Development of Prototype Combined Arms Training Strategies and Battalion Level Training Models (BLTM)

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to document the development of a training model which supports an Armor (M1A1) Battalion's combined arms training strategy. This Battalion Level Training Model (BLTM), with its training and resource allocation strategies, will serve as a prototype for guiding and standardizing the combined arms training strategies (CATS) of nine other battalion types. This report includes a project summary the prototype development methodology, a description of the CATS Matrix, and the Revised Draft Armor BLTM. This project consisted of two thrusts; the first involved the design/development of a methodology or a system of principles, procedures, and practices that could be applied across many different types of battalions to guide and standardize the implementation of CATS; the second thrust called for applying this methodology to implement a Battalion Level Training Model which supports an Armor (M1A1) Battalions combined arms training strategy and serves as the prototype for the development of training strategies for other battalion types.
