LONG-RANGE PLANNING
The long-range plan is the first step in converting command goals into
individual and unit performance.
It is the mix of individual, leader and
collective training that best improves and maintains a unit while making the
best use of resources.
In developing a training strategy, the leader
selects the training events and activities focusing on specific unit
training needs.
He must find the best blend of individual, leader, and
collective training that will improve and sustain unit proficiency while
efficiently using resources. As the leader considers the various kinds of
training exercises and activities needed, he must review the training
support available to determine whether resource constraints may affect
desired training.
Scheduled training events and activities cannot occur
without thorough planning and the allocation of available resources.
