USMC Concepts & Programs 2013
Unit Training Management (UTM) and
Individual Marine Management (IMM)
Modules
The UTM and IMM modules are the latest MC-
TIMS development efforts designed to directly support
the Operating Force. The UTM module provides commanders
with a toolkit that aligns with the unit training
management process outlined in Marine Corps
Reference Publication 3-0A, the Unit Training Management
Guide. This capability enables commanders
and their staff to execute doctrinal UTM practices via
an automated system. Other capabilities within this
module will allow units to record, track, and evaluate
all unit collective-training requirements.
Additional MCTIMS
Developments to Support
the Marine Corps
Two additional MCTIMS developments fielded
during FY 2011 are the Curriculum Library and the
Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ). The Curriculum Library
provides Marines in the operating forces access to
formal learning center course materials to support training
and standardize instructional materials throughout
the Marine Corps. Marines operating forces will be able
to access lesson plans, student outlines, instructor preparation
guides, and media to support unit training requirements.
The ETJ provides a cradle-to-grave record
of all training accomplishments for all Marines viewable
by the individual Marine or their commander.
Other Formal School
Management Capabilities
The Curriculum Management (CMD) Module.
TECOM and EDCOM staff and schoolhouse curriculum
developers use this web-based application to create
and manage curriculum for Marine Corps formal
schools. The use of this module is mandated for the
production of Marine Corps programs of instruction.
The Student Evaluation (SEV) Module. TECOM
and EDCOM staffs use this web-based application to
construct tests, record test data, track student scores
and grade point averages, and generate reports. The
SEV module controls the synchronization of this data
with the external Question-Mark Perception applications.
Student evaluation is also used to create survey
questionnaires and track student responses.
The Student Management Module. TECOM staff
uses this web-based application to manage rosters,
units, and individual students for Marine Corps formal
schools.
Student Registrar. The Student Registrar Module
is management by the Formal School Training Division,
TECOM. The TECOM and EDCOM staffs use
this web-based application to manage class rosters and
student registrations.
MODELING & SIMULATIONS (M&S)
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
ENABLERS
Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Training
Simulations Division (MTSD), a directorate of the
Training and Education Command (TECOM), has
established a training modeling and simulation community
of interest to facilitate information exchange
and address specific focus areas, such as infantry skills
simulations, staff training environment. MTSD also
addresses simulation system integration, interoperability,
interconnectivity, compatibility, and networking.
Participants in this forum are drawn from across the
Marine Corps and the science and technology community.
With this forum’s input, TECOM has published
the Training and Education Modeling and Simulation
Master Plan. The purpose of the plan is to inform Marines
and other stakeholders of current and future efforts
pertaining to training simulations and to guide the
development and sustainment of effective simulationbased
training in support of the operating forces.
