My NCOIC and I have friendly debates about topics that relates to what the regs(army rules in general) were when he enlisted compared to now. This was on the amount of times in a year we(Army) should be in the field. He said every 90 days. I said it depends on annual, semi-annual and quarterly training decided by a commander. What regs give a certain number of times of the year?

If there is one, it's an obscure one and nobody ever pays attention to it (I'm not talking about FM 7-0 which lays out the training program ... I'm specifically referring to "you will do xxx amount of field training so often")
From my platoon days through my brigade days, field training has been driven solely by mission and commander requirements.
Your NCOIC might be quoting "policy", but there's no institutional requirement by the Army to rollout of the motor pool every X days.

Concur Sir. If there is anything in black and white it will be in the unit's Annual Training Guidance nested up through Training Guidance at echelon with the individual Commander's intent and S3's influence at each level.

It's been a minute - I don't recall a specific reg, but rather it was driven by requirements as defined by the CDR. And those requirements are derived from the conditions the command is currently experiencing. Tasks and standards don't change - just the conditions. I gonna say you have the better ""answer" on this topic -- as iron sharpens iron, so does a man make another better.. Great to see you can have these discussions with your NCOIC

Mission requirements dictate OPTEMPO. Reset time exists but it is at the discretion of the Commander. The Germany folks who performed REFORGER all know about OPTEMPO and scarce reset time. Glad you're able to experience professional growth moments with your NCOIC.
