In December 2019, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) named Georgia Army National Guardsman Sergeant First Class D. Patrick Arp, with the Marietta-based, 1st Battalion, 122nd Regional Training Institute (RTI), as the TRADOC Hero of the Battlefield.

Recipients of this award show a significant contribution to the success of the TRADOC mission and uphold the time-honored traditions of the Army.

As a course manager for the Human Intelligence (HUMIN) Collector Advanced Leaders Course (ALC), Arp implemented and refined robust courseware with updated features to reflect the evolving modern operational environment. These developments better prepared upcoming staff sergeants in U.S. Army intelligence to become senior leaders in human intelligence management.

"Sergeant First Class Arp has improved the delivery of the courseware and efficiency of the RTI," said Major General Laura A. Potter, the Commanding General, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca. "It is through his outstanding performance and leadership that Sgt. 1st Class Arp has rightfully earned the title of the TRADOC Hero of the Battlefield."

The Marietta-based 122nd Regional Training Institute provides leadership, military occupational specialty, additional skill identifier, noncommissioned officer education and general studies training for all components of the U.S. Army. Over the last year, the RTI conducted 38 different classes, a total of over 15,000 training hours, which resulted in 1510 graduates improving military readiness across the U.S. Army.

"He is a direct reflection of the level of our instructors throughout the RTI," said Command Sgt. Maj. Patrick Eaton, senior enlisted advisor, 122nd Regional Training Institute. "Our instructors are not only the most-knowledgeable subject matter experts in their field, but they also exemplify the noncommissioned officer profession."
