What does the authority of the BN Commander cover in terms of training events?

The authority of the Battalion (BN) Commander specifically encompasses the scheduling of training exercises. This involves the commander’s responsibility to ensure that all training events are effectively planned and executed, which is critical to maintaining the operational readiness of the unit. The BN Commander has the authority to allocate resources, establish training priorities, and ultimately approve the calendar for training activities to facilitate cohesive and effective training for their soldiers.

In contrast, individual soldier's medical claims pertain to the medical and administrative processes outside the purview of training authority. Constructive credit for missed events, although related to training accountability, is not a direct authority of the BN Commander but rather falls under broader policy or administrative guidelines. Approval of training manuals involves broader organizational levels, often requiring collaboration with doctrinal and training development entities rather than solely resting with the BN Commander.
