How to Implement Reto (a Review of Education and Training for Officers) at Usacgsc

By William B. Mack

The purpose of this paper is to recommend a method to implement RETO. This method entails an Army managed, contractor assisted, application of Instructional System Development concepts and principles to solve the problem of curriculum management. The paper includes a detailed Statement of Work which specifies the contractor deliverable items by phase. The Statement of Work is a stand-alone document which can be extracted from this paper and used as necessary by Army program managers. The paper recommends contractor assistance rather than an in-house effort because: (1) While the necessary array of resources required by this effort exists within the Army, it is doubtful that the Army could or would commit those resources to this system in the required quantity and quality at the right time; (2) A contractor provides continuity, flexibility, and credibility; (3) Since certain system components are purchased, there is a reduced likelihood that the system would be subverted through whimsical decisions, intuition, or trial and error.
