  Platoon Sergeant
  E-10. Platoon sergeants assist their platoon leaders in planning and managing platoon training. In conjunction
  with their platoon leaders, they provide feedback on training conducted and provide recommendations on
  future training events.
  Key Staff Noncommissioned Officers
  E-11. Higher echelon staff NCOs attend training meetings as necessary. They advise the company
  commander on the status of specialized training. For example, the battalion master gunner works with the
  company master gunner and first sergeant to track individual and crew-served weapons qualifications and
  helps leaders with gunnery qualification requirements. Other key battalion or brigade NCOs identify and
  advise company leaders on opportunities to integrate specialized training into upcoming events.
  Supporting Maintenance Personnel
  E-12. Supporting maintenance personnel work with the commander and executive officer ensuring timely
  support is provided. Maintenance personnel provide input on the status of maintenance training, recommend
  maintenance training, and inform the commander of scheduled services and inspections that may impact
  training. Additionally, supporting maintenance personnel may advise the commander on maintenance
  training requirements.
  Supply Sergeant
  E-13. Supply sergeants provide input on supply-related issues, inspections, and inventories. Supply sergeants
  also work with the executive officer and first sergeant to coordinate necessary support from outside sources.
  They assist the executive officer and first sergeant in identifying, coordinating, and resourcing logistic
  support.
  Attached and Other Support Leaders
  E-14. Other leaders attend training meetings to coordinate their training efforts with those of the company.
  For example, the leader of an attached radar section may attend the meeting. Habitual attachments, such as
  medics or fire support personnel should also attend. These leaders provide their evaluation of tasks and battle
  drills previously trained.
  SCHEDULING TRAINING MEETINGS
  E-15. Commanders prioritize training meetings and conduct them on the same day and time each week. This
  regularity provides predictability to training. Company leaders conduct training meetings in any
  environment—at home station or deployed. They are also conducted regardless of the time management cycle
  the unit is in (green, amber, or red).
  E-16. Leaders consider several factors before selecting a time to conduct training meetings. Main
  considerations include—
  * Enabling leaders to attend.
  * Minimizing training disruptions.
  * Allowing subordinate leaders time to prepare.
  * Adhering to local policy.
  E-17. RC commanders should conduct training meetings during regularly scheduled drill periods unless the
  commander designates otherwise.
  PLATOON TRAINING MEETINGS
  E-18. Platoon leaders conduct platoon training meetings to coordinate the training efforts of the platoon.
  Platoon meetings have three objectives:
