In preparing a battalion to be deployed into a theater of war, the specific items on which training is focused become critical. Too many times in the past battalion commanders have attempted to do everything; thus their units became proficient in nothing. This paper is intended to provide the training approach one battalion commander utilized in order to refine a focus on those critical items necessary to win in war. In brief, how you develop a Mission Essential TAsk List (METL) within a battalion so soldiers are prepared to face combat and be victorious.
