Q

Unit Training Management

A

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

Q

Objectives of BFA

A

-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

17
Q

Four phases of BFA

A
  1. Mission analysis, METL Development, validation
  2. Training plan development
  3. POI/mission profile update
  4. Area study
18
Q

Command Training Guidance

A

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

19
Q

CTG identifies:

A

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

20
Q

CDRs’s dialogue

A

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

21
Q

ARM

A

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

22
Q

DTA

A

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

23
Q

CV2 pathway

A
  • 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

24
Q

Time Phased Force Deployment and Data

A

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

25
Q

Special Airlift Assigned Mission

A

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
