TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01training. Training simulations and capabilities that link to other services, agencies, and nationsfor geographically dispersed training will be essential to develop and sustain combined joint taskforce (CJTF) headquarters training readiness as well as CJTF augmentation elements. Inaddition, future leaders must have training aids and other technologies necessary to facilitate theintegration and training of dissimilar forces, particularly with respect to different levels of C2systems capabilities that complicate information interoperability with coalition forces. Unitsmust have the capability to integrate augmentees and make them part of the team as rapidly aspossible. CTCs will train Army units in a JIM environment so that leaders are trained in thecomplexities of future battlefields; however, units must have training enablers and trainingsupport available to them at home station so that the first time they train in a JIM environment isnot at the CTCs.Managing Unit PerformanceTomorrow, as today, unit commanders, through subordinate leaders, will continue to build onthe learning foundation provided in Army schools by creating and nurturing an organizationalclimate that encourages continuous learning and improvement. Units, as learning organizations,will continue to enable Soldiers to develop their skills, knowledge, and abilities to supportsuccessful execution of the unit’s core and direct mission essential task list. In the future,however, unit commanders will have a greatly improved ability to tailor individual and collectivetraining to the specific needs of their Soldiers because they will have on demand access torelevant performance information on Soldiers in their unit, and the tools needed to plan thenecessary training and performance support.In a full spectrum capable Army, the most valuable intangible commodity in future units willbe time. Unit training management tools will conserve time by making training more efficientand effective. Future unit training management capabilities will build on the Digital TrainingManagement System and the Army’s “Career Tracker” program (which provides a single accessportal for information on a Soldier’s training, education, and experience) by providing thecommander a team/unit level roll-up of Soldier performance information that pinpoints individualand collective skill deficiencies. Tools available to commanders will directly support collectiveperformance assessment and or translate the performance of individuals into a measure ofcollective performance. This capability will enable commanders to select Soldiers for units, TFs,special team assignments, and duty assignments based on skills and proficiency onmission-relevant tasks. Commanders will also be able to preview skill levels of inboundSoldiers, anticipate individual and unit training requirements and plan accordingly during shortreset, retrain windows. Access to diagnostic testing of individual and collective skills will enablecommanders to hone in on skill deficiencies and fine tune individual and collective training tomaximize training efficiency. Ultimately, the future unit training management capability willcontribute to a commander’s assessment of unit readiness for current or predicted missioncontingencies.Future commanders will be able to tailor, and then provide at the right time, the training andperformance support needed by their Soldiers to reach the required level of readiness. Afteridentifying performance deficiencies, unit training management tools similar to digital trainingmanagement system will assist commanders by prescribing effective practice and feedbackevents for individual Soldiers and units. Developing these tools requires an understanding drawn124
