1. 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 abler 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.
