support the mission/exercise. Emphasis must be placed on the readiness value
to the unit.
2. Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs) should include the
participation of a CA planner during exercise planning conferences.
3. Provide an exercise packet to the Army Reserve unit tasked to participate in
an exercise well in advance, to facilitate its preparedness for, and value to, the
exercise.
Implications.
If the JTIMS and ARTIMS lines aren’t properly submitted, the Army Reserve will
not source the exercise. If the CA planner doesn’t attend the planning
conferences, the training value for the CA Soldiers will be much lower.
If a packet isn’t sent to the Army Reserve unit, it won’t be well prepared for the
exercise and won’t provide the value expected by the lead exercise planners.
This could lead to the planners not including CA in future iterations of the
exercise.
Event Description.
This lesson is based on personal experience performing duties as an exercise
planner for United Accord 2017.
