Conduct after action reviews. Provide feedback to chain of command. Figure 5-1 lists important sources of information that assist leaders in assessing their units' training status and ability to accomplish wartime missions. The evaluation process is continuous. Therefore, evaluations must be planned for all training and considered as a way of life in the unit.
Training evaluation is integral to training management and is conducted by leaders at every level.
Evaluation of training measures the demonstrated ability of soldiers, leaders, and units to perform a task against Army standards. It is a snapshot, at a given time, on whether or not the task was conducted to standard under prescribed conditions. Each training event is evaluated during training execution. Assess METL task proficiency. Develop lessons learned for distribution throughout the command, and the Army, when applicable.
