COURSE SCOPE:
The training curriculum for the MOWO Basic Course is centered on preparing graduates to
perform critical deployment tasks at the Joint, Theater, Corps, Division, and Brigade-levels. The
course begins with an in depth look at the Defense Transportation System and current
Department of Defense (DoD) policies and standards governing force projection in a Joint
environment. As MOWOs progress through the course, they go from understanding the
overarching planning and execution principles, to building their individual and collective technical
expertise, culminating in an intense and comprehensive collective exercise that places them in
challenging and realistic roles at various levels in the deployment system.
SPECIAL INFORMATION:
ENVIRONMENTAL: AR 200-1 delineates TRADOC responsibilities to integrate environmental
requirements across DTLOMPF and ensure all training procedures, training manuals, and training
doctrine include sound environmental practices and considerations. The Army's environmental
vision is to be a national leader in environmental and natural resource stewardship for present
and future generations as an integral part of all Army missions. This instruction meets this
standard.
SAFETY: Accidents are an unacceptable impediment to Army missions, readiness, morale, and
resources. Decision makers at every level will employ risk management approaches to effectively
preclude unacceptable risk to the safety of personnel and property affiliated with this course.
CONTEMPORARY OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: The learning objectives in Army training must
comply with current Joint, Army, and Branch doctrine regarding the Contemporary Operational
Environment (COE) and Opposing Force (OPFOR) scenarios. This instruction (POI) addresses
this principle and incorporates current doctrine and lessons learned at the appropriate level,
divesting of obsolescence, and implementing full spectrum operations in the COE in classrooms
and training exercises.
MEDICAL SUPPORT TO TRAINING. Installation commanders and school commandants will
assess and certify the adequacy of medical support to training at least annually. This
responsibility is not delegable. Installation commanders and school commandants conducting
high risk training shall rehearse their medical support (casualty response, evacuation, and
treatment) plan at least annually, focused on responding to a training catastrophe. This instruction
complies with the intent of the Army's Medical Support to Training policy.
