Jones Published 2 May Engineering Abstract : In preparing a battalion to be deployed into a theater of war, the specific items on which training is focused become critical.

Figures from this paper. Citation Type. It provides the necessary guidelines on how to plan, execute, and assess training at all levels. The manual provides authoritative foundations for individual, leader, and unit training.
Individual training must develop soldiers who are proficient in battlefield skills, disciplined, physically tough, and highly motivated. Leader training is an imperative for every echelon; it is an investment in the Army of today and tomorrow. Unit training must prepare our forces for the rigors of the battlefield. The Army must be trained and ready in peacetime to deter war, to fight and control wars that do start, and to terminate wars on terms favorable to US and allied interests.
The complex world environment and the sophisticated military capabilities of potential adversaries, to include the Soviet Union, its allies, and a number of well-armed developing nations, have removed the time buffer the United States previously enjoyed that allowed it to mobilize and train to an adequate level of readiness before engaging in combat operations.
As recent events have illustrated, our nation's ability to deter attack or act decisively to contain and de-escalate a crisis demands an essentially instantaneous transition from peace to war preparedness.
This requires that all leaders in the Army understand, attain, sustain, and enforce high standards of combat readiness through tough, realistic multi-echelon combined arms training designed to challenge and develop individuals, leaders, and units. The key to fighting and winning is an understanding of "how we train to fight" at every echelon. Training programs must result in demonstrated tactical and technical competence, confidence, and initiative in our soldiers and their leaders.
This manual has application for leaders at all levels and for every type organization. The principal focus is on Active and Reserve battalion equivalent and higher level commanders, their command sergeants major, and staffs.
