In that case, how does the week's training help at all?

Maybe it's helpful just for you to understand the way the military is organised: if you are conscripted you should report to this base, you'll sleep here, your commanding officer will be someone from this branch of the armed forces, you'll be in a group of X people sharing Y shifts, etc.

Maybe some conflicted interest of a company/s that will provide the training so they can milk few contracts that way.
