So I got tasked to do this training event and in said training event I will be running a “Battalion S3.” Where do I even begin to study on how to do that?

Good morning! I am currently at a BN S3 as Training NCO, Land & Ammo, and CUOPs in Garrison. My go-to for "What is my lane/role" is FM 6-0 (https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/Details.aspx?PUB_ID=104216) May 2014 edition. It doesn't provide step-by-step instructions as to *how* to do stuff, but it tells you *what* stuff you do. Just Ctrl+F for "S-3"

If you're acting as an overall S-3 stand-in for *Garrison*, then you can expect some of (But not limited to) the following:
-Manage schools/courses enrollment (ATTRS)
-Manage/create BN OPORDS and passing down BDE OPORD's (AR 25-50 & FM 6-0 Appendix C)
-Create and respond-to taskings to subordinate elements (Companies) IAW the afore-mentioned OPORDs
-Coordinate unit-external resources for unit training (I.E. Reserve training areas/ranges, arrange for Ammo, Coordinate with Medical units for LFX, etc) (TAMIS, RFMS)
-Manage, coordinate, and record unit training (DTMS) (This is more verification, O-Rooms/Training Rooms at company-level should be conducting training and recording it themselves)

Just a broad over-view, feel free to message me if you need more info. I hope this helped, and good luck!

Check out "The role of the NCO in the TOC" written by CSM Killingsworth.
