THE ROLE OF TRAINING AND LEADER DEVELOPMENT
Unit training and leader development are the Army’s life-blood. Army leaders train units to be versatile.
Who are responsible for trainning units and developing leaders?
Commanders are responsible for training units and developing leaders.
where does trainning begin?
Training begins in the generating force.
In schools and training centers, Soldiers are introduced to Warrior Tasks and focus on developing individual skills and knowledge—the fundamentals that will help them integrate into a team to train on unit collective tasks.
The operational training domain
The operational training domain is the training activities undertaken by organizations while at home station, and training centers.
The self-development training domain
The self-development training domain is planned, goal-oriented learning that reinforces an individual’s knowledge.
THE ROLE OF THE COMMANDER
Commanders are responsible for ensuring their units are capable of performing their missions. Commanders cannot delegate this responsibility.

Noncommissioned Officers Train Individuals, Crews, and Small Teams
- Noncommissioned officers (NCOs) are the primary trainers of enlisted Soldiers, crews, and small teams.
NCOs help officers train units. NCOs develop and conduct training for their subordinates that supports the unit training plan, coach other NCOs, advise senior leaders, and help develop junior officers.
Train to Standard
- Units always train to the standard established for each individual and collective task. Leaders know and enforce standards to ensure their organization meets mission requirements. When no standard exists, the commander establishes one and the next higher commander approves it.
Train as You Will Fight
- “Train as you will fight” means training under an expected operational environment for the mission. This means establishing in training what the unit can expect during operations to include the culture of an operational environment. Commanders and other leaders replicate cultural settings as much as possible during training, using role players or actual mission partners.
Train While Operating
- Training continues when units are deployed or when conducting daily operations. As units operate, they learn from formal and informal after action reviews. They train to improve performance and address changes in tactics, techniques, and procedures that affect the operation.
Train Fundamentals First
- Units at every echelon must master the fundamentals needed to accomplish their mission. Fundamentals include basic soldiering, the Warrior Tasks, battle drills, marksmanship, fitness, and military occupational specialty proficiencies that support the capabilities of the unit. Units proficient in fundamentals are more capable of accomplishing higher level, more complex collective tasks that support the unit’s mission-essential task list—the fundamental, doctrinal tasks that units should be prepared to execute during any assigned mission.
Leaders Train to Develop Adaptability
- Effective leaders understand that change is inevitable in any operational environment. The time to react to change can be short. Adaptability comes from training under complex, changing conditions, with minimal information available to make decisions.
Understand The Operational Environment
- An operational environment establishes the conditions for training. The conditions are drawn from the operational variables—known as PMESII-PT—that must be replicated to prepare the unit for operations. The unit training management operation order establishes the conditions that units must meet for training.
Train to Sustain
- Training prepares units and individuals to be resilient. Training must prepare units and Soldiers for the stress of operations. Unit training plans must incorporate programs that improve individual and collective mental and physical fitness.
Train to Maintain
- Units must conduct maintenance to ensure equipment is serviceable and available for the conduct of training and for mission accomplishment. Maintenance training is an integral part of the unit training plan.
