GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. In compliance with statutory responsibilities and reference (a) to meet service and combatant commander requirements, designated Marine Corps Units and Installations develop Mission Essential Task List (METL) to focus training and report readiness against core and assigned missions. Mission Essential Tasks (METs) are developed for unit types and are drawn from the Marine Corps Task List.
2. Training and Readiness (T-R) Manuals provide individual and collective training standards that are linked to METS and meet current training and readiness requirements. In accordance with reference (b), the T-R battle rhythm ensures all manuals are formally reviewed, validated, and revised.
3. The training management process provides a forum for aviation and ground communities to discuss and prioritize issues that affect training effectiveness as they relate to T-R standards. In accordance with reference (c), specific aviation community representatives, advocates, and stakeholders meet annually within Training Management Team (TMT) working group. Specific representatives from those ground communities that participated in the Simulation Assessment Working Groups conducted during the Summer of Calendar Year 2016, advocates, and stakeholders meet initially as noted below within TMT working groups which are conducted along the guidelines contained in reference (c) and according to additional guidance promulgated by the Point of Contact (POC) via SEPCOR.
4. A Front End Analysis (FEA) Occupational Field study is a critical component of the Training Development Systems application of the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) process per reference (d). FEA study activities take place during the “ANALYZE” phase of the SAT process at the Service-level, and include the use of the highly regarded task Inventory/Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs job analysis methodology to collect and analyze occupational data gathered from statistically significant groups of Marines. FEA studies are accomplished both on a recurring schedule and on an "as needed" basis.
5. This message announces the Fiscal Year 17 (FY17) T-R Manual, TMT, and METL review battle rhythm. This will enable the Operational Force (OPFOR), advocates, Formal Learning Centers, and major subordinate commands to plan and execute working group related actions over the next FY. There are 108 Training and Education Command (TECOM) sponsored, and nine Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM) sponsored working groups scheduled for FY17. Commanding General (CG) TECOM has determined in reference (e) that the working groups listed in paragraph 7.B. meet the mandate of reference (f).
6. Force Readiness Branch, MARFORCOM serves as the services lead agency in the coordination and conduct of all METL working groups. Deputy Commandant (DC), Combat Development and Integration (CDI) and Commander Marine Forces Command (COMMARFORCOM), supported by advocate representation, Marine Forces (MARFORs), unit Subject Matter Experts (SME), and a TECOM representative supporting the T-R for the specific Community of Interest (COI) will host OPFOR METL workshops. Installation core METL workshops will be hosted by Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM), and supported by DC, CDI and COMMARFORCOM. The schedule for METL reviews is incorporated into the T-R/TMT schedule (paragraph 7.B).
6.a. Request all COI working groups conduct internal staff reviews of their current mission statements and METLs prior to convening or arriving to workshops. Mission statements can be found on the Total Force Structure Division (TFSD) website (https:(slant)(slant)tfsms.mccdc.usmc.mil/portal/page/portal/TFSMS/welcome).
6.b. Organizational structure, table of equipment, training events and output capabilities need to be aligned to COI mission statements and their METLs.
7. Marine Air-Ground Task Force Training and Education Standards Division (MTESD) serves as TECOMs lead agency for the coordination, conduct, and funding of all T-R and TMT working groups. Each working group is intended to be a service-level forum comprised of occupational SMEs dedicated to reviewing, validating, and revising T-R Manuals and reviewing and prioritizing training issues as appropriate. MTESD task analysts will coordinate with occupational field and aviation community SMEs to determine T-R and TMT workinggroup agenda and participants, and will supervise conduct of the working group.
7.a. Major pre-working group actions will occur per the standard T-R plan of actions and milestones detailed below:
7.a.1. Six months prior: FEA is initiated for select occupational fields. FEA results will be provided for the conduct of working group.
7.a.2. Six months prior: SME support requirements identified.
7.a.3. Three months prior: Pre-working group message released containing web link with read ahead information for working group attendees. Attendees to ground T-R working groups are expected to be familiar with references (b) and (g) while attendees of aviation T-R working groups are expected to be familiar with references (c) and (h), as well as their respective T-R Manual prior to commencement of the working group.
7.b. FY17 T-R, TMT, and METL review battle rhythm. The FY17 T-R Manual, TMT, and METL working groups schedule are as follows (read in three columns). The dates below are subject to change based on Occupational Fields or community requirements, a message will be released prior to each working group confirming actual dates and location.
