Scope Senior leaders are responsible to develop and resource
unit training plans that support the commander’s vision
and end-state. Depending on the focus of the higher
commander, training plans can be very diverse in their
requirements. Leaders must be able to analyze a higher
command staff directive document to guide them in
preparing effective training. Units training at home
station and while deployed, must consider the
environment and be able to sustain within that
environment while maintaining reportable qualification
records to the unit S shops. Senior leaders expect
subordinates to present their plans in a logical briefing
format to their higher-level command during regular
command and staff meetings. At the end of this lesson,
learners will manage training requirements by clearly
defining the connections between the operations and
training processes, and use tools, such as physical
models, standing operating procedures (SOPs),
simulations, and games to meet training objectives.

selecting further analysis button.
How do NCOs ensure training is Battle Focused?1. What is the purpose of a mission essential task list (METL)?2. How do units establish training for battle rhythm?3. How often should training meetings be conducted?4.

Further Analysis
1. The NCO and commander coordinate the METs, collective tasks, and individual tasks on which the unit will focus during a given
period. The NCO identifies the supporting individual tasks for each collective task.
FM 7-0, para 1-40
The unit’s Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS) provides a resource for this coordination. The CATS contains a
comprehensive listing of all collective tasks cross-referenced to supporting individual tasks by task number and title.
Although NCOs have the primary role in training and sustaining individual Soldier skills, officers at every level are responsible
for training to established standards during both individual and collective training. Commanders apply a battle focus to
training for all capabilities or missions across the range of operations. The operations process guides the unit commander
and all unit leaders through this coordination to achieve battle focus.
2. The purpose of the METL is to provide the organization with a group of mission-essential tasks on which an organization trains to
be proficient in its designed capabilities or assigned mission.
FM 7-0, Para 1-41
Commanders rarely have enough time or resources to complete all necessary tasks. Each commander has to determine
what is essential and then assign responsibility for accomplishment. The concept of mission-essential tasks (METs)
provides the commander a process to provide the unit its battle focus. Each MET aligns with the collective tasks that
support it. All company and higher units have a METL. Units based on a table of organization and equipment (TOE) have an
approved and standardized METL based on the type of unit by echelon. Standardized METLs can be found on the Army
/
Training Network (ATN), Digital Training Management System (DTMS), and CATS. Units that do not have a standardized METL,
like a unit based on a table of distribution and allowances (TDA), develop its METs and METL.
3. Each unit will perform mission analysis to determine how best to meet the commander’s guidance.
FM 7-0, para 1-54
Within a brigade, on receipt of a division CTG, the brigade commander begins mission analysis to determine how best to
meet the division commander’s guidance. Effective collaborative planning ensures that each echelon publishes its plans
well prior to the start of training. Because training relies on units having the right resources available at the right time,
collaborative planning begins early enough in the planning cycle so units have the resources to train when they need them.
4. Brigades conduct training meetings monthly whereas battalions and companies conduct them weekly.
FM 7-0, para 3-32
Training meetings provide the commander and unit leaders a forum to meet periodically to assess past, current, and future
training. Training meetings are among the most important meetings a unit conducts. At company training meetings the
commander assesses training just conducted based on the bottom-up feedback provided by evaluators. At brigade and
battalion levels, training meetings focus on overall longand mid-range planning progress and ensuring that training
resources for subordinate units are coordinated for within the command and at the installation level. Training meetings also
provide a forum for the commander to track and assess unit training plan (UTP) progress and direct modifications to the
plan, as needed
