Do separate and secure requirements apply to reclassified or prior service soldiers housed separately from IET soldiers?

The statement that separate and secure requirements do not apply to reclassified or prior service soldiers housed separately from Initial Entry Training (IET) soldiers is accurate because the essence of these requirements is primarily focused on IET soldiers. The rationale behind this lies in the distinct nature of the training environment for IET soldiers, who are undergoing foundational training, where certain measures are necessary to maintain discipline, security, and the integrity of the training process.

Reclassified or prior service soldiers usually have different training and integration needs, as they have already completed basic training or have prior military experience. Therefore, their housing arrangements and interactions do not require the same level of separation and security as those of IET soldiers. This policy allows for more flexible and tailored approaches to housing and training, promoting efficiency in the training cycle.
