LANES TRAINING is probably
the best method to train a Unit in
their collective tasks to support the
Unit’s Mission Essential Task List
(METL).
Unit Trainers should be knowledgeable
about the LTX process in order to actively
assist, and facilitate the enhancement of a
Unit’s training.

LANES
What does the acronym
LANES stand for?
IT’S NOT AN ACRONYM !
4
LANE refers to:
a standardized and structured
training exercise or simulation
used to train on one or more
collective tasks.
PAGE 9, TC 25-10
5
Training in today’s Army demands
that a battle-focused, structured,
creative and innovative training
process be employed. Within this
process, trainers must maximize
availability of training time by
concentrating on specific tasks
supporting the Unit’s METL.
6
the “value”...
Training should be a systematic,
battle-focused, performanceoriented process. This process is
used to plan, execute, and assess
unit training to achieve maximum
training results with limited time
and resources.
7
the “purpose”
The primary purpose for LANE
training is to develop, maintain,
regain, or enhance proficiency for
METL-driven, Soldier, Leader,
and Individual tasks, as well as,
Collective tasks, and Battle
Drills.
8
Assessment…..
….an essential element of any
training process.
It is the evaluation of specific
performance of specific tasks,
providing a measurable level of
proficiency exhibited by an
Individual, Squad, Platoon or
Company.

LANES works best for
Company
Platoon
Squad
LANE Training
Is designed for training
Company-size and smaller units
on collective tasks that support
the Unit’s METL.
10
The STX…...
is a short, scenario-driven,
mission-oriented, limited exercise
designed to train one collective
task, a group of related tasks, or
battle drills, through practice.
11
Varied Applicability
Historically, LANES Training is
associated with tasks requiring
movement over terrain (Conduct
Movement to Contact, Road
March ) however, movement is
not required.
12
Performance
Oriented
……..it is accomplished through
“hands on” performance of a
specific task, and under specific
conditions, until the established
standard is met.
13
Simulation…
Effective LANE training requires
replication of missions and
environments of military
operations. Training must be...
14
Clarification….
To ensure standardization, LTXs
are developed to teach the
doctrinally preferred way to
perform specific missions or
tasks.

Employ the Principles Of Training
•Commanders are responsible for training.
•NCOs train individuals, crews, and small teams
•Train as a combined arms and joint team.
•Train for combat proficiency (realistic conditions &
performance-oriented).
•Train to standard using appropriate doctrine.
•Train to adapt.
•Train to maintain and sustain.
•Train using multiechelon techniques.
•Train to sustain proficiency.
•Train and develop leaders.

24
Don’t forget the
Crawl-Walk-Run
Training strategy !
This process is an effective
method of training to standard for
Individual tasks, Battle Drills and
Collective task training.
25
Train Leaders First
Verify the training proficiency
of Leaders and Trainers to the
Army standard...before they
train their subordinates.
26
Certification
Written verification that soldiers
can perform a task to standard.
27
Develop and Refine
the Training Plan
A training plan is a description
of the actions, milestones, and
resources required to implement
a training strategy.
Refer to TC 25-10, 3-15 and 3-17

Select T&EOs
A T&EO provides the training
objective for a collective task,
which supports unit critical
military operations in terms of
a specific mission, or task for
the Unit.
Refer to TC 25-10, 3-19 and Appendix D

Develop Outline
Plans
The outline is the
framework used to build the
scenario for the LANE.
Refer to TC 25-10, 3-20 and Appendix D

requirements for the LANE
to be conducted. Prepare an

AS A TABLE GROUP:
Develop a training plan from CDRs
guidance and the BN YTG and brief the
plan to the class. The plan will run from
OCT thru SEP (YTP) culminating with the
LTX (STX-A) in JUN and the BN FTX-4 in
AUG.
You will brief your plan (JUN MUTU-5
LTX (STX A) to the class Thursday
afternoon at or prior to 1300hrs.
ALL STUDENTS WILL PARTICIPATE.
THE BRIEF WILL INCLUDE TRAINING PLAN
FROM OCT THRU AUG, AS WELL AS LTX PLAN.
YOU WILL BRIEF THE COMPANY COMMANDER
ABOUT YOUR YTP AND ILLUSTRATE THE
CORRELATION TO JUNE STX-A. THE FOCUS OF
YOUR BRIEF SHOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH ALL
TRAINING INFORMATION FROM OCT THRU JUN .
THE MUTA-5 BRIEF WILL INCLUDE ALL ASPECTS
OF THE LTX (STX-A) FROM “A” TO “B” AND BACK.
