FM 7-22.7 THE ARMY NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER GUIDE says that
NCOs are the primary trainers of our soldiers. Sergeant’s Time Training
(STT) affords a prime opportunity for developing our first line leaders while
they gain confidence of their soldiers. Active Component commanders should
institute STT as a regular part of the units training program. This will allow
NCOs to train certain tasks to their soldiers in a small group environment.
Tasks must crosswalk all the way to the Battalion Mission Essential Task List
(METL) and commanders must direct their focus on the Quarterly Training
Guidance.

WHAT IS SERGEANT'S TIME TRAINING?
Sergeant’s Time Training is hands-on, practical training for soldiers
given by their NCOs. It provides our NCOs with resources and the authority to
Page FM 7-22.7A-2 bring training publications or Technical Manuals to life
and to develop the trust between leader and led to ensure success in combat.
In the Active Component, the chain of command and NCO support channel
support this vital training event by scheduling five uninterrupted hours of STT
each week, usually conducted on Thursday mornings from 0700 – 1200
hours. In the Reserve Component, STT may be difficult to accomplish during a
typical Unit Training Assembly or even during Annual Training. But even RC
units should plan and conduct STT after mobilization.

WHO CONDUCTS Sergeant's Time Training?
First line leaders are the primary trainers during Sergeant's Time Training
and should strive for 100% of their soldier’s present for training. Platoon
sergeants assist in the preparation and execution of the training. Officers
provide the METL and resources (time, personnel and equipment) to evaluate
training and provide feedback to commanders. Senior NCOs should protect
this program against distractions and provide leadership and guidance as
necessary to the first line leader. They must train their soldiers to standard
(not to time) oriented on specific tasks to provide the important one-on-one
exchange between NCO leaders and their soldiers.

WHAT TRAINING OCCURS DURING Sergeant's Time?
NCOs conduct a training assessment and recommend what MOS soldier
task or crew and squad collective training they need to conduct during STT.
Topics are based on the small unit leader’s assessment of army training areas
that need special attention. The small unit leader recommends the subjects
for Sergeant’s Time Training at unit training meetings so that the training can
be identified, resourced and rehearsed prior to execution. The commander
puts this training on the training schedule four to six weeks prior to execution.
Schedule resources for the training four weeks before the training.

NCO RESPONSIBILITIES
Command sergeants major will monitor and provide detailed guidance
for STT, provide technical expertise, check training to ensure standards are
established and maintained and advise both commanders and first sergeants
on their program. Preparation is the key to a successful training session and
military training program.
First sergeants will ensure that NCOs scheduled to conduct training do a
risk assessment and rehearse the class prior to training their soldiers.
Sergeant’s Time Training may be used to train soldiers in a low-density
MOS by consolidating soldiers across battalion / brigade and other
organizations. The senior NCO in a low-density MOS conducts training for
other soldiers holding that MOS even if he doesn’t supervise the soldiers
directly. Commanders and their NCOs decide on the frequency of low-density
MOS training but it usually occurs once or twice a month. An example for
low-density MOS training is that for supply clerks in a Transportation
Battalion. Even for low-density MOS training, the Battalion CSM and each
first sergeant is responsible for implementation of the program.

SERGEANT'S TIME TRAINING IS NOT:
Sergeant’s Time Training is not company or battery time, nor is it a
“round robin” training event. Company / battery annual mandatory training,
physical training, inventories, weapons and routine maintenance should not
occur during this time. STT should be hands on training, involving all soldiers
sergeants as instructors; they should be checking training and ensuring it is
conducted to standard. Your unit should conduct STT regularly except during
extraordinary events like post-operations maintenance or during field training
exercises. You may have minimum essential phone watch, CQs and guards.
