The Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) is the Department of the Army Management
Information System of Record for managing student input to training. The on-line system integrates manpower
requirements for individual training with the processes by which the training base is resourced and training
programs are executed. This automation support tool establishes training requirements, determines training
programs, manages class schedules, allocates class quotas, makes seat reservations, and records student
attendance. It supports numerous Department of the Army processes which include the Structure Manning Decision
Review (SMDR). The product of the SMDR is the Army Program for Individual Training (ARPRINT), the mission and
resourcing document for the training base.
ATRRS supports the Training Requirements Division of the Office of the Army G-1 in its Army-wide mission to integrate
all phases of input to training management, during peacetime and mobilization. The system supports the
planning, programming, budgeting, and program execution phases of the training process and is utilized by the
agencies responsible for those phases.
ATRRS is the central authoritative source for all data and statistics that impact total Army input to training.
ATRRS provides critical support for these three primary objectives:
- Centralization of training requirements and resources data
- Management of input to training
- Evaluation of program execution
ATRRS stores important training information for the U.S. Army, which includes:
Course Information:
ATRRS maintains a database of course information on virtually every course that is taught by or for
Army personnel at military and DoD training institutions. The database includes training requirements, training programs,
and course administrative data that is maintained on a daily basis in ATRRS by the agencies responsible. ATRRS
is the information source for course scope and prerequisite data published in DA PAM 351-4, the U.S. Army Formal
Schools Catalog.
Class Schedules:
Class Schedules are developed and entered into ATRRS by each school based on the approved training program
for a specific year.
Quota Management:
The training program for each agency is distributed by class so that the component knows how many quotas they must
fill in each class. If components do not fill their seats by a predetermined date prior to the class start date,
quotas are available for fill by any component. In order to better utilize seats, components may make trades online.
ATRRS Automated Training Application System:
An automated application for training is entered and processed through ATRRS to make by-name and SSN
reservations for training seats.
Student Information:
Student personal and class status information is maintained in an individual file that is kept for historical
purposes. The file is available for course utilization and attrition statistics.
Input to Training Statistics Data:
During each phase of training development and execution, data is collected and modified in the on-line database.
Since this database spans a ten-year time frame, it can be utilized to perform statistical analyses within
historical, current, or future perspectives. Data can be categorized, summarized, compared and analyzed at a
single course, individual component, or a total Army level of detail.
The Mobilization Training Planning System (MTPS):
The mobilization planning process parallels very closely the peacetime training management process.
The Mobilization Army Program for Individual Training (MOB ARPRINT) is the Army's principle mission document
for the expansion of the training base to meet wartime requirements.
The goal of the implementation plan for mobilization is to accomplish the task of adjusting the training
program in a timely manner with the use of existing interactive data entry displays. The displays that the
user is accustomed to working with are the same ones that are in use during mobilization.
ATRRS occupies a key position in the overall Department of the Army automation architecture because it
integrates major aspects of manpower, personnel, training, and budget planning in peacetime and mobilization
for the total Army. It interfaces with a variety of Army information and decision support systems as well as
those for the other uniformed services.
