PART D PLANNING CALENDARS
Battalion commanders publish their long-range guidance in the form of
long-range planning calendars.
Although written training guidance is not
required, it may be used to emphasize key training events or higher
headquarters' training guidance. Subordinate leaders provide input to the
battalion long-range planning calendar.
The battalion long-range planning calendar is a graphic depiction of
upcoming training.
It provides direction and coordinates resource
requirements.
Supporting and supported units should exchange planning
calendars to enhance coordination.
The Standard Army Training System (SATS) is designed to assist in
formatting and producing planning calendars. The following four steps are
suggested for preparing the long-range planning calendar.
The example
depicts only the second quarter of the long-range planning calendar. AC and
RC units should modify the four steps to fit the needs of the command. RC
units must post AT and IDT dates first.
Step 1.
Post the time management system.
Posting the time management system first highlights prime-time
training periods available to the unit, and support periods.
Commanders
then focus their resource and exercise planning to take advantage of prime-
time training.
NOTE: Holiday periods to include host-nation holidays must be posted.
