Since 1986, the Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) continues to provide world-class collective training opportunities for U.S. Army corps, Army divisions, Army Service component commands, and functional multifunctional brigades across the operating force. For the past six years, MCTP has focused on preparing Army forces to fight and win during large-scale combat operations (LSCO) against a freethinking and peer-threat opposing force.

The information in this handbook is a snapshot of MCTP's recent observations of Army training in a LSCO environment. These observations were written by a collaborative group of experienced officers, noncommissioned officers (NCOs), and chief warrant officers working in conjunction with our highly qualified expert-senior mentors (HQE-SMs).
