How to Conduct a Training Meeting


Rev. 4/21/2005 Slide 26 of 12

Company Training Meetings Training meetings are non-negotiable—they

are key to near-term planning. Training meetings create the bottom-up flow of

information regarding specific training proficiency needs of the small unit, staff, and individual soldier.

Training meetings are planned and appear on the training schedule.
