Augmentation to the training squadron, administrative... Total augmentation to the training activity... 11 209 150 565 In addition, it is again estimated that the support of the 4,100 students and other personnel requires augmentation identical to that listed for Sheppard or 748 personnel. Total personnel requirements projected for Scott are 565 plus 748 or 1,313. Total personnel requirements projected, adding the total of the two bases is 2,947. Based on the generated student loads, this results in a planning ratio of 1 to 2.76 overhead to trainees. Projected training personnel for the two bases totals 1,451. The remainder are projected in support activities. Based on generated student loads, the ratio of support to trainees and direct training personnel to trainees will be approximately 1 to 5.48 and 1 to 5.65 respectively. The requirements projected for these activities by category of personnel are: This assumes civilians to fill 25 percent of the required military spaces (the present technical training average of civilians to over-all space requirements). NAVY ESTIMATE ON OVERHEAD PERSONNEL FOR UMT The Navy bases its ratio of support to trainee personnel for the NSTC program upon― (a) Experience in the operation of present and past naval shore training facilities. (b) Present authorized personnel allowances for naval vessels. (c) Experience in the operation of present and past rear area support activities, including supply depots, hospitals, district headquarters, bureaus and offices of the Navy Department, field disbursing offices, induction stations, etc. For the most part, the activities in this category will be operating at the time of full implementation of the UMT program. To establish the actual cost of the UMT program a proportionate share of the personnel required to run such activities, with UMT in effect, has been charged to the NSTC program. The numbers of personnel required and their ratio to trainees are as follows: 1 Includes no shipboard training. If such training were included in this computation, the ratio would approximate 1:2.83. 2 Includes doctors, dentists, nurses, hospitalmen, dental technicians, corrective services, chaplains, welfare and recreation at training activities, and supply depots, hospitals, district headquarters, bureaus and offices of the Navy Department, field disbursing offices, induction stations, etc., in the rear area. 748 1: 9.36 2,652 1: 2.64 1 Includes 1,972 officers and 25,721 enlisted in the training squadron who act as instructor, administrative, and maintenance personnel; it is not possible to differentiate between their duties. Includes shipboard training. The present onboard support and trainee load at Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Md., is: Aviation and shipboard training, and support personnel other than at Bainbridge are not included in the above and are therefore not a true comparison with the UMT program. There are some differences between the partial and full implementation ratios. This is because the Navy's plan is predicated on the assumption that the partial program is to be a pilot program; therefore some classes would be running with only a partial student load compared to that attained during full implementation. To present an accurate picture of the personnel involved in the UMT program the complete personnel figures and their ratio to trainees as outlined in paragraph 2 must be given. To give one set of personnel requirements and their ratio to trainees without giving all of them would present an inaccurate and possibly a misleading picture of the requirements for such a program. MARINE CORPS ESTIMATE ON OVERHEAD PERSONNEL FOR UMT The original Marine Corps position stated before the National Security Training Commission placed the Marine Corps trainer-to-trainee ratio at one trainer to three trainees. For uniformity among all services the Marine Corps later agreed to a 1 to 2 ratio. Since the Commission's report questioned this 1 to 2 ratio as being excessive, a thorough study has been made of current ratios at the Marine Corps recruit depots and the training and replacement command. Marine Corps recruit depots operate on a trainer-to-trainee ratio of between 1 to 3 and 1 to 4.2, based on a varying trainee load. The Marine Corps training and replacement" command operates on a ratio of 1 to 3.8, based on a trainee load of 10,760. Administrative and supply personnel are included within the trainer overhead. However, other assistance from the supporting establishment has not been included in these ratios. Therefore, it is believed that the Marine Corps can conduct universal militar training with a training ratio of 1 to 3. Training and replacement command, Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, Oceanside, Calif. Overhead-to-trainee analysis 1. A similar establishment will be utilized to train NSTC trainees for their last 16 weeks of training. 2. Those sections of the training and replacement command which would have no bearing on UMT have been eliminated and are not considered in the below calculations. 1. The same or a very similar establishment will be utilized to train NSTC trainees for their first 10 weeks of training. Onboard training load, 3,750 trainees (2 recruit training battalions): |
