QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Weapons Qualification - ✔✔‒ Individual/crew-served/special purpose/platform
weapon qualification proficiency is achieved by unit's qualifying on its organic weapons
‒ Measured by "Qualified" or "Not Qualified" against respective weapons training
circulars achieved by the unit executing specified collective tasks while simultaneously
employing its organic weapons systems in a live-fire environment
✔✔Collective live-fire task proficiency - ✔✔‒ *Group 1: company or larger deployable
units that can independently execute a collective task under live-fire conditions
‒ *Group 2: other deployable units that cannot independently execute a collective task
under live-fire conditions. (e.g. Quartermaster Rigger Support Team, Medical Units)
‒ Proponent developed collective live-fire tasks
‒ Measured by training proficiency ratings and respective weapons training circulars
✔✔T Trained (advanced task proficiency) - ✔✔‒ Free of significant shortcomings; unit's
shortcomings require minimal training to meet the Army standard
✔✔P Practiced (basic task proficiency) - ✔✔The unit's shortcomings may require
significant training to meet the Army standard
,✔✔U Untrained (cannot perform task) - ✔✔The unit requires complete training on the
task to achieve the Army standard
✔✔mission-essential task (MET) - ✔✔a collective task an organization trains to be
proficient in its designed capabilities or assigned mission
✔✔A mission-essential task list (METL) - ✔✔a tailored group of METs
✔✔Standardized METL - ✔✔o Standardized for company and higher units (TOE)
o Units w/o a standardized METL develop their own
o Standardized METLs are available through ATN
-FROM BIG ARMY
✔✔Assigned Mission METL - ✔✔o Brigade and higher echelons may receive an
assigned mission that does not fit
neatly within their standardized METL
o Through mission analysis and commanders' dialogue, the unit identifies additional
METs critical to the success of the mission
-From HHQ for deployment
✔✔Evaluation - ✔✔is the observation of performance measured against a standard
✔✔assess training - ✔✔done by commanders
✔✔External Evaluation (EXEVAL) - ✔✔‒ Planned and resourced two echelons above
the evaluated unit
‒ Conducted by leaders outside the evaluated unit's chain of command
‒ Also used to validate readiness for an operational deployment or to validate readiness
for a specific mission
‒ Regular Army units will conduct EXEVALs at least annually
‒ METs require an EXEVAL be conducted for commanders to
assess a T proficiency
✔✔High-payoff tasks - ✔✔tasks that support more than one of the organization's METs
or battle tasks
‒ The skills and proficiencies achieved training a high-payoff task transfers to other
mission essential tasks or battle tasks that it supports
‒ Leaders recognize and capitalize on the training efficiencies gained by identifying
high-payoff tasks
✔✔Supporting collective tasks - ✔✔collective tasks that support other collective tasks
(MET, battle task, or another collective task).
, ✔✔Battle tasks - ✔✔echelons below company (platoons, squads, crews, teams, other
small units) collective tasks that are critical to the successful accomplishment of
prioritized company METs
✔✔Staff battle tasks - ✔✔collective tasks for battalion and higher staffs that are
selected and prioritized based on the unit's MET priorities
✔✔Individual tasks - ✔✔identified and prioritized by NCOs to support prioritized
collective training
✔✔Leader tasks - ✔✔selected and prioritized in focused leader development activities
nested with the echelon's prioritized METs or battle tasks
✔✔Principles of Training - ✔✔1. Commanders are the primary trainers
2. Noncommissioned officers train individuals, crews, and small
teams; advise commanders on all aspects of training
3. Train using multi-echelon techniques to maximize time and
resource efficiency
4. Train as a combined arms team
5. Train to standard using appropriate doctrine
6. Train as you fight
7. Sustain levels of training proficiency over time
8. Train to maintain
9. Fight to train
✔✔CATS (Combined Arms Training Strategies) - ✔✔Task based-event driven
strategies that help identify and sequence training events to build unit training plans
✔✔Digital Training Management System (DTMS) - ✔✔Army's system of record for
capturing training planned and completed - from unit level to individual Soldier
Provides leaders with an end-to-end view of current unit training status - at all echelons
Entry point for the CATS planning tool - the ability to develop, record and modify training
strategies
✔✔RSOI stands for - ✔✔• Reception
• Staging
• Onward movement
• Integration
✔✔Force Packaging - ✔✔Package the force in increments that produce desired/rapid
building of combat power in theater against the anticipated threat.
