Evaluation None Instructional Lead-In The intent of the RECRUIT SUSTAINMENT PROGRAM (RSP) is to ensure Soldiers successfully complete Basic Combat TRAINING and Advanced Individual TRAINING by introducing newly enlisted ARNG Soldiers to the military environment and to ease their adjustment into that TRAINING . The mission is to prepare non-prior service enlistees, for the physical and mental rigors of initial active duty for TRAINING (IADT); instill the seven Army values in each individual, and verify that RSP Soldiers are mentally, administratively, and physically prepared to meet shipping requirements.

Welcome Brief Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:35 Time of Instruction: 10 mins Media: Slide Presentation NOTE: SHOW Slide 3 (Generic Picture of RSP Soldiers) NOTE: The following verbiage is for the convenience of the instructor, with the purpose to provide welcoming remarks to the new RSP Soldiers and a brief overview of expectations and future drill weekends. Instructors do not have to abide by this scripted welcoming and/or are encouraged to develop their own welcoming remarks that they are comfortable with.

8 NOTE: Welcome to RSP. You are to be applauded for your decision to join the most elite military organization in the world. You are coming to the RECRUIT SUSTAINMENT PROGRAM , or RSP, for one weekend a month for the next several months, until you leave for Basic Combat TRAINING , or BCT. The RSP PROGRAM was created so that, from the very first moment you enter the Army National Guard, you are immediately involved in gaining basic knowledge and skills necessary to get you thinking and acting like a true SOLDIER . It s not uncommon for an RSP SOLDIER to reach BCT with the advantage of having actually done things that are taught in more advanced phases of TRAINING .

9 For instance, you will learn first aid for a bleeding extremity and proper splinting techniques, and how to use a map to determine your location as well as that of an enemy position. These tasks will be repeated in BCT, but you will have had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with them immediately, giving you the advantage at your first military assignment. In addition RSP prepares you for Advanced Individual TRAINING , or AIT. At AIT you will learn your specialized skill to perform in the What we call your Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS. That may be infantry, supply, mechanic, medic, military police, or any number of opportunities the Army National Guard provides.

10 When you finish AIT, you ll be MOS-Qualified, or MOSQ. Don t worry if all these acronyms and terms are a little confusing. You ll pick them up very quickly. For now, just write down these and any other terms you want to remember. As we go through the next two days, we ll also be giving you additional information as well as a Battle Book to help you remember the material we ve gone over. And as I m teaching you this information, if you re unclear about any terms, don t be afraid to speak up and ask for clarification. NOTE: Let the students be aware that apprehension is normal; in fact it s normal to be wary of the unknown.
