6) Privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (7) Records Management 5. The following lessons are part of the Navy CARE training program for FY-16: a. This list of topics must be delivered once per deployment cycle and may utilize locally-developed training resources or standardized content as desired. For those commands in which a deployment cycle is either not applicable or would exceed two years between deployments, these topics must be delivered once every two years (biennially): (1) Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco Awareness (2) Stress Management (3) Domestic Violence Prevention and Reporting (4) Sexual Health and Responsibility b. This list of topics should be delivered to the appropriate audience at an appropriate periodicity as determined by the command triad. Delivery may include locally-generated content or utilize standardized products as desired. There is no minimum periodicity associated with these topics, but commands are encouraged to exercise this flexibility to ensure the right people receive training as necessary: (1) Physical Readiness (2) Hazing Policy and Prevention (3) Personal Financial Management (4) Operational Risk Management (5) Energy Policy 6. Taken as a whole, this new approach results in more than a 40 percent reduction in the yearly mandatory GMT delivery requirements. We continue to work with DoD and Secretary of the Navy to update relevant instructions, pursue additional consolidation, and provide more effective and efficient training options. One such initiative is the creation of mobile applications that may be loaded onto personal electronic devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, etc.) and used to complete certain GMT lessons at a more convenient time. We expect the first mobile apps to become available later this year and will provide download information via the GMT Web page. 7. The Navy’s official GMT Web page remains the best resource for information related to the GMT program. It is updated regularly and remains the primary resource for any changes to related training requirements or revised training availability. To access this web page, go to Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) at https://www.nko.navy.mil. Once logged into NKO, select the GMT option under the Personal Development menu item to access the Navys GMT page. 8. Individually-completed web-based training is automatically recorded and tracked in the individuals electronic training jacket. Command-delivered training completion is recorded in the Fleet Management and Planning System (FLTMPS) via the learning event completion form. Detailed instructions are available online at https://ntmpsweb.ncdc.navy.mil/fltmps, by contacting the support office at (866-438-2898), and posted on the NKO GMT page. Send questions or feedback via e-mail to gmt.distribution(at)navy.mil. 9. This NAVADMIN is canceled for record purposes on 30 September 2016. 10. Released by Vice Admiral W. F.
