2-4. Summary. It is essential to include environmental considerations early and throughout the training
cycle. The integration of environmental considerations is an easy fit that causes no functional change in
battle-focused training. Commanders are required to implement environmental-specific training to
include environmental-awareness; spill prevention and response; HM and HW transportation, storage,
and turn-in procedures; accountability; and management. Incorporating environmental considerations
into training should not change the standard procedures or considerations that a unit and its leaders apply
to an operation.
