5-2. Environmental-Specific Training and Resources. All personnel require environmental
awareness training. It provides basic information on installation and unit environmental practices, leads
to safer performance, and establishes an environmental ethic among soldiers. In addition to awareness
training, individuals with certain duties and responsibilities require specialized training. Unit leaders
address HM/HW training separately from routine environmental-training requirements.
5-3. 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. Unit commanders are required to implement environmental-specific training to
include environmental awareness, spill prevention and response, HM/HW transportation, storage and
turn-in procedures, accountability, and management. Incorporating the environmental considerations into
training should not change the standard procedures or considerations that a unit and its leaders apply to an
operation.
