History. This publication is a major revision, due to revisions to Army Regulation (AR) 350-50,
3 April 2013 and evolving techniques for exercise planning, preparation, and execution of
Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) exercises. This regulation is directed in AR 350-
50, paragraph 2-15p.
Summary. This regulation outlines the organization and procedures of the MCTP. It also
prescribes policies, procedures, and responsibilities for headquarters and commands conducting
training supported by the MCTP. This regulation also stipulates requirements for Army
commands to support the training events of subordinate training audiences. The current
operating environment compels joint training with other services and combined training with
allied/coalition partners when available. While this document is directive for the MCTP, it is
written with regard to cross-service and combined training where that participation is within the
MCTP guidelines.
Applicability. This regulation applies to Army units (Active, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army
National Guard) involved in training with the MCTP. When applicable, this regulation
specifically addresses differences between these components.
Proponent and exception authority. The proponent of this regulation is the Deputy
Commanding General, Combined Arms Center-Training. The proponent has the authority to
approve exceptions or waivers to this regulation that are consistent with controlling law and
*This regulation supersedes TRADOC Regulation 350-50-3, 23 June 2014.
