Unit Training Management (UTM) is the process Army commanders,
leaders and staffs use to plan-prepare-execute-assess unit training
and identify the resources needed to accomplish that training.
This manual is the extension of the Army’s training doctrine as
described in ADP 7-0 (Training Units and Developing Leaders) and
ADRP 7-0 (Training Units and Developing Leaders). The concepts and
processes in this manual are applicable to the Active Army, Army
National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United
States Army Reserve unless otherwise indicated. It supersedes the
Unit Training Management (UTM) manual dated August 2012.

Introduction
 
The Leader’s Guide to Unit Training Management (UTM) expands on the training foundations and tenets found in Army
Doctrine Publication (ADP) 7-0 and Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 7-0. UTM provides expanded details,
concepts and examples of the content of both doctrinal manuals.

UTM contains 5 chapters and appendices A-H.  Each section contains sufficient redundancy with other sections of the guide to allow each section to stand alone, without having to refer to the rest of the manual.   In time, as Army leaders become comfortable again with Unit Training Management, this handbook will become less detailed and less redundant with itself.
 
Chapter 1 introduces UTM processes and the online resources that support unit training.
 
Chapter 2 discusses how units determine training focus using key collective tasks (KCT) based on the mission and guidance given by the higher commander. It also expands on the ADP/ADRP concept of the Commanders’ Dialogue, which provides the venue for the higher commander to approve the unit KCTs.
 
Chapter 3 discusses the development of a training Course of Action (COA), its approval at the Training Briefing (TB) and subsequent publication of the Unit Training Plan (UTP).
 
Chapter 4 covers the details of how to plan and execute the training events (plan-prepare-execute-assess) that comprise the UTP. It provides a detailed explanation of the T-Week concept and the unit actions required to coordinate and resource training events.
 
Chapter 5 discusses the processes of evaluating and assessing training to accurately measure training readiness. 
 
Appendix A, Delivering Quality Training is a discussion of the characteristics and techniques used in delivering quality, effective, performance-oriented training. 
 
Appendix B, Leader Development talks about leader development and how leaders are developed as the unit trains. It also discusses the senior leader’s responsibility in planning and executing leader development plans that capitalize on training events as the prime venue to develop subordinate leaders. 
 
Appendix C, Organizational Inspection Program (OIP) for Training is a checklist and guide that units can use to do a detailed review of their own internal training management processes.
 
Appendix D, After-Action Reviews are the concepts and details of planning and executing unit After-Action Reviews (AAR). This is also available as The Leader’s Guide to After-Action Reviews found on ATN.
