  Execution
  The more Soldiers sweat in training, the less they bleed in combat.
  Proverb
  OVERVIEW
  4-1. Execution is the implementation of the long-range training guidance. It is the deliberate and purposeful
  accomplishment of each training event’s training objectives. Executing increasingly challenging training
  events to the prescribed standard builds the training proficiency required to achieve designated mission-
  essential task proficiency levels. It also develops increasingly capable, confident and lethal Soldiers, leaders,
  and units. (See the Army Training Network (ATN) at https://atn.army.mil for more information on training
  execution.)
  LEADER ROLES IN EXECUTION
  4-2. Leaders must know and understand their roles in executing training. Commanders and leaders must—
  * Be present and actively engaged in training.
  * Demonstrate tactical and technical proficiency.
  * Ensure training is conducted to standard as prescribed in Army training and evaluation outlines
  (known as T&EOs) and applicable weapon system publications.
  * Ensure training is led by trained and certified officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs).
  * Protect training by eliminating distractors.
  * Effectively manage risk by continuously reviewing risk assessment and managing mitigation and
  control measures.
  4-3. Senior NCOs ensure—
  * Subordinate leaders are trained and prepared.
  * Training is conducted to standard, not time.
  * Task execution is repeated until the standard is reached.
  PRESENTING AND PERFORMING TRAINING
  4-4. How training is presented is key to its effectiveness. Training is presented by the chain of command
  whenever possible. Unit leaders are present and responsible for training even if a technical trainer provides
  the information.
  4-5. Training is performance oriented and is evaluated against established standards found in applicable
  proponent publications. Those publications can include training and evaluation outlines and training
  circulars.
  4-6. Leaders progressively adjust task conditions to increase task difficulty. This builds task familiarity and
  Soldier and leader confidence. Leaders add realism and complexity to task conditions as rapidly as possible
  to achieve near-operational conditions.
  4-7. Risk management changes the effectiveness of mitigation measures and controls.
