4-62. Training briefings produce a contract between the senior commander and each subordinate commander. As a result of this contract, the senior commander agrees to provide resources, including time, and protect the subordinate unit from unprogrammed taskings. The subordinate commander agrees to execute the approved training plan and conduct training to standard. This shared responsibility helps maintain priorities, achieve unity ofeffort, and synchronize actions to achieve quality training and efficient resourcing. The QTB or YTB, as appropriate, is the forum where contracts for that training period are discussed and confirmed. Training guidance flows from the top-down and requirements for planning and execution of tasks flow from the bottom-up.
