Pat,

Empower your NCOs to create a plan that fits their Squad/Team. You pay them to lead so make them lead their Soldiers, especially at PT. As a PL, your job is to ensure your leaders are challenging their troops and making them better. Also, like any plan, double check it and make sure it makes sense. If a squad is struggling with their run times, it doesn’t make sense if they go to the gym 4 times a week. By empowering your NCOs you will create PT plans that are focused on the lowest level and you will help grow strong NCOs who know how to plan and coordinate events. Also, your NCOs will love that you let them take charge of their team.
