GOOD IDEAS FOR SERGEANTS TIME TRAINING?
What is Purpose of Sergeants Time Training
The success of Sergeants Time Training (STT) requires the coordinated efforts of both officers and noncommissioned officer (NCOs). Noncommissioned officers plan, rehearse, execute, train, and assess time designated for STT. Officers provider resources when required and prevent training distractors. Once the officers and NCOs meet these objectives. STT is then devoted to the professional development of Soldiers. Noncommissioned officers are the primary trainers of STT. Sergeants Time Training should be briefed at training briefings and should be part of the Command Inspection Program.Sergeants Time Training is the period dedicated each week to NCOs to train their Soldiers on individual tasks at small unit level. This time affords the opportunity for plan, prepare, execute, access leadership training for junior leaders.Want to see the source document for this section? Then Click Here!

15 New Army Classes added April
 |
| Army pre-made Classes site PowerpointRanger partner's with Eventbrite to schedule release date with it's members. |
This month we tried a different approach to notifying our over 4,000 members of new classes being added to our Army Classes Exchange site, and that was by incorporating the cool scheduling utility Eventbrite. According to their Wikipedia page, Eventbrite is a website that allows event organizers to plan, set up ticket sales and promote events of any size and publicize them across Facebook, Twitter and other social-networking tools directly from the site's interface. It also enables attendees to get tickets to these events. If you are interested in more about Eventbrite you can check out their blog BriteBlog here.
This month we set-up a Members-only pre-release area where for an hour before the general public we made the classes available to members only at a specified page. In hindsight it seemed kind of redundant since only members can access classes anyway and a non-member will never really be able to download a class without either becoming a paid member or by donating a class for free access, but it was fun to try something new.
So, if you are like most of our blog readers what you really want to know is where are the new classes for April 2013? Well, here you go, the list in all it's glory. We offer up 15 new classes and one new lesson plan. They are:
- April 2013
- Alchohol Abuse, 818kbs
- Army History, 5,460kbs
- Army PERSTAT, 784kbs
- Develop Subordinates (AG), 207kbs
- Disassemble the M16A2 Rifle, 1,925kbs
- Doctrine 2015, 2.024kbs

What are Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills (WTBD)?
My old training NCO used to tell me, "if it aint raining, we aint training." I think he loved the dirt and mud. Back in the day we used to call it Common Task Traininng (CTT) which was nothing more than an annual selection of critical tasks out of the Soldiers Manual for Common Task, SCMT 21-1-SMCT.
Well, from that book it defines WTBD "The Army identified warrior tasks and battle drills (WTBD) that enhance a Soldier’s readiness to fight on the battlefield. Warrior tasks are a collection of individual Soldier skills known to be critical to Soldier survival. Examples include weapons training, tactical communications, urban operations, and first aid. Battle drills are group skills designed to teach a unit to react and survive in common combat situations. Examples included react to ambush, react to chemical attack, and evacuate injured personnel from a vehicle. WTBD increases the relevance of training to current combat requirements and enhance the rigor in training. The driving force behind the change comes from lessons learned. Standards remain constant but commanders must be aware that the enemy adapts at once and Soldier training will change sooner because of current operational environments."
Annually tasks are selected as the 20XX WTBD listing.
