5.  PRIORITIZATION.  SHORTFALLS IN WWTAD FUNDING FOR FY11-15 ARE HIGHLY PROBABLE.  ACCORDINGLY, PRIORITIES MUST BE SET TO FACILITATE OPTIMAL USE OF AVAILABLE WWTAD FUNDS DURING EACH FY.
TO THAT END, REQ OCCFLD MANAGERS, AS DEFINED IN REF (C), PRIORITIZE ALL COURSE QUOTA RQMTS WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW, PER BELOW GUIDANCE.
A.  COURSES SHALL BE CATEGORIZED IN THE FOLLOWING FOUR CATEGORIES:  READINESS; DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT; SAFETY; AND SKILL PROGRESSION.  WE RECOGNIZE THAT COURSES MIGHT FALL INTO MULTIPLE CATEGORIES; EACH COURSE MUST BE PLACED IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE CATEGORY.  WITHIN THESE CATEGORIES, COURSES WILL BE PRIORITIZED ONE THROUGH FOUR (ONE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT).  OF THE COURSES PRIORITIZED, ONLY 20 PERCENT MAY BE LISTED AS PRIORITY ONE.  THE REMAINING COURSES WILL BE SPREAD AMONG PRIORITIES TWO THROUGH FOUR.
B.  OFFICER AND ENLISTED ENTRY LEVEL COURSES DO NOT REQUIRE PRIORITIZATION FOR THIS CONFERENCE.
C.  ALL OTHER RQMTS FOR COURSES THAT ARE EITHER 140 DAYS IN LENGTH OR LONGER DO NOT REQUIRE PRIORITIZATION FOR THIS CONFERENCE.  ADDITIONALLY, COURSES SHORTER THAN 140 BUT ARE A COMPONENT/SEGMENT OF A TRAINING TRACK 140 DAYS IN LENGTH OR LONGER AT A SINGLE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION DO NOT REQUIRE PRIORITIZATION FOR THIS CONFERENCE.
