You hold Rehearsals to confirm orders. They are not and should not included training.
Training is learning. I do not want anyone confusing training with operations. If you say training should be rigourous, hard, and very demanding, I agree, but I see no merit in confusing the two.
At the unit level everyone takes the war very seriously. There are not many improvements that can be made in the mix of resources unless there is a lot more money.
If one would want to suggest tactical solutions, you would have to have a very good understanding of current practice, and be able to understand it in context. I strongly caution against the school of "Youtube Critiquing."
That said, good ideas are good ideas and no one should not be open to them.
