Weather Analysis - ✔✔Consideration of the weather's effects is an essential part of the analysis. The
leader determines how the weather will affect visibility, mobility, and survivability of friendly and enemy
units by considering the military aspects of weather.
•
Visibility
The leader identifies conclusions about visibility factors such as light data (begin morning nautical
twilight [BMNT], sunrise [SR], sunset [SS], end evening nautical twilight [EENT], moonrise [MR], moonset
[MS], and percentage of illumination), fog, and smog, and about battlefield obscurants such as smoke
and dust.
•
Winds
Winds of sufficient speed can reduce the combat effectiveness of a force as the result of blowing dust,
smoke, sand, or precipitation. Windblown sand, dust, rain, or snow can reduce the effectiveness of radar
and other communication systems. Strong winds can also limit aviation operations.
•
Precipitation
,Precipitation affects soil trafficability, visibility, and the functioning of many electro-optical systems.
•
Cloud Cover
Cloud cover affects ground operations by limiting illumination and the solar heating of targets. Heavy
cloud cover can degrade many target acquisition systems, infrared-guided munitions, and general
aviation operations.
•
Temperature and Humidity
Extremes of temperature and humidity reduce personnel and equipment capabilities and may require
the use of special shelter or equipment.
Civil Considerations (Human Terrain) - ✔✔Civil considerations include the influences of man-made
infrastructure; civilian institutions; and the attitudes and activities of civilian leaders, populations, and
organizations within an AO, with regard to the conduct of military operations.
•
Areas
Key civilian areas are localities or aspects of the terrain within an AO that have significance to the
local populace.
•
,Structures
Analyzing a structure involves determining how its location, functions, and capabilities can support
operations.
•
Capabilities
Capabilities can refer to the ability of local authorities—those of the host nation or some other body—
to provide a populace with key functions or services.
•
Organizations
Organizations are nonmilitary groups or institutions in the AO. They influence and interact with
the populace and each other.
•
People
People is a general term describing all nonmilitary personnel that military forces encounter in the AO.
This includes those personnel outside the AO whose actions, opinions, or political influence can
affect the mission.
•
Events
, Events are routine, cyclical, planned, or spontaneous activities that significantly affect organizations,
people, and military operations.
ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION:
TROOPS & FIRE SUPPORT AVAILABLE - ✔✔In the same way that we analyze the enemy's composition,
disposition, and strengths along with enemy capabilities and limitations, a unit leader must also analyze
the friendly assets available and their capabilities. The unit leader must also consider:
•Mental and physical condition of the Marines
•Level of unit and individual training
•Status of equipment and fire support assets
Organic - ✔✔Identify the capabilities and limitations of the assets your organic unit will bring to bear
on the enemy during the conduct of the mission.
Attachments and Detachments - ✔✔Assets (if any) that will detach from your unit
•Units or assets that have been attached to your unit
How will this affect your ability to achieve mission success?
Fire Support Available - ✔✔Identify locations, azimuths of fire, contact information, employment
(general support [GS], direct support [DS], or attached [(ATT]), and any priority of fires of indirect fire
support agencies.
