Awesome job Team!!!

The Ready Battalion has 22 Sustainers who’ve earned the Expert Soldier Badge (ESB) over the last 12 months across the entire formation. Let’s keep up the fire! Stay trained, fit, and discipline. Overall “Stay Ready” to keep from getting ready! Prepare for the challenge!

Training schedules are a important part of providing our Soldiers with predictability while enhancing the organization’s readiness. Utilizing the Army’s Digital Training Management System (DTMS) Digital Job Book is a great way for our Soldiers to forecast and prepare for training events. This is how we build readiness while developing cohesive teams that can fight and win.

Once training schedules are approved, the commander posts them in the company area and through the Digital Training Management System (DTMS). Posting the schedule through DTMS allows all Soldiers and leaders to access the schedule through their Digital Job Book using personal digital devices.

After the training schedule is approved, substantive changes should not occur. However, change is sometimes unavoidable. The company commander can make simple administrative changes to the schedule, such as adding references or changing the instructor. Substantive changes to tasks trained, dates, or cancellations require higher commander approval.

Accurate and comprehensive training schedules are critical for realistic, multi-echelon training. Communicating change and updating training schedules once approved is vital to successful training events.

Chapter 3 of FM 7-0 covers Company Training Schedules in depth. Learn more at https://atn.army.mil
