Who determines which tasks in the specialty training standard (STS) apply to their specific mission when developing a master task listing (MTL)?

The supervisor is responsible for determining which tasks in the specialty training standard (STS) apply to their specific mission when developing a master task listing (MTL). This role is crucial because the supervisor has a deep understanding of both the training requirements and the operational needs of their unit. They can assess the specific skills and competencies that will best prepare their personnel to meet mission demands.

The supervisor’s involvement ensures that the training aligns with the actual job functions and responsibilities expected in the field. Their ability to interpret the STS in relation to the unit's objectives makes them central in customizing the MTL to ensure relevance and effectiveness in training initiatives. Thus, the MTL becomes a tailored document that serves as a roadmap for the training and development of personnel within the context of the unit’s mission.
