events, activities, and resources.

PART A - TRAINING MEETINGS
Training meetings are non-negotiable at battalion and company level.
They will be held. Training meetings provide guidance for forming training
schedules.
The payoff for well-structured, well-organized, and recurring training
meetings is training that is exciting, demanding and is directly related to
the unit's mission.
Important points about training meetings are:

of the CSM and 1SG.
SGM and or 1SG ensure linkage of soldier
training with collective training.
o Focus on training issues only.
o Conducted weekly for AC and monthly for RC at battalion and
company level.
o Routinely scheduled on the same day and at the same time.
o Posted on the training schedule
o Follow a published agenda and do not exceed allotted time.
o Convert knowledge about training deficiencies into scheduled
events.
o Include all necessary participants.

disconnects in resources.
