PCC/PCI. Pre-combat checks (PCCs) / Pre-combat inspections (PCIs) and Pre-execution checks are key to ensuring leaders, trainers and soldiers are adequately prepared to execute operations and training to Army standard. PCC/ PCIs are the bridge between pre-execution checks and execution of training. They are also detailed final checks that all units conduct before and during execution of training and combat operations. Conduct PCC/PCIs at the beginning of each event or exercise as part of troop leading procedures to check personnel, equipment, vehicles and mission knowledge. The chain of command is responsible for developing, validating and verifying all PCC/PCIs. Pre-execution checks ensure that all planning and prerequisite training (soldier, leader and collective) are complete prior to the execution of training. They systematically prepare soldiers, trainers and resources to ensure training execution starts properly. Pre-execution checks provide the attention to detail needed to use resources efficiently.

You are the key to inspections, checking soldier and unit readiness in personal hygiene and appearance, weapons, field equipment, displays and sanitary conditions. Inspections must be done regularly to help reinforce standards and instill discipline. Regular, impartial inspections of important areas develop confidence, teamwork and soldiers’ pride in themselves and their equipment.

WARNORD: NLT D–22

Support requests: NLT D–15

OPORD / Risk Matrix (DRAFT): NLT D–15

OPORD / Risk Matrix (complete and signed): NLT D– 8

Pre-Execution Checks: D– 1

TRAINING ASSESSMENT: Most of the MS I and MS II cadets have received some instruction on PCC/PCI, but are not proficient. They are untrained (U). The majority of the MS III cadets have had several practical exercises and are improving. As a class, they are partially trained (P)

PREPARATORY TRAINING: Chain of command will prepare cadets for success with proper packing lists and instructions.

Conduct meaningful PCC/PCI on squad members in order to prepare for success at Wasatch Thunder

CONCEPT: MS I-III will be given PCC/PCI Instruction (refresher) prior to the MS IIIs initiating the PCC/PCI. MS IVs will conduct training while MS IIIs are the primary training audience and will be evaluated on individual skills. Training will be provided as familiarization for MS Is and IIs.

Requests will be submitted in writing, preferred method is memorandum format IAW AR 25-50.

RISK MANAGEMENT: Risk assessment (draft) will be completed IAW CCR 145-3 and coordinated with MAJ Carpenter prior to the Training Meeting on D -15. This is so that modifications to the Risk assessment can be incorporated into the final document to be signed by the commander NLT D -8.
