PROCEDURE

WHY TO STUDY
TROOP LEADING PROCEDURE

We study the Troop

Leading Procedure in order to
know how to prepare a tactical
mission for the
accomplishment of the unit.
OBJECTIVE
> To enable the learners to know the Troop Leading
Procedure by explaining the following:
1. The 8 Steps of Troop Leading Procedures.

2. The 5 steps of the Estimate of the Situation process.
3. The METT-TC factors to estimate the enemy situation.

PROCEDURE
1. Receive the Mission
2. Issue Warning Order
3. Make a tentative plan
4. Initiate movement
5. Reconnaissance
6. Complete the Plan
7. Issue Complete Order
8. Supervise

#1 STEPS OF TLP
- Receipt of oral or written orders from higher HQ

- In WARNORD, OPORD, FRAGO form
- Conduct initial mission analysis
- Determine TASK
- Determine PURPOSE
- Determine COMDR’S INTENT
- Make initial Timeline

Cont... #1 STEPS OF TLP
WHERE can I get these data?
TASK & PURPOSE – paragraph 3a

COMMANDER’s INTENT – para 3 (Execution,
before concept of operation)


ANALYSIS?
METT-TC factors
a. What is the MISSION?
b. What is known about the ENEMY?
c. How will TERRAIN and WEATHER affect the operation?
d. What TROOPS are available?
e. How much TIME is available?
f. How will CIVIL CONSIDERATIONS influence operations?

INITIAL TIMELINE?
- You may do the backwards planning: from mission

time (Attack Time or Defend Time) back to receipt of PORD
- Consider the TIMINGs in the “

Coordinating Instructions” from the OPORD

- TROOPS ANALYSIS
- CIVIL CONSIDERATIONS

Time Analysis
- Refines allocation of time

- How much time is available
- 1/3 – 2/3 Rule


Time Analysis
- GOAL is to determine the useable time available to both you
and your subordinates.
Consider Critical Times such as:

- crossing of LD - assault time
- defend nlt - higher rehearsal
- recon - begin/conduct movement
Time Analysis
- Space is considered - arrangement of events and

activities in time on the battlefield
- Backwards Planning
- 1/3 - 2/3 Rule

Mission Analysis
- Understand Purpose of Coy Mission

(Mission, Concept, Intent 2 levels up)
- Determine Tasks
(Specified, Implied, Essential)
- Constraints (require or prohibit actions)
- Restated Mission – T&P w/ 5 W’s

Mission Analysis
Determine Tasks:
Specified – directed by higher hqs or those stated in the
OPORD
Implied – not stated in the OPORD but must be
executed to accomplish the specified tasks
Essential – specified task/s that must be accomplished
for the higher unit to be successful in achieving its mission


Mission Analysis
Understand Constraints:
Those that require action

– ex. “maintain platoon in reserve”
Those that prohibit action
– ex. “do not cross phase line Bull until authorized”

Mission Analysis
Prepare Company’s Mission Statement:
WHO – the company
WHAT – mission essential task
WHEN – taken from the OPORD
WHERE – Obj area or defense location
WHY – rationale (purpose) for the task taken from
Concept of Operation of Para 3 of higher OPORD its mission

Mission Analysis
Prepare Company’s Mission Statement:
Ex. “A company,12 IB attacks in zone at 012000 Feb
2003 to seize OBJ FOX (UT123456) in order to prevent enemy forces
from counterattacking into the battalion’s main effort.”

SUMMARY OF MXN ANALYSIS

• RESTATED MISSION
Media on the Battlefield • INITIAL CDRS INTENT
CIVIL Civil Authorities • INITIALRISK ASSESSMENT
Non-Governmwnt Organizations • TENTATIVE DP
Cont...#3 STEPS OF TLP

Summary of Mission Analysis
Derive the following:
- Restated Mission (determined already)

- Initial Commander’s Intent
(w/ respect to Enemy, Terrain, End-state)
- Initial Risk Assessment
(Tactical & Accidental Risks)
- Tentative Decisive Point

Derive the Initial Commander’s Intent:
- Clear & concise statement of what the forces must do

with respect to:
ENEMY
TERRAIN
DESIRED END-STATE
- Does not include the “method” (how) by which the force
will get from its current state to the end state
Commander’s Intent:
MISSION LINK CONCEPT OF

OPERATION
SUBORDINATES
TO EXERCISE INITIATIVE
WHEN UNANTICIPATED WHEN ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF

OPPORTUNITIES ARISE OPERATION NO LONGER APPLIES


Samples of Commander’s Intent:
In relation to Enemy:
- All enemy forces at OBJ BULL destroyed
- Enemy forces fixed in EA DOG
- Enemy recon forces destroyed prior to reaching PL
FISH
In relation to Terrain:
- Company controls west side of Taclang-Damulag NLT
XX
- Company reaches PL DOG NLT XX

In relation to Desired Endstate:
- Company in defensive posture NLT XX, able
to destroy en counter attack along AA RED
- 52IB passed through CP2 without significant
delay


Also derive the following:
Initial Risk Assessment
- Tactical – due to enemy presence
- Accidental – other than tactical
Tentative Decisive Point
- a point, if retained provides a marked advantage
usually geographic in nature/ physical elements
- a time or location where enemy weakness is
positioned that allows overwhelming combat power to be generated
against it

DECISIVE POINT
Is where the unit will mass the effects of overwhelming combat power to achieve result with
respect to terrain, enemy, & time that will accomplish the unit’s purpose.
