Andrew Study Guide Flashcards
What is the Commander’s role in training?
- Be present and actively engaged
- Ensure training is conducted to standard IAW T&EOs
- Ensure training is certified by NCOs and Officers
- Effectively manage risk - review RM and controls
- Demonstrate tactical and technical proficiency
- Protect training by eliminating distractions
What are the Army principles of training?
Commanders are primary trainers
NCOs train individuals/crews/small teams and advise commanders on all aspects of training
Train to standard using appropriate doctrine
Train as a combined arms team
Train as you fight
Train using multi-echelon techniques to maximize time and resource efficiency
Train to maintain
Fight to Train
Sustain levels of training proficiency over time
What is the ARSOF Readiness Model
- Provides a means of prioritizing training time and resources
- Based on 22 ½ month schedule to ensure the 1:2 D2D
- Phase I Reset: Individual Readiness/Taskings – 6 months. Unit focus on reintegration activities, rebuilding unit manpower, and equipment readiness. Referred to as red cycle.
- Phase II Trained/Ready: Collective Training – 10 ½ months. Units conduct EXEVALS, CULEX, CTCs to satisfy the CV2 process (certify, verify, validate). At the end of this phase the unit will be ready to be employed. This phase is referred to as Amber cycle.
- Phase III Available: Employment – 6 months. Following dwell time requirements, unit is deployed or ready to be deployed. This phase is referred to as Green cycle.
What is the purpose of the Commander’s Assessment
• Leaders use evaluations and other feedback to assess soldiers, leaders, and unit readiness. Mission readiness is a component of unit readiness and refers to a unit’s qualification to assume a specific mission. Commanders conduct training assessments to ensure quality training is conducted and the training meets or exceeds validated METL requirements.
CV2 Pathway
Certification - Unit performs the task and is internally evaluated one level up. Memo generated for each task performed to standard. Certified up to (P).
Verification - All memos submitted as a training verification packet stating unit is ready for validation
Validation - External evaluation by two levels up. Evaluated up to (T).
Explain the Rating and Criteria (uses T&EO):
Trained - Advanced Task Proficiency - To army standard. >90% performance measures and leadership performance measures, 100% critical task performance measures. Complex and Dynamic
Practiced - Basic Task Proficiency – Shortcomings require significant training to meet Army standard. >65% performance measures, >80% leadership performance measures, 100% critical performance measures. static and simple
Untrained - Cannot perform task – Requires complete training on the task to meet Army standard. <50% performance measures, <80% leadership performance measures, <100% critical performance measures.
What is the purpose of Command Training Guidance (CTG)?
• Higher is responsible for determining and communicating the training priorities of the command and subordinate unit commanders develop training strategies based on that guidance. Ensures subordinates understand, support, and nest Unit Training Program. Provides clear and concise guidance on what is trained, when it is trained, who is trained, and why.
What does Command Training Guidance (CTG) identify?
- Unit training focus
- Desired readiness level
- Long-range planning horizon
- Time management Cycle
- EXEVAL dates and responsibilities
- CTC rotation dates
- Training Environments
When does dialogue occur between commanders during Command Training Guidance (CTG)?
- Mission analysis back brief
- Training briefings (2 levels up)
- Weekly training meetings (1 and 2 levels up)
- Before, during, and after EXEVALs
What is Directed Training Affiliation (DTA)?
• Mutually beneficial training alignment that facilitates the need of AC and NG to meet mission and training requirements. Establishes dedicated, year round training relationships.
• Alignment:
1. 20th SFG - 7th SFG
a. 1/20 – 5th SFG
2. 19th SFG – 1st SFG
a. 5/19 – 10th SFGWhat are the requirements for advanced skills and the minimum for an SFOD-A?
Skill # per ODA SLJM 2 (at least 2 of triad) SFSC I 1 SFSC II 1 ASOT-C 1 Achilles Dagger 4 SFAUC All JTAC 1x ODB, 3x within Company ODA’s JFO 1 SUAS 2 MFFPC 12 MFFJM 2 CDQC 12 DIV SUP 2 DMT 2 (1 NG) MTN (Mountain Leader) 2 MTN (Senior Mountaineer) 4 MTN (Basic Mountaineer Operator) All Remaining
How are Battle Tasks developed for an SFOD-A?
Based upon the Battalion Commander’s guidance, the Battalion’s approved METL, and the assigned missions, the SFOD-A Commander analyzes collective tasks and selects the tasks critical for wartime mission accomplishment.
Company Commanders must plan, conduct, and evaluate SFOD-A training in support of the Battalion Commander’s guidance and SFOD-A approved Battle Tasks.
What are the similarities and differences between CIDTs and JCETs
Similarities between JCET and CIDT
- Title 10 Authorities
- Training with host nation forces
- Train with MOD and MOI
- Require Leahy Vetting
Differences:
- JCET: Section 322, vs CIDT: Section 333
- CIDT allows Advise and limited Equip
- CIDT: Limited MILCON
- JCET: Incremental Expenses Only, vs CIDT: Expedited acquisitions
- JCET: Benefit for USSOF, training in UW/FID/Language vs CIDT: Building Partner Capacity program to strengthen capability and capacity to counter illicit drugs
