Scenario: A battalion commander is facing difficulty meeting all training requirements due to limited field training days and the increasing demand for administrative compliance tasks. The unit is preparing for a deployment, and Soldiers must be proficient in multiple METL tasks. The commander has asked the operations NCO and battalion SGM to help determine what should take priority during the next 60-day training cycle. Question: Based on Army training doctrine, what is the most effective course of action for the battalion's leadership to manage the competing demands on training time? A. Focus exclusively on individual training and defer collective training to conserve time and resources. B. Conduct all METL tasks in sequence, regardless of available time, to ensure comprehensive exposure. C. Prioritize training using METL-based Combined Arms Training Strategies (CATS) tailored to mission readiness and available resources. D. Delay training until more resources and time are available, using simulations to fill the gap
