• Training is the Army’s number one (#1) priority.
• Company training meetings are key to near-term planning and are non-negotiable.
• Accordingly they appear on the weekly training calendar.
• Training meetings create the bottom-up flow of information regarding specific training proficiency needs of the unit and individual soldiers.
• Training meetings are conducted by leaders to review past training, identify & plan necessary retraining, plan & prepare future training, & exchange timely training information between leaders.
Company Training Company Training MeetingsMeetings

Company training meetings review completed training, de-conflict training issues, plan & prepare future training, & exchange timely training information between participants.
Training meetings are NOT a forum for discussing administrative operations & activities. Training is the sole topic.
The training meeting focuses on three (3) key tasks—
1. Assessing completed training to determine the effectiveness of individual, leader, & collective training conducted since the last training meeting.
2. Coordinating near-term training to confirm specific instructions and details to conduct the training.
3. Planning for short-range training to develop future training plans that refine the short-range training plan.

TRAINING SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT:
Commanders receive input from all platoons & other elements of the company before formulating the draft training schedule. Because of support limitations or other conflicts, the commander may have to disapprove a training event that a platoon requested, or move it to another week or month. Once all conflicts are resolved, the commander develops a rough draft of the next training schedule.
Training schedules are then developed at company level and approved (& consolidated/de-conflicted) by battalion.

TRAINING SCHEDULESTRAINING SCHEDULES
The Company Commander signs the training schedule, which identifies the specific unit training needs that have been planned.
The Battalion Commander then signs the training schedule, thereby giving it final approval.
The Battalion Commander’s signature finalizes the training “contract,” and verifies that necessary resources will be provided.
Once the Battalion Commander approves and the signs the training schedule, it is locked in and constitutes an official order.
Only the approving authority can authorize changes to the training schedule.
For example, the Battalion Commander is authorized to approve changes to an approved & signed company, battery, or troop training schedule. Higher headquarters must protect subordinate units from un-programmed events, activities, & other distracters.
