How do AIT evaluations typically occur?

AIT evaluations are designed to assess the progress and competencies of trainees in a structured manner. They typically occur regularly at the end of training phases to ensure that each segment of training is effectively preparing the individual for the next steps. This method allows for timely feedback and adjustments to training plans, enhancing readiness and skill development.

By conducting evaluations at the conclusion of each training phase, instructors can measure learning outcomes against established objectives, identify areas needing improvement, and confirm that trainees have reached the necessary competency levels before moving on. This structured evaluation process is fundamental to the AIT's role in producing competent soldiers ready for their duties.

Other frequencies, such as once a year or every other month, do not align with the training objectives, as they would not provide the immediate feedback necessary to facilitate timely improvements. Additionally, relying solely on peer assessments would not offer a comprehensive evaluation of a trainee's performance, as trained instructors provide critical insights and assessments that peers may not be equipped to deliver.
