What action must commands take for equipment that does not have a published Training Circular (TC)?

• A. Do nothing
• B. Submit to higher HQ
• C. Use TRADOC TC
• D. Develop and approve examination

Answer: (D)

When there’s no published Training Circular for a piece of equipment, the unit must establish a formal way to assess proficiency. The best approach is to develop and have approved an examination that tests the required knowledge and skills for operating or maintaining that equipment. This creates a clear, verifiable standard and ensures personnel are evaluated consistently, even in the absence of official guidance. Using a TRADOC Training Circular isn’t possible when none exists for that equipment, so that option doesn’t provide a valid path. Submitting the matter to higher headquarters can delay establishing a usable standard and doesn’t by itself create an approved assessment. Doing nothing would leave training and readiness unverified.
