Which is a core OC/T competency?

• A. Plan TRNG to Meet CDR Intent
• B. Budget Analyst
• C. Security Officer
• D. Public Affairs Officer

Answer: (A)

The key idea being tested is translating the commander’s guidance into actionable training. In OC/T work, success hinges on planning training that directly supports what the commander intends—turning strategic aims into concrete training tasks, scheduling them, and setting up measurements to see if readiness goals are met. Planning training to meet the commander's intent shows the ability to align training objectives with mission goals and ensure resources and time are used to achieve those goals. The other roles involve specialized functions (financial management, security, public communications) that are not about shaping training to reflect the commander's guidance, so they don’t capture this core OC/T capability.
