Individual Training Standards (Its) System for Public Affairs, Occupational Field (Occfld) 43

The references establish the system used to publish all training standards, provide policy, and assign training responsibilities, especially as applied to the Systems Approach to Training (SAT). ITSs establish the training requirements for all Marines in the same occupational field (OccFld), Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), or billet. They provide a foundation upon which unit commanders and Functional Learning Center (FLC) directors build training packages for individual Marines as part of unit training plans or formal courses of instruction. ITSs represent the skills that contribute to the unit mission as expressed in the Mission Performance Standards (MPS). Changes to doctrine or force structure or the introduction of new weapons or equipment may necessitate revision of this Order. This order deletes two specialities from the ITS Order (MOS 4321 Print Journalist and MOS 4391 Public Affairs Chief) to reflect the current OccFld structure. It includes MOS 4341 Combat Correspondent.
