with minimal interference; however, during the validation, units must have all training areas, lanes, and individual testing stations constructed and accessible for the ESB Test Manager. b. During validation units should be prepared to make slight adjustments to their test execution plan based on input from the ESB Test Manager, although maintaining open lines of communication with the ESB Test Manager during all test preparation will help minimize final changes to the test execution. A TCN will only be issued after the ESB Test Manager or a designated representative has validated the entire test site. c. Land navigation test lanes will be off limits to all candidates once the ESB Test site has been validated. Candidates may continue to have access to the APFT route, 12-Mile Foot March route, individual testing stations, and practice land navigation lanes after the validation has been completed as these test requirements are already a known factor to the candidates. 3-5. Timeline a. Using the following timeline for a two week train-up as a guide, with T-Day representing Test Day 1, units should be prepared to execute ESB train-up and testing as follows: Table 3-1. Timeline (2 week train up) T-14 Train-up Day 1 T-13 Train-up Day 2 T-12 Train-up Day 3 T-11 Train-up Day 4 T-10 Train-up Day 5 T-9 Commander’s Day T-8 Commander’s Day T-7 Day 6 T-6 Train-up Day 7 T-5 Train-up Day 8 T-4 Train-up Day 9 T-3 Train-up Day 10 T-2 Commander’s Day / Time Off Period T-1 Commander’s Day / Time Off Period T-Day Test Day 1: APFT and Land Navigation T+1 Test Day 2: Individual Testing Stations
