Corrective training should continue only until the training deficiency is overcome.

• A. True, until the deficiency is overcome.
• B. It should continue indefinitely.
• C. Only allowed for two weeks.
• D. It should be discontinued if the soldier is tired.

Answer: (A)

Corrective training aims to bring a specific deficiency up to the required standard of performance. The process should continue with focused practice, feedback, and evaluation until the trainee demonstrates the skill or knowledge at the level defined by the standards—injury- or error-free and safe execution. Once that level is reached, the deficiency is considered overcome, and the corrective training for that deficiency ends so the trainee can progress to other tasks. Extending training beyond mastery wastes time and can foster overtraining or plateau. Fatigue should be managed, but it isn’t a reason to stop corrective training before mastery; training should resume when the trainee is rested and still required to meet the standard. If performance later declines, retraining should occur.
