  • Single page, week-by-week checklist/glidepath for helping resource/plan training events.

    • Team- Good product. The only additional comment I would make is to make sure you have a deliberate retraining and recovery plan. It is mentioned on this checklist but over the years I have seen even the greatest units forget to make retraining and recovery a deliberate process that is vital to learning/unit proficiency.

      Retrain:
      During your mission analysis think about those critical areas that might go wrong or go better than expected. Too often our schedule is back to back and due to time/land/resource constraints we accept that we trained good enough. Have time scheduled in the plan for deliberate retraining. Or, in a more positive scenario, you trained to standard ahead of time and you can now move on to a higher level collective tasks or continue to add additional conditions to make it more challenging (adding MOPP 4 for example)

      If you are doing squad STX lanes and you have planned for it to take 4 days, schedule it for 5 or 6 to truly allow for you to retrain the units. If you don’t need those days then turn those into your recovery days. Give yourself the space to allow for retraining.

      Recovery (post combat checks and inspection)
      This has to be deliberate and a good TTP is to encourage an inspection from your higher two levels up. If you did a platoon LFX and head back to the company area and you are conducting recovery then ask the company commander to have the BN CDR/CSM/XO to come and stop by your platoon. Great time to reinforce the importance of proper recovery and maybe a chance for recognition of some of your stellar performers. Don’t rush to complete recovery- take the time to do proper cleaning of equipment with the proper solvents/cleaning equipment found in the back of the TM (-10). Fill out the 2404 and get the broken equipment turned in to the first level repair so they can get inputted in the SAMS box and a 5988 generated. And then follow up and track it until completion. Also, don’t forget your OCIE layouts during recovery and if there is a field loss/damage now is the time to bring it up to your company commander so you can complete the supply action with CIF.
