Relevancy of the Mission Essential Task List (METL) Development Process

Abstract

Now, more than ever, the Army is in a constant state of transition. The Global War on Terror (GWOT), defense of the homeland, and modernization, all compete for priority and to shape the direction in which the Army will head. Even with the turmoil the transformation of the operational environment causes, commanders and leaders can still use the Mission Essential Task List (METL) development process to obtain relevant training strategies. Commanders should continue to use the METL development process despite the ongoing transformation of the Army's operational environment. The METL development process can assist commanders in their preparation for the GWOT and any other future crisis. The development process and the METL are still relevant tools in the constantly transforming operational environment.
