CTC trends FY16.
No full textThis CTC Trends Bulletin identifies trends for fiscal year 2016 across the CTCs, based on observations from observer–coach/trainers (OC/Ts) and collection and analysis teams from the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL), with support from various Army Centers of Excellence. A trend is defined in Army Regulation 11-33, Army Lessons Learned Program (14 JUN 2017), as “an identified issue or best practice supported by three or more observations from multiple sources within a reasonable period.” CALL collects observations, best practices, and training results from OC/Ts at the CTCs; analyzes them; and compiles them annually in a publication. Organized by Army tactical tasks from the Army Universal Task List, these CTC trends reflect both positive performance (sustains) and areas that need emphasis (improves). CTC trends provide valuable information to units developing and executing training for deployment to a CTC or an operational environment. Each chapter includes recommendations for units to successfully execute identified tasks. This provides a reference for training emphasis at home station. Additionally, identifying and analyzing trends allow doctrine writers, training developers, and other Army problem solvers to receive successful techniques and identify gaps in capability for doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, and personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions. Applying the lessons learned at the unit or the institutional level from trends that are identified enables the Army to be a continually learning organization.

CALL Insider, Jul-Aug 2017.
No full textThis month we delivered several highly anticipated products that I am sure will benefit your units and formations. The “Radio and System Operators Handbook,” Version 2, updates one of our most requested products with step-bystep instructions for operating radios and systems up through Capability Set 15. We also released “Ten Fundamental Brigade Combat Team Skills Required to Win the First Fight” and “Fighting with Fires” in collaboration with the subject matter experts at the National Training Center. I think you will find these newsletters useful as you prepare for decisive action rotations. We are launching a “Key Insights” section in this issue of the CALL Insider featuring observations from the field that deserve wider distribution to the force. The results from the 2017 Gainey Cup provide several challenges scout teams faced that apply more generally to training shortfalls in other unit formations
News from the CTC: Brigade Combat Team Army Health System operations.
No full textFor more than a decade, the Army and the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) have been dedicated to mastering Army Health System (AHS) operations during counterinsurgency operations (COIN). The Army has championed point of injury care (POI), changing the landscape of battlefield and trauma medicine throughout the world with staggering success. Preventable battlefield deaths are historically low due to the remarkable impact of tactical combat casualty care (TC3) and the rapidity of clinical practice guideline (CPG) updates that affect every role of care. As the focus of the Army shifts from COIN operations towards the hybrid threat inherent in the decisive action (DA) environment, our combat training centers (CTCs) prepare units for this austere and dynamic threat that places AHS operations on the forefront of the operation. This emphasis once again highlights the need for AHS integration into planning, training, and execution at all levels. At the National Training Center (NTC), we continue to observe areas for greater understanding and application of the complexities of AHS operations in the DA environment at the company (Co), battalion (BN), and brigade (BDE) level. Failure to grasp the integrated hybrid threat effects on AHS operations across the formation results in marked increases in died of wounds (DOW) rates, primarily resultant of poor mission command and shared understanding across the formations. Failure to fully integrate AHS operations into home station training negatively impacts the already steep learning curve inherent to the CTC environment. In the following, we will discuss common AHS challenges experienced by brigade combat teams (BCTs) and what courses of action (COAs) and best practices have proven most effective in mitigating or eliminating them
