26. One of the Army National Guard's top priorities is to develop a holistic fitness program for Soldiers, Family members and Army Civilians in order to enhance performance and build resilience. The Resilience Trainer Assistance-Course (RTA-C) is a course that will produce junior leaders with the capability to teach proven resilience skills to the Soldiers in their teams, squads, platoons and companies in order to enhance their performance and increase their resilience, both individually and collectively. The RTA-C is an established training program that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing behavioral health problems. Soldiers will review the myths about resilience and why resilience is critical for success and well-being, and they learn about the scientific literature of the core factors that predict resilience, with a specific focus on the factors that are amenable to change. Ideally, Soldiers taking this course will return to the force as drill sergeants, squad leaders, platoon sergeants and platoon leaders, first sergeants and company commanders and they will be expected to train these skills to those Soldiers in their unit. Additionally, they will serve as subject matter experts for their commanders. Soldiers will learn resilience and performance enhancing skills and how to teach them. These skills have proven efficacy in contributing success of teams and leaders, families, students, executives and military personnel. Skills learned include emotion awareness and regulation, impulse control, de-catastrophizing, putting it in perspective, effective communication, challenging negative beliefs, problem solving, and real time resilience.
