STP 9-94P1-SM-TG program by consciously focusing on a reduced number of METL tasks that are essential to mission accomplishment. a. Linkage between METL and STP. A critical aspect of the battle focus concept is to understand the responsibility for and the linkage between the collective mission essential tasks and the individual tasks that support them. For example, the commander and the CSM/1SG must jointly coordinate the collective mission essential tasks and supporting individual tasks on which the unit will concentrate its efforts during a given period. This task hierarchy is provided in the task database at the Reimer Digital Library. The CSM/1SG must select the specific individual tasks that support each collective task to be trained. Although NCOs have the primary role in training and sustaining individual soldier skills, officers at every echelon remain responsible for training to established standards during both individual and collective training. Battle focus is applied to all missions across the full spectrum of operations. b. Relationship of STPs to Battle-focused Training. The two key components of any STP are the soldier's manual (SM) and trainer’s guide (TG). Each gives leaders important information to help implement the battle-focused training process. The trainer’s guide relates soldier and leader tasks in the MOS and skill level to duty positions and equipment. It states where the task is trained, how often training should occur to sustain proficiency, and who in the unit should be trained. As leaders assess and plan training, they should rely on the trainer’s guide to help identify training needs. (1) Leaders conduct and evaluate training based on Army-wide training objectives and on the task standards published in the soldier's manual task summaries or in the Reimer Digital Library. The task summaries ensure that -- * Trainers in every unit and location define task standards the same way * Trainers evaluate all soldiers to the same standards (2) Table 1-1 shows how battle-focused training relates to the trainer’s guide and soldier's manual: * The left column shows the steps involved in training soldiers. * The right column shows how the STP supports each of these steps. 1 October 2014 1-7
