text: Lane Training
  The following day, CPT Rogers reviews all completed evaluator training and evaluation
  outlines. He also conducts an office call with the evaluators and AAR facilitators to
  discuss their observations and personal comments. He also considers his own
  observations and experiences as part of overall feedback. He then discusses the
  results of the lane training with the battery first sergeant and battalion commander,
  LTC Jordan Short. Following the dialogue between the two commanders, LTC Short
  presents 2d platoon the Best Howitzer Platoon trophy.
  G-9. This vignette demonstrates the flexibility and innovative ways leaders can use lane training to tailor
  training to deliver challenging and effective training. Using lane training, small-unit leaders can train
  effectively at low cost in less time and with fewer resources to achieve task proficiency.
  LANE SUPPORT
  G-10. Depending on the scale and scope of the lanes, support can be minimal, or it can be extensive especially
  at the platoon level. The greater the needs of the training area and the need to replicate an operational
  environment, the more complex is the support required to run lanes. For platoon-level lanes, the company
  can provide a small command and control node to—
  * Replicate higher headquarters for scenario and tactical support.
  * Provide support facilities as necessary, like medical aid stations, Class I and Class III supply
  points, and other administrative support.
  LANE REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
  G-11. Developing lane training can take substantial time and resources to coordinate. Since they are recurring
  training events, unit staffs record planning and preparing these events for future use. Units use three types of
  lane training documentation:
  * Lane training support package.
  * Lane handbook.
  * Evaluator handbook.
  LANE TRAINING SUPPORT PACKAGE
  G-12. A lane training support package provides a standard, unit-developed product that reduces the training
  development workload by preparing a product one time and using it repeatedly. They are locally developed
  and compiled by the organizing unit. For a lane exercise that includes multiple lanes, each lane evaluator
  develops a lane handbook for each lane.
  LANE HANDBOOK
  G-13. Lane handbooks provide general information and guidance applicable to all lanes. Lane evaluators
  develop handbooks tailored to lane support, execution, and training objectives. Unit leaders determine the
  contents of the lane handbook. Lane evaluators provide this material to the training unit prior to the scheduled
  lane. The handbook may include the specific lane training activities listed in table G-1 on page G-2 plus the
  following:
  * A memorandum of agreement between units involved in conducting and training in the lane area.
  * A lane planning timeline.
  * Guidance on related subordinate leader and collective training that the unit leader may wish to
  consider for training before conduct of the lane.
  * Tips that will aid the unit leader in preparing and executing the lane.
