This manual, Training Circular TC 6-0.4 Training the Mission Command Warfighting Function for Division and Corps April 2019, is a guide for division and corps commanders to use during unit training management and planning. This TC provides the framework for commanders, leaders, and Soldiers, who plan, prepare, execute, and assess training of mission command. The products described in this publication are developed to support the mission-essential task list (METL) training strategy at each echelon.
This publication is written to include several training audiences: division and corps commanders, the staff, the command posts, and the digital crew. This publication is also meant for any general officer level command that has a staff and performs aspects of the operations process in support of the commander. In addition to the training aspects of this publication, educators throughout the Army will gain significant value using this TC.
TC 6-0.4 applies to all components of the United States Army: the Active Army (COMPO 1); both reserve components, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States (COMPO2), and the United States Army Reserve (COMPO 3) unless otherwise stated.
The Army defines mission command as the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander's intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations (ADP 6-0).

This publication highlights the training pathway for the commander and staff as they implement the mission command system at the division and corps level. Figure Introduction-1 illustrates the exercise of mission command (less the additional mission command tasks that are not addressed in these tables).
