What is the second step in a task crosswalk?

• A. Select Subordinate Echelon Collective Tasks to Train
• B. Select the Prioritized Higher Echelon Task to Cross Walk
• C. Select Individual Tasks
• D. Identify the Mission Essential Task

Answer: (A)

In a task crosswalk, you first establish the Mission Essential Task that the unit must perform, then you identify the lower-level elements that will support training for that task. The second step is to select the subordinate echelon collective tasks to train. These are the grouped tasks at the next lower level that, when trained together, enable the higher-level MET to be accomplished. By choosing these subordinate collective tasks, you create the concrete training components that will be mapped to the higher task, ensuring the training plan directly supports mission requirements. The other steps don’t fit this immediate progression: identifying the MET is the first step, choosing the higher echelon task to cross-walk would precede this, and selecting individual tasks comes after you’ve defined the collective tasks to train.
