Fires Brigade Training
Commanders determine how to train their units, and the manner chosen becomes the fires
brigade (FIB) commander’s training strategy. Field manual (FM) 7-15, training circular (TC)
3-09.8, and the Combined Arms Training Strategies for units collectively provide tasks and
events that FIB commanders may use to help develop their training strategy for the FIB.
B-1. Training and Readiness Authority (TRA). TRA derives from CG, FORSCOM command authority
(mission) for selected Title 10 functions (train, equip, administer) and is delegated to FORSCOM Corps,
Division, MSC, and brigade/group commanders. Once delegated by CG, FORSCOM, TRA cannot be
usurped by another commander. TRA is the authority for matters affecting the training and readiness of
specified units. This authority is inherent in command authority and may be delegated in whole or in part to
subordinate commanders. TRA is the execution of those functions of command involving the training,
manning, and equipping of units. Unless specified otherwise by the Senior Commander (SC), it includes
authority to give direction to an assigned or attached unit concerning unit readiness and organizational
training.
B-2. The FIB Commander can assist his TRA Commander in executing those functions involving the
training of all 13 series MOS within the BCT with the following actions.
In conjunction with the BCT Commanders provide training guidance and approve training
plans/programs.
Provide guidance and oversight for training standardization and certification.
In conjunction with the BCT Commanders provide Mission Essential Task List (METL) guidance
and approve unit METL.
In conjunction with the BCT Commanders assist in the development of the Mission Training Brief.
Assess state of training and provide training direction for 13 Series MOS.
Assess manpower, equipment, and training resource requirements; coordinate the obtaining of
needed resources.
In conjunction with the BCT Commanders review Unit Readiness Reports (USR).
Provide advice on the management and leader development of CMF 13 personnel and Field
Artillery/Fire Support equipment; including the cross-leveling between attached units on the same
installation (cross-leveling between installations will be directed by FORSCOM).
Assist the Division Commander in planning, preparing and executing Fires Battalion external
evaluations and major Fires Battalion training exercises.
B-3. TC 3-09.8 provides tables for the various unit sections and unit collective training with which to
structure a progressive and sequential fire support training strategy for the brigade combat team (BCT)
B-1
Appendix B
including dry-fire certification before live-fire qualification. The tables are not a strategy for training all
tasks and areas required for the BCT and its subordinate units to obtain a rating of “trained” on an external
evaluation as described in the unit CATS.
B-4. The tables do outline a plan for fire support training for the BCT. After completion of individual and
section qualifications the FIB must train sections, teams, and leaders to operate together as a platoon, then
battery or company, then battalion, or squadron, then as a FIB to provide timely and accurate fire support.
