AR ARNG CG/CSM TOP TEN
1. Strength. Includes multiple tenants and incorporates the “Team” concept for filling and maintaining units. Commanders, CSMs/1SGTs must be responsible for their unit
1. Warrant Officer/Jr. Officer Manning. CO Grade assigned strength for the state is our biggest shortfall, currently at 74%. This is 53rd in the nation. CPTs have a 62% fill rate; LTs have a 91% fill rate. Units must support our OCS Program (Traditional and Accelerated) by identifying and sending qualified Soldiers.
1. Soldier Care/Promotions. Back to the Basics! “10 Minute Sponsorship Program” is a must. We must ensure we are promoting those who are eligible in a timely manner. This includes Jr. Officers as well as NCOs.
1. Leader and Soldier Counseling. If done timely and correctly, will prevent some/many of the issues we are facing, and set conditions for achieving organizational goals and objectives.
1. Resource Management. A. Funding – OCO, FTNGDOS, Schools, base. B. FTUS. Look at the whole organization and ensure

RDNCO) B. RSP Blue Phase Counseling – inform them of testing
process and frequency.C. RSP Gold Phase Counseling – remind them they are

6. Accountability. As Leaders, our Commanders and Soldiers are responsible for the accountability and management of all aspects of our organization. This includes FLIPLs. We must track them closely to prevent them from becoming “late”. Incorporate Command Policies to reduce OCIE FLIPLs.

PRT
The Army's overhaul of Initial Military Training (IMT) includes a new approach to physical-readiness training (PRT). Field Manual (FM) 21-20, Physical Fitness Training, has been revised and is now Training Circular (TC) 3-22.20, Army Physical Readiness Training.
7 Principles of PRT:
1. LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING2. NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS TRAIN 3. TRAIN AS YOU WILL FIGHT4. TRAIN TO STANDARD5. TRAIN TO SUSTAIN6. CONDUCT MULTIECHELON AND CONCURRENT
TRAINING7. TRAIN TO DEVELOP AGILE LEADERS AND
ORGANIZATIONS

METL Development
METLA Mission Essential Task is a collective task an
organization has to be proficient at in order to accomplish an appropriate portion of its wartime operational mission.
METL’s may change based on the wartime operational mission (stability ops, support ops, humanitarian relief, etc…)
INPUTS TO A METL DEVELOPMENT• Wartime Operational Plans• Enduring Combat Capabilities• Operational Environment• Directed Missions • External Guidance• Brigade METLs are directed based on wartime mission• Battalion/Squadron METLs must nest with and support the
Brigade METL• Company/Battery/Troop METLs must nest with and
support the Battalion/Squadron METL• Units smaller than Company/Battery/Troop do not develop
a METL
PAGE 54
Training DevelopmentUsing the mission as the foundation, the commander, working with subordinate leaders, determines the tasks the unit will train. Unit leaders understand the unit's mission and the expected operational conditions to replicate in training. From this, the commander identifies collective tasks to train and the associated risks of not training other collective tasks to proficiency. The conditions are either those described in the higher unit's training and leader development guidance, or those likely to be encountered in a mission. The commander visualizes the unit's required state of readiness for the mission and the training necessary to achieve full spectrum operations mission-essential task list (METL) proficiency, given the commander's assessment of current task proficiency. Task proficiency is determined using the” T” (trained), “P” (practice) or “U” (untrained) method for each METL task. The commander describes the training plan in training and leader development guidance or operation orders and directs its execution. By participating in and overseeing training and listening to feedback from subordinates, commanders assess the unit's full spectrum operations METL proficiency and whether the training being conducted contributes to mission readiness. In order to ensure that all training requirements are met and training is synchronized throughout the Battalions and Brigade a TMW (training management workshop) is conducted annually. Unit leaders from companies/batteries and battalion/squadron are required to attend and develop a training plan for their units which covers training for the next 12 months.
PAGE 55
Training Schedule
Based on the Commanders assessment of the units METL proficiency and guidance from the TMW, the commander selects tasks on which to train during unit training assemblies. Time available and the availability of training resources are also considered. In addition to METL tasks, some tasks are required in order to satisfy requirements from higher, such as PHAs, records review and briefings. Once all tasks are indentified, a training schedule is developed in order to ensure sufficient time is made available to complete the tasks, trainers and location of training is identified. Training schedules are published NLT 90 days prior to training.

Unit Supply In-Processing
All Soldiers will personally check-in with the unit supply sergeant upon arrival to the unit. The unit supply sergeant will make sure that a clothing record is completed correctly for every Soldier to include all appropriate memorandums outlining storage and responsibilities.
PAGE 58
Receipt of Equipment/Uniforms
The Soldier must know his/her CAC PIN in-order to digitally sign the CIF record for equipment issued by the supply sergeant. The Soldier will physically read and sign all documentation in his clothing record including all memorandums. The supply sergeant will make sure the Soldier understands the memorandums and consequences for not adhering to the memorandums content.
PAGE 59
Soldier Responsibility for Maintaining Equipment/Uniforms
It is the responsibility for every Soldier to ensure his/her equipment is clean and serviceable. This means you must wash and inspect the equipment on a regular basis. The supply sergeant will conduct annual showdown inspections of every Soldiers equipment. If the equipment becomes damaged, lost or stolen the Soldier will immediately notify the supply sergeant. For damaged equipment the Soldier will hand carry the item to the supply sergeant and complete a turn-in of that item. At that time the supply sergeant will request a replacement for the Soldier. The Soldier should have the item by the next scheduled drill. If the item is lost it is the Soldiers responsibility to pay for that item or items by signing a DD Form 362 Statement of Charges. The money will come out of the individuals drill pay.
PAGE 60
Soldier Responsibility for Maintaining Equipment/Uniforms (con’t)
If the item or items are stolen it is the Soldiers responsibility to file a police report and get a copy of that report to the supply sergeant. If the Soldier fails to do this he/she runs the risk of having to pay for the item or items that were stolen. The supply sergeant will then begin the Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss commonly known as a FLIPL.
PAGE 61
Soldier Responsibility for Clearing Supply for Out-Processing
Every Soldier must physically go see the unit supply sergeant prior to ending their time of service. The supply sergeant will inventory all of the Soldiers assigned equipment and uniforms to insure that the Soldier has everything he signed for during his/her tenure with the unit. If all equipment/uniforms are present the supply sergeant will do a turn-in. A turn-in is done online and a receipt of turn-in can be printed for the Soldier.
PAGE 62
Repercussions for Not Clearing Supply of All Equipment/Uniforms
Remember you signed for all the equipment/uniforms when the unit supply sergeant issued them to you. If you fail to turn-in all equipment/uniforms you will be held financially liable for all equipment/uniforms that are not present when clearing supply. If you fail to go see the supply sergeant to clear your clothing and equipment record you will be held financially liable for all of your equipment/uniforms, this will cost you around $4000.00 and possible jail time as it is theft of government property and the supply sergeant will file a police report. PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE YOU!!!!!
