RSP Mission: The Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) increases the overall training pipeline success rate by creating a strong foundation of training and developing the Soldier s Warrior Ethos that will set the standard for all Soldiers at Initial Entry training (IET) and Advanced Individual training (AIT).

5 With our TRADOC ARNG LNOs we will resolve any Soldier issues and develop systems to ensure the RSP provides the Basic Combat training site a Soldier that is mentally prepared, administratively correct, and physically fit. 1-2. RSP Leader Guide Vision: The Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) is the Department of Defense s premier Pre-IET soldierization immersion training , utilizing a taking care of Soldiers mentality that continuously strives to improve training , guidance, mentorship and leadership provided to the Army National Guard s newly enlisted Soldiers.

6 The RSP fosters an environment that Soldiers want to refer their friends and family members as potential members of the ARNG team. 1-3. Intent: In the continuing effort to provide tools and resources to RSP Leaders throughout the ARNG, we developed a RSP Leader Guide compiled of information designed to assist both incoming and seasoned leadership as they manage the day to day operations of the RSP. The group that developed this RSP Quick Reference Guide , focused on providing a supplement to the RSP Leader Guide , as a printable resource with information and strategies not found in other publications.

7 LTC John C. Gregory, NGB-AMB Branch Chief 2 Automation 2-1. Vulcan Database: A web based tool that tracks recruit training and pre-ship critical tasks. It provides visibility on the current status of recruit preparation and provides alerts to the RRF and unit leadership when recruits are at risk of becoming a pre-ship training pipeline loss or lack critical IADT skill training based upon the top five reasons for ARNG training pipeline losses. Soldiers are tracked from time of enlistment until MOSQ and Battle Hand-Off to their permanent unit.

8 The Vulcan database receives periodic updates from TAPDB-G, REQUEST, ATRRS, and DFAS. See NGR 601-2, Chapter 5, paragraph 5-11. 2-2. DPRO: A web-based analysis tool that provides a snapshot of each State or unit s strength posture. DPRO data is independent from the Vulcan database and can be accessed using an AKO login and password. 2-3. iMARC-Live: This is the primary system used to manage bonuses and education benefits to include GI Bill, GI Bill Kicker, Selected Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP), Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP), Health Professional Loan Repayment (HPLR), Chaplain Loan Repayment Program (CLRP), and Tuition Assistance.

Recruit Quota Enlistment System (REQUEST): REQUEST provides a real-time capability to reserve training seats by MOS and time period. Select personnel at the RSP may have access to REQUEST either as read-only or write capability. NOTE: It is imperative that someone on the RSP staff have access to this database.

10 2-5. Guidance Counselor Redesign (GCR): GCR is a web-based application used to process applicants for enlistment. GCR is the final application within ARISS to support the enlistment process.
