Your last AAR should help shape your next training event. Use this practical worksheet to connect observations, T&EO standards, ownership, and follow-up.

The best time to discover a missing evaluator, unavailable reference, unclear standard, or unsuitable condition is before the training audience arrives. A structured T&EO review gives leaders and evaluators a common understanding of what will be trained, what will be observed, and how results will be recorded. Use this checklist as a preparation aid, not as a substitute for the current T&EO, risk-management requirements, command guidance, or local standard operating procedure

A PDF can look official and still be the wrong version. Files saved to a shared drive, attached to an old email, or copied from an unofficial website may remain in circulation long after a publication is superseded or rescinded. Before using a publication to plan, teach, or evaluate training, verify it against an official Army source.

Most Soldiers and NCOs know the struggle: trying to find the right T&EO, moving between Army portals, asking other leaders, and checking whether the outline is the right version. When you’re away from a government computer, printing or opening an Army source link can be difficult. Access depends on the source system, your device, and the network you’re using. I built ArmyTEO to make the discovery part easier. What ArmyTEO does ArmyTEO is an independent, unofficial resource fo

Finding an Army Training and Evaluation Outline starts with identifying the task and choosing the right source.
