TTC Class Instructions

Threat Tactics Course – Readings and Information

• Admin:
  • Number of Soldiers generally less than 30.  20-25 optimal.
  • We usually start at 09.  On Day-1 we prefer to arrive early to set up and ensure there are no issues.  Start and end times can flex as needed for site requirements/PT/etc.
• Classroom:
  • We have found there are fewer issues if the course is not in a secure area.  An Education Center of Digital Training Facility works great. All material and references are unclassified and released to the public. Discussions will be unclassified.
  • Students should have computers – either brought GFE or present in the classroom.  100% not required, but helpful.
  • We use MS Teams for most of the class – references, readings, PEs, etc.  The instructor will add the students on Day-1 to our Team using their army.mil emails. If Soldiers don’t have an army.mil account, they can share with others.
  • Instructor will have GFE laptop, but can use an existing instructor computer, if available.  Projector and speakers are required.
  • Day 1 is mostly Briefing and drills. After that we shift to small group PEs using a combination of PowerPoint and paper maps (See links below to download).  It can be very helpful ito have whiteboards/butcher paper, markers, and tape.
• Students:
  • Uniform is duty uniform.  They can bring whatever references allowed in at the site.  Smart-books, manuals can be helpful, as well as downloading the Student Supplement (Link below).
  • Please ensure all Soldiers have completed the Phase 1 computer-based instruction and the pre-readings (Links below). https://oe.tradoc.army.mil/resources/TTC-Phase1/ 
• Funding: Travel expenses for course MTT personnel use your unit Foundry funds.  MIPRs should be transferred to the TRADOC G2 account.
