A company level deployment to JRTC poses many diff-
culties. But with proper planning and preparation, many of
the challenges are easy to overcome. Military police leaders
must ensure proper preparation before deployment to JRTC
so that the military police company continues to remain a
relevant force of choice for the Army in the future.
Guidance and assistance from higher-level elements can
help ensure the success of a military police company tasked
with a JRTC rotation. The organic military police battalion
and brigade can help subordinate companies with the proper
assignment of guest observers-coaches-trainers (OCTs);
training management; BCT linkup assistance; and senior-
level visits to JRTC.
Due to manning limitations at the JRTC, military police
battalions and brigades are generally tasked with sending
organic OCTs to assist in the execution of the rotation and
to help develop the unit at all levels. It is imperative that the
right leader be selected to take on the role of the OCT as the
quality of the OCT directly correlates to the quality of train-
ing and the improvement made by the unit.
Time must be planned for the company to conduct
collective-training exercises. If possible, the company
should be "certifed" for deployment through a battalion-led
and -executed training exercise. Great care should be taken
to ensure that the right skills and tasks are trained and
certifed based on proper mission analysis and coordination
with the BCT.
Because early and effcient communication and synchro-
nization with the BCT lead to proper training management
and more effcient preparation, battalions and brigades
should assist companies with linkups to the BCTs. This
helps to ensure that
the company is be-
ing properly used and
is training toward
the correct end state.
Training plans and
exercises should be
linked with the BCT
intent and guidance as
soon as possible to en-
sure that the company
is trained to complete
specifc missions as
directed by the BCT
commander.
The assistance
provided by higher-
level elements is vital
to the success of the
company. There is no
substitute for the help
that organic battalions
and brigades can pro-
vide. Cooperation at all levels consistently leads to success
at JRTC.
For questions, information, training guidance, current
trends, or additional support, contact military police OCTs
at JRTC. OCTs have access to existing and draft doctrine;
tactics, techniques, and procedures; numerous unit tactical
standard operating procedures; and many other training
aids that can help units properly prepare to get the most
beneft from the unit rotation. JRTC points of contact are
as follows:
