What does it mean to be READY TO TRAIN?

• A. The unit has the necessary personnel, equipment, facilities, and leadership to train as planned with acceptable risk.
• B. The unit is ready only if there is no risk.
• C. READY TO TRAIN means training is optional.
• D. It requires external approvals.

Answer: (A)

READY TO TRAIN means the unit can execute the training as planned because it has the right people, gear, spaces, and leadership in place, and the training risks have been assessed and deemed acceptable. This recognizes that some risk is inevitable in training, but it is managed to a level the unit can safely handle. It isn’t about zero risk or about training being optional, nor does it hinge on external approvals being required. When all the prerequisites—proper personnel, functional equipment, suitable facilities, and competent supervision—are in place and the risk is controlled, the unit is ready to train.
