This MTP provides TNSG commanders and staff with a descriptive, mission-oriented training program to train the infantry brigade to perform its critical wartime or activation missions. Although a unit’s missions and deployment assignments impact on the commander’s final set of training priorities, the tasks described herein are the primary ones the Infantry brigade must be able to execute with proficiency. The unit is expected to train all tasks to standard. Standards for training may be made more difficult but may not be lowered. The proponent for this publication is PDO, HQ, TNSG.

General. This Mission Training Plan (MTP) is designed to provide the brigade commander and his staff with a tactical training and evaluation program for the brigade. It also provides guidance about how to train and the key missions on which to train. The specific details of the training program depend on many factors, including: • Unit's Mission Essential Tasks List (METL). • Training directives and guidance established by the chain of command. • Training priorities for the brigade. • Training resources and areas available. 1-2. Supporting Material. The brigade training program fits into the spectrum of activities that also encompasses battalion-level, company-level, platoon-level, leader, and individual training programs. Each MTP contains the following: • Training information. • Training matrixes. • Mission outlines (company and below). Training plans (brigade and higher). • Sample training exercise examples. • Comprehensive detailed Training and Evaluation Outlines (T&EOs). • Evaluation information. Figure 1-1. MTP echelon relationship. 6 TNSGTEP/MTP 7-30 1-3. Contents. This MTP is organized into six chapters and three appendixes. a. Chapter 1, Unit Training, provides the explanation and organization of this MTP. b. Chapter 2, Training Matrixes, presents the relationship between missions and tasks. c. Chapter 3,Training Plans, presents a graphic portrayal of the relationship between critical wartime missions and subtasks inherent to those operations. d. Chapter 4, Training Exercises, provides information on developing training exercises. It provides sample field training exercises (FTXs) and situational training exercises (STXs) to be used by leaders in developing training exercises for their unit. e. Chapter 5, Training and Evaluation Outlines, provides the training criteria for tasks that the brigade must master to perform critical wartime operations. These training criteria orient on the levels of collective training executed by the brigade. Each T&EO can be applicable to one or more operations. In various combinations, the T&EOs comprise larger training exercises such as the FTXs and STXs. f. Chapter 6, External Evaluation, provides instructions for the planning, preparation, and execution of an external evaluation. 1-4. Missions And Tasks. Full spectrum operations include o stability operations, and support operations. Each operation includes major tasks that the brigade must execute to accomplish that mission. It also includes the tasks that each company; platoon, squad, and soldier must perform. Each of these tasks requires training. a. Collective Tasks. Collective tasks are trained based on guidelines and procedures outlined in Field Manual (FM) 7-0 (25-100) and FM 7-10 (25-101) and in Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the applicable MTP. Collective tasks may be trained separately or, like collective tasks and or supporting tasks, may be grouped together. Collective tasks can also be combined with collective tasks of other operational levels to form more complex training exercises. (Refer to Chapter 4 for examples of FTXs and STXs.) Commanders and leaders select the applicable tasks using procedures outlined in FM 7-0 (25-100) and in Chapters 3 and 6 of this MTP. b. Leader Tasks. Leader tasks are trained using soldier's manuals (SMs). Selected leader tasks should support the brigade’s critical wartime operations. Leaders can be trained using the full range of training exercises established by the Army. (For example: map exercises (MAPEXs), tactical exercises without troops (TEWTs), command post exercises (CPXs), FTXs, and so forth). 1-5. Principles of Training. This MTP is based on the training principles outlined in FM 7-0 (25-100). The following paragraphs summarize these concepts. a. Train as a combined arms and service team. Army doctrine places a premium on teamwork. When committed to battle, each unit must be prepared to execute combined arms and services operations without additional training or lengthy adjustment periods. Combined arms proficiency develops when teams train together. Leaders must regularly practice cross-attachments with the full wartime spectrum of combat, combat support (CS), and combat service support (CSS) units. b. Train as you would perform your mission. Conversely, units perform as they have been trained. Soldiers remember the last way they performed a task (right or wrong).
