Hurricane Helene Information


Fort Eisenhower remains under CONTROLLED ACCESS.
 
As of THURSDAY, 3 OCT, I am defining CONTROLLED ACCESS as allowing for:  mission essential personnel, first responders, and residents of Fort Eisenhower. Commanders at echelon will define mission essential personnel for operational and installation-wide missions.
 
As we sequentially restore services for beneficiaries in the coming days, I will re-define the controlled access definitions to allow for more DOD ID card holders and beneficiaries to return to the installation as needed (i.e. retirees & dependents able to return to AAFES and Commissary)
 
When we have fully established services, training, and operations and it is safe to do so, I will restore the installation OPEN, which means that only standard restrictions to entrance apply (e.g. non-ID card holders, individuals with warrants, etc).

This course provides instruction and allows practical exercises on the installation application and management of computer-based information systems support decisive action in the conduct of Unified Land Operations (ULO) via a mission command capability systems. The main emphasis of learning of a 255A technical training will be in designing, building, configuring, operating, maintaining, and sustaining information systems and services within the Army's portion of the cyberspace domain on the Department of Defense Information Networks (DODIN) that includes an Introduction to Networks, Cyber Security Essentials, Enterprise Security, Introduction to DevOps, Basic Data Management, Basic Data Analysis, Cloud Technology, Scripting (PowerShell), Server Services, Microsoft Active Directory Infrastructure, Administer and Support Exchange Server, Collaboration Services in knowledge management via SharePoint, Configuration Manager (CM), Active Directory and Server exercise, Common Core, Storage Area Networks, Virtualization, Tactical Server Integration, Digital Tactical Operations (DTOC), and an End of Course Capstone. This course has a Deputy Commanding General's Center for Initial Military Training (DCG-CIMT) directed Common Core training. The capstone training event is conducted at the end of the course that assesses the 255A learners' ability to perform critical tasks in a simulated field environment using Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) scenarios. Upon completion of this course, MOS 255A Soldiers will be Warrant Officers capable of demonstrating Army Leadership and the Army Profession; Mission Command; Human Dimension, and Professional Competences reflective of the Army Learning Areas (ALAs) that enhances the Information Services Technician as a direct first line leader in the Army.

 

Prerequisites:

  • Must be a graduate from course: 911-09W Phase: (None) (Warrant Officer Candidate) or
  • Must be a graduate from course: 911-09W Phase: 2 (Warrant Officer Candidate)
  • Must possess a current Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS-SCI) security clearance, an Interim TS security clearance or an open T5 investigation

Special Information:

  • This is a three-phase Professional Military Education (PME) MEL Code 6 course attended by both Active Army (AA) and Reserve Component (RC) Soldiers. Phases of the course must be completed in sequence. However, AA and RC attendance requirements are different:
  • The AA students must enroll, attend, and complete all phases of the course in one continuous school attendance period or course iteration.
  • The RC students may enroll, attend, and complete one or all phases in one or more school attendance periods, or course iterations. However, the course phases must be completed in sequential order, and the minimum RC attendance period is one complete phase per attendance period or course iteration. This approach will allow RC students an opportunity to return to home station between phases, and accommodates the RC training cycle to obtain MEL Code 6 certification within the required two-year timeline.

CAPSTONE:

A capstone training event is conducted at the end of the course to assess student learning and to evaluate their ability to perform required MOS specific critical tasks in a simulated field environment.
