What it is.
Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) is a collaborative program that leverages military contributions and community resources to multiply value and cost savings for participants. Communities typically provide materials and basic services (e.g. facilities), while military units contribute personnel and training resources. IRT missions produce mission ready forces, civil-military partnerships, and stronger communities. The mission is to produce mission-ready forces through military training opportunities that provide key services for American communities.
What it accomplishes.
Southern Tier 8 Regional Board not only recognizes local health care needs, but also understands the value in community readiness and has offered adminstration and technical assistance for the programs. Since 2015, ARC, NYS Department of State, and Southern Tier 8 Regional Board have been helping local communities become matched with IRT missions to deliver no-cost medical care to local residents.
