: Instructed, not trained. They're being given information, not taught new skills. "Briefed" is OK too

receives instructions from
I don't think we can avoid talking about instructions here. See German definition (2a): "jemanden in eine neue Tätigkeit einführen, indem man ihm Instruktionen über seine zu verrichtende Arbeit gibt"
https://www.google.de/search?source=hp&ei=CnvlXqTVDd2kytMPsu...
Compare with this:
"A Maritime Raid Force corpsman, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, receives instructions from a Special Operations Training Group instructor during a Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure exercise as a part of Realistic Urban Training at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., July 13, 2014." https://www.dvidshub.net/image/1446884/24th-meus-maritime-ra...
Phil is right: instruction and training are not interchangeable here.
As for briefing, that typically refers to individual events, as in "they were briefed once or twice" whereas we need a verb describing an ongoing activity.
On another note,
"taking up an attack assembly position" seems to be the appropriate translation of Einnehmen von Bereitstellungen". See source below:
"To go into battle without first taking up an attack assembly position (Bereitstellung) means to attack with “march groups” directly."

| Excellent resource lookup Michael, and a solid suggestion. German army analysis by US Intelligence is a was most useful here. |
Discussion
Here might be two possible versions for the whole sentence, based more on content & sense:
-When marching, resting and taking provisions, the company is briefed by the explorers of the reconnaissance platoon.
-During marches, rest and taking on deployments, the company is instructed by the explorers section of the staff company.
One of the very few references for "Erkunderzug" as "explorers section"
It is possible, and do not want to totally throw out this.
This is also why I want suggestions that cover the whole sentence. Perhaps there is another part of the sentence is being interpreted in the unintended meaning.
We need to grasp the armor doctrine here. Literal translations are not what is the endpoint here.
