MUSIC T&R MANUAL

CHAPTER 1

OVERVIEW

1000. INTRODUCTION

1. The training and readiness (T&R) program is the Corps' primary tool for

planning, conducting and evaluating training, and assessing training

readiness. Subject matter experts (SME) from the operating forces (OPFOR)

developed core capability mission essential task lists (METL) for ground

communities derived from the Marine Corps task list. This T&R Manual is

built around these METLs and other related Marine Corps tasks (MCT). All

events contained in this Manual relate directly to these METLs and

MCTs. This comprehensive T&R program will help to ensure the Marine Corps

continues to improve its combat readiness by training more efficiently and

effectively. Ultimately, this will enhance the Marine Corps' ability to

accomplish real-world missions.

2. This T&R Manual contains the collective and individual training

requirements to prepare units to accomplish their combat mission. This T&R

Manual is not intended to be an encyclopedia that contains every minute

detail of how to accomplish training. Instead, it identifies the minimum

standards that Marines must be able to perform in combat. This T&R Manual is

a fundamental tool for commanders to build and maintain unit combat

readiness. Using this tool, leaders can construct and execute an effective

training plan that supports the unit's METL. More detailed information on

the Marine Corps ground T&R program is found in reference (a).

3. This T&R Manual is designed for use by unit commanders to determine pre-

deployment training requirements in preparation for training and for formal

schools and training detachments to create programs of instruction. This

manual focuses on individual and collective tasks performed by OPFOR units

and supervised by personnel in the performance of unit mission essential

task(s) (MET).

1001. UNIT TRAINING

1. The training of Marines to perform as an integrated unit in combat lies

at the heart of the T&R program. Unit and individual readiness are directly

related. Individual training and the mastery of individual core skills serve

as the building blocks for unit combat readiness. A Marine's ability to

perform critical skills required in combat is essential.

2. Commanders will ensure that all training is focused on their combat

mission. Unit training should focus on achieving proficiency in the unit

METL. This T&R Manual is a tool to help develop the unit's training plan

based on the unit METL, as approved by their higher commander and reported in

the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS). Training will support the

unit METL and be designed to meet T&R standards. Commanders at all levels

are responsible for effective combat training. The conduct of standards

based training consistent with Marine Corps T&R standards cannot be over

emphasized.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-3 Enclosure (1)

1002. UNIT TRAINING MANAGEMENT

1. Effective unit training management (UTM) focuses the overall organization

on development of training plans based on the unit METL and standards-based

community T&R events. This is accomplished in a manner that maximizes

training results and focuses the training priorities of the unit in

preparation for the conduct of its mission.

2. Unit training management techniques, described in reference (b), (c), and

(d) provide commanders with the requisite tools and techniques to analyze,

design, develop, implement, and evaluate the training of their unit. To

maintain an efficient and effective training program, leaders at every level

must understand and implement UTM.

1003. SUSTAINMENT AND EVALUATION OF TRAINING

1. Marines are expected to maintain proficiency in the training events for

their military occupational specialty (MOS) at the appropriate grade or

billet to which assigned. Leaders are responsible for recording the training

achievements of their Marines. For collective or individual training events

not executed and evaluated as part of the daily routine, leaders must ensure

proficiency is sustained by requiring retraining of each event at or before

expiration of the designated sustainment interval.

2. The evaluation of training is necessary to properly prepare Marines for

combat. Evaluations are either formal or informal, and performed by members

of the unit (internal evaluation) or from an external command (external

evaluation). The purpose of formal and informal evaluation is to provide

commanders with a process to determine a unit's/Marine's proficiency in the

tasks that must be performed in combat. Informal evaluations are conducted

during every training evolution. Formal evaluations are often scenario-

based, focused on the unit's METs, based on collective training standards,

and usually conducted during higher-level collective events.

3. Evaluation is a continuous process that is integral to training

management and is conducted by leaders at every level and during all phases

of planning and the conduct of training. To ensure training is efficient and

effective, evaluation is an integral part of the training plan. Ultimately,

leaders remain responsible for determining if the training was effective.

1004. ORGANIZATION. This Music T&R Manual is comprised of ten chapters and

two appendices. Chapter 1 is an overview of the ground T&R program. Chapter

2 lists the core MCTs supported by the Music community. Chapter 3 contains

collective events. Chapters 4 through 10 contain individual events specific

to a particular MOS and/or billet, as noted. Appendix A contains acronyms

and Appendix B contains terms and definitions.

1005. T&R EVENT CODING

1. Event Code. The event code is an up to 4-4-4 alphanumeric character set:

a. First up to 4 characters indicate MOS or community (e.g., 0321, 1812

or INTL)

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-4 Enclosure (1)

b. Second up to 4 characters indicate functional or duty area (e.g. DEF,

FSPT, MVMT, etc.)

c. Third 4 characters indicate the unit size and supported unit, if

applicable (1000 through 9000), and sequence. Figure 1-1 shows the

relationship of unit size to event code. NOTE: The titles for the various

echelons are for example only, and are not exclusive. For example: 4000-

level events are appropriate for section-level events as noted, but also for

squad-level events.

2. Grouping. Categorizing events with the use of a recognizable code makes

the type of skill or capability being referenced fairly obvious. Examples

include: PAT for patrolling events, DEF for events in the defense, FSPT for

events related to fire support, etc. There is no special significance to the

functional areas, but they should be intuitive to make it as easy as possible

for the T&R user to find events. When organizing this T&R Manual, functional

areas are alphabetized then the associated events are numbered. The events

will be numbered based upon the introduction of each new functional area,

allowing up to "999" events. For example: if there are seven administrative

events 4431 occupational field (OccFld), then the events should start 4431-

ADMN-1001 and run through 1007. Next, the bulk fuel events, BUFL should

start at 4431-BUFL-1001.

3. Sequencing. A numerical code is assigned to each collective (3000-9000

level) or individual (1000-2000 level) training event. The first number

identifies the size of the unit performing the event, as depicted in figure

1-1. Exception: Events that relate to staff planning, to conduct of a

command operations center, or to staff level decision making processes will

be numbered according to the level of the unit to which the staff

belongs. For example: an infantry battalion staff conducting planning for

an offensive attack would be labeled as INF-PLAN-7001 even though the entire

battalion is not actively involved in the planning of the operation. T&R

event sequence numbers that begin with "9" are reserved for Marine air-ground

task force (MAGTF) command element events. An example of event coding is

displayed in figure 1-2.

1. An event contained within a T&R manual is a collective or individual

training standard. This section explains each of the components that make up

the T&R event. These items will be included in all of the events in each T&R

manual. Community-based T&R manuals may have several additional components

not found in unit-based T&R manuals. The event condition, event title

(behavior) and event standard should be read together as a grammatical

sentence.

2. An example of a collective T&R event is provided in figure 1-3 and an

example of an individual T&R event is provided in figure 1-4. Events shown

in figures are for illustrative purposes only and are not actual T&R events.

3. Evaluation-Coded (E-Coded). Collective events categorize the

capabilities that a given unit may be expected to perform. There are some

collective events that the Marine Corps has determined that a unit MUST be

able to perform, if that unit is to be considered fully ready for

operations. These E-Coded events represent the irreducible minimum or the

floor of readiness for a unit. These E-Coded events are derived from the

training measures of effectiveness (MOE) for the METs for units that must

report readiness in DRRS. It would seem intuitive that most E-Coded events

would be for battalion sized units and higher since those are the units that

report in DRRS. However, if the Marine Corps has determined that the

readiness of a subordinate, supporting unit to accomplish a particular

collective event is vital to the accomplishment of the supported unit's MET,

then that lower echelon collective event is E-Coded.

4. Supported MET(s). List all METs that are supported by the training event

in the judgment of the OccFld drafting the T&R manual, even if those events

are not listed as MOE in a MET.

5. Sustainment Interval. It is critical to understand the intent of the

sustainment interval so training time is not wasted with duplicated

training. Sustainment interval is expressed in number of months. Most

individual T&R events and many lower level collective events are never out of

sustainment because they are either part of a Marine's daily routine, or are

frequently executed within the sustainment interval. Sustainment interval is

relevant when an individual or collective event is not observed and evaluated

within the sustainment period, has atrophied, and therefore retraining and

evaluation is required.

6. Billet/MOS. Each individual training event will contain a billet code

and/or MOS that designates who is responsible for performing that event and

any corresponding formal course required for that billet. Each commander has

the flexibility to shift responsibilities based on the organization of his

command. These codes are based on recommendations from the collective

subject matter expertise that developed this manual and are listed for each

event.

7. Grade. The grade field indicates the rank at which Marines are required

to complete the event.

8. Description. This field allows T&R developers to include an explanation

of event purpose, objectives, goals, and requirements. It is a general

description of an action requiring learned skills and knowledge, i.e., engage

fixed target with crew-served weapons. This is an optional field for

individual events but is required for collective events. This field can be

of great value guiding a formal school or OPFOR unit trying to discern the

intent behind an event that might not be readily apparent.

9. Condition. Condition refers to the constraints that may affect event

performance in a real-world environment. It indicates what is provided

(equipment, tools, materials, manuals, aids, etc.), environmental constraints

or conditions under which the task is to be performed, and any specific cues

or indicators to which the performer must respond. Commanders can modify the

conditions of the event to best prepare their Marines to accomplish the

assigned mission (e.g. in a desert environment; in a mountain environment;

etc.). When resources or safety requirements limit the conditions, this

should be stated. The content of the condition should be included in the

event on a "by exception" basis. If there exists an assumption regarding the

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-8 Enclosure (1)

conditions under which all or most of the events in the manual will be

performed, then only those additional or exceptional items required should be

listed in the condition. The common conditions under which all the events in

a chapter will be executed will be listed as a separate paragraph at the

beginning of the chapter.

10. Standard. The performance standard indicates the basis for judging the

effectiveness of the performance. It consists of a carefully worded

statement that identifies the proficiency level expected when the task is

performed. The standard provides the minimum acceptable performance

parameters and must be strictly adhered to. The standard for collective

events will likely be general, describing the desired end-state or purpose of

the event. The standard for individual events will be objective,

quantifiable, and readily observable. Standards will more specifically

describe to what proficiency level, specified in terms of accuracy,

completeness, time required, and sequencing the event is to be

accomplished. These guidelines can be summarized in the acronym "ACTS"

(Accuracy Completeness Time Sequence). In no cases will "per the reference"

or "per/in accordance with commander's intent" be used as a stand-alone

standard.

11. Event Components/Performance Steps. Description of the actions that the

event is composed of, or a list of subordinate, included T&R event and event

descriptions. The event components help the user determine what must be

accomplished and the proper sequence of execution of subordinate

events. Event components are used for collective events; performance steps

are used for individual events.

a. The event components and performance steps will be consciously

written so that they may be employed as performance evaluation check lists by

the OPFORs. They must be sequenced to demonstrate the building block

approach to training.

b. Event components may be events one individual in the unit performs,

events that small groups in the unit perform, or events involving the entire

unit.

12. Chained Events. Enables unit leaders to effectively identify

prerequisite, supporting, and supported events that ultimately support

MCTs/METs. Supported events are chained to supporting events to enable the

accomplishment of the supported event to standard and therefore are

considered "chained". The completion of identified supported events can be

utilized to update sustainment interval credit for supporting events, based

on the assessment of the commander.

13. Prerequisite Events. Prerequisites are academic training or other T&R

events that must be completed prior to attempting the task. They are lower-

level events or tasks that give the individual/unit the skills required to

accomplish the event. They can also be planning steps, administrative

requirements, or specific parameters that build toward mission

accomplishment.

14. Supported Event. An event whose performance is inherently supported by

the performance of one or more supporting events. A supported event will be

classified as internal supported if it has been developed specifically for

the community. A supported event that has been chained to an event from an

external community T&R will be classified as external supported.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-9 Enclosure (1)

15. Supporting Event. An event whose performance inherently supports the

performance of a supported event. A supporting event will be classified as

internal supporting if it has been developed specifically for the

community. A supporting event that has been chained to a community event

from an external community T&R will be classified as external supporting.

16. Initial Training Setting. All individual events will designate the

setting at which the skill is first taught, either formally, Marine on the

Job Training (MOJT) within the OPFOR, or via a distance learning product

(DL).

17. References. The training references shall be utilized to determine task

performance steps. They assist the trainee in satisfying the performance

standards, or the trainer in evaluating the effectiveness of task

completion. T&R manuals are designed to be a training outline, not to

replicate or replace doctrinal publications, reference publications or

technical manuals. References are key to developing detailed lesson plans,

determining grading criteria, and ensuring standardization of training. For

individual events only one authoritative reference is required.

18. Distance Learning Products. Distance learning products

include: Individual multimedia instruction, computer-based training,

MarineNet, etc. This notation is included when, in the opinion of the T&R

manual group charter in consultation with the Marine Air-Ground Task Force

T&R Standards Division representative, the event can be taught via one of

these media vice attending a formal course of instruction or receiving MOJT.

19. Support Requirements. This is a list of the external and internal

support the unit and Marines will need to complete the event. This is a key

section in the overall T&R effort, as resources will eventually be tied

directly to the training towards METS. Future efforts to attain and allocate

resources will be based on the requirements outlined in the T&R manual. The

list includes, but is not limited to:

 Range(s)/Training Area

 Ordnance

 Equipment

 Materials

 Other Units/Personnel

The ordnance requirements for one year of training for the events in the T&R

will be aggregated into a table contained in an appendix to the T&R. The

task analyst and the OccFld representatives will be careful not to "double

count" ammunition that might be employed in the performance of collective and

individual events that are chained.

20. Suitability of Simulation/Simulators/DL products. The following

"Suitability and Sequence" codes listed in figure 1-5 have been developed to

communicate characteristics for employing simulations during training. Units

of measure have been assigned based on the amount of time it takes a Marine

or unit to train to task utilizing a particular simulator. Suitability and

sequence codes are captured in the event title in a parenthetical remark, as

well as within the simulation field of the T&R event. The simulation field

also identifies the type of simulation, units of measure, and any other

pertinent information.

Figure 1-5. Suitability and sequence codes

a. Training simulation capabilities offer an opportunity to build and

sustain proficiency while achieving and/or maintaining certain economies.

Commanders should take into consideration simulation tools as a matter of

course when designing training.

b. Simulation Terms:

(1) Simulation: A model of a system animated discretely or

continuously over a period of time. A simulation may be closed-loop (i.e.,

it executes based in initial inputs without human intervention), or it may be

open-loop (i.e., human input to alter the variables in the system during

execution is allowed). A simulation is an approximation of how the modeled

system will behave over time. Simulations are constructed based on verified

and validated mathematical models of actual systems. Simulations can be very

simple or complex depending on the degree of fidelity and resolution needed

to understand the behavior of a system.

(2) Simulator: A simulator is the physical apparatus employed as the

interface for humans to interact with a model or observe its output. A

simulator has input controls and outputs in the form of human sensory stimuli

(visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile/haptic, and taste). For instance, some

of the features of the vehicle cab (the seat, steering wheel, turn signals,

accelerator pedal, brakes, and windshield) and projection screen. Both the

vehicle cab and projection screen are the interface by which a human being

interacts with the simulated environment of a driving a vehicle and observe

the outputs of the mathematical models of vehicle dynamics.

(3) Model: A mathematical representation of the behavior (i.e.,

shows the behavior of projectiles, combat simulations, etc.) of a system at a

distinct point in time.

(4) Live: Real people operates real systems to include both live

people operating real platforms or systems on a training range and battle

staffs from joint, component or service tactical headquarters using real

world command and control systems.

(5) Virtual: Real people operating simulated systems. Virtual

simulations inject humans-in-the-loop in a central role by exercising motor

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-11 Enclosure (1)

control skills (e.g., flying an air platform simulator, engaging targets in

indoor simulated marksmanship trainer), decision skills, and/or communication

skills.

(6) Constructive: Models and simulations that involve simulated

people operating simulated systems (i.e., MAGTF Tactical Warfare

Simulation). Real people make inputs to such simulations, but are not

involved in determining the outcomes.

(7) Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) Training

Environment: Defined by combining any of the three training domains LVC to

create a common operational environment, by which units can interact across

LVC domains as though they are physically located in the same operational

environment.

(8) Distance Learning: Any instruction and evaluation provided

through a variety of DL delivery systems (i.e., MarineNet) where the students

and instructors are separated by time and/or location.

a. This field provides space for any additional information that will

assist in the planning and execution of the event. Units and formal learning

centers are cautioned not to disregard this information or to consider the

information of lesser importance than what is contained in other parts of the

T&R event. Miscellaneous fields provide an opportunity for the drafters of

the T&R event to communicate vital information that might not fit neatly into

any other available field. The list may include, but is not limited to:

 Admin Instructions

 Special Personnel Certifications

 Equipment Operating Hours

1. The Marine Corps ground T&R program includes processes to assess

readiness of units and individual Marines. Every unit in the Marine Corps

maintains a basic level of readiness based on the training and experience of

the Marines in the unit. Even units that never trained together are capable

of accomplishing some portion of their missions. Combat readiness assessment

does not associate a quantitative value for this baseline of readiness, but

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-12 Enclosure (1)

uses a "Combat Readiness Percentage" as a method to provide a concise

descriptor of the recent training accomplishments of units and Marines.

2. Combat readiness percentage is the percentage of required training events

that a unit or Marine accomplishes within specified sustainment intervals.

3. Unit combat readiness is assessed as a percentage of the successfully

completed and current (within sustainment interval) key training events

called E-Coded Events. E-Coded events and unit CRP calculation are described

in follow-on paragraphs. The CRP achieved through the completion of E-Coded

Events is directly relevant to readiness assessment in DRRS.

1008. CRP CALCULATION

1. Collective training begins at the 3000-level (team, crew, or

equivalent). Unit training plans are designed to accomplish the events that

support the unit METL while simultaneously sustaining proficiency in

individual core skills. E-Coded collective events are the only events that

contribute to unit CRP. This is done to assist commanders in prioritizing

the training toward the METL, taking into account resource, time, and

personnel constraints.

2. Unit CRP increases after the completion of E-Coded events. The number of

E-Coded events for the MET determines the value of each E-Coded event. For

example, if there are 4 E-Coded events for a MET, each is worth 25% of MET

CRP. The MET CRP is calculated by adding the percentage of each completed

and current (within sustainment interval) E-Coded training event. The

percentage for each MET is calculated the same way and all are added together

and divided by the number of METS to determine unit CRP. For ease of

calculation, we will say that each MET has four E-Coded events, each

contributing 25% towards the completion of the MET. If the unit has

completed and is current on three of the four E-Coded events for a given MET,

then they have completed 75% of the MET. The CRP for each MET is added

together and divided by the number of METS to get unit CRP; unit CRP is the

average of MET CRP.

For Example:

MET 1: 75% complete (3 of 4 E-Coded events trained)

MET 2: 100% complete (6 of 6 E-Coded events trained)

MET 3: 25% complete (1 of 4 E-Coded events trained)

MET 4: 50% complete (2 of 4 E-Coded events trained)

MET 5: 75% complete (3 of 4 E-Coded events trained)

To get unit CRP, simply add the CRP for each MET and divide by the number of

METS:

MET CRP: 75 + 100 + 25 + 50 + 75 = 325

Unit CRP: 325 (total MET CRP)/5 (total number of METS) = 65%

3. Combat readiness percentage is a valuable tool to assist commanders in

readiness reporting by providing objective data to support and inform their

subjective assessment.

1009. CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL RADIOLOGICAL NUCLEAR TRAINING

1. All personnel assigned to the OPFOR must be trained in chemical,

biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense in order to survive and

continue their mission in this environment. Individual proficiency standards

are defined as survival and basic operating standards. Survival standards

are those that the individual must master in order to survive CBRN

attacks. Basic operating standards are those that the individual, and

collectively the unit, must perform to continue operations in a CBRN

environment.

2. In order to develop and maintain the ability to operate in a CBRN

environment, CBRN training is an integral part of the training plan and

events in this T&R Manual. Units should train under CBRN conditions whenever

possible. Per reference (c), all units must be capable of accomplishing

their assigned mission in a contaminated environment.

1010. NIGHT TRAINING

1. While it is understood that all personnel and units of the OPFOR are

capable of performing their assigned mission in "every clime and place,

"current doctrine emphasizes the requirement to perform assigned missions at

night and during periods of limited visibility. Basic skills are

significantly more difficult when visibility is limited.

2. To ensure units are capable of accomplishing their mission they must

train under the conditions of limited visibility. Units should strive to

conduct all events in this T&R Manual during both day and night/limited

visibility conditions. When there is limited training time available, night

training should take precedence over daylight training, contingent on the

availability of equipment and personnel.

1011. RISK MANAGEMENT (RM)

1. Risk management is a process that enables commanders to plan for and

minimize risk while still accomplishing the mission. It is a tool to aid

decision making used by Marines at all levels to increase effectiveness by

anticipating hazards and reducing the potential for loss, thereby increasing

the probability of success. Risk management minimizes risks to acceptable

levels, commensurate with mission accomplishment.

2. All leaders and Marines will integrate RM in the planning process and

implement hazard controls to reduce risk to acceptable levels. Applying the

RM process will reduce mishaps, injuries, and damage they cause, thereby

increasing both individual performance and unit readiness. Risk management

assists the commander in avoiding unnecessary risk, determining the balance

between training realism and unnecessary risks in training, making an

informed decision to implement a course of action, identifying feasible and

effective control measures, adjusting training plans to fit the level of

proficiency and experience of Marines/Sailors, and providing reasonable

alternatives for mission accomplishment.

3. Specifically, commanders are required to implement and document

deliberate RM in the planning and execution of all training evolutions and

activities. Furthermore, the authority to approve or accept risk assessment

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

1-14 Enclosure (1)

code (RAC) 1 or 2 hazards will not be delegated below lieutenant colonel

(O5). Further guidance for RM is found in Marine Corps Order 3500.27_.

1012. IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE TRAINING

1. Improvised explosive device (IED) threat impacts all elements of the

MAGTF and all Marines regardless of MOS, location, or operational

environment. The ability to effectively operate and survive in environments

with an IED threat is critical to force protection, maintaining combat

effectiveness, and mission accomplishment.

2. Per Marine Corps policy on organizing, training, and equipping for

operations in an IED environment (MCO 3502.9), Marines must be capable of not

only accomplishing their assigned mission, but also accomplishing their

mission in environments with an IED threat. Counter-improvised explosive

device (C-IED) training must be integrated into the unit training plan in

order-to ensure personnel assigned to the OPFOR train and maintain

proficiency in C-IED tactics, techniques, and procedures.

3003. 5000-LEVEL EVENTS DESCRIPTION

1. Concert Band. The concert band performs all types of traditional band

music and transcriptions. This group uses all the musicians assigned to the

unit and may include members of the band's command element. Music

amplification and "recording" equipment is normally used during concert band

rehearsals and performances to enhance sound, compensate for poor acoustics,

to record performances, as well as provide for announcements, introductions

and narrations.

2. Ceremonial Band. The ceremonial band performs official ceremonial music,

marches, patriotic music, and is the primary ceremonial unit. This unit

normally has 44 members. Typically, musicians who perform Oboe, Bassoon,

Electric Bass, Piano and Electric Guitar are not assigned to this ensemble.

If manning shortfalls are critical, these musicians can perform a secondary

instrument in the band (MCO P1200.7).

3004. 4000-LEVEL EVENT DESCRIPTION

1. Jazz Ensemble. The jazz ensemble performs jazz, which includes swing,

Latin, and all contemporary styles. This unit has 15 to 20 members.

Standard instrumentation calls for saxophone, trumpet, trombone, percussion,

electric bass, piano, guitar, and vocals. Music amplification must be

considered as an integral part of the instrumentation of this ensemble to

enhance the sound, compensate for poor acoustics, provide for announcements,

and amplify solos.

2. Popular Music Group. The popular music group performs rock, pop, and

other contemporary music styles. This unit has two to 15 members. Standard

instrumentation calls for Keyboard, Guitar, Electric Bass, Percussion, and

Vocals. A horn section including Saxophone, Trumpet, and Trombone may be

added as appropriate for the music being performed. Music amplification must

be considered as an integral part of the instrumentation of this ensemble to

enhance the sound, compensate for poor acoustics, provide for announcements,

and to amplify solos.

3. Small Ensembles. Small ensembles (brass band, quintets, quartets, trios,

piano soloists, etc.) provide music for official military and civilian

missions. These ensembles provide an alternative to the larger musical units

within the band in those cases where limited space, funds or transportation

are a factor or when particular musical considerations would render a smaller

ensemble more appropriate or effective and provide for training

opportunities.

4. Jazz Combo. This ensemble is normally comprised of two to eight

musicians, and requires the use of amplification to achieve the

characteristic sound expected by audiences. Soloists, when available,

require amplification to be heard and blend with the ensemble.

3005. 3000-LEVEL EVENTS DESCRIPTION

1. Administrative Support. The Band's Administration Section is responsible

for creating and maintaining all records and correspondence pertaining to

organizational and operational requirements. All administrative requirements

are fulfilled according to current directives. Personnel assigned to the

Band Administration Section must be knowledgeable in all administrative

requirements pertaining to the organization and operation of the Band.

2. Music Library Support. A well-balanced music library is vital to

accomplishing the Band's primary mission. The careful selection and diligent

safeguard of music publications is particularly important to Marine Corps

Bands because of the increasing cost of music. Further, many early band

arrangements stored in Marine Corps Band libraries are no longer in print.

All library materials are maintained with the same care and attention as

official records and publications.

3. Unit Information Officer. The Band's Unit Information Officer is

responsible for supporting the specific goals, as directed by the Commanding

General, to meet the unique requirements of the command as it relates to the

surrounding community and the command's geographic area of responsibility.

Additionally, the Unit Information Officer is tasked to create and increase

public awareness and understanding of the Marine Corps and its missions; as

well as cultivating an appreciation of our heritage, traditions, standards

and historic contributions to the preservation of freedom. It communicates

closely with Communication Strategy and Operations office (formerly Public

Affairs).

4. Sound Reinforcement and Audio/Visual Recording Support

a. This section is responsible for providing sound reinforcement and

audio/visual recording of performances for the Band as directed. When used

within the Concert Band, sound reinforcement is used to enhance sound,

compensate for poor acoustics as well as provide for announcements,

introductions and narrations. When used within smaller ensembles, sound

reinforcement must be considered as an integral part of the instrumentation;

greatly enhancing sound projection, compensating for poor acoustics,

providing for announcements, and amplifying instruments that are typical of

popular music. Vocalists, when available, require amplification to be heard

and blend within most ensembles.

b. When a Marine Corps Band is unable to provide live musical support,

recorded music is an alternative. Requests are typically limited to music

required for military ceremonies, functions, or rehearsals for such events.

c. All audio/visual recordings must comply with applicable copyright

regulations.

5. Supply Support. The Band's Supply Section provides logistical support to

accomplish the unit's mission and training as directed by DoD regulations and

local commander's guidance. This is accomplished through research,

procurement, receipt of, and control of all instruments, supplies, and

equipment.

6. Loading and Transportation Support. The Band's Loading and

Transportation Section is responsible for securing appropriate vehicle

support for Band operations. As the direct liaison with the local Motor

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

3-5 Enclosure (1)

Transportation Office, they are responsible for adherence to all applicable

policies, guidance, and regulations while ensuring mission requirements are

met. The Loading and Transportation Section is responsible for the creation

and implementation of transportation manifests and travel plans to meet

mission requirements while ensuring safety and accountability of all

equipment and gear during official movements.

7. Training Support. Marksmanship, physical fitness, Marine Corps Common

Skills Training and professional development in leadership are required for

all Marine Corps musicians to maintain both technical and tactical

proficiency. The Band's Training Section is responsible for the execution

and reporting of all training requirements. Bands must receive adequate time

for military training and professional development. Commanding Generals or

their designated representatives must ensure that the Band plans Unit

Sustainment Training (UST) as an operational commitment. Because Marine

Corps Bands are minimally staffed to execute their musical functions,

Commanding Generals or their designated representatives must allow the Band

to maintain unit integrity when participating in training requirements.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Terms in this glossary are subject to change as applicable orders and

directives are revised. Terms established by Marine Corps orders or

directives take precedence after definitions found in Joint Publication 1-02,

DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

After Action Review. A professional discussion of training events conducted

after all training to promote learning among training participants. The

formality and scope increase with the command level and size of the training

evolution. For longer exercises, they should be planned for at predetermined

times during an exercise. The results of the AAR shall be recorded on an

after action report and forwarded to higher headquarters. The commander and

higher headquarters use the results of an AAR to reallocate resources,

reprioritize their training plan, and plan for future training.

Assessment. An informal judgment of the unit's proficiency and resources

made by a commander or trainer to gain insight into the unit's overall

condition. It serves as the basis for the midrange plan. Commanders make

frequent use of these determinations during the course of the combat

readiness cycle in order to adjust, prioritize or modify training events and

plans.

Chaining. A process that enables unit leaders to effectively identify

subordinate collective events and individual events that support a specific

collective event. For example, collective training events at the 4000-Level

are directly supported by collective events at the 3000-Level. When a higher

level event by its nature requires the completion of lower level events, they

are "chained"; Sustainment credit is given for all lower level events chained

to a higher event.

Collective Event. A clearly defined, discrete, and measurable activity,

action, or event (i.e., task) that requires organized team or unit

performance and leads to accomplishment of a mission or function. A

collective task is derived from unit missions or higher-level collective

tasks. Task accomplishment requires performance of procedures composed of

supporting collective or individual tasks. A collective task describes the

exact performance a group must perform in the field under actual operational

conditions. The term "collective" does not necessarily infer that a unit

accomplishes the event. A unit, such as a squad or platoon conducting an

attack; may accomplish a collective event or, it may be accomplished by an

individual to accomplish a unit mission, such as a battalion supply officer

completing a reconciliation of the battalion's CMR. Thus, many collective

events will have titles that are the same as individual events; however, the

standard and condition will be different because the scope of the collective

event is broader.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

B-2 Enclosure (1)

Collective Training Standards (CTS). Criteria that specify mission and

functional area unit proficiency standards for combat, combat support, and

combat service support units. They include tasks, conditions, standards,

evaluator instruction, and key indicators. CTS are found within collective

training events in T&R Manuals.

Combat Readiness Cycle. The combat readiness cycle depicts the relationships

within the building block approach to training. The combat readiness cycle

progresses from T&R Manual individual core skills training, to the

accomplishment of collective training events, and finally, to a unit's

participation in a contingency or actual combat. The combat readiness cycle

demonstrates the relationship of core capabilities to unit combat

readiness. Individual core skills training and the training of collective

events lead to unit proficiency and the ability to accomplish the unit's

stated mission.

Combat Readiness Percentage (CRP). The CRP is a quantitative numerical value

used in calculating collective training readiness based on the E-Coded events

that support the unit METL. CRP is a concise measure of unit training

accomplishments. This numerical value is only a snapshot of training

readiness at a specific time. As training is conducted, unit CRP will

continuously change.

Condition. The condition describes the training situation or environment

under which the training event or task will take place. Expands on the

information in the title by identifying when, where and why the event or task

will occur and what materials, personnel, equipment, environmental

provisions, and safety constraints must be present to perform the event or

task in a real-world environment. Commanders can modify the conditions of

the event to best prepare their Marines to accomplish the assigned mission

(e.g. in a desert environment; in a mountain environment; etc.).

Core Competency. Core competency is the comprehensive measure of a unit's

ability to accomplish its assigned MET. It serves as the foundation of the

T&R Program. Core competencies are those unit core capabilities and

individual core skills that support the commander's METL and T/O mission

statement. Individual competency is exhibited through demonstration of

proficiency in specified core tasks and core plus tasks. Unit proficiency is

measured through collective tasks.

Core Capabilities. Core capabilities are the essential functions a unit must

be capable of performing during extended contingency/combat operations. Core

unit capabilities are based upon mission essential tasks derived from

operational plans; doctrine and established tactics; techniques and

procedures.

Core Plus Capabilities. Core plus capabilities are advanced capabilities

that are environment, mission, or theater specific. Core plus capabilities

may entail high-risk, high-cost training for missions that are less likely to

be assigned in combat.

Core Plus Skills. Core plus skills are those advanced skills that are

environment, mission, rank, or billet specific. 2000-Level training is

designed to make Marines proficient in core skills in a specific billet or at

a specified rank at the Combat Ready level. 3000-8000-Level training

produces combat leaders and fully qualified section members at the Combat

Qualified level. Marines trained at the Combat Qualified level are those the

NAVMC 3500.28C

commanding officer feels are capable of accomplishing unit-level missions and

of directing the actions of subordinates. Many core plus tasks are learned

via MOJT, while others form the base for curriculum in career level MOS

courses taught by the formal school.

Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS). A comprehensive readiness

reporting system that evaluates readiness on the basis of the actual missions

and capabilities assigned to the forces. It is a capabilities-based,

adaptive, near real-time reporting system for the entire Department of

Defense.

Deferred Event. A T&R event that a commanding officer may postpone when in

his or her judgment, a lack of logistic support, ammo, ranges, or other

training assets requires a temporary exemption. CRP cannot be accrued for

deferred "E-Coded" events.

Delinquent Event. An event becomes delinquent when a unit exceeds the

sustainment interval for that particular event. The individual or unit must

update the delinquent event by first performing all prerequisite

events. When the unit commander deems that performing all prerequisite is

unattainable, then the delinquent event will be re-demonstrated under the

supervision of the appropriate evaluation authority.

E-Coded Event. An "E-Coded" event is a collective T&R event that is a noted

indicator of capability or, a noted collective skill that contributes to the

unit's ability to perform the supported MET. As such, only "E-Coded" events

are assigned a CRP value and used to calculate a unit's CRP.

Evaluation. Evaluation is a continuous process that occurs at all echelons,

during every phase of training and can be both formal and

informal. Evaluations ensure that Marines and units are capable of

conducting their combat mission. Evaluation results are used to reallocate

resources, reprioritize the training plan, and plan for future training.

Event (Training). 1) An event is a significant training occurrence that is

identified, expanded and used as a building block and potential milestone for

a unit's training. An event may include formal evaluations. 2) An event

within the T&R Program can be an individual training evolution, a collective

training evolution or both. Through T&R events, the unit commander ensures

that individual Marines and the unit progress from a combat capable status to

a Fully Combat Qualified (FCQ) status.

Event Component. The major procedures (i.e., actions) that must occur to

perform a Collective Event to standard.

Exercise Commander (EC). The Commanding General, Marine Expeditionary Force

or his appointee will fill this role, unless authority is delegated to the

respective commander of the Division, Wing, or FSSG. Responsibilities and

functions of the EC include: 1) designate unit(s) to be evaluated, 2) may

designate an exercise director, 3) prescribe exercise objectives and T&R

events to be evaluated, 4) coordinate with commands or agencies external to

the Marine Corps and adjacent Marine Corps commands, when required.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

B-4 Enclosure (1)

Exercise Director (ED). Designated by the EC to prepare, conduct, and report

all evaluation results. Responsibilities and functions of the ED

include: 1) Publish a letter of instruction (LOI) that: delineates the T&R

events to be evaluated, establishes timeframe of the exercise, lists

responsibilities of various elements participating in the exercise,

establishes safety requirements/guidelines, and lists coordinating

instructions. 2) Designate the TEC and TECG to operate as the central

control agency for the exercise. 3) Assign evaluators, to include the senior

evaluator, and ensure that those evaluators are properly trained. 4) Develop

the general exercise scenario taking into account any objectives/events

prescribed by the EC. 5) Arrange for all resources to include: training

areas, airspace, aggressor forces, and other required support.

Marine Corps Ground Training and Readiness (T&R) Program. The T&R Program is

the Marine Corps' primary tool for planning and conducting training, for

planning and conducting training evaluation, and for assessing training

readiness. The program will provide the commander with standardized programs

of instruction for units within the ground combat, combat support, and combat

service support communities. It consolidates the ITS, CTS, METL and other

individual and unit training management tools. T&R is a program of standards

that systematizes commonly accepted skills, is open to innovative change, and

above all, tailors the training effort to the unit's mission. Further, T&R

serves as a training guide and provides commanders an immediate assessment of

unit combat readiness by assigning a CRP to key training events. In short,

the T&R Program is a building block approach to training that maximizes

flexibility and produces the best-trained Marines possible.

Mission Essential Task(s) MET(s). A MET is a collective task in which an

organization must be proficient in order to accomplish an appropriate portion

of its wartime mission(s). MET listings are the foundation for the T&R

Manual; all events in the T&R Manual support a MET.

Mission Essential Task List (METL). Descriptive training document that

provides units a clear, war fighting focused description of collective

actions necessary to achieve wartime mission proficiency. The service-level

METL, that which is used as the foundation of the T&R Manual, is developed

using Marine Corps doctrine, operational plans, T/Os, UJTL, UNTL, and MCTL.

For community based T&R Manuals, an occupational field METL is developed to

focus the community's collective training standards. Commanders develop

their unit METL from the service-level METL, operational plans, contingency

plans, and SOPs.

Operational Readiness (DOD, NATO). OR is the capability of a unit/formation,

ship, weapon system, or equipment to perform the missions or functions for

which it is organized or designed. May be used in a general sense or to

express a level or degree of readiness.

Prerequisite Event. Prerequisites are the academic training and/or T&R

events that must be completed prior to attempting the event.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

B-5 Enclosure (1)

Readiness (DOD). Readiness is the ability of U.S. military forces to fight

and meet the demands of the national military strategy. Readiness is the

synthesis of two distinct but interrelated levels: a) Unit readiness--The

ability to provide capabilities required by combatant commanders to execute

assigned missions. This is derived from the ability of each unit to deliver

the outputs for which it was designed. b) Joint readiness--The combatant

commander's ability to integrate and synchronize ready combat and support

forces to execute assigned missions.

Section Skill Tasks. Section skills are those competencies directly related

to unit functioning. They are group rather than individual in nature, and

require participation by a section (S-1, S-2, S-3, etc).

Simulation Training. Simulators provide the additional capability to develop

and hone core and core plus skills. Accordingly, the development of

simulator training events for appropriate T&R syllabi can help maintain

valuable combat resources while reducing training time and cost. Therefore,

in cases where simulator fidelity and capabilities are such that simulator

training closely matches that of actual training events, T&R Manual

developers may include the option of using simulators to accomplish the

training. CRP credit will be earned for E-Coded simulator events based on

assessment of relative training event performance.

Standard. A standard is a statement that establishes criteria for how well a

task or learning objective must be performed. The standard specifies how

well, completely, or accurately a process must be performed or product

produced. For higher-level collective events, it describes why the event is

being done and the desired end-state of the event. Standards become more

specific for lower-level events and outline the accuracy, time limits,

sequencing, quality, product, process, restrictions, etc., that indicate the

minimum acceptable level of performance required of the event. At a minimum,

both collective and individual training standards consist of a task, the

condition under which the task is to be performed, and the evaluation

criteria that will be used to verify that the task has been performed to a

satisfactory level.

Sustainment Training. Periodic retraining or demonstration of an event

required maintaining the minimum acceptable level of proficiency or

capability required to accomplish a training objective. Sustainment training

goes beyond the entry-level and is designed to maintain or further develop

proficiency in a given set of skills.

Systems Approach to Training (SAT). An orderly process for analyzing,

designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating a unit's training program

to ensure the unit, and the Marines of that unit acquire the knowledge and

skills essential for the successful conduct of the unit's wartime missions.

Training Task. This describes a direct training activity that pertains to an

individual Marine. A task is composed of 3 major components: a description

of what is to be done, a condition, and a standard.

NAVMC 3500.28C

13 Aug 2018

B-6 Enclosure (1)

Technical Exercise Controller (TEC). The TEC is appointed by the ED, and

usually comes from his staff or a subordinate command. The TEC is the senior

evaluator within the TECG and should be of equal or higher grade than the

commander(s) of the unit(s) being evaluated. The TEC is responsible for

ensuring that the evaluation is conducted following the instructions

contained in this order and MCO 1553.3A. Specific T&R Manuals are used as

the source for evaluation criteria.

Tactical Exercise Control Group (TECG). A TECG is formed to provide subject

matter experts in the functional areas being evaluated. The benefit of

establishing a permanent TECG is to have resident, dedicated evaluation

authority experience, and knowledgeable in evaluation technique. The

responsibilities and functions of the TECG include: 1) developing a detailed

exercise scenario to include the objectives and events prescribed by the

EC/ED in the exercise LOI; 2) conducting detailed evaluator training prior to

the exercise; 3) coordinating and controlling role players and aggressors; 4)

compiling the evaluation data submitted by the evaluators and submitting

required results to the ED; 5) preparing and conducting a detailed exercise

debrief for the evaluated unit(s).

Training Plan. Training document that outlines the general plan for the

conduct of individual and collective training in an organization for

specified periods of time.

Unit CRP. Unit CRP is a percentage of the E-Coded collective events that

support the unit METL accomplished by the unit. Unit CRP is the average of

all MET CRP.

Unit Evaluation. All units in the Marine Corps must be evaluated, either

formally or informally, to ensure they are capable of conducting their combat

mission. Informal evaluations should take place during all training

events. The timing of formal evaluations is critical and should, when

appropriate, be directly related to the units' operational deployment

cycle. Formal evaluations should take place after the unit has been staffed

with the majority of its personnel, has had sufficient time to train to

individual and collective standards, and early enough in the training cycle

so there is sufficient time to correctly identified weaknesses prior to

deployment. All combat units and units' task organized for combat require

formal evaluations prior to operational deployments.

Unit Training Management (UTM). Unit training management is the use of the

SAT and Marine Corps training principles in a manner that maximizes training

results and focuses the training priorities of the unit on its wartime

mission. UTM governs the major peacetime training activity of the Marine

Corps and applies to all echelons of the Total Force.

Waived Event. An event that is waived by a commanding officer when in his or

her judgment, previous experience or related performance satisfies the

requirement of a particular event.
