PREFACE
This mission training plan (MTP) provides the Active (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) training manager with a descriptive, mission-oriented training program to train the unit to perform its critical wartime operations. While general defense plan missions and deployment assignments impact on the priorities, the operations described here are the principal ones that the Engineer Team, Quarry (75TPH) (LC) is expected to execute with a high level of proficiency. Each unit is expected to train, as a minimum, to the standards of the training and evaluation outlines (T&EOs) in the MTP. Standards for training may be more difficult but may not be lowered. This document is in alignment with and part of the United States (US) Army's training and tactical doctrine.
This MTP applies to the Engineer Team, Quarry (75TPH) (LC) table of organization and equipment (TOE) 05520LC00.
The proponent of this publication is Headquarters (HQ), US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Send comments and recommendations on Department of Army (DA) Form 2028 directly to Commander, US Army Maneuver Support Center, ATTN: ATZT-DT-WF-E, Directorate of Training

CHAPTER 1
Unit Training
1-1. General. This MTP provides the commander and leaders with guidance on how to train the key missions of the unit. The specific details of the unit's training program will depend on the-
•
Unit's mission-essential tasks list (METL).
•
Chain-of-command's training directives and guidance.
•
Unit's training priorities.
•
Availability of training resources and areas.
1-2. Supporting Material. This MTP describes a critical wartime mission-oriented training program. In addition to collective tasks, the training program includes references to soldier training publications (STPs) for the appropriate military occupational specialty (MOS) and skill levels.
1-3. Contents. This MTP is organized into six chapters and three appendixes.
a.
Chapter 1, Unit Training, provides the explanation and organization of this MTP. This chapter explains how to use this MTP in establishing an effective training program.
b.
Chapter 2, Training Matrixes, shows the relationship between the mission and the collective tasks.
c.
Chapter 3, Mission Outlines/Training Plans, presents a graphic portrayal of the relationship between missions and their subordinate tasks.
d.
Chapter 4, Training Exercises, consists of a field training exercise (FTX). This exercise provides training information and a preconstructed scenario. It can serve as a part of an internal or external evaluation. This exercise may be modified to suit the training needs of the unit
e.
Chapter 5, Training and Evaluation Outlines (T&EOs), provides the training and evaluation criteria for all the tasks that the unit must master to effectively perform its mission. Each task is a T&EO that identifies task steps, performance measures, individual and leader tasks, and opposing forces (OPFOR) counter tasks. Each T&EO is part of a mission and, in various combinations, composes the training exercise in Chapter 4.
f.
Chapter 6, External Evaluation, provides instructions for the planning, preparation, and execution of an external evaluation.
g.
Appendix A, Sample Operation Order (OPORD), contains a sample OPORD to be used with the exercise in Chapter 4.
h.
Appendix B, Threat Analysis, describes the local, regional, and global threats, as well as special situations that impact operations.
i.
Appendix C, Metric Conversion Chart, shows how to convert US and metric measurements. 1-4. Missions and Tasks.
a.
This MTP concerns specific missions found in the TOE and an implied mission that the unit must perform in order to accomplish the specified missions. The critical missions are the focus for the unit.
The commander may supplement these missions with his own. The following is a listing of the missions for the unit:
•
Rock crushing operations.
•
Sustain engineer operations.
•
Unit defense.
•
Unit survivability.
b.
Each of these tasks may be trained individually or jointly with other tasks. Training is based on the criteria described in the T&EOs. Several T&EOs can be trained as a situational training exercise (STX). Various combinations of STXs can be used to develop an FTX for the unit to practice its entire mission responsibility. Several STXs can be developed into an external evaluation that is designed by the next higher echelon to evaluate the unit's ability to perform multiple missions under stress in a realistic environment.
c.
Squad tasks are trained in much the same way as described above. However, the squad leader must also train the drills provided in the drill book.
d.
Leader tasks that support the unit's missions are trained through STP training, battle simulations, and execution of the unit's missions.
e.
Individual tasks that support unit tasks are mastered by training to standards outlined in the appropriate STPs. The T&E0s in Chapter 5 show the individual tasks that support collective-task training.
1-5. Principles of Training. This MTP is based on the training principles explained in Field Manual (FM) 25-100.
1-6. Training Strategy. The training program developed and executed by the engineer battalion to train to standards in its critical wartime missions will be a component of the Army's Combined-Arms Training Strategy (CATS). The purpose of CATS is to provide direction and guidance on how the total Army will train and identify the resources required to support that training. The CATS will provide the tools that enable the Army to focus and manage training in an integrated manner. Central to the CATS is a series of proponent-generated unit and institutional strategies that describe the training events and resources required to facilitate training to standard. The CATS will be embedded in the Standard Army Training System (SATS) version 4.1 and higher. The Web site for this information is http://www.atsc.armv.mil/atmd/strac.
a.
The unit training strategies central to the CATS provide the commander with a descriptive "menu" for training reflecting that while there is an optimal way to train to standard, it is unlikely that all units in the Army will have the exact mix of resources required to execute an optimal training strategy.
b.
The unit's training strategy is a descriptive training strategy that provides a means for training the battalion to standard by listing required training events, critical training gates, training event frequencies, and training resources. The commander selects from this MTP those tasks required to train his METL. The training strategies to be provided in the SATS 4.1 will provide the means whereby those tasks that can be trained through a focused and integrated training plan.
c.
The unit's training strategy will be comprised of three separate training strategies. When integrated with the training tasks found in this MTP, they form a comprehensive and focused training strategy that allows the unit to train to standard. The elements of the unit's training strategy are-
(1)
Maneuver- and collective-training strategy. The maneuver strategy is intended to provide a set of recommended training frequencies for key training events in a unit and depicts those resources that are required to support the training events.
(2)
Gunnery strategy. The gunnery strategy is based on weapons systems found in the unit and is intended to provide an annual training plan and to depict resources required to support weapons training. Data for the gunnery strategy comes from the Standards in Training Commission (STRAC) manual or the appropriate FM publications.
(3)
Soldier strategy. The soldier strategy provides an annual plan for training and maintaining skills at the individual level and lists the resources required to train a soldier.
d.
A vital element in the unit's training strategy is the identification of critical training gates. Critical training gates are defined as training events that must be conducted to standard before moving on to a more difficult or resource-intensive training event or task. Training gates follow the crawl, walk, run training methodology. For instance, if the unit training strategy calls for conducting an FTX, and an STX has been identified as a critical training gate for the FTX, the training tasks in the STX must be trained to standard before conducting the FTX. Standards for all tasks must be clearly defined so that the trainer can assess the preparedness of the soldiers, or units, to move on to more complex training events. The provision for critical training gates is made recognizing that the unit's METL and the commander's assessment of his unit's training status will determine the selection and timing of the collective-training exercises in a specific unit's training strategy.
e.
When developing the unit's training plan, the commander identifies from the MTP the training tasks required to train his METL.
1-7. Conducting Training. This MTP is designed to facilitate planning, preparing, and conducting unit training as explained in FMs 25-100 and 25-101. The commander—
a.
Assigns the missions and supporting tasks for training based on his METL and guidance from the next higher HQ. Trainers must plan and execute training to support this guidance.
b.
Reviews the mission outline in Chapter 3 to determine whether STXs and FTXs provided will support, or can be modified to support, command guidance. If they do not support the guidance, or if they need to be modified, refer to the matrixes in Chapter 2. These matrixes provide a list of all critical collective tasks, drills, and individual tasks that must be mastered to perform the mission.
c.
Prioritizes the tasks that need training. There is never time to train everything. You must orient on the greatest challenges and the most difficult sustainment skills.
d.
Integrates training tasks into the training schedule, using the following procedures:
(1)
List the tasks in the priority and frequency that they need to be trained.
(2)
Determine the amount of time required and how you can use multiechelon training for the best results.
(3)
Determine where the training can take place.
(4)
Determine who will be responsible for what. The leader of the element being trained must always be involved.
(5)
Organize needs into blocks of time and training vehicles.
e.
Approves the list of tasks to be trained and schedules them on the unit's training schedule.
f.
Determines the equipment and supplies needed to conduct the training.
g.
Keeps subordinate leaders informed and oversees their training. The standards must be rigidly enforced.
1-8. Force Protection.
a. Safety. Safety is a component of force protection. Commanders, leaders, and soldiers use risk assessment and risk management to tie force protection into the military around the mission. Risk management assigns responsibility, institutionalizes the commander's review of operational safety, and leads to decision-making at a level of command appropriate to the risk. The objective of safety is to help units protect combat power through accident prevention, which enables units to win fast and decisively, with minimum losses. Safety is an integral part of all combat operations. Safety begins with readiness that determines a unit's ability to perform its METL to standard. Readiness standards addressed during METL assessment are--
(1)
Soldiers with the self-discipline to consistently perform tasks to standard.
(2)
Leaders who are ready, willing, and able to enforce standards.
(3)
Training that provides skills needed for performance to standard.
(4)
Standards and procedures for task preferences that are clear and practical.
(5)
Support for task preference, including equipment, personnel, maintenance, facilities, and services.
b.
Risk management. Risk management is a tool that addresses the root causes (readiness shortcomings) of accidents. It assists commanders and leaders in not only identifying what the next accident is going to be, but also helps identify who will have the next accident. Risk management is a way to put more realism into training without paying the price in deaths, injuries, or damaged equipment.
c.
Chain of command. Safety dem ands total chain-of-command involvement in planning, preparing, executing and evaluating training. Responsibilities of the chain of command include—
(1)
Commanders.
(a)
Seek optimum, not adequate, performance.
(b)
Specify the risk you will accept to accomplish the mission.
(c)
Select risk reductions provided by the staff.
(d)
Accept or reject residual risk, based on the benefit to be derived.
(e)
Train and motivate leaders at all levels to effectively use risk-management concepts.
(2)
Staff.
(a)
Assist the commander in assessing risks and developing risk-reduction options for training.
(b)
Integrate risk controls in plans, orders, METL standards, and performance measures.
(c)
Eliminate unnecessary safety restrictions that diminish training effectiveness.
(d)
Assess safety performance during training.
(e)
Evaluate safety performance during after-action reviews (AARs).
(3)
Subordinate leaders.
(a)
Apply consistently effective risk-management concepts and methods to the operations they lead.
(b) Report risk issues beyond your control or authority to your superiors.
(4)
Individual soldiers.
(a)
Report unsafe conditions and acts: correct the situation when possible.
(b)
Establish a buddy system to keep a safety watch on one another.
(c)
Take responsibility for personal safety
(d)
Work as a team member.
(e)
Modify your own risk behavior.
d.
Steps. Risk management is a five-step cyclic process that is easily integrated into the decisionmaking process outlined in FM 101-5. The risk management process consists of the following five steps:
(1)
Identify hazards. Identify the most probable hazards for the mission.
(2)
Assess hazards. Analyze each hazard to determine the probability of it causing an accident and the probable effect of the accident. Identify control options to eliminate or reduce the hazard. The Army standard risk assessment matrix in Figure 1-1 is a tool to be used for assessing hazards.
(3)
Make risk decisions. Weigh the risk against the benefits of performing the operations. Accept no unnecessary risks, and make any remaining risk decisions at the proper level of command.
(4)
Implement controls. Integrate specific controls into operation plans (OPLANs), OPORDs, standing operating procedures (SOPs), and rehearsals. Communicate controls to the individual soldier.
(5)
Supervise. Determine the effectiveness of controls in reducing the probability and effect of identified hazards, to include follow-up and MR. Develop lessons learned.

e.
Fratricide. Fratricide prevention is a component of force protection and is closely related to safety. Fratricide is the employment of weapons, with the intent to kill the enemy or destroy his equipment, that results in unforeseen and unintentional death, injury, or damage to friendly personnel or equipment. Fratricide is by definition an accident. Risk assessment and risk management are mechanisms used to control the incidence of fratricide.
f.
Causes of fratricide. The primary causes of fratricide are—
(1)
Direct fire control plan failures. These failures result when units fail to develop defensive and, particularly, offensive fire control plans.
(2)
Land navigation failures. These failures result when units stray out of sector, report incorrect locations, and become disoriented.
(3)
Combat identification failures. These failures include gunners or pilots being unable to distinguish thermal and optical signatures near the maximum range of their sighting systems and units in proximity mistaking each other for the enemy under limited-visibility conditions.
(4)
Inadequate control measures. These occur when units fail to disseminate the minimum maneuver and fire support control measures that are necessary to tie control measures to recognizable terrain or events.
(5)
Reporting communication failures. Units at all levels face problems in generating timely, accurate, and complete reports as locations and tactical situations change.
(6)
Weapons errors. Lapses in individual discipline lead to charge errors, accidental discharges, mistakes with explosives or hand grenades, and similar incidents.
(7)
Battlefield hazards. Unexploded ordnance (UXO), unmarked or unrecorded minefields, scatterable mines (SCATMINEs), and booby traps litter the battlefield. Failure to mark, record, remove, or anticipate these hazards increases the risk of friendly casualties.
g.
Results. Fratricide results in unacceptable losses and increases the risk of mission failure. Fratricide undermines the unit's ability to survive and function. Units experiencing fratricide observe these consequences:
(1)
Loss of confidence in unit leadership.
(2)
Increase of self-doubt among leaders.
(3)
Hesitation to use supporting combat systems.
(4)
Oversupervision of units.
(5)
Hesitation to conduct night operations.
(6)
Loss of aggressiveness during fire and maneuver.
(7)
Loss of initiative.
(8)
Disrupted operations.
(9)
General degradation of cohesiveness, morale, and combat power.
1-9. Environmental Protection. Protection of natural resources has continued to become an everincreasing concern to the Army. It is the responsibility of all unit leaders to decrease and, if possible, eliminate damage to the environment when conducting training. Environmental risk management parallels safety risk management and is based on the same philosophy. Environmental risk management consists of the following steps:
a.
Identify hazards. Identify potential sources for environmental degradation during analysis of mission, enemy, terrain, troops, time available, and civilian considerations (METT-TC) factors. This requires identification of environmental hazards. An environmental hazard is a condition with the potential for polluting air, soil, or water and/or destroying cultural and historical artifacts.
b.
Assess the hazard. Analyze the potential severity of environmental degradation using the environmental risk assessment matrix (Figure 1-2). Consider the severity of environmental degradation when determining the potential effect an operation will have on the environment. The risk impact value is defined as an indicator of the severity of environmental degradation. Quantify the risk to the environment
resulting from the operation as extremely high, high, medium, or low, using the environmental risk assessment matrix.

e.
Implement controls. Implement environmental protection measures by integrating them into plans, orders, SOPs, training-performance standards, and rehearsals.
f.
Supervise. Supervise and enforce environmental-protection standards.
1-10. Evaluation. The T&EOs in Chapter 5 describe standards that must be met for each task.
a.
Evaluations can be either internal or external. Internal evaluations are conducted at all levels, and they must be inherent in all training. External evaluations are usually more formal and are normally conducted by a HQ two levels above the evaluated unit. See Chapter 6 for more information on external evaluations.
b.
A critical weakness in training is the failure to evaluate each task every time it is executed. The ARTEP concept is based on simultaneous training and evaluation. Too often, leaders do not practice continuous evaluation. Soldiers or small units are trained to perform a task to standard, and then later, when they execute that task as part of a training exercise, they execute it poorly or incorrectly and are not corrected. For this program to work, trainers and leaders must continually evaluate training as it is being executed.
c.
Leaders should emphasize direct, on-the-spot evaluations. Correcting poor performance during individual or small-group training is easy to do. In higher-level exercises, it is usually not feasible to do this with outside evaluators, but should not be totally eliminated. Plan AARs at frequent logical intervals during the exercises (usually after the completion of a major subordinate task). This is a proven technique that will allow you to correct performance shortcomings while they are still fresh in everyone's mind. Also, it gets everyone involved and prevents the reinforcement of bad habits.
d.
FM 25-101 provides detailed instructions for conducting an AAR. It also provides detailed guidance on coaching and critiquing during training.
1-11. Feedback. Recommendations for improvement of this ARTEP MTP are requested. Feedback will help to ensure that this MTP answers the training needs of units in the field. Please send DA Form 2028 comments to the address reflected in the preface, or use the questionnaire provided at the end of this MTP.

CHAPTER 2
Training Matrixes
2-1. General. The training Matrix assists the commander in planning the training of his unit's personnel.
2-2. Mission to Collective Tasks Matrix. This matrix (Figure 2-2), identifies the missions and their supporting collective tasks. The tasks are listed under the appropriate BOS which are indicated by an X in the matrix. The BOS used in this matrix are defined in TRADOC Pam 11-9. A specific mission is trained by identifying collective tasks in the vertical column for the mission. Based on the proficiency of the unit, training is focused on operational weaknesses.
The mission identification table listed below (Figure 2-1) provides mission identification for the unit.

CHAPTER 3
Mission Outlines/Training Plans
3-1. General. The mission outline illustrates the relationship between the missions and their support tasks. Each outline provides the trainer with a diagram of the unit's mission, sample FTXs and STXs, and the collective tasks that comprise them.
3-2. Mission Outlines. Since unit training is mission-oriented, the mission outline shows how task training contributes to the unit's ability to perform its missions. The mission outlines, Tables 3-1 through 3-6, provide the commander with a visual outline of his unit's missions in a format that facilitates the planning and management of training.

CHAPTER 4
Training Exercise
4-1. General. Training exercises are used to train and practice the performance of collective tasks. This MTP contains a sample STX. It is designed to assist in developing, sustaining, and evaluating the unit's mission proficiency. Table 4-1 lists the STX by exercise number, title, and page number.

4-2. Situational Training Exercise. STXs are short, scenario-driven, mission-oriented, tactical exercises used to train a group of closely related collective tasks. The STX provides the information for training the missions that make up the critical wartime mission. The STX-
a.
Provides repetitive training of missions.
b.
Allows the training to focus on identified weaknesses.
c.
Allows the unit to practice the mission STX before conducting a higher-echelon FTX.
d.
Saves time by providing most of the information needed to develop a vehicle for training.
ENGINEER PLATOON
STX
5-2-E0001
BREACHING OBSTACLES
1.
Objective. This sample STX trains collective, leader, and individual tasks in the platoon's operation (breaching obstacles).
2.
Interface. This STX supports the company FTX 5-2-E0001 requirement to conduct combat operations.
3.
Training.
a.
Individual training. This training should be based on the soldier's manual tasks required to support this STX. Use the individual-to-collective task matrix in Chapter 2 as a source for these individual tasks. Individual training is based on the tasks, conditions, and standards in the 12B and the soldier's common tasks manuals. Training should be hands-on and performance-oriented. During training, leaders assess soldier proficiency by evaluating task performance against the soldier's manual standards then providing feedback to the soldiers. The individual training and evaluation program includes common task tests and the commander's evaluations.
b.
Collective training. This training should be based on the collective tasks required for the STX. Battle drills and STXs are key tools for squad and platoon collective training. As with individual tasks, drills should be trained to standard with feedback provided. Collective tasks that could support this STX and mission (as well as other missions) are in the mission-to-collective task matrix in Chapter 2.
c.
Leader training. This training should be based on the leader tasks required for the exercises as well as the individual tasks. Leader tasks are trained in the same manner as stated in paragraph 3a or by one or. all of the following methods. When material and facilities are not available, innovation is the answer. Do not limit training to the methods listed below.
(1)
Classroom discussions on how to plan the exercise and how to implement unit's SOP.
(2)
A map reconnaissance assists in terrain analysis and war gaming. (Use a map of the area where the STX is to be conducted.)
(3)
Terrain board or sand table exercises permit simulations or miniatures to be used to gain three-dimensional perspectives in war gaming or rehearsals. (Model the terrain board or the sand table to match the terrain where the exercise will be conducted.)
(4)
Tactical exercises without troops (TEWTs) allow leaders to train on the ground, practicing land-navigation movement, reporting, and other leader actions.
(5)
Simulations and games teach leaders as part of a continuing officer and noncommissioned officer (NCO) development program.
(6)
Training extension courses use audiovisual equipment to present information and demonstrate how tasks are performed to standard.
d.
Training tips and instructions. The following are training tips and general instructions on how to prepare for and accomplish the STX:
(1)
Know the requirements for breaching obstacles, marking obstacles, and tactical movement.
(2)
Conduct a leader's reconnaissance of the training area with squad leaders to ensure that you do not make time-consuming mistakes.
(3)
Review the standards for the T&EO that supports this exercise.
(4)
Conduct this STX using one of the following options:
(a)
With ammunition, without ammunition, or using live fire. The use of ammunition is encouraged to add more realism to the exercise.
(b)
With or without the Multiple Integrated Laser-Equipment System (MILES). The MILES provides better feedback and should be used if it is available.
(c)
Under all environmental conditions, both day and night and with or without NBC. These scenarios should involve an active NBC environment.
(5)
Ensure that this STX is initially trained and rehearsed slowly, on open terrain, during good visibility, and with frequent explanations and critiques by leaders. This simple execution, combined with a thorough prebrief and "chalk talks" constitutes the "crawl" stage of STX training. The "walk" phase of this STX entails conducting the training at closer to normal rates, on more difficult terrain, and with stops for explanation and critique only when problems occur (expect for planned AARs). During the "run" phase, the STX is executed under conditions as close as possible to those expected in combat (including full operational security [OPSEC] and camouflage, realistic time frames and distances, challenging terrain, and aggressive OPFOR, NBC environment, and movement distance). This exercise is conducted at full speed after conducting building block training (individual training and drills) to reach the run level of execution.
(6)
Ensure that the T&EO standards for this exercise (from Chapter 5) are met to obtain the maximum benefits from the training.
(7)
Conduct this exercise on a recurring basis to sustain proficiency: however, since many of the T&EOs in this STX will be trained in other STXs, practice may occur through integration rather than retraining the STX.
(8)
Ensure that the OPFOR replicates enemy forces in size and strength to portray threat activities realistically.
(9)
Assign at least one evaluator to control OPFOR activities. The evaluator evaluates OPFOR actions, ensures realism, stresses safety, and assesses loss and damage. If the OPFOR are in groups for several simultaneous actions, additional OPFOR evaluators or controllers are necessary.
(10)
Ensure that OPFOR units look and fight like a potential enemy. This will help soldiers understand threat tactics, doctrine, and weapons systems.
e.
Training enhancers. This STX requires the platoon to breach an obstacle, move tactically, support by fire, and mark an obstacle.
(1)
When basic proficiency is attained for the tasks in this STX, the STX may be conducted under limited visibility conditions, both with and without night vision devices (NVDs).
(2)
This STX can be conducted under increasing MOPP levels as proficiency increase.
4. General Situation.
a.
Contact with the enemy obstacle has been established. Initial reports indicate that the obstacle is overwatched by a company-sized element. His defensive positions are not well established. He has the capability for indirect fire and close air support (CAS). The enemy has used chemical weapons and will probably do so again. A breach of the obstacle has been ordered to allow maneuver forces to move through to attack the enemy. Figure 4-1 illustrates the graphic scenario of task performance in this exercise.
b.
This exercise begins with the receipt of a company fragmentary order (FRAGO) by the platoon and ends after the obstacle is marked. An MR should be held after the obstacle has been breached and marked. A final AAR should be conducted once all evaluation notes are compiled. If necessary, run portions of the exercise again until you are satisfied with your platoon's performance. Table 4-2 provides a recommended sequence of T&EOs and a recommended time for each portion of the STX.

1.
These tasks are integrated and evaluated throughout the exercise.
2.
Events will be trained to standards, not time limitations. The time required to train an event will vary based on METT-TC factors and the unit's training proficiency.
3.
Additional time may be required if great portions of the exercise are conducted at night or during other limited visibility.
* NOTE: These tasks are integrated and evaluated throughout the exercise.
5. Special Situation.
a.
Your platoon is part of a company in a secure AA. The platoon receives a FRAGO to breach obstacles (see Figure 4-2).
b.
The company commander has ordered your platoon to lift your supporting fires. A sister platoon is prepare to provide support for the breach and marking of the obstacle. The company commander orders your platoon to breach the obstacle.
6. Support Requirements.
a.
Minimum trainers and observers/controllers (Os/Cs). The company commander or the platoon leader can conduct this exercise and will be the trainer and primary evaluator. At least one other 0/C is required with the OPFOR. Another platoon being trained or evaluated should be used as the platoon supporting the breach operations. This platoon will need an additional trainer or 0/C.
b.
Vehicles/communications. Those organic to the platoon are needed for this exercise. Two or three vehicles or trailers should be in the OPFOR supply site.
c.
Opposing forces. The OPFOR ground force should at least be a reinforced squad.

CHAPTER 5
Training and Evaluation Outlines
5-1. General. This chapter contains the T&EOs for the unit. T&EOs are the foundation of the MTP and the collective training of the unit. T&EOs are training objectives (task, conditions, and standards) for the collective tasks that support critical wartime operations. The unit must master designated collective tasks to perform its critical wartime operations. T&EOs may be trained separately, in an STX, in an FTX, or in live-fire exercises. For collective live-fire standards, the trainer needs to refer to the applicable gunnery manual for the appropriate course of fire. Those standards and courses of fire need to be integrated into the training exercise.
5-2. Structure. The T&EOs in this chapter are listed in Table 5-1. The mission-to-collective task matrix in Chapter 2 lists the T&EOs required to train the critical wartime missions according to their specific BOS.
5-3. Format. The T&EOs are prepared for every collective task that supports critical wartime operation accomplishment. Each T&EO contains the following items:
a.
Element. This identifies the unit or unit element(s) that perform the task.
b.
Task. This describes the action to be performed by the unit, and provides the task number.
c.
References. These are in parenthesis following the task number. The reference that contains the most information (primary reference) about the task is listed first and underlined. If there is only one reference, it is not underlined.
d.
Iteration. This is used to identify how many times the task is performed and evaluated during training. The "M" identifies when the task is performed in mission-oriented protection posture (MOPP) 4.
e.
Commander or Leader Assessment. The unit's leadership uses this to assess the proficiency of the unit in performing The task to standard. Assessments are subjective in nature. Therefore, use all available evaluation data and subunit-leader input to develop an assessment of the organization's overall capability to accomplish the task. Use the ratings listed below.
(1)
T - Trained. The unit is trained and has demonstrated its proficiency in accomplishing the task to wartime standards.
(2)
P - Needs practice. The unit needs to practice the task. Performance has demonstrated that the unit does not achieve the task to standard without some difficulty or has failed to perform some task steps to standard.
(3)
U - Untrained. The unit cannot demonstrate an ability to achieve wartime proficiency.
f.
Task Conditions. This describes the situation or environment in which the unit is to do the collective task.
g.
Task Standards.
(1)
The task standard states the performance criteria that a unit must achieve to successfully execute the task. This overall standard should be the focus of training and should be understood by every soldier.
(2)
The trainer or evaluator determines the unit's training status using performance observation measurements (where applicable) and his judgment. The unit must be evaluated in the context of the METT-TC conditions. The conditions should be as similar as possible for all evaluated elements. This will establish a common base line for unit performance.
h.
Task Steps and Performance Measures. This is a list of actions that are required to complete the task. These actions are stated in terms of observable performance for evaluating training proficiency. The task steps are arranged sequentially along with supporting individual task and their references. An asterisk (*) to the left of the step number indicates the leader tasks within each T&EO. Under each task step are listed the performance measures that must be accomplished to correctly perform the task step. If the unit fails to correctly perform one of these task steps to standard, it has failed to achieve the overall task standard.
i.
GO/NO-GO Column. This column is provided for annotating the platoon's performance of the task steps. Evaluate each performance measure for a task step and place an X in the appropriate column. A major portion of the performance measures must be marked a GO for the task step to be successfully performed.
j.
Task Performance/Evaluation Summary Block. This block provides the trainer with a means of recording the total number of task steps and performance measures evaluated and those evaluated as GO. It also provides the evaluator with a means to rate the unit's demonstrated performance as a GO or NO-GO. It also provides the leader with a historical record for five training iterations.
k.
Supporting Individual Tasks. This is a listing of all supporting individual tasks required to correctly perform the task. The reference number, tasks number, and task title for each individual task are listed.
I.
OPFOR Tasks. These standards specify overall OPFOR performance for each collective task. The standards ensure that the OPFOR soldiers accomplish meaningful training and force the training unit to perform its task to standard or "lose" to the OPFOR. The OPFOR standards specify what must be accomplished—not how it must be accomplished. The OPFOR must always attain its task standards, using tactics consistent with the type of enemy they are portraying.
5-4. Usage. The T&EOs can be used to train or evaluate a single task. Several T&EOs can be used to train or evaluate a group of tasks such as an STX or FTX.

b.
Practiced the safety procedures during all mission rehearsals.
c.
Made on-the-spot safety corrections. NOTES:
1.
Safety is a part of realism—and realism includes building safety into the training so that safe practices, which eliminate accidents, become second nature during war (refer to Field Manual [FM] 25-100).
2.
FM 3-0 emphasizes the need for boldness and that commanders must take "risks and tenaciously press soldiers and systems" as an imperative of the Air Land Battle. However, such an imperative is founded on the premise that protecting the force to the maximum extent possible ensures winning the battle. Formally, risk is an expression of possible loss over a specific period of time or number of operational

CHAPTER 6
External Evaluation
6-1. General. An external evaluation assesses the unit's ability to perform its mission. Using units may modify this evaluation based on the METT-TC and other considerations as deemed appropriate by the commander. Selected T&EOs from Chapter 5 that involve the total unit and employ a realistic OPFOR and the use of the MILES are used for the evaluation. At the completion of the evaluation, the commander can identify the strengths and weaknesses of his unit. These strengths and weakness are the basis for future training and resource allocations.
6-2. Preparing the Evaluation. The commander must standardize evaluation procedures to accurately measure the unit's capabilities. Table 6-1 is a sample evaluation scenario that contains the mission as well as the appropriate tasks necessary to develop the scenario and execute the evaluation. Figure 6-1 is a graphic representation of the scenario. Selective tailoring is required because it is not possible to evaluate every task. The following procedures are suggested for developing the evaluation:

6-4. Selecting and Training Observers/Controllers. A successful evaluation depends heavily on selecting Os/Cs with the proper experience, training them to fulfill their responsibilities, and supervising them throughout the conduct of the evaluation.
a. The following are minimum rank and experience requirements for Os/Cs:
(1)
The company 0/C will be an officer with company command experience.
(2)
Platoon or section Os/Cs will be lieutenant or an NCO with platoon or section experience.
(3)
The recorder will be an officer or an NCO at the evaluation control HQ who receives "kill" information or results and time data from the Os/Cs.
b.
A thorough knowledge of the unit's mission, organization, equipment, and doctrine is required by the Os/Cs. They must understand the overall operation of the unit and how it is integrated into and supports the force-protection operations. Team members must have a working knowledge of the common individual and collective tasks in areas such as local-defense convoy procedures, communications, and NBC. One member of the team must have detailed expertise in the NBC and localdefense common task areas. The Os/Cs should be equal in grade to the person in charge of the element they are evaluating and they should have previous experience in the position being evaluated. All team members must be able to make objective evaluations, function effectively as a team member, and state their findings in writing and briefings.
c.
0/C training focuses on providing Os/Cs with a general understanding of the overall evaluation, providing each 0/C with a detailed understanding of specific duties and responsibilities and on building a spirit of teamwork. The 0/C training includes—
(1)
The overall evaluation design, general scenario, master-events list, and specific evaluation purposes and objectives.
(2)
The unit's METL and its linkage to the T&EOs and other materials contained in this ARTEP MTP.
(3)
The 0/C team composition and general duties and responsibilities of each team member.
(4)
The detailed responsibilities of individual team members with special emphasis on the master-events-list items that are their responsibility. This includes—
(a)
A review of written instructions and materials contained in the Os/Cs folders.
(b)
A detailed reconnaissance of the area used for the evaluation.
(c)
The 0/C communications, and command and control (C2) systems.
(d)
Safety procedures.
(e)
Evaluation data-collection OPLAN and procedures.
(f)
AAR procedures and techniques.
(5)
A talk-through of the entire evaluation, which includes war-gaming all items of the masterevents list in order of their occurrence and a review of each team member's responsibilities and anticipated problems.
d.
The senior 0/C supervises the operation of the team. He provides the team leadership, focuses his efforts on ensuring that the Os/Cs fulfill their responsibilities and adhere to the evaluation plan, resolves problems, synchronizes the efforts of the team members, ensures close coordination among team members, holds periodic team-coordination meetings, plans and orchestrates the unit's AAR, and conducts specific evaluation-team AARs.
Selecting and Training Opposing Forces. The OPFOR support for an external evaluation of the unit
6-5.
is limited to two squads of dismounted infantry and two to five individuals who serve as enemy agents.
Although OPFOR support is only used for some tasks, proper training and employment of this force is
important to ensure a proper assessment of the unit's capabilities.
a.
The OPFOR commander should be a company grade officer or senior NCO who is well trained in OPFOR tactics and operations. In addition to the duties and responsibilities in leading various OPFOR elements, the OPFOR commander serves as a part-time member of the 0/C team. In order to fulfill 0/C responsibilities, the OPFOR commander must participate in 0/C planning and training activities. He must be present during AARs.
b.
OPFOR elements are trained, organized, and equipped to operate in a manner that depicts threat forces as realistically as possible. Their training includes—
(1)
Threat tactics and rules for engagement.
(2)
OPFOR missions and responsibilities.
(3)
OPFOR tasks and standards.
(4)
Threat weapons and equipment, if available.
(5)
C2.
(6)
Safety.
6-6. Conducting the Evaluation. The senior 0/C has overall responsibility for conducing the evaluation. He orchestrates the overall evaluation and the support provided by the various individuals and elements that are specially selected and trained to fulfill designated functions and responsibilities.
a.
Os/Cs must be free to observe, report, and record the actions of the unit.
b.
The HQ two echelons above the unit being evaluated should select and train the control element for the evaluation. They issue orders, receive reports, provide feeder information, and control the OPFOR. •
c.
All exercise participants and supporting personnel must ensure that every facet of the evaluation is conducted in a safe manner. Personnel observing unsafe conditions must take prompt action to halt them and advise their superiors of the situation.
6-7. Recording External Evaluation Information.
a.
The senior 0/C is responsible for implementing the evaluation scoring system. Although the final evaluation is made up by the senior 0/C, the full team participates in this process. Their reports reflect the overall ability of the combat engineer unit to accomplish its wartime missions.
b.
The evaluation scoring system is based on an evaluation of the unit's performance of each
mission-essential task and any other collective task contained in the overall evaluation plan. Use the
following four steps for the evaluation:
(1)
Identify the ARTEP MTP T&EOs that correspond to each of the evaluation-plan tasks.
(2)
Use T&E0 standards to evaluate the unit's performances of the tasks. This is done for each evaluation-plan task.
(3)
Record on the T&EO a GO for each performance measure performed to standard and a NO-GO for each performance measure not performed to standard.
(4)
Record the unit's overall capability to perform the task by using GO/NO-GO information recorded on each T&EO. Use the following definitions as guidance in making this determination:
(a)
GO - the unit successfully accomplished the task or performance measure to standards.
(b)
NO-GO - the unit did not accomplish the task or performance measure to standard.
c.
Use other locally produced reports that are approved by the senior 0/C and prescribed in the evaluation plan to collect the evaluation information. These reports assist the team in recording the information concerning the unit's capability to perform its wartime mission according to the established standards. This information will assist the senior 0/C to determine the unit's overall final rating. The reports listed below can be used to collect the information.

6-8. After-Action Reviews. AARs provide direct feedback to unit members by involving them in the diagnosis process and by enabling them to discover for themselves what happened during the evaluation. In this way, participants identify errors and seek solutions that increase the value of the training and reinforce learning.
a.
The senior 0/C is responsible for the AAR process. He coordinates the entire AAR program from the initial planning of the evaluation through the after-actions phases.
b.
Key steps in the MR process are—
(1)
Planning. Planning for AARs is initiated in the exercise preparation activities long before the start of the action evaluation. AARs are integrated into the general scenario at logical break points and into the detailed evaluation scenario that is developed subsequently. Qualified Os/Cs are selected and trained in the MR process as part of 0/C training. This phase also includes the identification of potential AAR sites and the requisition of equipment and supplies needed to conduct the MR.
(2)
Preparation. MR preparation starts with the beginning of the actual evaluation. In addition to observing the unit performing its critical tasks, this phase includes the review of the training objectives, orders, and doctrine. Final MR site selection is completed and times and attendance are established. MR information is gathered from applicable Os/Cs and unit personnel. The MR is organized and rehearsed.
(3)
Conduct. AARs are conducted at logical breakpoints in the exercise and at the end of the evaluation. When MR participants have assembled, the MR begins with the senior 0/C introducing the session with a statement of the MR purpose, the establishment of the MR ground rules and procedures, and a restatement of the training and evaluation objectives. A successful MR includes the following guidelines:
(a) AARs are not critiques but professional discussions of training events.
(b)
The senior 0/C guides the discussion in a manner that ensures that participants openly discuss the lessons.
(c) Dialogue is encouraged among Os/Cs and unit personnel.
(d)
All individuals who participated in the evaluation are present for the MR, if possible. As a minimum, every unit or element that participates in the exercise is represented.
(e)
Participants discuss not only what happened, but also how it happened and how it could have been done better.
(f)
Participants review the sequence of the events associated with the hazards and the risk assessment made before the exercise. As a minimum, the review should address hazards that presented themselves (but were not identified) and each incident of fratricide or near fratricide and how it could be avoided in the future.
(g)
Events not directly related to major events are not examined.
(h)
Participants do not offer self-serving excuses for inappropriate actions.

OPERATION ORDER
(classification)
FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY
Operation Order .20 . Copy.of.copies
Task Organization:
1. SITUATION.
a.
Enemy Forces. Contact with the enemy has been broken. The enemy has withdrawn deep to the rear. He is being reinforced and is preparing to counterattack within 24 hours. The enemy is expected to use nonpersistent nerve agents. Enemy air is expected to be active in the area. Latest intelligence summary (INTSUM) indicates that the enemy may have a company-size strong point in the brigade sector. Enemy units occupying the combat outpost are half strength. Counterattacking forces are expected to be full strength.
b.
Friendly Forces. 5th Division attacks to secure Objective Richmond, and then assists passage of the exploitation force (24th Division). This operation will rapidly penetrate the main defensive belt to draw the 10th Independent Tank Regiment (ITR) south and fix it in a zone.
(1)
Missions of units on left and right flanks, as required.
(2)
Supporting engineer unit missions, as required.
(3)
Supporting fires. 4th Battalion is in direct support.
2.
MISSION. 25th Brigade conducts a passage of lines and attacks to secure Objective Richmond. On order, the 25th Brigade continues movement forward of Phase Line (PL) Green.
3.
EXECUTION.
a. Concept of the Operation. See the overlay developed by the trainer.
(1)
Maneuver. 25th Brigade departs AA NK 243567 and conducts a passage of lines through the elements of 3rd Division. It conducts a penetration with two task forces (TFs), with one TF following as the brigade's reserve. TF A will be the main effort and attack along Axis Oak. TF B attacks along Axis Pine and is the supporting attack. On order, TF C (trailing along Axis Oak) becomes the main effort and continues the attack to Objective Richmond. The intent is to gain contact with the enemy, locate, and fix his main body so that the division can conduct envelopments to destroy him. It is necessary to destroy his combat outposts. We must quickly reorganize and continue movement until we find the main body. The TF that makes initial contact will attempt to fight through and destroy the enemy. If they cannot, they will provide a base of fire for maneuver by the remainder of the brigade. Movement will continue to PL Green if no contact is gained, and past PL Green, on order.
(2)
Fire support. The priority of fires is to TF A initially and to the TF in contact once contact is
made.

Figure A-1. Sample OPORD (continued) APPENDIX B - THREAT ANALYSIS
B-1. Introduction.
a.
Dramatic changes in Europe and within the former Soviet Union have reduced the likelihood of an east-west military confrontation in Europe. The threat in Europe has not gone away completely, but it is less immediate and changed in nature. Despite reductions, Russia will still have the largest army in Europe. Regardless of the stated peaceful intentions of current Russian political leaders, the Russian Armed Forces still possesses formidable capabilities, and those capabilities will remain, should conditions and intentions change. Other former Soviet republics are forming their own armed forces and could pose threats to each other or to other countries in the region. In this time of turmoil and uncertainty, the former Soviet military power remains a potentially dangerous challenge to US and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) security. However, this remnant of the former Soviet threat is just one of many.
b.
Many other nations are obtaining or developing sophisticated weaponry. Various regional conflicts could cause the US to intervene bilaterally or as part of a multinational coalition to protect our interests or those of our allies. Other potential conflict areas could call for a variety of responses by either the US or the former Soviet republics or both. The threat may come in an organized military form, which may or may not follow the former Soviet model. It may also come in the form of insurgencies, terrorism, or narcotics trafficking. The US Army needs to be prepared to respond to this broad spectrum of potential threats that it could encounter in various contingencies.
B-2. Global Threats. Modern weapons and the capability to project military power to great distances beyond its own national borders would characterize a global-type threat, such as the former Soviet one. Against such a potential adversary, the threat to rear operations would include the following:
•
Armored or mechanized forces breaking into our rear area.
•
Airborne, airmobile, or amphibious assault forces inserted into our rear area.
•
Long-range artillery, surface-to-surface missiles, or air strikes targeting rear-area assets.
•
NBC weapons.
•
Radio-electronic combat aimed at jamming or destroying our communications means and
disrupting our C 2.
• Agents and saboteurs.
B-3. Regional Threats. Regional threats, such as Iraq or North Korea, have less capability to project power. However, they may have some of the same weapons and organizations as a global threat. In fact, lessening superpower tensions are contributing significantly to the proliferation of sophisticated weaponry to emerging nations. This applies not only to conventional ground and air weapons, but also to chemical and nuclear weapons and missile systems. A mature regional power, possibly with a global power as a major source of its military hardware, emphasizes the ability to project its forces throughout a given region.
B-4. Local Threats. Local threats have even more localized objectives and little capability to project
power beyond their own borders or their immediate neighbors. They generally have less modern
equipment than global or regional threat powers or at least a limited variety of modem weapons. Their
equipment may include modem small arms and light artillery (mortars, howitzers, gun-howitzers, and
rocket launchers), but often does not include sophisticated weapons such as long-range conventional
artillery or high-performance aircraft. A local threat may be heavily supported by a regional threat or even
by a global power. In the past, for example, Cuba assisted Soviet-backed movements in Angola,
Nicaragua, and Ethiopia. This outside influence will often be reflected in the equipment, organization, or
tactics of the local threat forces. However, the actions of a local threat are often limited to insurgencies, civil wars, or border disputes. Insurgents, especially those with outside help, may be able to purchase modem weapons, but may not have developed a logistics base able to sustain continuous conflict. Therefore, they often concentrate on guerrilla tactics, sabotage, assassinations, booby traps, or explosives to achieve their objectives.
8-5. Special Situations.
a. The threat in special situations includes terrorism. Terrorism may satisfy the objectives of different types of threats discussed above. Terrorists are the least likely threat to use conventional forces and thus are the hardest to anticipate or to train against. Terrorist tactics include the following:
•
Assassinating or maiming.
•
Arson.
•
Bombing.
•
Hijacking, kidnapping, or hostage-taking.
•
Raids and seizure of facilities.
•
Sabotage.
•
Hoaxes (such as bomb threats).
Aside from these threats, terrorists may also be able to obtain weapons of mass destruction. A political leadership that supports terrorism, as in Iraq, may control such NBC weapons. If nuclear weapons are too difficult to obtain, terrorists may instead employ chemical or biological weapons to reach their goals.
b. Narcotics trafficking is another special-condition threat. It may be supported or tolerated by a global power for political or economic reasons. It may also be tied in with regional or local threat powers or with terrorism. There is often a marriage of convenience between insurgent groups and the drug cartels. The cartels can spend significant amounts of money on the latest in technology for communications and security to protect their operations. They can also buy weapons and otherwise finance regional insurgencies and cross-border conflicts.
B-6. Bottom Line. The threat to rear operations includes all of the above categories. These threat categories are not mutually exclusive and may overlap with one another.
