Chapter 1 1-16 TC 3-09.8 30 March 2020 1-33. Mission essential tasks are collective task that are assessed through the use of training and evaluation outlines. Several unit mission essential tasks can and will be evaluated during the execution of the FA Home Station Training Strategy’s Artillery Tables as outlined in this TC. For example the collective task, “Conduct Battalion Fire Missions (06-BN-5001)” is a DA Standardized mission essential task for all FA battalions. When an FA battalion conducts an artillery table XVII or XVIII event, this mission essential task is evaluated; and therefore, its evaluated assessment can be used in reporting the battalion’s next training readiness assessment. For the evaluation of a collective task, the training and evaluation outlines ‘stands alone’ as the approved standard for the collective task and the supporting collective tasks’ training and evaluation outlines are not aggregated to the supported collective task. COLLECTIVE LIVE-FIRE PROFICIENCY 1-34. Collective live-fire task proficiency is based on evaluation of a collective task(s) trained and evaluated under live-fire conditions and standards as defined in the task(s) training and evaluation outlines. Collective live-fire tables are a unit’s unique diagram that depicts the collective live-fire training exercises (live-fire exercise, combined arms live fire exercise, fire coordination exercise) for live-fire progression from the lowest collective training echelon (e.g. Section) to the battalion level (e.g. BN). Artillery tables are directly linked to the collective live fire exercise requirements for most FA units. Figure 1-6 below identifies the qualification criteria for a FA Battalion Composite organization. As previously mentioned in paragraph 1- 21, notice the mission essential task for Conduct Battalion Fire Missions (06-BN-5001) is the overall evaluated collective task during Artillery Tables XVIII.
