1. This message announces the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 mission essential task list (METL), road shows (RS), training and readiness (T-R) manual, and training management team (TMT) review battle rhythm. This will enable the operational force (OPFOR), advocates, formal schools, and major subordinate commands to plan and execute working group (WG) related actions over the next FY. There are 110 Training and Education Command (TECOM) sponsored and 8 Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM) sponsored WGs scheduled for FY 2020. Commanding General (CG), TECOM has determined in reference (a) that the WGs listed in paragraph 3.B. meet the mandate of reference (b). 2. Force Readiness Branch, G-3 MARFORCOM serves as the Service lead agency in the coordination and conduct of all METL WGs. Deputy Commandant (DC), Combat Development and Integration (CDI) and MARFORCOM, supported by advocate representation, Marine Forces, unit subject matter experts (SME), and a TECOM representative supporting the T-R for the specific community of interest (COI) will host OPFOR METL workshops. Installation core METL workshops will be hosted by Marine Corps Installations Command, and supported by DC, CDI and MARFORCOM. 2.a. Request all COI WGs conduct internal staff reviews of their current mission statements and METLs prior to convening or arriving at workshops. Mission statements can be found on the Total Force Structure Division website (https:(slash)(slash)tfsms.mccdc.usmc.mil/portal/page/portal/TFSMS/welcome). 2.b. Organizational structure, table of equipment, training events and output capabilities need to be aligned to COI mission statements and their METLs. 3. Policy and Standards Division serves as TECOM's lead agency for the coordination and facilitation of all T-R, road shows, and TMT WGs. Each WG is intended to be a Service-level forum comprised of occupational SMEs. Ground T-R road shows are pre T-R working group actions that identify T-R events which require causative research to be conducted prior to the conduct of a T-R working group. T-R manual WGs are dedicated to reviewing, validating, and revising training events. TMT WGs identify and prioritize training gaps as appropriate. 3.a. Major pre-WG actions will occur per the standard T-R plan of actions and milestones detailed below: 3.a.1. Six months prior: SME support requirements identified. 3.a.2. Three months prior: Pre-WG message released containing web link with read ahead information for WG attendees. Attendees to ground T-R manual WGs are expected to be familiar with references (c) and (d) while attendees of aviation T-R WGs are expected to be familiar with references (e) and (f); as well as their respective T-R manual prior to commencement of the WG. 3.b. FY 2020 METL, T-R manual, road show, and TMT review battle rhythm. The FY 2020 METL, T-R manual, road show, and TMT WG schedule is as follows (read in three columns).
