Executive Summary

TRAINING MANAGEMENT

NCOs are directly responsible for training individual Soldiers, crews, and small teams. The

Army training principles provide a broad but essential foundation to guide NCO leaders as they

plan, prepare, execute, and assess sustained and effective training. This competency includes:

risk management, preparing an 8-step outline, conducting individual training, and the art and

science of training from squad to brigade level.

Training Management Examples

1) Ensure training is properly planned, resourced, rehearsed, and executed.

2) Ensure subordinate leaders conduct proper physical readiness training and have a

training plan for the APFT and the ACFT.

3) Ensure Soldiers know and understand Commander’s intent, mission requirements, and

the reason for the training event(s).

4) Understand, teach, and implement the 8-Step Training Model.

5) Set and enforce standards during all training events.

6) Tailor training to develop subordinate leaders keeping within the scope of Mission

Command philosophy.

7) Eliminate or minimize training detractors, discipline the training management process.

develop a training plan.
