What does a typical Battle Assembly weekend look like?

Your activity on a Battle Assembly weekend will vary monthly and may be different based on your leadership and initiative. In general, a morning formation will begin at 0700 to account for all the personnel present and your leadership will put out the plan for the day although a schedule is generally provided to the Soldiers in advance of the weekend. Following formation, your tasks and trainings are completed.

Once a year, a weekend will be dedicated to weapons training. Other training may include convoy training, setting up your section organizationally, and case studies of previous conflicts. Each unit is aligned with a geographical Command and updates may be included in a drill bringing Soldiers up to speed on emerging issues. Ideally, you’ll take initiative with your fellow 38Gs across the CACOMs and develop your own training plans and learn from each other. This is a rare component of the military where you are encouraged to create your own products, studies, and resources since you are bringing the expertise the Army currently does not possess.
