PRT
What do NCO's do to accomplish the PRT mission?
- Identify specific tasks that PRT enhances in support of the unit's METL. - Prepare, rehearse and execute PRT. - Evaluate PRT and conduct AARs to provide feedback to the commander. - Senior NCOs train junior NCOs and aid in developing junior officers, ensuring mastery of PRT drills, exercise activities and assessments.
What are the 3 PRT phases?
- Initial Conditioning Phase - Toughening Phase - Sustaining Phase
What Army Regulations and Doctrine are in Support of PRT?
- AR 350-1: Army Training and Leader Development - ADP & ADRP 7-0: Training Units and Developing Leaders - FM 7-22: Army Physical Readiness Training
List 4 of the 8 Mobility Qualitative Performance Factors.
- Agility: Ability to stop, start and change direction - Balance: Ability to maintain equilibrium - Coordination: Ability to perform multiple tasks - Flexibility: Range of motion at a joint and surrounding muscles - Posture: Any position in which the body resides - Stability: Structural integrity that enhances body management - Speed: Rate of movement - Power: Product of strength and speed
What is the link between the Operation Environment and PRT?
- Commander - MFT - WTBD's
What are some examples of endurance training.
- Examples of anaerobic training are speed running, individual movement techniques and negotiation of obstacles. - Examples of aerobic training are foot marching, sustained running, cycling and swimming
What are the secondary goals of PRT?
To instill confidence and the will to win; develop teamwork and unit cohesion; and integrate aggressiveness, resourcefulness and resilience
What does the sustaining phase of PRT prepare Soldiers for?
To perform in their assigned duty position and the requirements of the unit's METL as it applies to ARFORGEN.
What are the three types of PRT?
- On ground - Off ground - Combatives
What are the three principles of PRT?
- Precision - Progression - Integration
Define precision.
- Precision is the strict adherence to optimal execution standards for PRT activities. - Precision is based on the premise that the quality of the movement or form is just as important as the weight lifted, repetitions performed or speed of running.
Define progression.
- Progression is the systematic increase in the intensity, duration, volume and difficulty of PRT activities. - The proper progression of PRT activities allows the body to positively adapt to the stresses of training.
What are the three components of PRT?
- Strength - Mobility - Endurance
_______(fill in the blank)_______ plan training in detail, prepare for training thoroughly, execute training to standard and evaluate long-term training proficiency in terms of desired long-term results.
- The Commander - The Master Fitness Trainer - Warrior Task and Battle Drill's
What are the 11 Principles of Army Training? (name no less than 4)
- Train to Sustain - Train to Standard - Train to Maintain - Train as You Will Fight - Noncommissioned Officers Train Individuals, Crews, and Small Teams - Commanders and Other Leaders are Responsible for Training. - Train while Operating - Train Fundamentals First - Train to Develop Adaptability - Understand the Operational Environment - Conduct Multiechelon and Concurrent Training
___________ are the foundation of Army strength training and body management.
Calisthenics
Define endurance.
Endurance is the ability to sustain high-intensity activity of short duration (anaerobic), and low-intensity activity of long duration (aerobic)
What 2 principles of training is "FITNESS" woven into?
Except for "Train to Maintain". However, fitness is specifically mentioned in: - Train Fundamentals First - Train to Sustain
_______________ uses multiple training activities to achieve balance and appropriate recovery between activities in the PRT program.
Integration
Define integration
Integration uses multiple training activities to achieve balance and appropriate recovery between activities in the PRT program.
___________ is based on the premise that the quality of the movement or form is just as important as the weight lifted, repetitions performed or speed of running.
Precision
What is the definition of Army Physical Readiness?
The ability to meet the physical demands of any combat or duty position, accomplish the mission and continue to fight and win.
Define mobility.
The functional application of strength and endurance. It is movement proficiency.
PRT System brings Soldiers to a state of physical readiness through a systematic program of drills and activities specifically designed to enhance what?
The performance of WTBDs (Warrior Task and Battle Drills)
What does the initial conditioning phase of PRT prepare Soldiers for?
These exercises and activities prepares the individual for the rigors of initial military training (IMT).
Define on ground training.
This includes activities in which Soldiers maintain contact with the ground. Activities such as marching, speed running, sustained running, calisthenics and resistance training create a foundation for physical fitness and movement skills.
Define off ground training.
This includes activities that take place off the ground briefly (jumping and landing), or while suspended above ground for longer periods (climbing bar and negotiation of high obstacles). Examples of jumping and landing exercises are high jumper, power jump and verticals. Negotiation of high obstacles (reverse climb and cargo net) and exercises using the climbing pod (pull-up and leg tuck) require manipulation of the body and specific movement skills while suspended above ground.
Define combatives.
This includes techniques that deter or defeat opponents using projectile (weapons), striking and/or close range (grappling).
Define strength.
This is the ability to overcome resistance and runs a continuum between two subcomponents: absolute muscular strength and muscular endurance.
When is the initial conditioning phase conducted?
This phase of training is conducted before enlistment or pre-commissioning.
What does the toughening phase prepare Soldiers for?
This phase prepares Soldiers to move to the sustaining phase.
What is the purpose of PRT?
To actually make them physically ready for the conduct of unified land operations. - The purpose of Army PRT is not merely to make our Soldiers look fit, but to actually make them physically ready for the conduct of unified land operations.
What does PRT prepare Soldiers and units for?
To be successful in the conduct unified land operations
When is the toughening phase of PRT take place?
Toughening phase occurs during initial military training: BCT, OSUT, (red/white/blue phases and BOLC).
