Corrective training and corrective action
>
>
a. General. Corrective training and corrective action are tools available to leaders to rectify minor deficiencies,
simple infractions, and less serious breaches of discipline, to focus the attention of Soldiers, and to inspire compliance
with Army standards. At no time is corrective action meant to demean, belittle, or embarrass a Soldier. The effective
leader knows when to use permissible corrective training and NOT excessive or unauthorized physical activity to
coach, teach, train, and mentor Soldiers who are not meeting the standard. See table 2-2. The following definitions
apply:
>
>
(1) Corrective Training. Corrective training is for Soldiers who have demonstrated that they need, and would
benefit from, additional instruction or practice in a particular skill. Corrective training should be directly related to the
military skill that the Soldier is deficient in and assist him/her in meeting the standard.
>
>
(2) Corrective Action. Nonpunitive actions used as a motivational tool by authorized cadre members (see 2-5
c) to immediately address deficiencies in performance or conduct and to reinforce required standards. By virtue of
administering corrective action, there is recognition that the misconduct did not result from intentional or gross failure
to comply with standards of military conduct. Corrective action is inappropriate for situations requiring additional
training to master a specific level of skill proficiency, or in matters where punishment is administered as a result of
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action.
>
>
(3) Physical exercise for corrective action. Requiring Soldiers to perform a reasonable number of repetitions of
authorized physical exercises IAW FM 7-22 page 5-5 as a motivational tool is permitted for corrective action.
However, consideration must be given to the exercises, repetitions, and total number of times each day that exercise is
used for corrective action to limit the potential for overtraining and injuries.
>
>
(4) Other Corrective Action. Nonphysical tasks may be used as corrective action instead of physical exercise.
