PREFACE 

This mission training plan (MTP) provides active component (AC) and reserve component (RC) training 

managers with a descriptive, mission-oriented training program to train the unit to perform its critical 

wartime operations. This MTP aligns with and is part of the United States (US) Army Training and Tactical 

Doctrine Program. While missions and deployment assignments impact on the priorities, the operations 

described here are expected to be executed with a high level of proficiency. Each unit is expected to train, 

as a minimum, to the standards of the training and evaluation outlines (T&EOs) in this MTP. Standards 

for training may be raised, but they may not be lowered. 

This MTP applies to the engineer company, engineer prime power battalion table(s) of organization and 

equipment (TOE) 05617L000.

CHAPTER 1 

Unit Training 

1-1. General. This MTP provides the commander and leaders with guidance on how to train the key 

missions of the unit. The specific details of the unit training program will depend on the—

• Unit mission-essential task list (METL). 

• Chain-of-command training directives and guidance. 

• Unit training priorities. 

• Availability of training resources and areas. 

1-2. Supporting Material. This MTP describes a critical wartime mission-oriented training program that is 

part of the next higher echelon training program. This relationship is illustrated in Figure 1-1. The unit 

training program consists of the following publications: 

 a. Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) 5-615-66-MTP for the engineer prime power 

battalion, battalion staff. This MTP indicates the relationship of the battalion training program. 

 b. ARTEP 5-616-34-MTP for the headquarters and headquarters company, engineer prime 

power battalion. This MTP indicates the relationship of the support company training program to the 

battalion training program. 

 c. ARTEP 5-617-10-MTP and ARTEP 5-617-11-MTP for the engineer platoons (prime power). 

These ARTEP MTPs indicate the relationship of the platoon training programs to the company training 

program. 

 d. Soldier training publications (STPs) for the appropriate military occupational specialties 

(MOSs) and skill levels.

1-3. Contents. This MTP is organized into six chapters and three appendixes. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 2 

 a. Chapter 1, Unit Training, provides the explanation and organization of an MTP. This chapter 

explains how to use an MTP in establishing an effective training program. 

 b. Chapter 2, Training Matrixes, shows the relationship between the mission and the collective 

tasks. 

 c. Chapter 3, Mission Outlines/Training Plans, presents a graphic portrayal of the relationship 

between missions and their subordinate tasks. 

 d. Chapter 4, Training Exercise, consists of a sample training exercise. This exercise provides 

training information and a preconstructed sample scenario. It can serve as a part of an internal or external 

evaluation. This exercise may be modified to suit the training needs of the unit. 

 e. Chapter 5, Training and Evaluation Outlines, contains the T&EOs for the unit. T&EOs are the 

foundation of the MTP and the collective training of the unit. Each task is a T&EO that identifies task 

steps, performance measures, individual and leader tasks, and opposing forces (OPFOR) countertasks. 

The unit must master designated collective tasks to perform its critical wartime operations. T&EOs can be 

trained separately, in a situational training exercise (STX), in a field training exercise (FTX), or in live-fire 

exercises. For collective live-fire standards, the trainer needs to refer to the applicable gunnery manual 

for the appropriate course of fire. Those standards and courses of fire need to be integrated into the 

training exercise. Each T&EO is part of a mission and, in various combinations, composes the training 

exercise in Chapter 4. 

 (1) Format. The T&EOs are prepared for every collective task that supports critical wartime 

operation accomplishment. Each T&EO contains the following items: 

 (a) Elements. This identifies the unit or unit element(s) that perform the task. 

 (b) Task. This describes the action to be performed by the unit and provides the task 

number. 

 (c) Reference. This identifies the publication used to develop the task and is in 

parenthesis following the task number. If more than one reference is used, the reference that contains the 

most information (primary reference) about the task is listed first and underlined. If there is only one 

reference, it is not underlined. 

 (d) Iteration. This is used to identify how many times the task is performed and 

evaluated during training. The M identifies when the task is performed in mission-oriented protective 

posture (MOPP) 4. 

 (e) Commander/leader assessment. This is used by the unit leadership to assess the 

proficiency of the unit in performing the task to standard. Assessments are subjective in nature. 

Therefore, use all available evaluation data and subunit-leader input to assess the overall capability of the 

organization to accomplish the task. Use the following ratings: 

• T - Trained. The unit is trained and has demonstrated its proficiency in 

accomplishing the task to wartime standards. 

• P - Needs practice. The unit needs to practice the task. Performance has 

demonstrated that the unit does not achieve the task to standard without 

some difficulty or has failed to perform some task steps to standard. 

• U - Untrained. The unit cannot demonstrate an ability to achieve wartime 

proficiency. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 3 

 (f) Conditions. This describes the situation or environment in which the unit is to 

perform the collective task. 

 (g) Task standards. This states the performance criteria that a unit must achieve to 

successfully execute the task. This overall standard should be the focus of training and should be 

understood by every soldier. The trainer or evaluator determines the unit training status by using 

performance observation measurements (where applicable) and his judgment. The unit must be 

evaluated in the context of the mission, enemy, terrain, troops, time available, and civilian considerations 

(METT-TC). The conditions should be as similar as possible for all evaluated elements. This will establish 

a common baseline for unit performance. 

 (h) Task steps and performance measures. This is a list of actions that the unit is to 

perform to complete the task. These actions are stated in terms of observable performance for evaluating 

training proficiency. The task steps are arranged sequentially along with any supporting individual tasks 

and their references. An asterisk (*) to the left of the step number indicates the leader tasks within each 

T&EO. If the unit fails to correctly perform one of the task steps to standard, it has failed to achieve the 

overall task standard. The task step may contain performance measures that must be accomplished to 

correctly perform the task step. 

 (i) GO/NO-GO column. This column is provided for annotating the performance of the 

task steps. Evaluate each performance measure for a task step and place an X in the appropriate 

column. A major portion of the performance measures must be marked a GO for the task step to be 

successfully performed. 

 (j) Task performance/evaluation summary block. This block provides the trainer with a 

means of recording the total number of task steps and performance measures evaluated and those 

evaluated as GO. It also provides the evaluator with a means to rate the unit demonstrated performance 

as a GO or NO-GO. It also provides the leader with a historical record for five training iterations. 

 (k) Supporting individual tasks. This is a listing of all supporting individual tasks 

required to correctly perform the task. The task number and task title for each individual task are listed. 

 (l) Supporting collective tasks. This is a listing of all supporting collective tasks 

required to correctly perform the task. The task number and task title for each collective task are listed. 

 (m) Opposing forces tasks. These standards specify overall OPFOR performance for 

each collective task. The standards ensure that the OPFOR soldiers accomplish meaningful training and 

force the training unit to perform its task to standard or lose to the OPFOR. The OPFOR standards 

specify what must be accomplished—not how it must be accomplished. The OPFOR must always attain 

its task standards, using tactics consistent with the type of enemy being portrayed. 

 (2) Usage. The T&EOs can be used to train or evaluate a single task. Several T&EOs can 

be used to train or evaluate a group of tasks such as an STX or FTX. 

 f. Chapter 6, External Evaluation, provides instructions for the planning, preparation, and 

execution of an external evaluation. 

 g. Appendix A, Sample Operation Order, contains a sample operation order (OPORD) to be 

used with the exercise in Chapter 4. 

 h. Appendix B, Threat Analysis, describes local, regional, and global threats and special 

situations that impact operations. 

 i. Appendix C, Metric Conversion Chart, contains an English-to-metric measurement conversion 

chart.

1-4. Missions and Tasks. 

 a. This MTP concerns specific missions found in the TOE and an implied mission that the unit 

must perform in order to accomplish the specified missions. The critical missions are the focus for the 

unit. The commander may supplement these missions with his own. The following is a listing of the 

missions for the unit: 

z Provide power generation support. 

z Provide power distribution support. 

• Sustain unit operations. 

z Defend the unit. 

 z Conduct unit survivability operations. 

 b. Each of these tasks may be trained individually or jointly. Training is based on the criteria 

described in the T&EOs. Several T&EOs can be trained as an STX. Various combinations of STXs can 

be used to develop an FTX for the unit to practice its entire mission responsibility. Several STXs can be 

developed into an external evaluation that is designed by the next higher echelon to evaluate the ability of 

the unit to perform multiple missions under stress in a realistic environment. 

 c. Squad tasks are trained in much the same way as described above. However, the squad 

leader must also train the drills provided in the drill book. 

 d. Leader tasks that support unit missions are trained through STP training, battle simulations, 

and execution of unit missions. 

 e. Individual tasks that support unit tasks are mastered by training to standards outlined in the 

appropriate STPs. The T&EOs in Chapter 5 show the individual tasks that support collective-task training. 

1-5. Training Principles. This MTP is based on the training principles explained in Field Manual (FM) 7-0. 

1-6. Training Strategy. The training program, developed and executed by the engineer battalion to train 

to standards in its critical wartime missions, will be a component of the Army Combined Arms Training 

Strategy (CATS). The purpose of CATS is to provide direction and guidance on how the total Army will 

train and identify the resources required to support that training. CATS will provide the tools that enable 

the Army to focus and manage training in an integrated manner. Central to CATS is a series of 

proponent-generated unit and institutional strategies that describe the training events and resources 

required to facilitate training to standard. CATS will be embedded in the Standard Army Training System 

(SATS), version 4.1 and higher. The Web site for this information is http://www.atsc.army.mil/atmd/strac. 

 a. The unit training strategies central to CATS provide the commander with a descriptive menu 

for training. These strategies reflect that while there is an optimal way to train to standard, it is unlikely 

that all units in the Army will have the exact mix of resources required to execute an optimal training 

strategy. 

 b. The unit training strategy is a descriptive training strategy that provides a means for training 

the battalion to standard by listing required training events, critical training gates, training event 

frequencies, and training resources. The commander selects those tasks required to train his METL from 

this MTP. The training strategies to be provided in SATS 4.1 will provide the means whereby those tasks 

can be trained through a focused and integrated training plan. 

 c. The unit training strategy will be comprised of three separate training strategies. When 

integrated with the training tasks found in this MTP, they form a comprehensive and focused training 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 5 

strategy that allows the unit to train to standard. The elements of the unit training strategy are discussed 

below. 

 (1) Maneuver- and collective-training strategy. The maneuver- and collective-training 

strategy is intended to provide a set of recommended training frequencies for key training events in a unit 

and depicts those resources that are required to support the training events. 

 (2) Gunnery strategy. The gunnery strategy is based on weapons systems found in the unit 

and is intended to provide an annual training plan and to depict resources required to support weapons 

training. Data for the gunnery strategy comes from the Standards in Training Commission (STRAC) 

manual or the appropriate FMs. 

 (3) Soldier strategy. The soldier strategy provides an annual plan for training and 

maintaining skills at the individual level and lists the resources required to train a soldier. 

 d. A vital element in the unit training strategy is the identification of critical training gates. Critical 

training gates are defined as training events that must be conducted to standard before moving on to a 

more difficult or resource-intensive training event or task. Training gates follow the crawl, walk, run 

training methodology. For instance, if the unit training strategy calls for conducting an FTX, and an STX 

has been identified as a critical training gate for the FTX, the training tasks in the STX must be trained to 

standard before conducting the FTX. Standards for all tasks must be clearly defined so that the trainer 

can assess the preparedness of the soldiers, or units, to move on to more complex training events. The 

provision for critical training gates is made recognizing that the unit METL and the commander's 

assessment of his unit training status will determine the selection and timing of the collective-training 

exercises in a specific unit training strategy. 

 e. When developing the unit training plan, the commander identifies from the MTP the training 

tasks required to train his METL. 

1-7. Training Conduct. This MTP is designed to facilitate planning, preparing, and conducting unit 

training as explained in FMs 7-0 and 25-101. The commander performs the following: 

 a. Assigns the missions and supporting tasks for training based on his METL and guidance from 

the next higher headquarters (HQ). Trainers must plan and execute training to support this guidance. 

 b. Reviews the mission outline in Chapter 3 to determine whether the STXs and the FTXs 

provided will support, or can be modified to support, the command guidance. If they do not support the 

guidance or if they need to be modified, refer to the matrix in Chapter 2. This matrix provides a list of all 

critical collective tasks, drills, and individual tasks that must be mastered to perform the mission. 

 c. Prioritizes the tasks that need training. There is never time to train everything. Orient the 

training toward the greatest challenges and the most difficult sustainment skills. 

 d. Integrates training tasks into the training schedule, using the following procedures: 

 (1) List the tasks in the priority and frequency that they need to be trained. 

 (2) Determine the amount of time required and how to use multiechelon training for the best 

results. 

 (3) Determine where the training can take place. 

 (4) Determine who will be responsible for what. The leader of the element being trained 

must always be involved. 

 (5) Organize needs into blocks of time and training vehicles. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 6 

 e. Approves the list of tasks to be trained and schedules them on the unit training schedule. 

 f. Determines the equipment and supplies needed to conduct the training. 

 g. Keeps subordinate leaders informed, and oversees their training. The standards must be 

rigidly enforced. 

1-8. Force Protection. 

 a. Safety. Safety is a component of force protection. Commanders, leaders, and soldiers use risk 

assessment and risk management to tie force protection into the military around the mission. Risk 

management assigns responsibility, institutionalizes the commander review of operational safety, and 

leads to decision making at a level of command that is appropriate to the risk. The objective of safety is to 

help units protect combat power through accident prevention, which enables units to win quickly and 

decisively, with minimum losses. Safety is an integral part of all combat operations. Safety begins with 

readiness that determines the ability of the unit to perform its METL to standard. Readiness standards 

addressed during METL assessment are as follows: 

 (1) Soldiers with the self-discipline to consistently perform tasks to standard. 

 (2) Leaders who are ready, willing, and able to enforce standards. 

 (3) Training that provides skills needed for performance to standard. 

 (4) Standards and procedures for task preferences that are clear and practical. 

 (5) Support for task preference, including equipment, personnel, maintenance, facilities, and 

services. 

 b. Risk Management. Risk management addresses the root causes (readiness shortcomings) of 

accidents. It helps commanders and leaders identify and predict the next accident. Risk management is a 

way to put more realism into training without paying the price in deaths, injuries, or damaged equipment. 

Risk management is a five-step, cyclic process that is easily integrated into the decision-making process 

outlined in FM 101-5. 

 Step 1. Identify Any Hazards. Identify the most probable hazards for the mission. 

 Step 2. Assess the Hazards. Analyze each hazard to determine the probability of it causing an 

accident and the probable effect of the accident. Identify control options to eliminate or reduce the hazard. 

The Army standard risk assessment matrix in Figure 1-2 is a tool to use for assessing hazards.

Figure 1-2. Risk Assessment Matrix 

 Step 3. Make Risk Decisions. Weigh the risk against the benefits of performing the operation. 

Accept no unnecessary risks, and make any remaining risk decisions at the proper level of command. 

 Step 4. Implement Controls. Integrate specific controls into operation plans (OPLANs), 

OPORDs, standing operating procedures (SOPs), and rehearsals. Communicate controls to the individual 

soldier. 

 Step 5. Supervise. Determine the effectiveness of controls in reducing the probability and 

effect of identified hazards, to include a follow-up and an after-action review (AAR). Develop lessons 

learned. 

 c. Chain of Command. Safety demands total chain-of-command involvement in planning, 

preparing, executing, and evaluating training. Responsibilities of the chain of command include— 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 8 

 (1) Commanders. 

 (a) Seek optimum, not adequate, performance. 

 (b) Specify the risk you will accept to accomplish the mission. 

 (c) Select risk reductions provided by the staff. 

 (d) Accept or reject residual risk, based on the benefit to be derived. 

 (e) Train and motivate leaders at all levels to effectively use risk management 

concepts. 

 (2) Staff. 

 (a) Assist the commander in assessing risks and developing risk reduction options for 

training. 

 (b) Integrate risk controls in plans, orders, METL standards, and performance 

measures. 

 (c) Eliminate unnecessary safety restrictions that diminish training effectiveness. 

 (d) Assess safety performance during training. 

 (e) Evaluate safety performance during AARs. 

 (3) Subordinate leaders. 

 (a) Apply effective risk management concepts and methods consistently to the 

operations they lead. 

 (b) Report risk issues beyond their control or authority to their superiors. 

 (4) Individual soldiers. 

 (a) Report unsafe conditions and acts, and correct the situation when possible. 

 (b) Establish a buddy system to keep a safety watch on one another. 

 (c) Take responsibility for personal safety. 

 (d) Work as a team member. 

 (e) Modify your own risk behavior. 

 d. Fratricide. Fratricide is the employment of weapons, with the intent to kill the enemy or destroy 

its equipment, that results in unforeseen and unintentional death, injury, or damage to friendly personnel 

or equipment. Fratricide prevention is a component of force protection and is closely related to safety. 

Fratricide is, by definition, an accident. Risk assessment and risk management are mechanisms used to 

control the incidence of fratricide. 

 (1) Causes. The primary causes of fratricide are— 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 9 

 (a) Direct-fire control plan failures. These failures result when units fail to develop 

defensive and, particularly, offensive fire control plans. 

 (b) Land navigation failures. These failures result when units stray out of sector, report 

incorrect locations, or become disoriented. 

 (c) Combat identification failures. These failures include gunners or pilots being 

unable to distinguish thermal and optical signatures near the maximum range of their sighting systems 

and units in proximity mistaking each other for the enemy under limited-visibility conditions. 

 (d) Inadequate control measures. These occur when units fail to disseminate the 

minimum maneuver and fire support control measures that are necessary to tie control measures to 

recognizable terrain or events. 

 (e) Reporting communication failures. Units at all levels face problems in generating 

timely, accurate, and complete reports as locations and tactical situations change. 

 (f) Weapons errors. Lapses in individual discipline lead to charge errors, accidental 

discharges, mistakes with explosives or hand grenades, and similar incidents. 

 (g) Battlefield hazards. Unexploded ordnance (UXO), unmarked or unrecorded 

minefields, scatterable mines (SCATMINEs), and booby traps litter the battlefield. Failure to mark, record, 

remove, or anticipate these hazards increases the risk of friendly casualties. 

 (2) Results. Fratricide results in unacceptable losses and increases the risk of mission 

failure. Fratricide undermines the ability of the unit to survive and function. Units experiencing fratricide 

observe these consequences: 

 (a) Loss of confidence in unit leadership. 

 (b) Increase of self-doubt among leaders. 

 (c) Hesitation to use supporting combat systems. 

 (d) Oversupervision of units. 

 (e) Hesitation to conduct night operations. 

 (f) Loss of aggressiveness during fire and maneuver. 

 (g) Loss of initiative. 

 (h) Disrupted operations. 

 (i) General degradation of cohesiveness, morale, and combat power. 

1-9. Environmental Protection. Protection of natural resources has continued to become an everincreasing concern to the Army. It is the responsibility of all unit leaders to decrease and, if possible, 

eliminate damage to the environment when conducting training. Environmental risk management parallels 

safety risk management and is based on the same philosophy. Environmental risk management consists 

of the following steps: 

Step 1. Identify Any Hazards. Identify potential sources for environmental degradation during the 

analysis of METT-TC factors. This requires the identification of environmental hazards. An environmental 

hazard is a condition with the potential for polluting air, soil, or water and/or destroying cultural and 

historical artifacts. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 10 

Step 2. Assess the Hazards. Analyze the potential severity of environmental degradation using the 

environmental risk assessment matrix (Figure 1-3). Consider the severity of environmental degradation 

when determining the potential effect an operation will have on the environment. The risk impact value is 

defined as an indicator of the severity of environmental degradation. Quantify the risk to the environment 

resulting from the operation as extremely high, high, medium, or low, using the environmental risk 

assessment matrix. 

Figure 1-3. Environmental Risk Assessment Matrix 

Step 3. Make Environmental Risk Decisions. Make decisions and develop measures to reduce high 

environmental risks. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

1 - 11 

Step 4. Brief the Chain of Command. Brief the chain of command (to include the installation 

environmental office, if applicable) on proposed plans and pertinent high-risk environmental matrixes. 

Risk decisions are made at a level of command that corresponds to the degree of risk. 

Step 5. Implement Controls. Implement environmental-protection measures into plans, orders, 

SOPs, training performance standards, and rehearsals. 

Step 6. Supervise. Supervise and enforce environmental-protection standards. 

1-10. Evaluation. The T&EOs in Chapter 5 describe the standards that must be met for each task. 

 a. Evaluations can be either internal or external. Internal evaluations are conducted at all levels, 

and they must be inherent in all training. External evaluations are usually more formal and are normally 

conducted by a HQ that is two levels above the evaluated unit. See Chapter 6 for more information on 

external evaluations. 

 b. A critical weakness in training is the failure to evaluate each task every time it is executed. 

The ARTEP concept is based on simultaneous training and evaluation. Too often, leaders do not practice 

continuous evaluation. Soldiers or small units are trained to perform a task to standard, and then later, 

when they execute that task as part of a training exercise, they execute it poorly or incorrectly and are not 

corrected. For this program to work, trainers and leaders must continually evaluate training as it is being 

executed. 

 c. Leaders should emphasize direct, on-the-spot evaluations. Correcting poor performance 

during individual or small-group training is easy to do. In higher-level exercises, it is usually not feasible to 

do this with outside evaluators, but evaluations should not be totally eliminated. Plan AARs at frequent, 

logical intervals during the exercises (usually after the completion of a major subordinate task). This is a 

proven technique that allows the correction of performance shortcomings while they are still fresh in 

everyone’s mind. Also, it gets everyone involved and prevents the reinforcement of bad habits. 

 d. FM 25-101 provides detailed instructions for conducting an AAR. It also provides detailed 

guidance on coaching and critiquing during training. 

1-11. Feedback. Recommendations for improvement of this MTP are requested. Feedback will help to 

ensure that this MTP answers the training needs of units in the field. Please make your comments on 

DA Form 2028 or DA Form 7507 and send to the address reflected in the preface.

Mission Outlines/Training Plans

3-1. General. The mission outline illustrates the relationship between the missions and their support 

tasks. Each outline provides the trainer with a diagram of the unit mission, sample FTXs and/or STXs, 

and the collective tasks that comprise them. 

3-2. Mission Outlines. Since unit training is mission-oriented, the mission outline shows how task training 

contributes to the unit ability to perform its missions. The mission outlines, Tables 3-1 through 3-5, 

provide the commander with a visual outline of his unit missions in a format that facilitates the planning 

and management of training.

CHAPTER 4 

Training Exercise 

4-1. General. Training exercises are used to train and practice the performance of collective tasks. This 

MTP contains a sample FTX. It is designed to assist in developing, sustaining, and evaluating the unit 

mission proficiency. Table 4-1 lists the FTX by exercise number, title, and page number. 

Table 4-1. FTX Exercise 

Exercise Number Exercise Title Page 

FTX 5-1-E0001 Conduct Mobility Operations 4-1 

4-2. Field Training Exercise. The FTX is designed to provide a training method for the unit to train its 

critical wartime missions. It provides a logical sequence for the performance of the tasks previously 

trained in STXs. 

4-3. Situational Training Exercise. STXs are short, scenario-driven, mission-oriented tactical exercises 

used to train a group of closely related collective tasks. STXs provide the information for training the 

missions that make up the critical wartime mission. STXs— 

• Provide repetitive training of missions. 

• Allow the training to focus on identified weaknesses. 

• Allow the unit to practice the mission STX before conducting a higher-echelon FTX. 

• Save time by providing most of the information needed to develop a vehicle for training.

Movement Order 

1. SITUATION. Contact with the enemy has been broken. The enemy has withdrawn to vicinity 

NK 403087. It is being reinforced and is preparing to counterattack. The division is moving to occupy 

an assembly area (AA) in preparation of combat operations. 

2. MISSION. The 25th Brigade moves by tactical road march via route Monroe, commencing 011600 

hours to AA vicinity NK 243567. The order of march is TF A, TF B, and TF C. The interval between 

serials is 30 minutes. Close on the AA no later than 011900 hours. 

3. EXECUTION. 

 a. Concept of Movement. TF A will be the lead element with assistance from the military police 

(MP) for traffic control. TF B will follow 30 minutes after TF A. Brigade HQ will follow 30 minutes after 

TF B. TF C will follow 30 minutes after brigade HQ. 

 b. Tasks to Subordinate Units. The MPs will provide traffic control for the brigade movement. 

 c. Detailed Timings. None. 

 d. Coordinating Instructions. 

 (1) Start point (SP) NK 243567 at 011600 hours.

 (1) Current signal operation instructions (SOI) are in effect. 

 (2) Visual signals according to the unit SOP. 

Figure 4-2. Movement Order 

4. General Situation. 

 a. Contact with the enemy has been broken. The enemy has withdrawn deep to the rear, is being 

reinforced, and is preparing to counterattack within 24 hours. The enemy is expected to use nonpersistent 

nerve agents. Enemy air is expected to be active in the area. The latest intelligence summary (INTSUM) 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

4 - 6 

indicates that the enemy may have a company-size strong point in the brigade sector. Enemy units 

occupying the combat outpost are half strength. Counterattacking forces are expected to be full strength. 

 b. This exercise is conducted under all environments during both day and night operations. The 

company is operating in an arid environment. The company will operate under threat of NBC attacks, 

ground or air attacks, indirect fire, and electronic warfare (EW). 

 c. This exercise is conducted under Threat Level I, II, or III attacks. 

 d. The company should be prepared to relocate at least every three to four days. 

 e. The unit should be prepared to move by echelons while continuing to provide support to the 

assigned area. 

5. Special Situation. 

 a. The lead TF encounters an unexpected obstacle that prevents bypass. Enemy contact has 

been made. The brigade commander gives the following fragmentary order (FRAGO): 

 “TF, conduct breaching operations and continue the attack.” 

 b. After completing the breaches, the TF receives fire from an enemy position and encounters 

complex obstacles that prevent bypass. The attack is stalled. The unit is ordered to move in. 

6. Support Requirements. 

 a. Minimum Trainers and Observers/Controllers. The battalion commander or the Operations 

and Training Officer (US Army) (S3) who will be the trainer and the primary evaluator can conduct this 

task. At least one other observer/controller (O/C) is required for each engineer platoon and OPFOR 

platoon involved in this FTX. 

 b. Opposing Forces. 

 (1) OPFOR is required for the exercise to simulate Threat Level II and III activities. 

 (2) OPFOR should have specific missions and be controlled whenever used. 

 (3) The Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) can be used, or the trainer 

and O/C can assess the damage to equipment and personnel casualties. 

 c. Vehicles and Communications. Vehicles and communications equipment organic to the unit 

are used. Each trainer and O/C needs a vehicle and a radio. Radios are also required for OPFOR 

vehicles during mounted operations. 

 d. Maneuver Area. Depending on the local training area, an area with a minimum dimension of 

15 x 6 kilometers for the hasty attack is desirable. The terrain should offer multiple covered and 

concealed approaches to the objective area. Using terrain that limits the leader to a geographical or 

school solution does not allow an evaluation of the unit ability to conduct a terrain analysis and to select 

an appropriate course of action. 

 e. Consolidated Support Requirements. Company support requirements can be calculated by 

adding the total of the requirements for each participating subordinate element. See Table 4-3.

ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

5 - 73 

TASK STEPS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES GO NO-GO 

NOTES: 

1. Safety is a part of realism, and realism includes building safety into the 

training so that safe practices, which eliminate accidents, become second 

nature during war (refer to Field Manual [FM] 7-0). 

2. FM 3-0 emphasizes the need for boldness and that commanders must take 

"risks and tenaciously press soldiers and systems" as an imperative of the 

battle. However, such an imperative is founded on the premise that protecting 

the force to the maximum extent possible ensures winning the battle. Risk is an 

expression of possible loss over a specific period of time or number of 

operational cycles as defined by the Center for Army Safety.

CHAPTER 6 

External Evaluation 

6-1. General. An external evaluation is used to assess the ability of the unit to perform its mission. Units 

may modify this evaluation based on the METT-TC and other considerations as deemed appropriate by 

the commander. Selected T&EOs from Chapter 5 that involve the total unit and employ a realistic OPFOR 

and the MILES are used for the evaluation. At the completion of the evaluation, the commander can 

identify the unit strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses are the basis for future 

training and resource allocations. 

6-2. Preparing the Evaluation. The commander must standardize evaluation procedures to accurately 

measure the unit capabilities. Table 6-1 is a sample evaluation scenario that contains the mission and the 

appropriate tasks necessary to develop the scenario and execute the evaluation. Figure 6-1 is a graphic 

representation of the scenario. Selective tailoring is required because it is not possible to evaluate every 

task. Procedures for developing the evaluation are discussed below.

6-4. Selecting and Training Observers/Controllers. A successful evaluation depends heavily on selecting 

O/Cs with the proper experience, training them to fulfill their responsibilities, and supervising them 

throughout the evaluation. 

 a. A six-person O/C team comprised of the following personnel is suggested for performing an 

external evaluation: 

 (1) Senior O/C. 

 (2) Staff O/C. 

 (3) Operations O/C. 

 (4) Administration O/C. 

 (5) Logistics O/C. 

 (6) NBC O/C. 

 b. The O/Cs must have a thorough knowledge of the unit mission, organization, equipment, and 

doctrine. They must understand the overall operation of the unit and how it is integrated into and supports 

force protection operations. Team members must have a working knowledge of the common individual 

and collective tasks in areas such as local-defense convoy procedures, communications, and NBC 

operations. One member of the team must have detailed expertise in NBC and local-defense, commontask areas. The O/Cs should be equal in grade to the soldier in charge of the element they are evaluating, 

and should have previous experience in the position being evaluated. All team members must be able to 

make objective evaluations, function effectively as a team member, and state their findings in reports and 

briefings. 

 c. O/C training focuses on providing O/Cs with a general understanding of the overall evaluation, 

providing each O/C with a detailed understanding of the specific duties and responsibilities, and building a 

spirit of teamwork. O/C training includes— 

 (1) The overall evaluation design, general scenario, master events list, and the specific 

evaluation purposes and objectives. 

 (2) The unit METL and its linkage to the T&EOs and other materials contained in this MTP. 

 (3) The O/C team composition and general duties and responsibilities of each team 

member. 

 (4) The detailed responsibilities of individual team members, with special emphasis on the 

master events list items that are their responsibility. These include— 

 (a) A review of written instructions and materials contained in the O/Cs folders. 

 (b) A detailed reconnaissance of the area used for the evaluation. 

 (c) The O/C communications and command and control (C2) systems. 

 (d) Safety procedures. 

 (e) Evaluation data collection OPLAN and procedures. 

 (f) AAR procedures and techniques. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

6 - 5 

 (5) A talk-through of the entire evaluation. This includes war-gaming all items on the master 

events list in order of occurrence and reviewing each team member’s responsibilities and anticipated 

problems. 

 d. The senior O/C supervises the operation of the team. He provides the team leadership, 

focuses his efforts on ensuring that the O/Cs fulfill their responsibilities and adhere to the evaluation plan, 

resolves problems, synchronizes the efforts of the team members, ensures close coordination among 

team members, holds periodic team coordination meetings, plans and orchestrates the unit AAR, and 

conducts specific evaluation team AARs. 

6-5. Selecting and Training Opposing Forces. The OPFOR support for an external evaluation of the unit 

is limited to two squads of dismounted infantry and two to five individuals who serve as enemy agents. 

Although OPFOR support is only used for some tasks, proper training and employment of this force is 

important to ensure a proper assessment of the unit capabilities. 

 a. The OPFOR commander should be a company grade officer or a senior noncommissioned 

officer (NCO) who is well trained in OPFOR tactics and operations. In addition to the duties and 

responsibilities in leading various OPFOR elements, the OPFOR commander serves as a part-time 

member of the O/C team. In order to fulfill O/C responsibilities, the OPFOR commander must participate 

in O/C planning and training activities and must be present during AARs. 

 b. OPFOR elements are trained, organized, and equipped to operate in a manner that depicts 

threat forces as realistically as possible. The training includes— 

 (1) Threat tactics and rules of engagement. 

 (2) OPFOR missions and responsibilities. 

 (3) OPFOR tasks and standards. 

 (4) Threat weapons and equipment, if available. 

 (5) C2. 

 (6) Safety. 

6-6. Conducting the Evaluation. The senior O/C has overall responsibility for conducting the evaluation. 

He orchestrates the overall evaluation and the support provided by various individuals and elements that 

are specially selected and trained to fulfill designated functions and responsibilities. O/Cs must be free to 

observe, report, and record the actions of the unit. 

 a. The HQ two echelons above the unit being evaluated should select and train the control 

element for the evaluation. It issues orders, receives reports, provides feeder information, and controls 

the OPFOR. 

 b. All exercise participants and supporting personnel must ensure that every facet of the 

evaluation is conducted in a safe manner. Personnel observing unsafe conditions must take prompt 

action to halt them and must advise their superiors of the situation. 

6-7. Recording External Evaluation Information. The senior O/C is responsible for implementing the 

evaluation scoring system. Although the final evaluation is developed by the senior O/C, the full team 

participates in this process. Their reports reflect the overall ability of the combat engineer unit to 

accomplish its wartime missions. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

6 - 6 

 a. The evaluation scoring system is based on an evaluation of the unit performance of each 

mission-essential task and any other collective task contained in the overall evaluation plan. Use the 

following four steps for the evaluation: 

 Step 1. Identify the MTP T&EOs that correspond to each of the evaluation plan tasks. 

 Step 2. Use T&EO standards to evaluate the unit performances of the tasks. Do this for each 

evaluation plan task. 

 Step 3. Record on the T&EO a GO for each performance measure performed to standard and 

a NO-GO for each performance measure not performed to standard. 

 Step 4. Record the overall unit capability to perform the task by using the GO/NO-GO 

information recorded on each T&EO. Use the following definitions as guidance in making this 

determination: 

• GO. The unit successfully accomplished the task or performance measure to 

standard. 

• NO-GO. The unit did not accomplish the task or performance measure to standard. 

 b. Use DA Forms 7503, 7504, and 7505 to collect the evaluation information. These reports 

assist the team in recording the information concerning the unit capability to perform its wartime mission 

according to the established standards. This information will assist the senior O/C to determine the final 

overall unit rating. 

 (1) DA Form 7503 is used to record information concerning weather and terrain conditions 

present during the evaluation period. 

 (2) DA Form 7504 is used to record information concerning the element personnel and 

equipment losses during OPFOR engagements. 

 (3) DA Form 7505 is used to record personnel and equipment status. 

6-8. Preparing After-Action Reviews. AARs provide direct feedback to unit members by involving them in 

the diagnosis process and by enabling them to discover for themselves what happened during the 

evaluation. In this way, participants identify errors and seek solutions that increase the value of the 

training and reinforce learning. 

 a. The senior O/C is responsible for the AAR process. He coordinates the entire AAR program 

from the initial planning of the evaluation through the after-action phases. 

 b. Key steps in the AAR process are— 

 (1) Planning. Planning for AARs is started in the exercise preparation activities long before 

the start of the action evaluation. AARs are integrated into the general scenario at logical breakpoints and 

into the detailed evaluation scenario that is developed subsequently. Qualified O/Cs are selected and 

trained in the AAR process as part of O/C training. This phase also includes the identification of potential 

AAR sites and the requisition of equipment and supplies needed to conduct the AAR. 

 (2) Preparation. AAR preparation starts with the beginning of the actual evaluation. In 

addition to observing the unit performing its critical tasks, this phase includes the review of the training 

objectives, orders, and doctrine. Final AAR site selection is completed and times and attendance are 

established. AAR information is gathered from applicable O/Cs and unit personnel. The AAR is organized 

and rehearsed. 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

6 - 7 

 (3) Conduct. AARs are conducted at logical breakpoints in the exercise and at the end of 

the evaluation. When AAR participants have assembled, the AAR begins with the senior O/C introducing 

the session with a statement of the AAR purpose, the establishment of the AAR ground rules and 

procedures, and a restatement of the training and evaluation objectives. A successful AAR follows these 

guidelines: 

 (a) AARs are not critiques, but are professional discussions of training events. 

 (b) The senior O/C guides the discussion in a manner to ensure that participants 

openly discuss the lessons. 

 (c) Dialogue is encouraged among O/Cs and unit personnel. 

 (d) All individuals who participated in the evaluation should be present for the AAR. As 

a minimum, every unit or element that participates in the exercise is represented. 

 (e) Participants discuss not only what happened, but also why it happened and how it 

could have been done better. 

 (f) Participants review the sequence of events associated with hazards and the risk 

assessment made before the exercise. As a minimum, the review should address hazards that presented 

themselves (but were not identified) and each incident of fratricide or near fratricide and how it could be 

avoided in the future. 

 (g) Events not directly related to major events are not examined. 

 (h) Participants do not offer self-serving excuses for inappropriate actions. 

 (i) The AAR end result is that soldiers and leaders, through discovery learning, gain a 

better understanding of their individual and collective strengths and weaknesses and become more 

proficient in training for and performing their critical tasks. 

NOTE: Reference materials for conducting an AAR are Training Circulars (TC) 25-6 and 25-20 and 

FM 25-101.

Operation Order _____________ 20_____ Copy ___ of ___ copies 

25th Engineer Battalion

Task Organization: 

1. SITUATION. 

 a. Enemy Forces. Contact with the enemy has been broken. The enemy has withdrawn deep 

to the rear. It is being reinforced with motorized rifle forces and is preparing to counterattack within 

24 hours. The enemy is expected to use nonpersistent nerve agents. Enemy air is expected to be 

active in the area. The latest INTSUM indicates that the enemy may have a platoon-size combat 

outpost in the battalion sector. Enemy units occupying the combat outpost are half strength. 

Counterattacking forces are expected to be full strength. 

 b. Friendly Forces. 1st Brigade conducts a passage of lines to seize Objective Richmond. On 

order, 1st Brigade continues the attack forward of Phase Line (PL) Green. 

 (1) Missions of units on left and right flanks, as required. 

 (2) Supporting engineer unit missions, as required. 

 (3) Supporting fires: 2nd Battalion, 61st Field Artillery is in direct support. 

2. MISSION. The TF conducts a passage of lines and attacks to seize and secure Objective 

Richmond no later than 090600Z. On order, the TF prepares to continue movement forward of 

PL Green. 

3. EXECUTION. 

 a. Concept of the Operation: See the overlay developed by the trainer in the field. 

 (1) Maneuver. TF 1-25 departs AA Red Cloud with two company teams abreast and two 

teams following. Team A leads on Axis Oak and is the main attack. Team B leads on Axis Pine and is 

supporting the attack. Teams C and D follow on Axis Oak and Pine respectively. The commander’s 

intent is to gain contact with the enemy and locate and fix the main body of the enemy so that the 

brigade can conduct envelopments to destroy it. It is necessary to destroy enemy combat outposts. 

The unit must quickly reorganize and continue movement until the unit finds the main body. The 

company team that makes initial contact will attempt to fight through and destroy the enemy. If the unit 

cannot, they will provide a base of fire for maneuver with the remaining TF. The unit will continue 

movement to PL Green if no contact is gained. The unit will continue movement past PL Green on 

order. 

 (2) Fire support. The priority of fires is to Team A initially and then to the team that is in 

contact (once contact is made).

APPENDIX B - THREAT ANALYSIS 

B-1. Introduction. 

 a. Dramatic changes in Europe and within the former Soviet Union have reduced the likelihood of 

an east-west military confrontation in Europe. The threat in Europe has not gone away completely, but it 

is less immediate and has changed in nature. Despite reductions, Russia will still have the largest army in 

Europe. Regardless of the stated peaceful intentions of current Russian political leaders, the Russian 

Armed Forces still possesses formidable capabilities, and those capabilities will remain, should conditions 

and intentions change. Other former Soviet republics are forming their own armed forces and could pose 

threats to each other or to other countries in the region. In this time of turmoil and uncertainty, the former 

Soviet military power remains a potentially dangerous challenge to US and North Atlantic Treaty 

Organization (NATO) security. However, this remnant of the former Soviet threat is just one of many. 

 b. Many other nations are obtaining or developing sophisticated weaponry. Various regional 

conflicts could cause the US to intervene bilaterally or as part of a multinational coalition to protect our 

interests or those of our allies. Other potential conflict areas could call for a variety of responses by either 

the US, the former Soviet republics, or both. The threat may come in an organized military form, which 

may or may not follow the former Soviet model. It may also come in the form of insurgencies, terrorism, or 

narcotics trafficking. The US Army needs to be prepared to respond to this broad spectrum of potential 

threats that it could encounter in various contingencies. 

B-2. Global Threats. Modern weapons and the capability to project military power to great distances 

beyond its own national borders would characterize a global-type threat, such as the former Soviet one. 

Against such a potential adversary, the threat to rear operations would include the following: 

• Armored or mechanized forces breaking into the rear area. 

• Airborne, airmobile, or amphibious assault forces inserted into the rear area. 

• Long-range artillery, surface-to-surface missiles, or air strikes targeting rear-area assets. 

• NBC weapons. 

• Radio-electronic combat aimed at jamming or destroying our communications means and 

disrupting our C2. 

• Agents and saboteurs. 

B-3. Regional Threats. Regional threats, such as Iraq or North Korea, have less capability to project 

power. However, they may have some of the same weapons and organizations as a global threat. In fact, 

lessening superpower tensions are contributing significantly to the proliferation of sophisticated weaponry 

to emerging nations. This applies not only to conventional ground and air weapons, but also to chemical 

and nuclear weapons and missile systems. A mature regional power, possibly with a global power as a 

major source of its military hardware, emphasizes the ability to project its forces throughout a given 

region. 

B-4. Local Threats. Local threats have even more localized objectives and little capability to project 

power beyond their own borders or their immediate neighbors. They generally have less modern 

equipment than global or regional threat powers or at least a limited variety of modern weapons. Their 

equipment may include modern small arms and light artillery (such as mortars, howitzers, and rocket 

launchers), but often does not include sophisticated weapons such as long-range conventional artillery or 

high-performance aircraft. A local threat may be heavily supported by a regional threat or even by a 

global power. For example, in the past, Cuba assisted Soviet-backed movements in Angola, Nicaragua, 

and Ethiopia. This outside influence will often be reflected in the equipment, organization, or tactics of the 

local threat forces. However, the actions of a local threat are often limited to insurgencies, civil wars, or 
ARTEP 5-617-35-MTP 

B - 2 

border disputes. Insurgents, especially those with outside help, may be able to purchase modern 

weapons, but may not have developed a logistics base able to sustain continuous conflict. Therefore, 

they often concentrate on guerrilla tactics, sabotage, assassinations, booby traps, or explosives to 

achieve their objectives. 

B-5. Special Situations. 

 a. The threat in special situations includes terrorism. Terrorism may satisfy the objectives of 

different types of threats discussed above. Terrorists are the least likely threat to use conventional forces 

and thus are the hardest to anticipate or to train against. Terrorist tactics include the following: 

• Assassinating or maiming. 

• Arson. 

• Bombing. 

• Hijacking, kidnapping, or hostage taking. 

• Raids and seizure of facilities. 

• Sabotage. 

• Hoaxes (such as bomb threats). 

Terrorists may also be able to obtain weapons of mass destruction. A political leadership that supports 

terrorism, as in Iraq, may control such NBC weapons. If nuclear weapons are too difficult to obtain, 

terrorists may instead employ chemical or biological weapons. 

 b. Narcotics trafficking is another special-condition threat. It may be supported or tolerated by a 

global power for political or economic reasons. It may also be tied in with regional or local threat powers 

or with terrorism. There is often a marriage of convenience between insurgent groups and the drug 

cartels. The cartels can spend significant amounts of money on the latest in technology for 

communications and security to protect their operations. They can also buy weapons and otherwise 

finance regional insurgencies and cross-border conflicts. 

B-6. Bottom Line. The threat to rear operations includes all of the above categories. These threat 

categories are not mutually exclusive and may overlap with one another.
