This United States Army manual, Training Circular TC 3-20.31-9 Armor Platoon Services July 2024, provides a training strategy for Armored Platoons using the operations process, 8-step training model, applicable Army doctrine, regulations, and technical manuals to plan, prepare, execute, and assess services. Services are regulated by AR 750-1, with applicable technical manuals, unit standard operating procedures, and commanders' guidance. Without a coherent training strategy there is a great variation in execution by the operational force. The principal audience for TC 3-20.31-9 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces.
