Unit Training Management (UTM) Questions With Complete Solutions

What are the principals of quality training? correct answer: - Commander driven - Protected - Trains leaders as the first priority - Led by trained leaders - Multi-echelon, combined arms always - Physically and mentally challenging - Supported by rehearsals, leader Recons, PCC/PCIs, retraining and recovery - Assessed by commanders and leaders - Performance oriented - Tailored to drive initiative and adaptability - Resourced and realistic - Purposeful, prioritized, and linked to the mission What does Multi-echelon, combined arms always mean? correct answer: Multi-echelon training is a training technique that allows for the simultaneous training of more than one echelon on different or complementary collective tasks. Combined arms training consists of collective training tasks that are jointly conducted by associated warfighting functions and functional units. Example: An infantry unit would require artillery, engineer and other functional support to train to "Conduct a Combined Arms Breach of an Obstacle". This training technique optimizes the use of time and resources to train more than one echelon, multiple warfighting functions and functional units simultaneously and realistically. Why is Quality Training Assessed by commanders and leaders? correct answer: Quality training is assessed by commanders and leaders. Training assessment starts before mission analysis during the development of both the UTP and individual training events. The assessments serve as a measure from which the commander can shape future training. The commander uses his training assessments to determine and focus the tasks he wants to train and expresses these for each training event as training objectives. For the tasks that are assessed as Trained (T), the commander schedules sustainment training. For those with lesser ratings of Needs Practice (P) or Untrained (U), the commander schedules training that ultimately progresses to a "T" assessment (see Chapter 5 for further details). Define Resourced and Realistic? correct answer: These are key components of the operations process as the UTP is developed and as training events are planned and executed. Soldiers and units thrive on challenging, realistic training that is well planned and well led. In order to do that, commanders diligently ensure that the resources to make training realistic and challenging are available when needed. Senior commanders have a special commitment to the unit to ensure that needed training resources for subordinate units are available and interact with installation/home station agencies to resolve any resource issues affecting training. Why are Time and Home Station Resource Constraints relevant to you? correct answer: - You will have to manage the resources to meet the CSA's training strategy for a 24 month ARFORGEN cycle. - Fewer key tasks is better as you build your key collective tasks to train or KCTs. What are the Key Points of ADP 7-0? correct answer: - Superseded FM 7-0 in 2012, CSA approved - Is Army's overarching doctrine for training all Army forces, and developing leaders - Effective training in units and leader development must be top priorities of senior leaders - Applies to all leaders at all organizational levels (AC and RC) - Introduces the concept of Key Collective Tasks (KCT) to focus unit training Through what activities does the Commander drive the unit's training? correct answer: Understand Visualize
