Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Program
A complete, drill-ready training package: a 30–50 minute block of instruction, a pocket field guide, and the three administrative products your training record needs.
49 slides with a minute-by-minute timeline, discussion prompts, cut-lines, and speaker notes under every slide. Includes the uniform-wear block, five original diagrams and the official AGSU plates. Toggle notes off to project.
Letter landscape · 49 pages 02Twenty-eight half-letter pages built to live in a cargo pocket — the LRM, bearing checklists, measured grooming diagrams, AGSU placement, the correction card, and a write-in commitments page.
5.5 × 8.5 in · 28 pages 0350 signature lines across two pages, absentee tracking, percent-trained tally, and a certification block naming the references taught.
Letter portrait · 2 pages 04DD Form 2977 format per ATP 5-19, pre-populated with eight real hazards, controls, and residual risk levels. Includes the five steps and the risk matrix.
Letter portrait · 2 pages 05The four-question AAR per FM 7-0 Appendix K — an individual input sheet for every attendee, plus a consolidation page and a facilitator script.
Letter portrait · 2 pages 06Every source and figure behind the block, what was verified against the source document, and which content is perishable and needs checking before you teach.
Letter portrait · 1 pageThe deck and the pocket book open in ink-saver mode: line art on white, no solid fills, no block-colour cover. It is roughly a quarter of the toner of the full-colour version and it will not soak or buckle the paper. Colour coding switches to line weight and dash pattern, so everything still reads on a black-and-white copier. Use the Full colour toggle in the toolbar if you ever want the screen version.
| Product | Print settings |
|---|---|
| Pocket Field Guide | The booklet. Paper Letter, 2 pages per sheet, double-sided, flip on the SHORT edge, scale 100%. 28 pages = 7 sheets per book. Fold down the middle and staple twice on the crease. |
| Facilitator Deck | Letter, landscape, scale 100%. One slide per page with your notes underneath. Print single-sided if you want to lay slides out while you rehearse. |
| Roster / Risk / AAR | Letter, portrait, scale 100%. |
| Everything | Scale 100% — never "fit to page," which shrinks the form fields and the diagram labels. In ink-saver you can leave Background graphics OFF, which saves more toner still. |
02-pocket-book.html, leave it in ink-saver, click Print / Save PDF, choose "Save as PDF" at Letter size, 2 pages per sheet, scale 100%. Now you have one file you can hand to anybody.| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Your unit’s copier | Try this first. This is official training material for an NCODP — it is a legitimate use of unit resources. Ask your training NCO or the S-1 shop. Most unit MFPs are Ricoh, Canon or Xerox and already have a saddle-stitch booklet option built in. Cost to you: nothing. |
| Post / installation print plant | Many installations have a DA print facility or a training support center that does bulk duplication for training products on a work order. Slowest option, cheapest per copy at volume, best finishing. |
| Staples / Office Depot | Upload the PDF online and pick it up, or walk in. Black-and-white booklet printing is generally in the ballpark of a few dollars a copy at these page counts. Ask specifically for saddle-stitch booklet, 8.5 × 11 folded to 5.5 × 8.5. |
| FedEx Office / UPS Store | Same service, usually a bit more expensive, but open late and often on Sundays — useful the night before drill. |
| Public library | Cheapest per page anywhere, often around a dime a sheet for black and white. No booklet folding, so you print 2-up double-sided and fold by hand. |
What to tell the print counter: "I need this PDF printed as a saddle-stitch booklet — 8.5 by 11 folded to 5.5 by 8.5, black and white, double-sided, 28 pages, and I need N copies." Bring the page count and the copy count and the conversation takes thirty seconds.
Quotations from Army Directive 2025-18 were taken directly from the signed directive. The Leadership Requirements Model was checked against Center for Army Leadership material. Definitions from ADP 6-22, FM 6-22, and TC 7-22.7 are accurate doctrine but are cited to the publication or chapter rather than to a paragraph number, because the source PDFs could not be retrieved to confirm paragraph-level references.
No paragraph number appears anywhere in these products that was not verified against the source. If you need paragraph-level citations for a formal lesson plan, pull the publications from armypubs.army.mil and add them — the Citation Card lists exactly which ones need it.
On the figures. The uniform plates are reproduced from DA PAM 670-1 (26 January 2021), a US Government work approved for public release. Note the date — it predates the 2025 grooming changes, so it is used for insignia placement only. The hair, tattoo-zone and inspection-sweep diagrams are original drawings built from the measurements in AD 2025-18 and AD 2022-09, because no current official figure reflects those changes.
