§ Lord Vivianasked Her Majesty's Government:
What are the criteria for the collective performance levels 1–5 in regiments of the Royal Amoured Corps. [HL3141]
§ Lord BachCollective performance (CP) levels are generic for Army formations and units, and are not specific to the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC). The definitions of CP levels 1–5 are as follows:
CP level Description CP 1 Units, sub-units or detachments all of whose soldiers have successfully completed their individual Foundation Training (Individual Training Directives (Army) and Special To Arm Training) in year. CP 2 A unit trained in single arm sub unit skills. CP 3 A unit trained in single arm/specialist role skills (i.e. up to unit level) less specific to theatre training. CP 4 A battle group or unit trained for its primary task/ all arms operations, less any specific to theatre training. CP 5 A formation or task force, trained for all arms operations, less any specific to theatre or mission training. Regiments of the RAC are required to reach up to CP4. They achieve this by gaining proficiency in a number of mission essential tasks (land), depending on their role and designated readiness.
