M100 STUDY GUIDE FINAL PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED
◉ Weapons Qualification. Answer: ‒ 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. Answer: ‒ *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). Answer: ‒ Free of
significant shortcomings; unit's shortcomings require minimal
training to meet the Army standard
,◉ P Practiced (basic task proficiency). Answer: The unit's
shortcomings may require significant training to meet the Army
standard
◉ U Untrained (cannot perform task). Answer: The unit requires
complete training on the task to achieve the Army standard
◉ mission-essential task (MET). Answer: a collective task an
organization trains to be proficient in its designed capabilities or
assigned mission
◉ A mission-essential task list (METL). Answer: a tailored group of
METs
◉ Standardized METL. Answer: 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. Answer: 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. Answer: is the observation of performance measured
against a standard
◉ assess training. Answer: done by commanders
◉ External Evaluation (EXEVAL). Answer: ‒ 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. Answer: 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. Answer: collective tasks that support
other collective tasks (MET, battle task, or another collective task).
◉ Battle tasks. Answer: 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. Answer: collective tasks for battalion and higher
staffs that are selected and prioritized based on the unit's MET
priorities
◉ Individual tasks. Answer: identified and prioritized by NCOs to
support prioritized collective training
◉ Leader tasks. Answer: selected and prioritized in focused leader
development activities nested with the echelon's prioritized METs or
battle tasks
◉ Principles of Training. Answer: 1. Commanders are the primary
trainers
2. Noncommissioned officers train individuals, crews, and small
