2 weeks
About how long is the conditioning phase?
The conditioning phase ends when a soldier is physically mission-capable and all personal,strength-related goals and unit-fitness goals have been met.
What is a MFT?
Master Fitness Trainer. A Master Fitness Trainer (MFT)is a soldier who has completed either the four-week active-component, two week reserve-component, or U.S. Military Academy’s MFT course work. Although called“masters,” MFTs are simply soldiers who know about all aspects of physical fitness training and how soldiers’ bodies function. Most importantly, since MFTs are taught to design individual and unit programs, they should be used by commanders as special staff assistants for this purpose.

The purpose of drill is to enable a commander or non-commissioned officer to move his unit from one place to another in an orderly manner; to aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader’s orders;and to provide for the development of all soldiers in the practice of commandingtroops.

Intelligence definition
Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign nations, hostile or potentially hostile forces or elements, or areas of actual or potential operations.
Intelligence
ADRP 2-0
The purpose of intelligence.
The purpose of intelligence is to support commanders and staffs in gaining situational understanding of threats, terrain and weather, and civil considerations.
All-source intelligence
All-source intelligence is the integration of intelligence and information from all relevant sources in order to analyze situations or conditions that impact operations.
Counterintelligence
CI counters or neutralizes intelligence collection efforts through collection, CI investigations, operations, analysis, production, and technical services and support.
Risk Management Definition
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from operational factors and making decisions that balance risk costs with mission benefits.
Open-Source Intelligence
Open-source intelligence is information of potential intelligence value that is available to the general public (JP 2-0). For the Army, OSINT is the discipline that pertains to intelligence produced from publicly available information that is collected, exploited, and disseminated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience for the purpose of addressing a specific intelligence requirement. OSINT operations are integral to Army intelligence operations.
METT-TC
Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops and Support Available, Time Available, Civil Considerations
Fires
Fires are the use of weapons systems to create a specific lethal or nonlethal effect on a target (Joint Publication)
Joint fires
Joint fires are fires delivered during the employment of forces from two or more components in coordinated action to produce desired effects in support of a common objective (JP 3-0).
The role of fires
The role of fires is to enable Army forces to seize and retain the initiative, prevent and deter conflict, defeat adaptive threats and succeed in a wide range of contingencies.

5 Steps of Risk Management
Step 1. Identify hazards.
Step 2. Assess hazards to determine risks.
Step 3. Develop controls and make risk decisions.
Step 4. Implement controls.
Step 5. Supervise and evaluate.
types of risks:
There are 2 types of risks:
- Tactical risk
- Accident Risk
Tactical Risk
Tactical risk is risk concerned with hazards that exist because of the presence of either the enemy or an adversary. It applies to all levels of war and across the spectrum of operations.
Accident Risk
Accident risk includes all operational risk considerations other than tactical risk. It includes risks to the friendly force. It also includes risks posed to civilians by an operation, as well as an operations impact on the environment. It can include activities associated with hazards concerning friendly personnel, civilians, equipment readiness, and environmental conditions.
Step 1: Identifying Hazards
Conditions change quickly, consider all METT-TC involved in the operations.
Hazards
Any existing or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death; damage to, or loss of equipment and property; or degradation of the mission.
Risk
The chance of hazards or bad con-sequences; exposure to injury or loss. The risk level is expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity.
Probability
The likeliness that an event will occur.
Frequent-occurs often.
Likely - Occurs several times.
Occasional - occurs sporadically.
Seldom - Unlikely, but could occur.
Unlikely - Probably won’t occur.
Severity
Severity is the expected result of an event (degree of injury, property damage or other mission impairing factors.
Catastrophic
Critical
Marginal
Negligible
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment is the identification and assessments of an individual hazard or all identified hazards combined to complete a task.
Residual Risk
Residual Risk is the level of risk remaining after controls have been implemented. Controls are altered until the residual risk is at an acceptable level or until it cannot practically be further reduced.
Perform remedial action.
a. If a cartridge case is in the chamber, tap it out with a cleaning rod.

j. Load the rifle.
k. Fire the rifle.
S-P-O-R-T-S.
(immediate action)
a. Slap upward on the magazine to make sure it is properly seated.
b. Pull the charging handle all the way back.
c. Observe the ejection of the case or cartridge. Look into the chamber and check for obstructions.
d. Release the charging handle to feed a new round in the chamber. Do not ride the charging handle.
e. Tap the forward assist.
f. Shoot. If the rifle still does not fire, inspect it to determine the cause of the stoppage or malfunction and take appropriate remedial action.
Define Leadership.
Leadership is influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.
What is leadership purpose?
Leadership purpose gives subordinates the reason to act in order to achieve a desired outcome.
Describe the “Be, Know and Do”.
Army leadership begins with what the leader must BE, the values and attributes that shape a leader’s character. Your skills are those things you KNOW how to do, your competence in everything from the technical side of your job to the people skills a leader requires. But character and knowledge while absolutely necessary are not enough. You cannot be effective, you cannot be a leader, until you apply what you know, until you act and DO what you must.
