Bulletin Cover PageFOREWORD

This CTC Quarterly Bulletin focuses on Techniques and Procedures your unit can use, so you have the best chance to "do it right the first time." If the lessons in this bulletin and subsequent CTC Quarterly Bulletins help you avoid making a mistake, then the lessons learned process is working well.

The relevant lessons for the Total Army are there in the field with you. CALL has the mission and the means to share those lessons with the rest of the U. S. Army. This bulletin is one way to do that.

If you or your unit have a "lesson" that could help other units do it right the first time, send it to us. Don't worry about how polished your "article" is. CALL can take care of the editing, format and layout. We just want the raw material that can be packaged, and then shared with everyone.

So take the time to put your good ideas on paper and then get them to CALL. We'll acknowledge receipt and then work with you to put your material in publishable form. It may show up in News From the Front!, a bimonthly publication, or in the CTC Quarterly Bulletin. Select material will also be put "on line" in the Warrior Information Network for computer access.

You can fax your material to DSN 552-9583/coml (913) 684-9583, ATTN: Mr. Rick Bogdan, Military Analyst.

TRAINING NOTES: Before you get into specific articles . . .

CSMs, 1SGs, Platoon Sergeants: Here's a list of individual skills Observer Controllers at the NTC and JRTC say soldiers typically have trouble with. Either the tasks are not done when the situation required or they are just not done to standard.

  • react to chemical attack
  • emplace chemical alarm
  • conduct unmasking procedures
  • prepare range card
  • report enemy information
  • noise, light, litter discipline
  • vehicle maintenance
  • prepare individual fighting position
Company commanders and Platoon leaders: Here's a list of leader and collective tasks that units typically have problems with:
  • conduct company backbriefs
  • develop sector sketches
  • develop plt/co fire plans
  • conduct company-level IPB
  • conduct PPCs/PCIs
  • troop-leading procedures
  • rehearsals
The articles in this issues deal specifically with many of these tasks. You can assess what you and your unit need work on and then apply the techniques and procedures in this issue to help you train.
