Army is implementing standardized METL. Does anyone know if we will still train KCT that support the METs or will we train directly to METs?

I could be wrong but i hear that KCT fall directly under METLs to support it.

In the Air Force, we began training for both. METs are the baseline and should be adapted according to the mission.

Sounds like watered down METL training. I have a hard time understanding a company of Armor having the same METL as Finance.

Standardized METL? Sounds like another Good Idea Fairy.

The CSA directed standardized METLs down to company level, and units will begin reporting against the new METLs as early as 1 NOV (reserve component units later). Some standardized METLs have already been approved and are available on the METL viewer on the Army Training Network (look for the big METL button). The most of the rest will be available very soon. METLs consist of 7 or fewer Mission Essential Tasks (METs), each with as many as 7 Supporting Collective Tasks (SCTs).

I'm not sure exactly how we'll treat tasks below company level (e.g. will they be KCT or will they be battle tasks?), but that will be spelled out in the new FM 7-0, which will be published in July (perhaps a little later due to some changes at the Army Publishing Directorate this month). The FM has been approved, and copies of the signature draft may be available as early as next week to senior leaders.

Ran across this while looking for the same answer. I think the Army was going the right direction by redefining METL in ADP 7-0 and ARDP 7-0 but the idea never caught on. The lack of understanding of UTM and thus the reason for implementing a standardized METL is lost in the 200+ pages of the guide. But just in time, FM 7-0 is coming along to change everything and faster than a Delorean take us back to the '90s reintroducing things we left there for a reason. Under OBJ-T, my company will never be higher than a T3 due to MTOE and design.
