Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 7-20A.1, Training Plan Design, provides guidance to Marine leaders regarding how to create a standards-based unit training program. It introduces unit training management (UTM) roles and responsibilities, beginning with the unit commander and unit training planners. Building on Marine Corps Tactical Publication (MCTP) 7-20A, Unit Training Guide, this publication explains how to use the Systems Approach to Training and Education process to plan unit training. The unit training plan, centered on the unit's mission-essential task list and applicable training and readiness standards, is the foundation for the unit's training management process. Creating the training plan begins with a comprehensive analysis of mission requirements, policies and directives, and unit capabilities.
