Chapter 1 1-2 TC 3-09.8 30 March 2020 Commander's FA Safety Certification/Qualification Program or standard operating procedure, but should inform and be integrated into those Commanders' programs and documents. 1-2. Units execute effective individual and collective training based on the Army's principles of training. See ADP 7-0 for a discussion of each of these principles: Train as you fight. Training is commander driven. Training is led by trained officers and noncommissioned officers. Train to standard. Train using appropriate doctrine. Training is protected. Training is resourced. Train to sustain. Train to maintain. Training is multi-echelon and combined arms. FIELD ARTILLERY HOME STATION TRAINING STRATEGY 1-3. The Field Artillery Home Station Training Strategy, figure 1-1 on page 1-3, identifies the logical progression of tables to train, certify and qualify the FA System. Each level includes training, certification and qualification requirements as well as requirements for external evaluation (EXEVAL) at echelon from individual through battalion. This framework serves as a guide for commanders to develop their training plan and assists in nesting that plan with their maneuver counterparts and commanders. Due to personnel turbulence and other operational environment considerations, commanders should execute disciplined initiative within the tables to leverage training events to generate the most readiness across the FA System. Level 1: Individual Skill Proficiency (Artillery Tables I) Level 2: Team and Crew Proficiency (Artillery Tables II-VI) Level 3: Initial Collective Training (Artillery Tables VII-XII) Level 4: Intermediate Combined Arms Collective Training (Artillery Tables XIII-XV) Level 5: Advanced Combined Arms Collective Training (Artillery Tables XVI-XVIII) Note. Figure 1-2 on page 1-5, is an example of a way (Division Artillery (referred as DIVARTY) or equivalent) could adapt the home station training strategy to best fit the operational environment of its supported unit.
