    CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait – Warrior Leaders Course small group leaders conducted training on troop leading procedures with students here, April 4.

    TLP are what soldiers throughout the Army use to maximize effectiveness and minimize casualties while on deployments or missions. TLP have eight levels that squad leaders, team leaders and supervisors use to inform troops and execute the mission.

    “This training allows soldiers with all military occupational specialties to get the basic skills to conduct TLP,” Staff Sgt. Mark Paixao, Third Army/ARCENT SGL and Clinton, N.C., native stated. “It is the basic battle focus training that keeps Soldiers alive.”

    This 36-hour field training allows soldiers to walk away from the training with an understanding of how to properly receive the mission, issue the warning order, make a tentative plan, start necessary movement, reconnoiter, complete the plan, issue the complete order, and supervise, which are basic skills needed to lead troops during combat and daily missions.

    “Every soldier needs to know the fundamentals of TLP,” stated Sgt. Jeff Liebl, a team leader assigned to Headquarter and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 135th Infantry Regiment and Willmar, Minn. native.

    This training allows young non-commissioned officers who are students at WLC to develop the skills needed to teach their soldiers TLP back at their units.

    “The need for a well-developed NCO is important in the military,” Liebl said. “NCOs need to take charge and keep the standards high.”

    With SGL’s training soldiers to become more proficient and to sustain skills like TLP, soldiers are more likely to teach other individuals and small groups the skills they have developed after school.

    “All soldiers will be successful once NCOs can lead individuals and small groups through the use of TLP during missions,” Paixao stated.

    With the only forward deployed WLC, Third Army is preparing NCOs for future missions and giving soldiers the ability to teach those under them through Non-commissioned Officer Education System courses such as WLC.
