Are Soldiers Waiting, Training, or Stuck on Details?

Download the Soldier Downtime Plan for Company and Battalion Range Days and identify better uses for waiting soldiers while reducing unnecessary range detail burden where possible.

Company and battalion range days already have the people present.

The question is how they are being used when they are not actively firing.

This short planning tool helps leaders look at two common manpower drains:

• Soldiers waiting for their firing iteration or sitting around after they have qualified
• Soldiers pulled into range details that may be larger or more repetitive than they need to be

The goal is not to eliminate every pause.

The goal is to make better use of the soldiers already present.
