NEAR-TERM TRAINING PLANSNear-term planning is primarily conducted at battalion, company, and platoon levels. Itsmain purpose is to conduct final coordination and to provide specific guidance tothe units.a. Training meetings should be held at battalion, company, and platoon levels so allkey personnel understand detailed information.(1) Battalion meetings focus on training management. Leaders--(a) Conduct final coordination of ranges, training areas, and ammunition.(b) Coordinate between units for maintenance, medical, logistical, andpersonnel requirements.(c) Lock in and publish unit-training schedules.(2) Company and platoon meetings cover the specifics of executingthe training event. Participants--(a) Discuss when the training will be conducted, to include movement timesto the training area.(b) Discuss personnel involved in the training event, and identify who isresponsible for conducting the training.(c) Discuss in detail the BFV range setup, execution, and key individualresponsibilities (Chapter 5).(d) Discuss training location, uniforms, and special equipment required toconduct training.(e) Discuss specific personnel performance measures to be evaluated.b. Commanders should require briefbacks to ensure subordinate leaders understandall aspects of the training event.c. The formal training plan culminates with the training schedule. Commanders,key leaders, and all trainers must continue to plan and coordinate training informally witha series of pre-execution checks. Additionally, trainers, soldiers, and support personnelmust thoroughly prepare for training.(1) Pre-execution checks systematically prepare soldiers, trainers, and resourcesto ensure that training starts properly. These checks are developed, and responsibility forthem assigned, during short-range planning. FM 7-1 includes an example pre-executionchecklist. To develop an intensive pre-execution checklist, trainers should integrate rangeand training area checks and considerations from Chapter 5.(2) Commanders prepare trainers to conduct performance-oriented training byproviding time, guidance, resources, and references. Each trainer rehearses hispreparations and reviews the tasks and subtasks that he must conduct. This gives himconfidence in his ability to perform the task himself, and to teach soldiers thecorrect skills.3-12
