Why should training be prioritized by current unit proficiencies?

• A. To ensure mission-oriented tasks are trained first by how well the unit performs them.
• B. To increase administrative overhead.
• C. To reduce the number of training events.
• D. To defer ancillary training.

Answer: (A)

Direct training efforts toward what the unit must perform in missions and where its current performance is weakest. When you base training on current proficiencies, you allocate limited time, resources, and practice opportunities to mission-critical tasks and to closing the gaps that most affect success. This targeted approach quickly raises readiness for upcoming operations and reduces risk in real-world tasks. Training other areas or trying to cut events would waste effort and leave important capabilities underdeveloped, while ancillary training should fit around and support the prioritized tasks rather than replace them.
