“If a unit is not well trained, its men know it. This fact adversely affects their confidence, especially if they anticipate there is a possibility of using that training in a critical situation. Every soldier likes to feel that he is playing on a winning team he knows he can’t win if he isn’t well trained.” Gen. Bruce C. Clarke, U.S. Army
It is through training through constant realistic and repetitious training of individuals and units that military organizations acquire the skills they need to succeed on the battlefield. Nothing peacetime leaders do is more important.
