Success is linked to the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of reporting from subordinate units to higher headquarters. Most friction experienced by BCTs at NTC is directly proportional to reporting. Reporting feeds running estimates and drive updated statuses on the CUOPS floor. Here is an example:Įxercise your battalion’s PACE by periodically changing the system by which they report. Mirror your home station reporting schedule and requirements as closely as possible to your TACSOP.

If security or technical challenges prevent reporting via tactical systems, ensure that you use the same formats that you use in the field. And do it like you do in combat, via tactical systems. If you require a report in combat, you need to make a habit of sending and receiving it at home. And, Part IV will explore how we can inject the friction imposed by the DA fight into home station training to challenge our staffs to respond. We will examine how to get repetitions of MDMP outside of dedicated CPXs and major training events in Part III. This is the second of a multi-part series on the practical steps we can take to train our battle staffs outside of major collective events.
