This list is notexhaustive and should be seen to be a guide only. HFI Foci should refine this listbased upon the structure of their project, the attendees at the relevant HFSG orHFWG and in light of guidance and requests from industry, DEC and Customer 2representatives.• DEC• FOTR• IPT HFI Foci• MLS CG• RN ICG• TES-SA-MA• MTS IPT7.1.3 Individual and Team TrainingThe purpose of training in the Royal Navy is to contribute to the cost-effectivedelivery of the required level of Operational Capability (OC) by preparingpersonnel to be at pre-defined and agreed levels of skill and knowledge. Trainingalso builds cohesion and teamwork and ranges from individual proficiencytraining to the conduct of large Task Force exercises that test command andcontrol and the application of doctrine. Training enables personnel and units tocontinue to operate in the confusion and stress of combat beyond a predefined(raw) capability.Training must be provided for individual users and maintainers, for sub-teams,full and command teams in order to support the delivery of OC. Team trainingplays a critical role in enabling the service to meet its objectives of increasedoperational effectiveness with fewer personnel. In particular, the need to changeNov 2006 Page 7-5 Issue 4
