How does FM 7-1 categorize training events?

FM 7-1 categorizes training events primarily into individual, collective, and leader training events as a framework to effectively organize and enhance the training process. This categorization allows military leaders to design training that is focused on the specific needs and roles within a unit or organization.

Individual training events focus on developing the skills and knowledge of individual soldiers, ensuring that they can perform their tasks competently. Collective training events emphasize teamwork and cooperation among soldiers, fostering unit cohesion and operational effectiveness. Leader training events are specifically designed to prepare those in leadership roles to lead and manage both individuals and teams effectively.

This structured categorization aligns with the principles of battle-focused training by ensuring that all training activities are purposeful and directed towards improving overall mission readiness and effectiveness in various operational contexts.
