THE ARMY S INSTITUTIONAL TRAINING RESOURCE MODEL MIKE RATHMANN CH, COST AND MODELING DIVISION HQ TRADOC G8 PAE DIRECTOR IN THE LATE 1990 S THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR OPERATIONS (ODCSOPS) AT HEADQUARTERS, DEPART- MENT OF THE ARMY SPONSORED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTIONAL TRAINING RESOURCE MODEL (ITRM). THE PURPOSE OF THE MODEL WAS TO GENERATE COST ESTIMATES FOR ARMY SCHOOLHOUSE TRAINING AND TO SUPPORT RESOURCE DECISION MAKING WITHIN THE PPBES AT HQDA. ITRM SUCCEEDED IN THAT APPLICATION AND IS ALSO CURRENTLY USED WITHIN THE TRAINING AND DOCTRINE COMMAND (TRADOC) FOR POM DEVELOP- MENT, BUDGET DISTRIBUTION AND AS A TOOL FOR ESTIMATING COSTS RELATED TO INTERSERVICE TRAINING AND OTHER WHAT IF EXERCISES. ITRM GENERATES RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS COVERING ALL THE COURSES TAUGHT IN TRADOC. THE RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS GENERATED BY ITRM CAN BE BROKEN DOWN INTO FOUR MAJOR COST COMPONENTS: a) PERSONNEL: ITRM WILL PRICE OUT THE TDA PERSONNEL USING AVERAGE SALARIES TIMES THE AUTHOR- IZED MANPOWER. ITRM IS NOT A MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS MODEL AND IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH OR GENERATE THE TDA MANPOWER FIGURES. RATHER, IT USES THE PERSONNEL FIGURES WHICH ARE RE- FLECTED IN THE APPROVED ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE AND CALCULATES THE SALARY COSTS FOR THE OR- GANIZATION. b) OPTEMPO: THE OPTEMPO COSTS ARE MODELED BASED ON THE EQUIPMENT LISTED IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION (POIS), THE NUMBER OF OPERATING HOURS FOR EACH OPTEMPO ITEM OF EQUIPMENT, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OPERATING AND SUPPORT COST FACTORS FOR EACH ITEM. THE CALCULATION OF OPERATING HOURS TIMES THE COST FACTORS YIELD THE OPERATING AND SUP- PORT COSTS FOR THE OPTEMPO EQUIPMENT. c) SPECIAL ITEMS OF INTEREST: ITEMS FOR WHICH THE COMMAND WANTS TO MAINTAIN COST VISIBILITY ARE BUILT IN TO THE ITRM RESOURCE REQUIREMENT AS SPECIAL ITEMS OF INTEREST (SII). THE SII MAY BE EMERGING REQUIREMENTS, SIGNIFICANT ITEMS OF EXPENSE OR SIMPLY SOMETHING WITH COMMAND OR DA EMPHASIS WHICH IS VISIBLY TRACKED IN THE MODEL. d) PER CAPITA: FOR COSTS THAT DO NOT FALL WITHIN THE PERSONNEL, OPTEMPO OR SII CATEGORIES A PER CAPITA COST FACTOR IS COMPUTED USING THE LATEST FY S ACTUAL OBLIGATIONS DATA DIVIDED BY THE STUDENT AND WORKFORCE PERSONNEL. THE RESULTING COST FACTORS ARE THEN USED BY THE ITRM MODEL TO PROJECT RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHATEVER YEAR RESOURCES ARE BEING DEVEL- OPED FOR. THE ACCURACY OF THE MODEL S RESOURCE PROJECTIONS IS DEPENDENT UPON DATA WHICH ORIGINATES WITH THE SCHOOLS. WHETHER THAT DATA IS POI BASED, ORGANIZATION PERSONNEL STRUCTURE, SIIS OR WHAT IS ULTI- MATELY USED FOR THE PER CAPITA DEVELOPMENT, THE SCHOOL PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE BY ORIGINATING ALL THE DATA THAT ULTIMATELY IS USED BY ITRM TO COMPUTE THE FUNDING PROJECTIONS.
