MOD D Flashcards
Army Principles of Training
- Commanders are the primary trainers
- NCOs train individuals, crews, and small teams; advise commanders on all aspects of training
- Train using multi-echelon techniques
- Train as a combined arms team
- Train to standard using appropriate doctrine
- Train as you fight
- Sustain level of training proficiency over time
- Train to maintain
- Fight to train
3 training domains
Self Development
Institutional
Operational
Self Development
Planned and goal oriented learning
Reinforces and expands the depth and breadth individuals
Bridge gaps between operational and institutional domains
Example: BA, advanced degree, seeks mentor/coaching credentialing opportunities
Institutional
Army centers/schools, provides initial training, PME and training for soldiers, military leaders, army civilians
Perform critical tasks to standard, supports units continually
Instill army profession, army ethic, character development of army professionals
Instill core values ethics reasoning, soldiers/civilian creed qualified individuals on common tasks, critical tasks for MOS
Examples: NCOA – SLC, MLC
WOI: Basic, Advanced, ILE
SWC
ILE
War College
Operational
Training scheduled by unit leaders, individuals that units undertake
Leaders undergo the bulk of the their development here; includes deployable units designed to maintain strategic, operational, tactical missions
Progressive training at home regional centers, mobilization centers, JPMRC, CSTX, CTC
Example: NTC, JRTC, JMRC; progressive team training, JCETs, Bulk of leader dev
3 types of training
Individual
Collective
Multi-Echelon
Individual
Clearly defined, observable and measurable activity accomplished by an individual
MOS specific and common to all
Lowest behavior/action in a job or duty that is performed
Wpns quals
Acft
Language
Collective
Institutions or units that prep cohesive teams and units to accomplish their missions in decisive actions
-CTCs, CULEXs, EXEVALs, Det Training concepts
Multi-Echelon
Technique that allows simultaneous training of more than one echelon on different or complementary tasks
Russia/OIR
Unified action partners
Multinational force
JMRC – allied spirit, ATLANTIC RESOLVE
CDR’s Role in Training (BEEEPD)
Be present and actively engaged
Ensure training is conducted to standard IAW T&Eos
Ensure training is lead by certified NCOs and Officers
Effectively manage risk – review controls and otherwise
Protect training by eliminating risk
Demonstrate technical and tactical proficiency
Principles of Leader Development (SPEEED)
Senior leaders develop subordinates
- plan carefully
- execute aggressively
- evaluate short-term achievements against long-term results
Proactive process, part of training plans, meetings, briefings
Establish goals, objectives, expectations in training events guides Jr. leader towards success
Ensure training plans include leader development and training objectives
Evaluate and assess leaders as part of training process
Develops leaders who can fight with their formations and win; training most important part of their development
Unit Training Management
CDR is essential to determining the few tasks on which unit trains
MET: Collective tasks on which an organization trains to be proficient in its designed capabilities or mission
METL: a tailored group of METs
MET Prioritization: Due to time and resource limitations, unit cannot simultaneously train to full proficiency on all tasks. CDRs prioritize METs based on unit capabilities or mission.
Tasks below company, also must prioritize
Prioritized collective tasks are essential for the accomplishment of Company BN and Group: for a lower unit these are called Battle Tasks
Training Readiness
Indicates our ability to fight and win the nation’s wars
Means by which the Army produces a “ready unit” capability through manned, equipped, trained, and led units
-Priorities
-Preserve wide area security competency ISO ULO through home station and CTC rotations
Prioritize and protect home station training environments
Establish and common objective standard for assessing and reporting training readiness
Reduce medical and administrative non-available soldiers
Training and leader development opportunities are sustained
Battle Focus Analysis
BFA ensures CSU’s training focuses on the requirements of the warfighting GCC
Objectives of BFA
-familiarize operational elements with mission requirements and assigned AORs
Periodic analysis and prioritization of METL
Update war and support plans
Development of initial plans prior to the contingnecy operations
Maintain and update unit loadout and development requirements
Four phases of BFA
- Mission analysis, METL Development, validation
- Training plan development
- POI/mission profile update
- Area study
Command Training Guidance
Higher is responsible for determining and communicating the training priorities of the command
Subordinate unit commanders develop raining strategies based on that guidance
Effective communication ensures subordinates understand higher’s guidance for training UTPs, fully support higher’s capability/mission and UTPs nest at each succeeding echelon
CTG identifies:
Unit training focus
Desired readiness level
Long-range planning horizon
Time management cycle
EXEVAL dates and responsibilities by unit
CTC rotation dates
Training environments
Other guidance
CDRs’s dialogue
Mission analysis back brief
Training briefings (2 levels up)
Weekly training meetings ( 1+2 levels up)
Before, during, and after EXEVALS
To ensure unit CDRs remain in concurrence with the direction and goals of unit training and readiness
ARM
22.5 month schedule
4 units to meet persistent OP requirement and 1:2 dwell
Phase 1 – reset
Recover, individual readiness, tasking
Phase 2 – trained/ready 10.5 months
- conduct collective training
- certification
- validation
30-day JCET if dwell permits (at least 1:2 before JCET allowed)
Phase 3 – available (6 months)
Unit ready, validated, and available for employment
DTA
Mutually beneficial training alignment that facilitates needs of AC to ARNG groups to meet mission and training requirements. Direct coordination b/t aligned units authorized for planning coordination does not constitute approval
CV2 pathway
- certification of to standard METL; 1 level up commander certifies prior to phase II ARM
- each event generates a memo
- internal evals can only be to P by CDR
Rollup packet of memos is a Total Cv2 memo, includes manning training equipment operational design, key engagements
Validation during exeval – 2 levels up
Time Phased Force Deployment and Data
TPFDD – a method to plan out and execute large-scale deployments. The computer-supported database portion of operation plan: it contains a time-phased force data, non-unit related cargo and personal data and movement data for the operations plan
Pro: MACOM does all planning
CON:
no route flexibility
No price negotiation
Not feasible for small units
Non established routes unfeasible
Lower priority for urgent missions
Aggregation of ULNs give wide dates
Require GO letter for changes
Cargo charges require TPFDD change
Minimum of 100 pax and 25 short tons
Penalized for weight or loss or mission
Special Airlift Assigned Mission
SAAM Airlift requirements for special pickup or delivery by AF air mobility command at points other than established routes, and which require special consideration because of the number of passengers involved, the weight/size of cargo, urgency or sensitivity of MVT or other special factors
PRO
-small forces
Route flexibility
Price discounts
Continuity by and with users and pilots
CON
User does aall planning
Lose discount if changes made within 30 days

METL Development
- Group CDR forwards developed METL to CG at 1st SFC(A) for approval
- After approval, Group CDR provides group and BN METL to the TSOC
