Section 141-31-7-5 - ARMY CORRESPONDENCE COURSES

a. The Army Correspondence Course Program (ACCP) provides progressive education opportunities through correspondence study for WVARNG officers. This type of military educational study has proven to be ideal for WVARNG officers who cannot take advantage of resident courses due to their restrictive time requirements which would take the officer away from his civilian pursuits. Army Correspondence Courses are prepared and administered by the various army schools and offer career development opportunities at the Basic Branch, Advanced, USC&GSC, and the Army, War College levels. They also offer functional correspondence courses that cover the knowledge in a particular job assignment such as: Motor Officer, Food Service Officer, Personnel Officer, Adjutant, and many others concerning various assignments at troop unit levels. These latter courses are available as an additional curriculum for specific areas of assignment.

b. Interchangeable programs are available to officers whereby these courses, except those at the Army War College, can be completed by pure correspondence study of by a combination of correspondence study and resident training at the Army Service schools.

c. Applications for enrollment in Army Correspondence Courses are prepared on DA Form 145, at the unit of assignment and forwarded through channels to Army Correspondence Courses Programs.

d. DA PAMPHLET 351-20 prescribes the scope of the courses and the prerequisites for enrollment. Each Army Service School administering the program also publishes a catalog which further lists all courses offered by the particular school and includes subject matter of the course, titles of each subcourse included in the course, credit hours of each subcourse and total credit hours for the course, and complete instructions for completing the course. Each organizational headquarters of troop units will obtain and have on file copies of correspondence course catalogs from all schools which contain courses relevant to assignments within the organization.
