Joint Service Adventurous Training Scheme - Army Sponsored Activities Distributed Training (DT) Directive

Since its introduction in 2002 the Joint Service Adventurous Training (JSAT) scheme Army sponsored Distributed Training (DT) has proved to be a highly successful and hugely popular facet of Adventurous Training (AT) activity. DT underpins the growth of future leaders/instructors within the JSAT scheme. It is therefore essential that the AT Desk Officers ensure that all Level 2 and 3 authorised expeditions, where practicable, conduct DT as an integral part of the exercise/expedition.

The Aim of this directive is to ensure all personnel are fully cognisant with the implementation of the JSAT DT process and supersedes Reference A.
