text: Introduction
  FM 7-0, Training, expands on the fundamental concepts of the Army’s training doctrine introduced in
  ADP 7-0. This publication applies to all Army leaders and the three components of the Total Army: the
  Regular Army, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve.
  This publication focuses on training leaders and Soldiers as effectively and efficiently as possible given
  limitations in time and resources. FM 7-0 guides leaders to develop realistic and challenging training, which
  includes changing conditions and various environments when required.
  FM 7-0 contains five chapters:
  Chapter 1 discusses the importance of training and the criteria for measuring unit training proficiency. It
  presents the Army’s principles of training from ADP 7-0, explaining why they are foundational to everything
  leaders do in training. It discusses the unique responsibilities of senior leaders in training. The chapter closes
  with an introduction to the Army’s training management cycle, which is also the framework of FM 7-0.
  Chapter 2 introduces the concept of prioritizing mission-essential tasks, weapons qualification, and
  collective live-fire tasks. It includes a discussion of battle tasks and how they link prioritized mission-
  essential tasks to the prioritized collective tasks trained below the company level. It also discusses how battle
  tasks link to the prioritized individual tasks Soldiers train.
  Chapter 3 provides an overview of the training planning process. It discusses ways commanders establish a
  battle rhythm for training. Then it details the planning and preparation for long-range, mid-range and short-
  range planning.
  Chapter 4 gives an overview of how units execute training. It first discusses the role of leaders in execution.
  It continues with ways the chain of command present and perform training. This chapter continues with
  discussions on live-fire training, simulations, and training techniques. The chapter concludes with discussions
  on after action reviews and recording results of training.
  Chapter 5 discusses training evaluations and assessments. It delineates between evaluations based on
  approved standards, and the assessments commanders render.
  FM 7-0 contains eleven appendixes. Each appendix significantly expands on the procedures introduced in
  the chapters.
