Army Doctrine Reference Publication

Strong foundations support strong infrastructures, the concept that a base is equal or greater than the strength of the item mounted atop holds true in various concepts, physical and metaphorical. Soldier’s basic warrior tasks are the foundation for their development and the platform to build upon. Technical training is the infrastructure built throughout the career; each wall represents a portion of the technical skill that builds overall ability and performance. Two equally important concepts cannot each have the same level of importance, human nature constantly list items in sequences of importance and priority. Technical and basic soldier skills, build the total soldier concept, but time cannot split equally to satisfy both sides.

Operations test soldier’s ability to manage through diverse arenas, soldiers hold to their foundation training to succeed. Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADPR) 1 defines the core concepts of the Army profession, the text symbolizes a fighting force designed to meet the Nation’s needs. ADRP 1 breaks down military expertise in specific detail; every concept covered to ensure experts can manage their mission. The focus of the expertise guarantees design, generation, and application of land power and land operations (Headquarters Department of the Army , 2015).

Land operations focus on the force instead of a faction. Forces adapt to evolving, either technology or in doctrine, ensuring soldiers are qualified and trained in tactic and technical settings. The concept of a force’s training being standardized and fundamentally developed allows every faction of the force to remain capable of achieving mission success. Units possess similar training abilities and resources to ensure when compared to a mirror unit training are not the sole success

Soldiers cannot possess single-track mindsets, the force’s evolution is dependent on soldiers’ ability to function in a chaotic and often multi problematic environment. Technicians serve over 150 positions within the force, each specialty is required to facilitate and support the other. Twenty-six different types of MOS fall under the category of combat; only 17% of jobs have the capabilities and mission that allows them to focus almost exclusively on warrior proficiencies (US Army, 2014). The remaining 83% must balance and maintain proficiency in two phases during their service, technical and warrior.

Soldier Training Publication (STP) 21-1-Soldier’s Manual of Common Tasks (SMCT) Warrior Skills Level 1 details the fundamental training every soldier shall maintain regardless of MOS, rank, and position. STP 21-1-SMCT’s purpose is clear throughout the manual, to regulate the training requirements of the soldiers and guarantee a force’s ability to fight, survive, and win in any combat situation (Headquarters Department of the Army,
