The primary focus of training meetings at battalion level is training
management issues for the next six weeks. Coordination meetings should be
held to resolve resource issues prior to the battalion training meeting. At
company level, training meetings focus on the specifics of training to be
conducted.
Training meetings are also held at platoon and squad level. Essential
soldier, leader, and collective training needs must be identified and sent
up the chain of command.
Likewise, information passed out at the company
training meeting must reach every soldier through the platoon chain of
command. The training schedule provides this detailed information.
