Step 2.
Post required training events on the calendar.
These are requirements that are directed by higher headquarters.
These events provide excellent training opportunities for the subordinate
leaders. They must take full advantage of these events to select training
objectives to be accomplished.
The dates of these events should be
annotated. If exact dates are unknown, block window periods.
Examples of required training events are--
o
MAPEX, TEWT, CPX, CFX, FCX, and FTX.
o
CTC training rotations.
o
External evaluations.
o
Gunnery periods.
o
Security reaction force duty.
o
Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) support.
o
OPFOR support and training.
o
RC support (for AC units).
Step 3.
Schedule other requirements.
Identify other requirements that impact on training. Reduce training
distracters by properly identifying required events early in the planning
process.
Some examples are--
o Announced
inspections,
such
as
technical
validation
inspections (TVIs), nuclear surety inspections (NSIs), and
command inspection program (CIP) inspections.
o New equipment fielding to include new equipment training
(NET).
o Community and installation support events; for example,
parades and displays.
o Directed administrative requirements (RC), such as panographic
x-rays and HIV screening.
Step 4.
Schedule unit-controlled exercises and other training.
The leader schedules events which will improve or sustain METL
proficiency in conjunction with higher headquarters' directed-training
requirements. For example, a leader could schedule a TEWT, a CPX, an FCX,
and STXs prior to an FTX.
