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

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
