  CPT Jackson directs that platoons receiving a ‘NO-GO’ in the dry-fire phase by
  evaluators at the AAR site will move to a designated retraining site before attempting
  the task again. Platoons receiving a ‘GO’ by evaluators will repeat the task but under
  more challenging conditions as specified by the chief evaluator. He states that his
  guidance is to continue training the task until task mastery is achieved. At his
  discretion, platoons successfully performing the task under varied conditions will move
  to the live-fire assembly area for further guidance and briefings by range safety
  personnel prior to the issuance of live ammunition.
  CPT Jackson’s executive officer, 1LT Blake Gilford, states that platoon leaders are
  encouraged to review and plan their STXs based on FM 7-0, Appendix G, “Lane
  Training,” to better understand the general sequence of events and to recon training
  area 37 where the platoon STXs will be executed.
  1LT Gilford reminds each platoon leader to follow the 8-step training model as they
  plan and prepare their platoon STX. As a review, he briefly covers each step:
   Step 1: Plan the training event.
   Step 2: Train and certify leaders.
   Step 3: Recon training sites.
   Step 4: Issue the operation order (OPORD).
   Step 5: Rehearse.
   Step 6: Train.
   Step 7: Conduct after action reviews (AARs).
   Step 8: Retrain.
  CPT Jackson indicates that at the conclusion of each platoon STX, he will review all
  feedback, especially the T&EOs by the external evaluators, to assess the proficiency
  of each platoon in the battle task and record the results.
