Time, Remarks — Munitions expended, observed damage (number of tanks destroyed, number still active, and recommendation), mission number, and mission accomplished (SUCCESSFUL, UNSUCCESSFUL or UNKNOWN). Reference: JP 3- 09.3 (pg. V-44-45). Review and Assessment YES NO Items to be reviewed and assessed by JTAC standardization Team Discrepancies / Comments C. Simulations Are simulation devices incorporated into the course? D. Live Events Does the range complex support JTAC training? Does the course have sufficient Day sorties? Does the course have sufficient Night sorties? Does the course have sufficient indirect fires? E. Equipment Does the JTAC equipment match the equipment used by the students gaining command? Is the JTAC equipment in sufficient quantity to support student training? F. Safety Does the course maintain a safe student to instructor ratio? Does the course conduct a range safety brief prior to conducting Live Fire training? Does the course conduct a LASER safety brief prior to conducting Live Fire training? Are students supervised by qualified JTAC instructors during Live terminal attack control? Final Day JTAC standardization team produces a “quick look report” of the assessment and provides a copy along with a verbal out-brief to the school’s Commanding Officer or Director Assessment Timeline Date Due DateComplete Task Comments NLT 30 days after review JS J6 DDC2I JFD takes the teams’ “quick look”, notes, comments, and data from the assessment visit and produces a consolidated and “vetted” JTAC standardization team report. This report will be staffed with all team members for concurrence and sent to the assessed unit. Next JFS ESC JS J6 DDC2I JFD provides JFS ESC a summary of recent reviews. Ongoing JS J6 DDC2I JFD JCAS POC maintains record of schoolhouse review and assessment reports.
