examination.
During examination:
• Conduct the class in accordance with the Criteria Test Instructions (CTI).
• Monitor students.
• Announce when 30 minutes has elapsed for the examination.
• Announce when 10 minutes and 5 minutes remain to complete the examination.
After examination:
• Collect all recoverable materials after the examination.
The General Learning Outcome (GLO): Upon completion of this assessment, the students will
be able to demonstrate proficiency using ALA and GLO's to successfully plan a tactical radio
communications network with assigned tactical radio systems using Systems Planning
Engineering & Evaluation Device(SPEED) software planning tool. Capable of successfully
providing tactical radio communications network coverage using Point-to-Point Terrain Analysis,
achieving a Green Line status indicated an acceptable predicted transmission in both directions
for all assigned platform meeting all mission/unit scenario requirements.
LSA 1 is the Criteria Test Instructions. The Method of Instruction (MOI) is Test. The LSA
outcome to be accomplished is for the student to (1) completely fill out all require forms and
understand all test instructions, (2) plan a tactical radio communications network with assigned
tactical radio systems using Systems Planning Engineering & Evaluation Device (SPEED)
software planning tool. Capable of successfully providing tactical radio communications network
coverage using Point-to-Point Terrain Analysis, achieving a Green Line status indicated an
acceptable predicted transmission in both directions for all assigned platform meeting all
mission/unit scenario requirements. You will be allotted 150 minutes to complete the
examination.
LSA 2 is the Test Review. The Method of Instruction (MOI) is Test Review. The LSA outcome
to be accomplished is to conduct an individual review with each student informing them on the
question(s) the student missed by providing them the learning step activity in the lesson plan
where they can find the correct answer.
6
Once the students has a full understanding:
This exam will serve as the Course CAPSTONE assessing the 25C30 NCOs, ability
to successfully providing tactical radio communications network coverage using Point-to-Point
Terrain Analysis. The Develop (ELM) portion is performed immediately following the
evaluations. This is accomplished through immediate feedback from the facilitator about the
student's performance during the assessment. This is also accomplished during the Summary
of the exam when the students will have the opportunity to discuss how they can use
information from the lesson in the future.
