  A-4. Informed by the Army’s Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (known as
  ReARMM), the process begins with the Army Synchronization and Resourcing Conference (known as
  ASRC). This conference synchronizes Army activities across four lines of effort (operational requirements,
  training and exercises, modernization, and other Army service requirements). After participating in the Army
  Synchronization and Resourcing Conference, Army commands and Army Service component commands
  issue their ATG no later than 16 months prior to the beginning of the FY. After integrating the Army
  command’s guidance into their ATG, corps publish it no later than 14 months prior to the start of the FY.
  Similarly, divisions publish their ATG to subordinate organizations after incorporating the corps’ guidance
  no later than 12 months prior to the beginning of the FY. Along the same lines, brigades issue ATG no later
  than 9 months prior to the start of the FY, battalions issue ATG no later than 6 months prior to the beginning
  of the FY, and companies issue ATG no later than 4 months prior to the start of the FY.
  COMMANDER’S GUIDANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-
  RANGE TRAINING PLANS
  A-5. Unit commanders issue guidance to their staff in the development of long-range training plans and then
  issue training guidance (in the form of ATG) to subordinate commanders. When issuing ATG, commanders
  must leave sufficient time for subordinate units to develop their own long-range training plans. Parallel and
  collaborative planning is an important factor in developing long-range training plans. Commanders at every
  level work together, sharing planning and resource information as each echelon concurrently develops their
  training plan.
  A-6. In developing unit long-range training plans, the commander’s guidance to the staff should include—
  * The unit’s prioritized mission-essential tasks, weapons qualifications, and collective live-fire tasks
  to train.
  * The required proficiencies (T or P) to achieve.
  * When (date) training proficiencies must be achieved.
  * An operational environment to replicate in training.
  * Time management system (Green, Amber, Red).
  * Unit training events.
  * External evaluation (known as EXEVAL) expectations and schedule.
  * Collective live-fire, gunnery, and frequency requirements.
  * Individual training guidance such as Army Warrior Training (to include warrior tasks and battle
  drills) and low-density military occupational specialty training.
  * Physical training focus.
  * Leader development planning.
  * Leader certification.
  * Long-range training calendar.
  * Additional guidance at the discretion of the commander.
