The Joint Readiness Training Center

The United States military is downsizing, becoming a more fit and agile military. Due to this action the Army has come up with a program to place Soldiers in a field that they can perform at their maximum capacity physically and mentally. This program is called Soldier 2020, it is in its final testing stages even though parts of this program have already been integrated into TRADOC.

According to Army ADP 6-0, mission command is the exercise of authority and direction by the commander, using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander’s intent, to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations (CAPE, 2012). Effective mission command can generally be analyzed according to the six principles outlined in ADRP 6-0. The six principles of mission command are to: build cohesive teams through mutual trust, create shared understanding, provide a clear commander’s intent, exercise disciplined initiative, use mission orders, and accept prudent risk (CAPE, 2012). This paper provides a brief overview of the

The 201st Regiment (MF) Regional Training Institute (RTI) Staff and Faculty understand that coordination with the facility manager does not constitute a final approval. Coordination assures the RTI Commander that the facility manager can support this request. Further, staff and faculty will not start conducting any use of this facility until the organization receives approval from the G-3 Deputy Commander and Troop Command Commander.

During the latter part of FY16 and the beginning of FY17, the EEOCA cadre successfully conducted three Institutional Army Warfighter Assessments (IAWAs) designed to test the validity of the proposed curriculum. Substantive changes were instituted throughout the IAWA process and the finished version of POI 16.0 is pending approval and validation. Since the IAWA process, there has been a graduate rate of 64% and a total of 270 Soldiers will be trained during FY17. The desired outcome is a course that better meets the needs of all components, reduces resources, and trains the critical tasks to

During a major exercise in preparation for an upcoming deployment, I was tasked to lead the Joint Task Force Operation Center. The exercise requires the integration of many parties who are not part of the same countries (or even a team). As the facilitator, I knew I had to go about this by wearing my creative worker hat to make this a successful exercises. Therefore, being the person that will bring this all together, I knew I must exercise leadership in a highly ambiguous context. The exercise did not have no clear yardstick for how the mission should perform and there are were no clear rules for who gets to control the output. With that being said, I became that effective leader by creating a share purpose in these ambiguous circumstances

Troopers became familiar with individual collective tasks that support the commander’s mission essential task list and operational tempo. The performed tasks include civil disturbance formations, control force operations and how to communicate effectively during a riot.

The Phoenix Battalion planned, organized, and conducted a realistic and dynamic Active Shooter exercise that encompassed all facets emergency and first responders on Fort Leonard Wood. The exercise is a semi-annual event geared towards Protecting the Force through improved cooperation and communication between all agencies. HHD and Battalion staff facilitated the event, with the responding MPs coming from the 988th MP CO along with the SRT, EOD, CID and FLW Department of Emergency Services. Also, The 463rd "Solid Warriors" continued to forge the future through their support of NTC 15-10. CPT Michael Howard returned from NTC this week after watching his Soldiers in action performing duties as OPFOR and OC/Ts ISO 984th Military Police Company.

People fill their summers with vacations at all-inclusive resorts, road trips or afternoons at the park. That’s true for many Soldiers as well. However, for nearly 200 Soldiers in the 364th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), they also fit in more than 14 days of tough and realistic annual training at the Combat Support Training Exercise 86-15-03 this year at Ft. McCoy, Wis.

The United States military is becoming more diverse. This includes its own ranks. Not only is there joint operations within the U.S. military’s own units and branches, but now it is a globalized world. The military must learn to work with other foreign forces and other government agencies. With this leaders must be able to work with all these entities. One way to do this is the use of Mission Command.

As stewards of our profession, commanders ensure that military expertise continues to develop and be passed on to aspiring professionals through operational development. It is during this developmental phase that Professional Soldiers put their knowledge and skills to the test. Operational Army units certify and recertify their Professional Soldiers through repetitive and realistic training events including the Combat Life Saver Course, platoon live fires, and exercises at the National Training Center. In the course of these challenging and realistic experiences, the Army’s operational units develop Soldiers and leaders prepared to maintain high standards, discipline, and operational readiness. Operational development and adaptability will continue to drive changes in Army doctrine, organization, leadership, and education as we enter the post-war era. Without this kind of development, the Army could not maintain a well-disciplined professional fighting force.

JROTC Program has changed greatly over the years. The only purpose that was once looked up was the study of ethics, citizenship, communications, and life skills and last but not least leadership. From just having 6 units in 1916 to now having over 1645 units in schools today and having more than 281,000 cadets. The Cadet Command is comprised of eight brigades, each brigade is responsible for a geographical and/or functional area. 1st Brigade, headquartered at Fort Knox, Kentucky, is responsible for Army ROTC battalions at military colleges. The brigade is also responsible for planning and carrying out the Leader's Training Course and Leader Development and Assessment Course. 2nd Brigade, headquartered at Fort

Hoping that everything is going great at your end. I would like to seek guidance in order to facilitate information to our commander. Currently our Battalion Commander is evaluating and reviewing the Task and Performance/METL for each courses, in order to provide an accurate information to improve the facilitation of training. I will appreciate all the guidance that could be provided in this matter and the Task and Performance/ METL that have been developed for 11B10, 11B2,3,4 and 11B30

During Phase I of the course, leaders are trained on common core skills and leader development, with emphasis on Army Writing leadership, physical fitness, property accountability, NCOER's equal opportunity, train the force, and risk management.

To facilitate mission command within my organization, I must first support and complement the commander’s authority and direction in exercising mission command. Next, I must ensure the Soldiers in my organization understand mission command and their role in enabling mission command. By supplementing the commander in their execution of and mentoring
