OCS Army training management latest 2023 graded A

OCS Army training management latest 2023 graded A Institutional Training Domain includes Army centers/schools that provide in-itial training and subsequent functional and professional military education and training for Soldiers, military leaders, and Army Civilians. Operational Training Domain encompasses training activities that unit leaders schedule, and individuals, units and organizations undertake. The self-development training domain. includes planned and goal-oriented learning that reinforces and expands the depth and breadth of an individual's knowledge base and self-awareness. Self-development bridges learning gaps between the operational and institutional domains and sets conditions for continuous learning and growth Commanders and other Leaders are responsible for training •Unit commanders are responsible for training. They ensure their units are capable of accomplishing their missions. While commanders are the unit's overall training manager, subordinate leaders have responsibility for the proficiency of their respective organizations and subordinates Non-Commissioned Officers train individuals, crews and small teams •Noncommissioned officers (NCOs) are the primary trainers of enlisted Soldiers, crews, and small teams. NCOs take broad guidance from their leaders; identify the necessary tasks, standards, and resources; and then plan, prepare, execute, and assess training. Non-Commissioned Officers train individuals, crews and small teams part 2 •NCOs help officers train units. NCOs develop and conduct training for their subordinates, coaching other NCOs, advising senior leaders, and helping develop junior officers. Leaders allot sufficient time and resources, and empower NCOs to plan, prepare, execute, and assess training with their Soldiers based on the NCO's analysis of identified strengths and weaknesses. Train to Standard each individual and collective task has standards of performance. A standard is the accepted proficiency level required to accomplish a task. Mastery, the ability to perform the task instinctively, regardless of the conditions, is the desired level of proficiency. Train and Maintain Maintaining is training. Maintenance training has clear, focused, and measurable objectives. Regular, routine maintenance training tends to instill discipline in individuals. Well-disciplined individuals properly care for themselves and their equipment. Organizations tend to perform maintenance during operations to the standards they practice in training. Train and Maintain part 2 Leaders instill in their subordinates an appreciation of the importance of personal and equipment maintenance through their presence, personal example, and involvement in maintenance training. Train and Maintain part 3 Soldiers learn stewardship of Army resources during training. Leaders and subordinates are responsible for protecting resources. Good stewardship avoids costly and unnecessary expenditures for replacements and helps ensure that people and equipment are available and ready to deploy. Conduct multi-echelon and concurrent training Multi-echelon training is a training technique that allows for the simultaneous training of more than one echelon on different or complementary tasks. It optimizes the use of time and resources to train more than one echelon simultaneously. Commanders ensure subordinate units have the opportunity to train their essential tasks during the higher unit's training event while still supporting the higher echelon's training objectives. lead by example Everything a leader does and says is scrutinized, analyzed, and often imitated. What leaders do and say influences the behaviors, attitudes, and performance of their subordinates. Good leaders understand they are role models for others and demonstrate the desired leader attributes and core leader competencies. Development Subordinate Leaders Leaders have the responsibility to develop subordinate leaders. All leaders need to understand if they are meeting standards. Leaders observe and assess subordinates. Much like an after action review, they facilitate discussions to help subordinates self-discover strengths and weaknesses and ways subordinate leaders can sustain and improve their performance, skills, knowledge, abilities, and behaviors. Development Subordinate Leaders part 2 Leaders provide challenges in training to enhance their subordinates' capabilities and performance, allowing subordinates to rise to the level of expectations. Leaders ensure their subordinates attend professional military education at the right time in their careers, obtain functional training as needed, and ensure they get help and support if needed. They counsel all subordinates face-to-face, recognize high performers, and take remedial and disciplinary action as required. Create a learning environment for subordinate leaders Leader growth occurs when subordinates are provided opportunities to overcome obstacles and make difficult decisions. Learning comes from experiencing both success and failure. An environment that allows subordinate leaders to make honest—as opposed to repeated or careless—mistakes without prejudice is essential to leader development and personal growth. Train Leaders in the art and science of Mission Command Commanders train in the art of command and train their staffs in the science of control. Effective leaders conduct operations while exercising mission command. Exercising mission command to manage training not only improves mission command proficiency, but also encourages risk-taking, initiative, and creativity in subordinates. Train to Develop Adaptive Leaders Individuals must excel at a few tasks and then adapt to new tasks. They improve their ability to adapt through exposure to—and the intuition gained from—multiple, complex, and unexpected situations in challenging, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable conditions. Change is inevitable. Agile leaders expect change, develop plans to mitigate the effects of change, and look for indicators of change so that they can ease effects of change. Train Leaders to think critically and creatively The Army develops leaders able to solve difficult, complex problems. Effective leaders comfortably make decisions with only partial information. Critical and creative thinkers Train Leaders to think critically and creatively examples: •Are open-minded and consider alternative, sometimes nonconformist, solutions and the second and third-order effects of those solutions. •Collaborate with others for help in analyzing and war-gaming solutions. •Make timely, informed decisions. •Are adept at honestly assessing their own strengths and weaknesses and determining ways to sustain strengths and overcome weaknesses. Mission Essential Task (MET) A mission-essential task represents a task a unit could perform based on its design, equipment, manning, and table of organization and equipment/table of distribution and allowances mission. Mission Essential Task List (METL) A mission-essential task list is a compilation of mission-essential tasks. Collective Training Unit collective training reinforces foundations established in the institutional training domain and introduces additional skills needed to support the unit's mission and readiness posture. Collective training requires interactions among individuals or organizations to perform tasks that contribute to the unit's training objectives and mission-essential task proficiency Individual Training Training to perform specified tasks related to an assigned duty position and skill level. Training and education prepare individuals to perform assigned tasks to standard, accomplish their mission and duties, and survive on the battlefield. Training on individual tasks occurs in both institutional and unit training. Units continue individual training to improve and sustain individual task proficiency while training on collective tasks. Plan Planning for unit training begins with the commander determining the unit mission, reviewing the unit's METL, and determining the tasks that the unit must perform to support the higher unit's mission Prepare Because the UTP is executed as a series of interrelated training events, each event builds upon the training proficiencies attainted from the previous events, ultimately leading the unit to the commander's visualized training proficiency. Event outcomes are usually a direct reflection of the amount and quality of the preparation that preceded it. Whether training evaluators, conducting rehearsals, or coordinating resources, quality preparation ensures successful event execution and effective unit training and leader development. Execute Leaders must plan, prepare, execute, and assess each training event that supports the UTP. Training meetings and recovery after training are key activities that occur as each training event is conducted. These activities ensure that units execute the UTP and it meets the commander's desired objectives for unit training and leader development. Assess Commanders assess and evaluate all aspects of training—planning, preparation, execution, and ultimate task proficiency. Only the unit commander can assess the readiness of a MET. Assessment refers to the leader's judgment of the organization's ability to perform its METLs and, ultimately, its ability to accomplish its mission. Military Decision Making Process The Army's operations planning method used for commands with a coordinating staff (typically battalion and higher). Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs) The Army's operations planning and execution process for units without a coordinating staff (typically company and platoon). Crawl-Walk-Run Training conducted utilizing this approach allows and promotes objective, standards-based approached to training. Crawl Train each task step in sequence ,Train completely until done correctly. Walk Train to objective standard ,Train with more realist , Work as crews or small units. run Train collectively to achieve and sustain proficiency ,Train under simulated combat conditions ,Develop effective team relationships. Rehearsals allow leaders to •Identify weak points in the plan •Teach effective training techniques •Coach the trainer until they are comfortable •Safety and environmental considerations are met •Leaders are tactically and technically proficient •Determine how the trainer will evaluate the training •Assess subordinate trainer competencies and provide feedback •Give subordinates confidence in their ability to train Training Execution Effective training builds proficiency, teamwork, confidence, and cohesiveness. Effective training is competitive. Efficient and effective training is well structured to increase individual Soldier and leader task proficiency before and during training on collective tasks. •Among the three aspects of leader development— training, education, and experience: •Experience is the most direct and powerful. Subordinates learn by doing. Lessons learned while making mistakes can be the best way to improve as a leader. Commanders give their subordinates the freedom to succeed and learn through their mistakes. The operational environment is not only challenging but also unpredictable... Solving unforeseen problems drives leaders to use critical and creative thinking to find a solution. •Required at Battalion and Company Level Battalion Level focuses on Training Management ,Company Level focuses on the specifics of executing training to standard . Agenda •Review recently completed training •Coordination for future training (near term) •Plan future training (long term) •Output: Training Schedules = Contract with your Subordinates recovery •Inspecting and maintaining equipment and personnel •Accounting for equipment, training support items, and ammunition •Gaining insights on how to make the next exercise better AAR •Review what was supposed to happen (training plans) • Establish what actually happened • Determine what was right or wrong with what happened • Determine how the task should be done differently the next time Training and Evaluation Outlines (T&EO) Summary document that provides information on objectives, evaluation procedures, and performances measures.•Evaluates each subtask of a collective or individual task with a "Go" or "No Go" rating METL Assessment •T - Trained •P - Needs Practice •U - Untrained
