Which of the following is NOT a source document for unit assessment?

• A. METL assessment
• B. Commanders Training Objectives
• C. Unit Training Plans
• D. Unit readiness report

Answer: (D)

Unit assessment relies on documents that define what the unit must be able to do and how that performance is measured. A METL assessment examines each mission-essential task and tracks proficiency against standards, giving a clear picture of capability. Commanders Training Objectives specify the exact outcomes the unit should achieve, guiding training and providing measurable targets. Unit Training Plans lay out the scheduled training activities, resources, and milestones that produce the desired competencies.

The Unit readiness report, while important for showing current status (personnel, equipment, supply, and overall readiness levels), isn’t a primary source that defines tasks, objectives, or the standards used to assess performance. It’s a status-and-health snapshot used for reporting up the chain, not the foundation for evaluating training outcomes.
