Increased Training Benefits for Soliders and Units
-
Efficiency
Provides the Army the ability to
leverage technology to increase training efficiency and reduce
costs. Significantly reduces the travel costs inherent in resident
training, by bringing the training to the Soldier, rather than
the Soldier to the training.
-
Flexibility
Increases the flexibility in
scheduling training, since a significant portion of DL courses
can be provided anywhere at anytime.
-
More Time at Home, Less Time Away from the Unit
Since Soldiers are able to take courses in their local DTF, at
home, or in the office, this improves quality of life, morale,
increases the time available for duty and improves unit readiness.
-
Standardized Training
Courses are developed
and often delivered by proponent school instructors, ensuring
that the quality of training is standard across the Army, including
Active, National Guard, and Reserve components.
