Guardsmen Helping Guardsmen Prepare
CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Ga., Feb. 10, 2013 – The Army National Guard (ARNG) Aviation Training and Assistance Team (ATAT) conducts 80 assistance visits every year to various ARNG aviation units and facilities across the 54 states and territories. The ARNG ATAT is headquartered in Georgia but draws upon the operational knowledge from 9+ states across the nation to help standardize and share best practices across ARNG aviation units.
Like most of her ATAT peers, Maj. Mary Beth Merrick the ATAT training and command programs subject matter expert, serves with her local unit giving her current insight and experience to share while evaluating and training other units.
“Army Schools do not teach program management, leaving an important role that ATAT now fills. Program management becomes On the Job Training where we can come along beside other Guardsmen sharing best practices to build effective and efficient programs.”
