What is the primary goal of OC/T training?

The primary goal of OC/T (Observer, Controller/Trainer) training is to prepare units for real-world operations. This training is designed to provide units with realistic scenarios that mimic the challenges they will face in actual missions. The emphasis is on practical application, where trainers observe and assess unit performance in various operational skills. This simulated environment allows for feedback and the development of tactical decision-making abilities necessary for successful real-world engagements.

Focusing solely on completing training quickly would not provide units the comprehensive preparation needed for real scenarios. Similarly, fulfilling paperwork requirements is not an end in itself but rather a means to document and facilitate the training process, which is secondary to the actual operational readiness. Concentrating only on theoretical knowledge neglects the vital hands-on experience that OC/T training aims to impart, which is essential for effective functioning in active duty situations.
