"The 3d ID "How to Train" manuals have been compiled to bridge the gap between the identifying of our Mission Essential Tasks and achieving the ability to execute those mission essential tasks to standard. They document and standardize the methods which we use to assess our training shortfalls and to develop our strategy to overcome those shortfalls and sustain our warfighting skills."

Likely published in 1990 under the direction of MG Wilson A. Shoffner, commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division.
