When are personal electronic devices authorized for use by AIT soldiers?

Personal electronic devices are authorized for use by AIT soldiers during off-duty hours. This allows soldiers the flexibility to communicate, access information, and relax without interfering with their training and responsibilities. Off-duty hours are typically defined as times when soldiers are not engaged in scheduled training, classes, or duties, ensuring that training focus remains undistracted during those periods when instruction or operational readiness is essential. Conversely, the use of such devices during training hours or at the discretion of the instructor could disrupt the learning environment and impact the soldiers' concentration and engagement with their training program.
