Cpl's Course Tactical Planning.pdf file:///C:/Users/HP/Desktop/dddd/Cpl's%20Course%20Tactical%20PCpl's Course: Tactical Planning
1. BAMCIS OVERVIEW: The troop leading steps are meant to aid leaders in mak- ing tactically
sound decisions, formulating plans, coherently communicating those plans, and turning those
decisions into action.
2. RECEIPT OF MISSION: The receipt of a mission triggers the troop leading steps.
• To make effective use of available time, the leader issues a warning order (an abbreviated set
of instructions to inform of an impending action) to subordinates; this allows subordinate
leaders to begin preparations while the leader conducts a detailed analysis.
• At the end of this step, leaders will emerge with an initial plan that they expect to execute,
pending the validation of the assumptions made during planning. To begin answering
questions about the enemy or environment, leaders will arrange to conduct a reconnaissance.
3. ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION: The purpose of the estimate of the situation is to collect
and analyze relevant information for developing, within the time limits and available
information, the most effective solution to a problem.

• Although normally used in solving tactical problems, it is applicable to other military activities.
The estimate is as thorough as time and circumstances permit.
• Estimates are revised continuously as factors affecting the operation change, as new facts are
recognized, as assumptions are replaced by facts or rendered invalid, or as changes to the
mission are received or indicated.
• Detailed analysis conducted before mission execution will increase the speed and accuracy of
decisions as the situation changes at the point of friction.
4. METT-T ANALYSIS: The format, often referred to by the acronym METT-T, pro- vides a
logical sequence for analyzing all relevant factors.
5. ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION:
MISSION ANALYSIS: The first step in the estimate is mission analysis; it is the means for the
unit leader to gain an understanding of the mission.
• Task analysis: The unit leader must identify and understand all that is required for the
successful accomplishment of the mission. This includes tasks received in the unit's task
statement and coordinating instructions from the higher commander's operations order.

• Limitations: These are restrictions on the freedom of action of the friendly force; these prohibit
the commander from doing something specific. Tactical control mea- sures, rules of engagement
(ROE), and the statements, "Be prepared to...," "Not earlier than...," "On order...," are some
examples of limitations.
6. ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION:
ENEMY ANALYSIS: Enemy analysis is conducted to not only know what assets the enemy has, but
also to understand what the enemy is doing.
• What is the enemy trying to accomplish?
• How will the enemy use each available element of combat power?
Input comes from many sources including enemy doctrine, current enemy activities indicated in
higher's order, units that have previously operated in the area, and
the unit's intelligence section. The information used to analyze the enemy situation includes the
following:

• What does the enemy have?
• What is the enemy trying to accomplish?
Describe your enemy:
• Identify the forces and equipment that the enemy can bring to bear within your unit's zone or
sector.
• Also considered are known and suspected enemy locations and strength estimates in relation to
personnel, equipment, and support capabilities.
• The elements of the acronym SALUTE are helpful when developing and organizing this
information.
