Exercise and Training Coordination - S-1 Procedural Page

Role and responsibility

The S-3 training officer runs T&R event execution per MCO P3500.72A. The S-1 officer supports administrative aspects of T&R event tracking and personnel certification per MCTP 3-30GMCTP 3-30G. The S-1 chief tracks personnel qualification cycles and documents training records in the OMPF Field Folder per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6. The unit commander signs the T&R event certification.

Source documents flow from the unit METL, the T&R event roadmap per MCO P3500.72A, the individual and collective training schedule, the exercise tasking, the formal school training pipeline assignments, the prior MCTFS qualification record, and the DRRS T rating computation per MCO 3000.13BMCO 3000.13B. Outputs include the executed T&R event with certification, the tracked completion against METL, the individual qualification records, the exercise support record, the DRRS T rating input, the formal school coordination record, and the OMPF documentation per MCO P1070.12K.

Per MCO P3500.72A, the Marine Corps Ground T&R Program drives unit training and individual qualification. Per MCTP 3-30G, the S-1 supports MAGTF training through personnel administration. T&R events are coded with a specific format (e.g., 0102-PERA-1001, 0170-OPER-2003) per NAVMC 3500.3E. The T rating in DRRS reflects T&R event completion against METL.

Trigger events

• Unit METL change triggers T&R event reassessment.
• T&R event execution scheduled.
• Composite Unit Training Exercise (CompUTEx) preparation cycle.
• MEU certification cycle opens.
• Pre-deployment training cycle begins.
• Formal school training pipeline tasking.
• Annual T&R event sustainment cycle.
• DRRS T rating change.

Processing workflow

1. Coordinate T&R event execution. Per MCO P3500.72A, the S-3 schedules T&R events. The S-1 supports personnel administration for training participants.
2. Track T&R event completion. Per the unit T&R event roadmap and METL, track completion percentages.
3. Document individual training certification. The unit captures qualification per MOS T&R events and supports OMPF documentation per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K.
4. Support exercise planning. The S-1 supports personnel inputs for exercise planning including individual augment fills, dependency separation, and administrative readiness.
5. Coordinate CompUTEx preparation. For MEU-bound units, the S-1 supports CompUTEx preparation including personnel readiness validation.
6. Report T&R event completion to DRRS. Per MCO 3000.13BMCO 3000.13B, the T rating reflects T&R event completion against METL.
7. Track perishable qualification cycles. Per MCO P3500.72A, certain qualifications (flight currency, dive qualification, FLPB) require periodic recertification.
8. Run T&R event sustainment training. The unit sustains training currency per the T&R event sustainment interval.
9. Coordinate with the formal school training pipeline. PCS to formal school requires coordination between the S-1, the gaining school, and HQMC.
10. Document training records in OMPF. Per MCO P1070.12K Chapter 1, training records route to the OMPF.

Systems of record and forms

Systems

• Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS). Holds T&R event records.
• T&R event roadmap. Per MCO P3500.72A.
• Marine Online (MOL). Surfaces qualification records.
• DRRS. Per MCO 3000.13B for T rating reporting.
• OMPF Field Folder. Per MCO P1070.12K Chapter 1.

Forms

• T&R Event Certification. Per MCO P3500.72A.
• Individual Qualification Record. Per MCO P3500.72A.
• METL Update Memorandum. Per the unit mission.
• Exercise Tasking Order. Per S-3.
• NAVMC 118 (11) Administrative Remarks. Page 11 documenting training events per MCO P1070.12K paragraph 4006.

Common pitfalls

• T&R event completion not reported to DRRS. Per MCO 3000.13BMCO 3000.13B, the T rating reflects completion against METL.
• Perishable qualifications lapsed without renewal. Per MCO P3500.72A, the sustainment interval drives renewal.
• Individual qualification records not in OMPF. Per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6, training records route to OMPF.
• METL change not reflected in T&R event scheduling. Per MCO P3500.72A, METL changes drive T&R event reassessment.
• Formal school training pipeline coordination late. The S-1 coordinates with the gaining school.
• Exercise support inputs late from S-1. The S-1 supports personnel inputs at exercise planning.

Decision points

• T&R event sequence. Per MCO P3500.72A and the METL, the sequence aligns with the unit mission.
• Individual versus collective T&R event. Per MCO P3500.72A, individual MOS T&R events qualify the Marine. Collective T&R events qualify the unit.
• Sustainment interval. Per MCO P3500.72A and the event-specific rules, the sustainment interval drives renewal.
• CompUTEx scope. The MEU CompUTEx schedule drives the unit-level preparation.
