This SOP is designed to establish policy and procedures that address Individual Training. This SOP applies to all personnel assigned and attached to this unit. As used in this SOP, “individual” and “soldier” are used interchangeably and include all personnel regardless of rank. The SOPs philosophy: The primary training goal of any military unit is to be prepared to execute its wartime mission. To this extent, it is the responsibility of this unit and it’s command to ensure all personnel are capable of performing their wartime function. Permitting anything less is a disservice to the individual soldier, the National Guard, and the United States, in addition to being a waste of valuable military resources. There are three major components required to fulfill our primary training purpose.
- Our Soldiers must be properly trained in both their duty Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and common soldier tasks. (Individual Training)
- Teams/sections/squads capable of properly utilizing their personnel to complete their wartime missions as prescribed by the unit’s METL. (Collective training)
- Competent leaders capable of effectively employing individuals and sub-units to achieve the maximum combat potential of the unit. (Leader Development)
