Key observations from the Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) for FY 24 Warfighter Exercises (WFX). Trends and observations identified by trainers and leaders from MCTP from corps and division headquarters during command post exercises (CPX) in a large-scale combat operations environment. The observations are organized by warfighting and enabling functions, and cover Europe and Pacific based scenarios. These observations identify key areas that cause challenges corps and divisions, and provide input, guidance, and references to help overcome these challenges for future rotational units. The observations are based upon after action review (AAR) and exercise report content and represent multiple units. Commanders and staff should review these observations and incorporate elements into standard operating procedures, training plans, and preparation for future CPX and operations.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has reached a stalemate over the past two years. Tactical-level combat power losses in both the Russian Ground Forces (RGF) and Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have reduced the operational-level endurance necessary to bring the conflict to an end. In any future large-scale combat operation against a pacing or acute threat, U.S. Army units must be prepared to conduct operations in a contested logistical environment. To train as it will fight, the U.S. Army must emphasize conserving sufficient combat power during collective training of tactical combat tasks. This paper will present endurance-related observations from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and U.S. Army collective training events, discuss potential impacts on the U.S. Army, and offer recommendations to mitigate identified challenges.

This paper describes both best practices and recommendations for M-SHORAD batteries in support of the Brigade Combat Team (BCT and division), specifically regarding the role of the Air Defense Coordinator, employment of Stinger and Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and engagement authority within the division. The ADA branch must continually examine the role of SHORAD and mission command dynamics to set conditions for success in future SHORAD implementation. This paper references the yet-to-be-published DM 3-01 to provide appropriate context for NTC rotation 25-02. Charlie Battery, 6th Battalion, 56th Air Defense was the supporting M-SHORAD Battery during this rotation.
