Military Carbine Trainer Course

Similar to but shorter than MSAIC, MCTC is a purpose-built training and education program designed to provide commanders with expert trainers in their NCO ranks. It uses different modes and domains of learning, strategies pulling from multiple adult learning theories, and is nested with the Army Learning Concept and Army Learning Model. MCTC produces rifle/carbine trainers but is not solely designed to build organizational skill at arms. The course structure develops competencies that are easily transferrable to any skill the NCO needs to teach his or her subordinates, using the familiar and core task of weapons proficiency as a vehicle. MCTC is nested with current Army doctrine, with the culmination exercise fully supported by allocations set in Standards in Training Commission (STRAC), DA PAM 350-38.
