At what level are training schedules developed and who approves them?

Training schedules are indeed developed at the company level and are approved by the battalion commander. This structure allows for a focused approach where the company leadership, who have direct oversight of the training needs and operational capabilities of their units, can tailor their schedules to the specific requirements of their soldiers.

The battalion commander, overseeing multiple companies, has a broader perspective that enhances the alignment of training with the overall goals and objectives of the battalion and higher commands. By approving the schedules, the battalion commander ensures that the training being planned aligns with the tactical and operational needs of the unit while also adhering to the training guidance provided at higher echelons. This hierarchical structure facilitates both responsiveness at the company level and integration at the battalion level, contributing to a cohesive training strategy across the formation.
