The Junior Lead Training Development Tool (JLTDT) was created to instruct junior leaders in the processes of training development and provide training development job aids to assist in developing effective training products. The development of the JLTDT was based on a comprehensive literature review and subject matter expert feedback from the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) units and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) agencies. The JLTDT is an interactive training development tool that consists of a central database of training resources and training plans posted by junior leaders and a checklist of training development steps seen in the 8-Step Training Model. This report documents the process that was used to develop the JLTDT as well as the application of the tool (Appendix A). The prototype tool was coordinated with the Army Training Network (ATN), and ATN website developers incorporated some of its content into the ATN website. A CD is enclosed with the source code for the prototype tool. The source code is written in Visual Studios 2008. The CD also includes the back-up files, images, and links to the various job aids in the tool
