JRTC to Just Cause: A Case Study Light Infantry Training

Abstract

This study examines the significant training experiences of the 5th Battalion, 21st Infantry, 2d Brigade, 7th Infantry Division (Light) as it prepared for Joint Readiness Training Center Rotation (JRTC) 90-1 in October 1989. On December 19, 1989, the unit deployed on Operation JUST CAUSE as the 7th Infantry Division (Light) Division Ready Force One. The seven battlefield operating systems (BOS) outlined in U.S. Army Field Manual 25-100: Training the Force, November 1988, serves as the focal point for the unit's preparation for JRTC and its combat operations during Operation JUST CAUSE. This study can provide light infantry battalion and brigade commanders a broader understanding on how to improve light infantry training.
