MARSOC T&R MANUAL
CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW
1000.
INTRODUCTION
1. The T&R Program is the Corps primary tool for planning, conducting and
evaluating training and assessing training readiness. Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) from the operating forces developed core capability Mission Essential
Task Lists (METLs) for ground communities derived from the Marine Corps Task
List (MCTL). T&R Manuals are built around these METLs and all events
contained in T&R Manuals relate directly to these METLs. This comprehensive
T&R Program will help to ensure the Marine Corps continues to improve its
combat readiness by training more efficiently and effectively. Ultimately,
this will enhance the Marine Corps ability to accomplish real-world
missions.
2. The T&R Manual contains the individual and collective training
requirements to prepare units to accomplish their combat mission. The T&R
Manual is not intended to be an encyclopedia that contains every minute
detail of how to accomplish training. Instead, it identifies the minimum
standards that Marines must be able to perform in combat. The T&R Manual is
a fundamental tool for commanders to build and maintain unit combat
readiness. Using this tool, leaders can construct and execute an effective
training plan that supports the unit's METL. More detailed information on
the Marine Corps Ground T&R Program is found in reference (a).
3. The MARSOC T&R Manual is designed for use by the Marine Special
Operations Command (MARSOC) curriculum developers to create programs of
instruction and for unit commanders to determine predeployment training
requirements in preparation for training at MARSOC. This directive focuses
on individual and collective tasks performed by OPFOR units and supervised by
MARSOC personnel in the performance of unit Mission Essential Tasks (METs).
1001.
UNIT TRAINING
1. The training of Marines to perform as an integrated unit in combat lies

at the heart of the T&R program. Unit and individual readiness are directly
related. Individual training and the mastery of individual core skills serve
as the building blocks for unit combat readiness. A Marine's ability to
perform critical skills required in combat is essential. However, it is not
necessary to have all individuals within a unit fully trained in order for
that organization to accomplish its assigned tasks. Manpower shortfalls,
temporary assignments, leave, or other factors outside the commanders
control, often affect the ability to conduct individual training. During
these periods, unit readiness is enhanced if emphasis is placed on the
individual training of Marines on-hand. Subsequently, these Marines will be
mission ready and capable of executing as part of a team when the full
complement of personnel is available.
1-2
NAVMC 3500.97

2. Commanders will ensure that all tactical training is focused on their
combat mission. The T&R Manual is a tool to help develop the units training
plan. In most cases, unit training should focus on achieving unit
proficiency in the core capabilities METL. However, commanders will adjust
their training focus to support METLs associated with a major OPLAN/CONPLAN
or named operation as designated by their higher commander and reported
accordingly in the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS). Tactical
training will support the METL in use by the commander and be tailored to
meet T&R standards. Commanders at all levels are responsible for effective
combat training. The conduct of training in a professional manner consistent
with Marine Corps standards cannot be over emphasized. Commanders should
rely upon the expertise of MARSOC personnel when conducting special
operations training. Reliance upon MARSOC personnel, adherence to the
policies contained in the references, and use of this directive constitutes a
solid foundation for unit training.
3. Commanders will provide personnel the opportunity to attend formal and
operational level courses of instruction as required by this Manual.
Attendance at all formal courses must enhance the warfighting capabilities of
the unit as determined by the unit commander.
1002.
UNIT TRAINING MANAGEMENT
1. Unit Training Management (UTM) is the application of the Systems Approach

to Training (SAT) and the Marine Corps Training Principles. This is
accomplished in a manner that maximizes training results and focuses the
training priorities of the unit in preparation for the conduct of its wartime
mission.
2. UTM techniques, described in references (b) and (e), provide commanders
with the requisite tools and techniques to analyze, design, develop,
implement, and evaluate the training of their unit. The Marine Corps
Training Principles, explained in reference (b), provide sound and proven
direction and are flexible enough to accommodate the demands of local
conditions. These principles are not inclusive, nor do they guarantee
success. They are guides that commanders can use to manage unit-training
programs. The Marine Corps training principles are:
-
Train as you fight

Make commanders responsible for training
Use standards-based training
Use performance-oriented training
Use mission-oriented training
Train the MAGTF to fight as a combined arms team
Train to sustain proficiency
Train to challenge
3. To maintain an efficient and effective training program, leaders at every

level must understand and implement UTM. Guidance for UTM and the process
for establishing effective programs are contained in references (a) through
(g).

SUSTAINMENT AND EVALUATION OF TRAINING
1. The evaluation of training is necessary to properly prepare Marines for

combat. Evaluations are either formal or informal, and performed by members
of the unit (internal evaluation) or from an external command (external
evaluation).
2. Marines are expected to maintain proficiency in the training events for
their MOS at the appropriate grade or billet to which assigned. Leaders are
responsible for recording the training achievements of their Marines.
Whether it involves individual or collective training events, they must
ensure proficiency is sustained by requiring retraining of each event at or
before expiration of the designated sustainment interval. Performance of the
training event, however, is not sufficient to ensure combat readiness.
Leaders at all levels must evaluate the performance of their Marines and the
unit as they complete training events, and only record successful
accomplishment of training based upon the evaluation. The goal of evaluation
is to ensure that correct methods are employed to achieve the desired
standard, or the Marines understand how they need to improve in order to
attain the standard. Leaders must determine whether credit for completing a
training event is recorded if the standard was not achieved. While
successful accomplishment is desired, debriefing of errors can result in
successful learning that will allow ethical recording of training event
completion. Evaluation is a continuous process that is integral to training
management and is conducted by leaders at every level and during all phases
of planning and the conduct of training. To ensure training is efficient and
effective, evaluation is an integral part of the training plan. Ultimately,
leaders remain responsible for determining if the training was effective.
3. The purpose of formal and informal evaluation is to provide commanders
with a process to determine a units/Marines proficiency in the tasks that
must be performed in combat. Informal evaluations are conducted during every
training evolution. Formal evaluations are often scenario-based, focused on
the units METs, based on collective training standards, and usually
conducted during higher-level collective events. References (a) and (f)
provide further guidance on the conduct of informal and formal evaluations
using the Marine Corps Ground T&R Program.
1004.
ORGANIZATION
1. This directive is written to support the mountain warfare training for

operating force units. This directive is not intended to be a stand-alone
document. The MARSOC staff will use this directive in conjunction with the
references for each individual and collective event to train units to
accomplish unit METs in these unique environments.
2. This directive is comprised of seven chapters and four appendices.
Chapter 2 contains the MET for MARSOC operations and the collective events
associated with this MET. Chapters 3 through 7 are the collective and
individual events. Appendix A provides terms and definitions. Appendix B
lists references. Appendix C provides billet descriptions and core skills
Appendix D lists additional tasks.

T&R EVENT CODING
1. T&R events are coded for ease of reference. Each event has up-to a 4-44-digit identifier. The first up-to four digits are referred to as a
community and represent the unit type or occupation (i.e. MSOF). The
second up-to four digits represent the functional or duty area (C2, FID,
MOBL, etc.). The last four digits represent the level and sequence of the
event.
2. The T&R levels are illustrated in Figure 1. An example of the T&R coding
used in this Manual is shown in Figure 2. Although Team resides at the
3000 Level for most communities, this manual uses the 4000 level for MSOF
Teams as they are closer to infantry squads in numbers.

COMBAT READINESS PERCENTAGE
1. The Marine Corps Ground T&R Program includes processes to assess

readiness of units and individual Marines. Every unit in the Marine Corps
1-5
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
maintains a basic level of readiness based on the training and experience of
the Marines in the unit. Even units that never trained together are capable
of accomplishing some portion of their missions. Combat readiness assessment
does not associate a quantitative value for this baseline of readiness, but
uses a Combat Readiness Percentage, as a method to provide a concise
descriptor of the recent training accomplishments of units and Marines.
2. Combat Readiness Percentage (CRP) is the percentage of required training
events that a unit or Marine accomplishes within specified sustainment
intervals.
3. In unit-based T&R Manuals, unit combat readiness is assessed as a
percentage of the successfully completed and current (within sustainment
interval) key training events called Evaluation-Coded (E-Coded) Events. ECoded Events and unit CRP calculation are described in follow-on paragraphs.
CRP achieved through the completion of E-Coded Events is directly relevant to
readiness assessment in DRRS.
4. Individual combat readiness, in both unit-based and community-based T&R
Manuals, is assessed as the percentage of required individual events in which
a Marine is current. This translates as the percentage of training events
for his/her MOS and grade (or billet) that the Marine successfully completes
within the directed sustainment interval. Individual skills are developed
through a combination of 1000-level training (entry-level formal school
courses), individual on-the-job training in 2000-level events, and follow-on
formal school training. Skill proficiency is maintained by retraining in
each event per the specified sustainment interval.
1007.
EVALUATION-CODED (E-CODED) EVENTS
1. Unit-type T&R Manuals can contain numerous unit events, some for the
whole unit and others for integral parts that serve as building blocks for
training. To simplify training management and readiness assessment, only
collective events that are critical components of a mission essential task
(MET), or key indicators of a units readiness, are used to generate CRP for
a MET. These critical or key events are designated in the T&R Manual as
Evaluation-Coded (E-Coded) events. Formal evaluation of unit performance in
these events is recommended because of their value in assessing combat
readiness. Only E-Coded events are used to calculate CRP for each MET.
2. The use of a METL-based training program allows the commander discretion
in training. This makes the T&R Manual a training tool rather than a
prescriptive checklist.
1008.
CRP CALCULATION
1. Collective training begins at the 3000 level (team, crew or equivalent).

Unit training plans are designed to accomplish the events that support the
unit METL while simultaneously sustaining proficiency in individual core
skills. Using the battalion-based (unit) model, the battalion (7000-level)
has collective events that directly support a MET on the METL. These
collective events are E-Coded and the only events that contribute to unit
1-6
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
CRP. This is done to assist commanders in prioritizing the training toward
the METL, taking into account resource, time, and personnel constraints.
2. Unit CRP increases after the completion of E-Coded events. The number of
E-Coded events for the MET determines the value of each E-Coded event. For
example, if there are 4 E-Coded events for a MET, each is worth 25% of MET
CRP. MET CRP is calculated by adding the percentage of each completed and
current (within sustainment interval) E-Coded training event. The percentage
for each MET is calculated the same way and all are added together and
divided by the number of METS to determine unit CRP. For ease of
calculation, we will say that each MET has 4 E-Coded events, each
contributing 25% towards the completion of the MET. If the unit has
completed and is current on three of the four E-Coded events for a given MET,
then they have completed 75% of the MET. The CRP for each MET is added
together and divided by the number of METS to get unit CRP; unit CRP is the
average of MET CRP.

T&R EVENT COMPOSITION
1. This section explains each of the components of a T&R event.

are included in all events in each T&R Manual.
These items
a. Event Code (see Sect 1006). The event code is a 4-4-4 character set.
For individual training events, the first 4 characters indicate the
occupational function. The second 4 characters indicate functional area
(WPNS, TACT, PS, BM, etc.). The third 4 characters are simply a numerical
designator for the event.
b.
Event Title.
The event title is the name of the event.
c. E-Coded. This is a yes/no category to indicate whether or not the

event is E-Coded. If yes, the event contributes toward the CRP of the
associated MET. The value of each E-Coded event is based on number of ECoded events for that MET. Refer to paragraph 1008 for detailed explanation
of E-Coded events.
d.

e. Sustainment Interval. This is the period, expressed in number of
months, between evaluation or retraining requirements. Skills and
capabilities acquired through the accomplishment of training events are
refreshed at pre-determined intervals. It is essential that these intervals
are adhered to in order to ensure Marines maintain proficiency.
f. Billet. Individual training events may contain a list of billets
within the community that are responsible for performing that event. This
ensures that the billets expected tasks are clearly articulated and a
Marines readiness to perform in that billet is measured.
g. Grade. Each individual training event will list the rank(s) at which
Marines are required to learn and sustain the training event.
h. Initial Training Setting. For Individual T&R Events only, this
specifies the location for initial instruction of the training event in one
of three categories (formal school, managed on-the-job training, distance
learning). Regardless of the specified Initial Training Setting, any T&R
event may be introduced and evaluated during managed on-the-job training.
(1) FORMAL When the Initial Training Setting of an event is
identified as FORMAL (formal school), the appropriate formal school or
training detachment is required to provide initial training in the event.
Conversely, formal schools and training detachments are not authorized to
provide training in events designated as Initial Training Setting MOJT or
DL. Since the duration of formal school training must be constrained to
optimize Operating Forces manning, this element provides the mechanism for
Operating Forces prioritization of training requirements for both entrylevel (1000-level) and career-level (2000-level) T&R Events. For formal
schools and training detachments, this element defines the requirements for
content of courses.
(2) MOJT Events specified for Managed On-the-Job Training are to
be introduced to Marines, and evaluated, as part of training within a unit by
supervisory personnel.
(3) DL Identifies the training event as a candidate for initial
training via a Distance Learning product (correspondence course or MarineNet
course).
i. Event Description. Provide a description of the event purpose,
objectives, goals, and requirements. It is a general description of an
action requiring learned skills and knowledge (e.g. Camouflage the M1A1
Tank).
j. Condition. Describe the condition(s), under which tasks are
performed. Conditions are based on a real world operational environment.
They indicate what is provided (equipment, materials, manuals, aids, etc.),
environmental constraints, conditions under which the task is performed, and
any specific cues or indicators to which the performer must respond. When
resources or safety requirements limit the conditions, this is stated.
k. Standard. The standard indicates the basis for judging effectiveness
of the performance. It consists of a carefully worded statement that
identifies the proficiency level expected when the task is performed. The
1-8
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
standard provides the minimum acceptable performance parameters and is
strictly adhered to. The standard for collective events is general,
describing the desired end-state or purpose of the event. While the standard
for individual events specifically describe to what proficiency level in
terms of accuracy, speed, sequencing, quality of performance, adherence to
procedural guidelines, etc., the event is accomplished.
l. Event Components. Describe the actions composing the event and help
the user determine what must be accomplished and to properly plan for the
event.
m. Prerequisite Events. Prerequisites are academic training or other
T&R events that must be completed prior to attempting the task. They are
lower-level events or tasks that give the individual/unit the skills required
to accomplish the event. They can also be planning steps, administrative
requirements, or specific parameters that build toward mission
accomplishment.
n. Chained Events. Collective T&R events are supported by lower-level
collective and individual T&R events. This enables unit leaders to
effectively identify subordinate T&R events that ultimately support specific
mission essential tasks. When the accomplishment of any upper-level events,
by their nature, result in the performance of certain subordinate and related
events, the events are chained. The completion of chained events will
update sustainment interval credit (and CRP for E-Coded events) for the
related subordinate level events.
o. Related Events.
that support the event.
Provide a list of all Individual Training Standards
p. References. The training references are utilized to determine task

performance steps, grading criteria, and ensure standardization of training
procedures. They assist the trainee in satisfying the performance standards,
or the trainer in evaluating the effectiveness of task completion.
References are also important to the development of detailed training plans.
q. Distance Learning Products (IMI, CBT, MCI, etc.). Include this
component when the event can be taught via one of these media methods vice
attending a formal course of instruction or receiving MOJT.
r. Support Requirements. This is a list of the external and internal
support the unit and Marines will need to complete the event. The list
includes, but is not limited to:
Range(s)/Training Area
Ordnance
Equipment
Materials
Other Units/Personnel
Other Support Requirements
s. Miscellaneous. Provide any additional information that assists in

the planning and execution of the event. Miscellaneous information may
include, but is not limited to:

2. Community-based T&R Manuals have several additional components not found

in unit-based T&R Manuals. These additions do not apply to this T&R Manual.
1010.
CBRNE TRAINING
1. All personnel assigned to the operating force must be trained in

chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (CBRND), in order to
survive and continue their mission in a CBRN environment. Individual
proficiency standards are defined as survival and basic operating standards.
Survival standards are those that the individual must master in order to
survive a CBRN incident. Basic operating standards are those that the
individual, and collectively the unit, must perform to continue operations in
a CBRNE environment.
2. CBRN Officers and Specialists are instrumental in integrating realistic
scenarios/situations that challenge units ability to operate in a CBRN
environment. Units should train under CBRNE conditions whenever possible.
Per reference (c), all units must be capable of accomplishing their assigned
mission in a contaminated environment.
1011.
NIGHT TRAINING
1. While it is understood that all personnel and units of the operating

force are capable of performing their assigned mission in every climate and
place, current doctrine emphasizes the requirement to perform assigned
missions at night and during periods of limited visibility. Basic skills are
significantly more difficult when visibility is limited.
2. To ensure units are capable of accomplishing their mission they must
train under the conditions of limited visibility. Units should strive to
conduct all events in this T&R Manual during both day and night/limited
visibility conditions. When there is limited training time available, night
training should take precedence over daylight training, contingent on
individual, crew, and unit proficiency.
1012.
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT (ORM)
1. ORM is a process that enables commanders to plan for and minimize risk
while still accomplishing the mission. It is a decision making tool used by
Marines at all levels to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating
hazards and reducing the potential for loss, thereby increasing the
probability of a successful mission. ORM minimizes risks to acceptable
levels, commensurate with mission accomplishment.
2. Commanders, leaders, maintainers, planners, and schedulers will integrate
risk assessment in the decision-making process and implement hazard controls
to reduce risk to acceptable levels. Applying the ORM process will reduce
1-10
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
mishaps, lower costs, and provide for more efficient use of resources. ORM
assists the commander in conserving lives and resources and avoiding
unnecessary risk, making an informed decision to implement a course of action
(COA), identifying feasible and effective control measures where specific
measures do not exist, and providing reasonable alternatives for mission
accomplishment. Most importantly, ORM assists the commander in determining
the balance between training realism and unnecessary risks in training, the
impact of training operations on the environment, and the adjustment of
training plans to fit the level of proficiency and experience of
Sailors/Marines and leaders. Further guidance for ORM is found in references
(b) and (d).
1013.
APPLICATION OF SIMULATION
1. Simulations/Simulators and other training devices shall be used when they

are capable of effectively and economically supplementing training on the
identified training task. Particular emphasis shall be placed on simulators
that provide training that might be limited by safety considerations or
constraints on training space, time, or other resources. When deciding on
simulation issues, the primary consideration shall be improving the quality
of training and consequently the state of readiness. Potential savings in
operating and support costs normally shall be an important secondary
consideration.
2. Each training event contains information relating to the applicability of
simulation. If simulator training applies to the event, then the applicable
simulator(s) is/are listed in the Simulation section and the CRP for
simulation training is given. This simulation training can either be used in
place of live training, at the reduced CRP indicated; or can be used as a
precursor training for the live event, i.e., weapons simulators, convoy
trainers, observed fire trainers, etc. It is recommended that tasks be
performed by simulation prior to being performed in a live-fire environment.
However, in the case where simulation is used as a precursor for the live
event, then the unit will receive credit for the live event CRP only. If a
tactical situation develops that precludes performing the live event, the
unit would then receive credit for the simulation CRP.

MARINE CORPS GROUND T&R PROGRAM
1. The Marine Corps Ground T&R Program continues to evolve. The vision for
Ground T&R Program is to publish a T&R Manual for every readiness-reporting
unit so that core capability METs are clearly defined with supporting
collective training standards, and to publish community-based T&R Manuals for
all occupational fields whose personnel augment other units to increase their
combat and/or logistic capabilities. The vision for this program includes
plans to provide a Marine Corps training management information system that
enables tracking of unit and individual training accomplishments by unit
commanders and small unit leaders, automatically computing CRP for both units
and individual Marines based upon MOS and rank (or billet). Linkage of T&R
Events to the Marine Corps Task List (MCTL), through the core capability
METs, has enabled objective assessment of training readiness in the DRRS.

2. DRRS measures and reports on the readiness of military forces and the
supporting infrastructure to meet missions and goals assigned by the
Secretary of Defense. With unit CRP based on the units training toward its
METs, the CRP will provide a more accurate picture of a units readiness.
This will give fidelity to future funding requests and factor into the
allocation of resources. Additionally, the Ground T&R Program will help to
ensure training remains focused on mission accomplishment and that training
requirements.

MARSOC T&R MANUAL
CHAPTER 3
3000. PURPOSE. This chapter contains the Marine Special Operations

Battalion (MSOB) level events, and illustrates the relationship between unit
competencies Mission Essential Tasks (METs) and unit training (Collective
Events). Unit training managers can isolate all training relevant to each
MET and devise training to support their competencies as needed. Lastly,
this chapter serves as the focal point for Battalion training, detailed in
the subsequent chapter.
3001. EVENT CODING. Events in the T&R Manual are depicted with up to a 12
field alphanumeric system, i.e. MSOF-UW-7755. This chapter utilizes the
following methodology:
a. Field one Each event starts with MSOF indicating that the event
is for units in the Marine Special Operations Command.
b. Field two This field is alpha characters indicating a functional
area. Functional areas used within Battalion Collective Events:
C2 - Command and Control
FSPT - Fire Support
c. Field three - This field provides unit level at which the event is
accomplished and numerical sequencing.
3002.
ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES
1. Commanders should select which Battalion and/or Company collective events

under a MET will be E-Coded for purposes of recording and calculating Combat
Readiness Percentages (CRP).
2. Each Event contains a paragraph that describes internal and external
Support Requirements the unit and Marines will need to complete the event.
Ranges/Training Areas are described in this section with plain-language
description. They are also described using the Range/Facility Codes that
identify the type of range and/or training area needed to accomplish the
Event. Marines can use the codes to find information about available ranges
at their geographic location by using the web-based Range/Training Area
Management System (see TECOM website). Ultimate use of the Range/Training
Area Code is to relate ranges to readiness by identifying those events that
cannot be accomplished at a certain location due to lack of ranges.

MSOB MISSION/CONCEPT OF EMPLOYMENT
Marine Special Operations Battalion (MSOB) trains, structures, equips, and

provides specially qualified Marine forces in order to conduct special
operations missions worldwide as directed by Marine Corps Forces, Special
Operations Command (MARSOC). When directed, MSOB exercises command and
control of deployed forces.

4003. DISCLAIMER UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE. Unconventional Warfare tasks are

trained at MARSOC in order to develop skills in Irregular Warfare,
particularly Counter Insurgency. A thorough understanding of insurgency is
necessary for the conduct of Counter Insurgency. The inclusion of these
Unconventional Warfare tasks does not imply development of an Unconventional
Warfare capability in MARSOC.
4004. MSOC MISSION. Marine Special Operations Company (MSOC) conducts

Direct Action, Special Reconnaissance, Counter Terrorism, Foreign Internal
Defense, and Preparation of the Environment worldwide as directed, in order
to support United States Special Operations Command and Geographic Combatant
Commanders.
4005. MSOC CONCEPT OF EMPLOYMENT. The Marine Special Operations Company

(MSOC) deploys in support of SOF specific tasking. The MSOC may conduct
joint or combined special operations in austere, politically sensitive
environments for extended periods of time with limited external support. As
part of a larger force the MSOC is capable of capturing, destroying or
neutralizing strategic level targets. The MSOC possesses special long-range
communications and advanced information gathering equipment. The MSOC
trains, advises and assists Host Nation, surrogate and indigenous forces.
When provided task organized enabler support, the MSOC is capable of
independent operations. A headquarters element and Marine Special Operations
Teams (MSOTs) are organic to the MSOC, but it may be task organized with
additional SOF or conventional forces. The MSOC may possess special
insert/extract skills.

5004. MSOT CONCEPT OF EMPLOYMENT. The Marine Special Operations Team (MSOT)
is the base MARSOF element in the conduct of DA, SR, UW, and FID operations.
The team may possess special insert/extract skills when required to conduct
DA, SR, or UW. The team possesses special long-range communications and
advanced information gathering equipment. Capable of performing in any
environment, the team collects battlefield information for processing into
intelligence, trains, combat advises and assists Host Nation, surrogate and
indigenous forces, and as part of a larger force is capable of capturing,
destroying or neutralizing strategic level targets. The team is capable of
limited independent and split team operations. When conducting special
operations the team may be employed unilaterally, in-conjunction with other
SOF, other government agencies or integrated with conventional US forces in
austere, politically sensitive environments for extended periods of time with
limited external support.

MARSOC T&R MANUAL
APPENDIX A
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Terms in this glossary are subject to change as applicable orders and
directives are revised. Terms established by Marine Corps orders or
directives take precedence after definitions found in Joint Pub 1-02,
DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.
A
After Action Review. A professional discussion of training events conducted
after all training to promote learning among training participants. The
formality and scope increase with the command level and size of the training
evolution. For longer exercises, they should be planned for at predetermined
times during an exercise. The results of the AAR shall be recorded on an
after action report and forwarded to higher headquarters. The commander and
higher headquarters use the results of an AAR to reallocate resources,
reprioritize their training plan, and plan for future training.
Assessment. An informal judgment of the units proficiency and resources
made by a commander or trainer to gain insight into the units overall
condition. It serves as the basis for the midrange plan. Commanders make
frequent use of these determinations during the course of the combat
readiness cycle in order to adjust, prioritize or modify training events and
plans.
C
Chaining. A process that enables unit leaders to effectively identify
subordinates collective events and individual events that support a specific
collective event. For example, collective training events at the 4000-level
are directly supported by collective events at the 3000-level. Utilizing the
building block approach to progressive training, these collective events are
further supported by individual training events at the 1000 and 2000-levels.
When a higher-level event by its nature requires the completion of lower
level events, they are chained; Sustainment credit is given for all lower
level events chained to a higher event.
Collective Event. A clearly defined, discrete, and measurable activity,
action, or event (i.e., task) that requires organized team or unit
performance and leads to accomplishment of a mission or function. A
collective task is derived from unit missions or higher-level collective
tasks. Task accomplishment requires performance of procedures composed of
supporting collective or individual tasks. A collective task describes the
exact performance a group must perform in the field under actual operational
conditions. The term collective does not necessarily infer that a unit
accomplishes the event. A unit, such as a squad or platoon conducting an
attack; may accomplish a collective event or, it may be accomplished by an
individual to accomplish a unit mission, such as a battalion supply officer
completing a reconciliation of the battalions CMR. Thus, many collective
events will have titles that are the same as individual events; however, the
A-1
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
standard and condition will be different because the scope of the collective
event is broader.
Collective Training Standards (CTS). Criteria that specify mission and
functional area unit proficiency standards for combat, combat support, and
combat service support units. They include tasks, conditions, standards,
evaluator instruction, and key indicators. CTS are found within collective
training events in T&R Manuals.
Combat Readiness Cycle. The combat readiness cycle depicts the relationships
within the building block approach to training. The combat readiness cycle
progresses from T&R Manual individual core skills training, to the
accomplishment of collective training events, and finally, to a units
participation in a contingency or actual combat. The combat readiness cycle
demonstrates the relationship of core capabilities to unit combat readiness.
Individual core skills training and the training of collective events lead to
unit proficiency and the ability to accomplish the units stated mission.
Combat Readiness Percentage (CRP). The CRP is a quantitative numerical value
used in calculating collective training readiness based on the E-coded events
that support the unit METL. CRP is a concise measure of unit training
accomplishments. This numerical value is only a snapshot of training
readiness at a specific time. As training is conducted, unit CRP will
continuously change.
Component Events. Component events are the major tasks involved in
accomplishing a collective event. Listing these tasks guide Marines toward
the accomplishment of the event and help evaluators determine if the task has
been done to standard. These events may be lower-level collective or
individual events that must be accomplished.
Condition. The condition describes the training situation or environment
under which the training event or task will take place. Expands on the
information in the title by identifying when, where and why the event or task
will occur and what materials, personnel, equipment, environmental
provisions, and safety constraints must be present to perform the event or
task in a real-world environment. Commanders can modify the conditions of
the event to best prepare their Marines to accomplish the assigned mission
(e.g. in a desert environment; in a mountain environment; etc.).
Core Competency. Core competency is the comprehensive measure of a units
ability to accomplish its assigned MET. It serves as the foundation of the
T&R Program. Core competencies are those unit core capabilities and
individual core skills that support the commanders METL and T/O mission
statement. Individual competency is exhibited through demonstration of
proficiency in specified core tasks and core plus tasks. Unit proficiency is
measured through collective tasks.
Core Capabilities. Core capabilities are the essential functions a unit must
be capable of performing during extended contingency/combat operations. Core
unit capabilities are based upon mission essential tasks derived from
operational plans; doctrine and established tactics; techniques and
procedures.
Core Plus Capabilities. Core plus capabilities are advanced capabilities
that are environment, mission, or theater specific. Core plus capabilities
A-2
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
may entail high-risk, high-cost training for missions that are less likely to
be assigned in combat.
Core Plus Skills. Core plus skills are those advanced skills that are
environment, mission, rank, or billet specific. 2000-level training is
designed to make Marines proficient in core skills in a specific billet or at
a specified rank at the Combat Ready level. 3000-8000-level training
produces combat leaders and fully qualified section members at the Combat
Qualified level. Marines trained at the Combat Qualified level are those the
commanding officer feels are capable of accomplishing unit-level missions and
of directing the actions of subordinates. Many core plus tasks are learned
via MOJT, while others form the base for curriculum in career level MOS
courses taught by the formal school.
Core Skills. Core skills are those essential basic skills that make a
Marine and qualify that Marine for an MOS. They are the 1000-level skills
introduced in entry-level training at formal schools and refined in
operational units.
D
Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS). A comprehensive readiness
reporting system that evaluates readiness on the basis of the actual missions
and capabilities assigned to the forces. It is a capabilities-based,
adaptive, near real-time reporting system for the entire Department of
Defense.
Deferred Event. A T&R event that a commanding officer may postpone when in
his or her judgment, a lack of logistic support, ammo, ranges, or other
training assets requires a temporary exemption. CRP cannot be accrued for
deferred E-Coded events.
Delinquent Event. An event becomes delinquent when a Marine or unit exceeds
the sustainment interval for that particular event. The individual or unit
must update the delinquent event by first performing all prerequisite events.
When the unit commander deems that performing all prerequisite is
unattainable, then the delinquent event will be re-demonstrated under the
supervision of the appropriate evaluation authority.
E
E-Coded Event. An E-Coded event is a collective T&R event that is a noted
indicator of capability or, a noted Collective skill that contributes to the
units ability to perform the supported MET. As such, only E-Coded events
are assigned a CRP value and used to calculate a units CRP.
Entry-level training. Pipeline training that equips students for service
with the Marine Operating Forces.
Evaluation. Evaluation is a continuous process that occurs at all echelons,
during every phase of training and can be both formal and informal.
Evaluations ensure that Marines and units are capable of conducting their
combat mission. Evaluation results are used to reallocate resources,
reprioritize the training plan, and plan for future training.
A-3
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
Event (Training). 1) An event is a significant training occurrence that is
identified, expanded and used as a building block and potential milestone for
a units training. An event may include formal evaluations. 2) An event
within the T&R Program can be an individual training evolution, a collective
training evolution or both. Through T&R events, the unit commander ensures
that individual Marines and the unit progress from a combat capable status to
a Fully Combat Qualified (FCQ) status.
Event Component. The major procedures (i.e., actions) that must occur to
perform a Collective Event to standard.
Exercise Commander (EC). The Commanding General, Marine Expeditionary Force
or his appointee will fill this role, unless authority is delegated to the
respective commander of the Division, Wing, or FSSG. Responsibilities and
functions of the EC include: 1) designate unit(s) to be evaluated, 2) may
designate an exercise director, 3) prescribe exercise objectives and T&R
events to be evaluated, 4) coordinate with commands or agencies external to
the Marine Corps and adjacent Marine Corps commands, when required.
Exercise Director (ED). Designated by the EC to prepare, conduct, and report
all evaluation results. Responsibilities and functions of the ED include:
1) Publish a letter of instruction (LOI) that: delineates the T&R events to
be evaluated, establishes timeframe of the exercise, lists responsibilities
of various elements participating in the exercise, establishes safety
requirements/guidelines, and lists coordinating instructions. 2) Designate
the TEC and TECG to operate as the central control agency for the exercise.
3) Assign evaluators, to include the senior evaluator, and ensure that those
evaluators are properly trained. 4) Develop the general exercise scenario
taking into account any objectives/events prescribed by the EC. 5) Arrange
for all resources to include: training areas, airspace, aggressor forces,
and other required support.
I
Individual Readiness. The individual training readiness of each Marine is
measured by the number of individual events required and completed for the
rank or billet currently held.
Individual Training. Training that applies to individual Marines.
include rifle qualifications and HMMWV driver licensing.
Examples
Individual Training Standards (ITS). Specifies training tasks and standards

for each MOS or specialty within the Marine Corps. In most cases, once an
MOS or community develops a T&R, the ITS order will be cancelled. However,
most communities will probably fold a large portion of their ITS into their
new T&R manual.
M
Marine Corps Combat Readiness and Evaluation System (MCCRES). An evaluation
system designed to provide commanders with a comprehensive set of mission
performance standards from which training programs can be developed; and
through which the efficiency and effectiveness of training can be evaluated.
The Ground T&R Program will eventually replace MCCRES.
A-4
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
Marine Corps Ground Training and Readiness (T&R) Program. The T&R Program is
the Marine Corps primary tool for planning and conducting training, for
planning and conducting training evaluation, and for assessing training
readiness. The program will provide the commander with standardized programs
of instruction for units within the ground combat, combat support, and combat
service support communities. It consolidates the ITS, CTS, METL and other
individual and unit training management tools. T&R is a program of standards
that systematizes commonly accepted skills, is open to innovative change, and
above all, tailors the training effort to the units mission. Further, T&R
serves as a training guide and provides commanders an immediate assessment of
unit combat readiness by assigning a CRP to key training events. In short,
the T&R Program is a building block approach to training that maximizes
flexibility and produces the best-trained Marines possible.
Mission Essential Task(s) MET(s). A MET is a collective task in which an
organization must be proficient in order to accomplish an appropriate portion
of its wartime mission(s). MET listings are the foundation for the T&R
manual; all events in the T&R manual support a MET.
Mission Essential Task List (METL). Descriptive training document that
provides units a clear, war fighting focused description of collective
actions necessary to achieve wartime mission proficiency. The service-level
METL, that which is used as the foundation of the T&R manual, is developed
using Marine Corps doctrine, operational plans, T/Os, UJTL, UNTL, and MCTL.
For community based T&R manuals, an occupational field METL is developed to
focus the communitys collective training standards. Commanders develop
their unit METL from the service-level METL, operational plans, contingency
plans, and SOPs.
Mission Performance Standards (MPS). Criteria that specify mission and
functional area unit proficiency standards for combat, combat support and
combat service support units. They include tasks, conditions, standards,
evaluator instruction, and key indicators. MPS are contained within the
MCCRES volumes. The MCCRES volumes are being replaced by T&R Manuals.
Collective events will replace MPS.
O
Operational Readiness (DOD, NATO). OR is the capability of a unit/formation,
ship, weapon system, or equipment to perform the missions or functions for
which it is organized or designed. May be used in a general sense or to
express a level or degree of readiness.
P
Performance Step. Performance steps are included in the components of an
Individual T&R Event. They are the major procedures (i.e., actions) a unit
Marine must accomplish to perform an individual event to standard. They
describe the procedure the task performer must take to perform the task under
operational conditions and provide sufficient information for a task
performer to perform the procedure (may necessitate identification of
supporting steps, procedures, or actions in outline form). Performance steps
follow a logical progression and should be followed sequentially, unless
otherwise stated. Normally, performance steps are listed only for 1000-level
individual events (those that are taught in the entry-level MOS school).
A-5
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
Listing performance steps is optional if the steps are already specified in a
published reference.
Prerequisite Event. Prerequisites are the academic training and/or T&R
events that must be completed prior to attempting the event.
R
Readiness (DOD). Readiness is the ability of U.S. military forces to fight
and meet the demands of the national military strategy. Readiness is the
synthesis of two distinct but interrelated levels: a) Unit readiness--The
ability to provide capabilities required by combatant commanders to execute
assigned missions. This is derived from the ability of each unit to deliver
the outputs for which it was designed. b) Joint readiness--The combatant
commanders ability to integrate and synchronize ready combat and support
forces to execute assigned missions.
S
Section Skill Tasks. Section skills are those competencies directly related
to unit functioning. They are group rather than individual in nature, and
require participation by a section (S-1, S-2, S-3, etc).
Simulation Training. Simulators provide the additional capability to develop
and hone core and core plus skills. Accordingly, the development of
simulator training events for appropriate T&R syllabi can help maintain
valuable combat resources while reducing training time and cost. Therefore,
in cases where simulator fidelity and capabilities are such that simulator
training closely matches that of actual training events, T&R Manual
developers may include the option of using simulators to accomplish the
training. CRP credit will be earned for E-coded simulator events based on
assessment of relative training event performance.
Standard. A standard is a statement that establishes criteria for how well a
task or learning objective must be performed. The standard specifies how
well, completely, or accurately a process must be performed or product
produced. For higher-level collective events, it describes why the event is
being done and the desired end-state of the event. Standards become more
specific for lower-level events and outline the accuracy, time limits,
sequencing, quality, product, process, restrictions, etc., that indicate the
minimum acceptable level of performance required of the event. At a minimum,
both collective and individual training standards consist of a task, the
condition under which the task is to be performed, and the evaluation
criteria that will be used to verify that the task has been performed to a
satisfactory level.
Sustainment Training. Periodic retraining or demonstration of an event
required maintaining the minimum acceptable level of proficiency or
capability required to accomplish a training objective. Sustainment training
goes beyond the entry-level and is designed to maintain or further develop
proficiency in a given set of skills.
Systems Approach to Training (SAT). An orderly process for analyzing,
designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating a units training program
A-6
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
to ensure the unit, and the Marines of that unit acquire the knowledge and
skills essential for the successful conduct of the units wartime missions.
T
Training Task. This describes a direct training activity that pertains to an
individual Marine. A task is composed of 3 major components: a description
of what is to be done, a condition, and a standard.
Technical Exercise Controller (TEC). The TEC is appointed by the ED, and
usually comes from his staff or a subordinate command. The TEC is the senior
evaluator within the TECG and should be of equal or higher grade than the
commander(s) of the unit(s) being evaluated. The TEC is responsible for
ensuring that the evaluation is conducted following the instructions
contained in this order and MCO 1553.3A. Specific T&R manuals are used as
the source for evaluation criteria.
Tactical Exercise Control Group (TECG). A TECG is formed to provide subject
matter experts in the functional areas being evaluated. The benefit of
establishing a permanent TECG is to have resident, dedicated evaluation
authority experience, and knowledgeable in evaluation technique. The
responsibilities and functions of the TECG include: 1) developing a detailed
exercise scenario to include the objectives and events prescribed by the
EC/ED in the exercise LOI; 2) conducting detailed evaluator training prior to
the exercise; 3) coordinating and controlling role players and aggressors; 4)
compiling the evaluation data submitted by the evaluators and submitting
required results to the ED; 5) preparing and conducting a detailed exercise
debrief for the evaluated unit(s).
Training Plan. A training plan is a document that outlines the general plan
for the conduct of individual and collective training in an organization for
specified periods of time.
U
Unit CRP. Unit CRP is a percentage of the E-coded collective events that
support the unit METL accomplished by the unit. Unit CRP is the average of
all MET CRP.
Unit Evaluation. All units in the Marine Corps must be evaluated, either
formally or informally, to ensure they are capable of conducting their combat
mission. Informal evaluations should take place during all training events.
The timing of formal evaluations is critical and should, when appropriate, be
directly related to the units operational deployment cycle. Formal
evaluations should take place after the unit has been staffed with the
majority of its personnel, has had sufficient time to train to individual and
collective standards, and early enough in the training cycle so there is
sufficient time to correctly identified weaknesses prior to deployment. All
combat units and units task organized for combat require formal evaluations
prior to operational deployments.
Unit Training Management (UTM). Unit training management is the use of the
SAT and Marine Corps training principles in a manner that maximizes training
results and focuses the training priorities of the unit on its wartime
A-7
NAVMC 3500.97
3 Jan 2011
mission. UTM governs the major peacetime training activity of the Marine
Corps and applies to all echelons of the Total Force.
W
Waived Event. An event that is waived by a commanding officer when in his or
her judgment, previous experience or related performance satisfies the
requirement of a particular event.
