    Candidate Spencer took the time to develop a plan and write his order prior to briefing. SNC briefed an extremely detailed five paragraph order, including an exhaustive Execution paragraph, and accurate information from higher’s warning order and fragmentary order. However, SNC spent 80% of his time prepping and briefing his order, showing an inability to effectively manage his time. Once SNC began executing the mission, he did not compensate for the time spent on his order, and his sense of urgency was lacking. SNC had a low frequency of verbal and non-verbal communication with his team and thus had some difficulty maintaining awareness and control of his team member’s movements. Upon consolidation, SNC controlled his security well, assigning…

    Candidate Holthe's five paragraph order was clear and concise. It was easy to understand and flowed well. However, he did brief parts as more of a check in the box without applying them to the execution. For example, he briefed hand and arm signals when they were clearly communicating utilizing voice. Initially he identified security but he then told them it would not be necessary so he did not establish it. SNC briefed a concise scheme of maneuver and his tasks were clear in order to accomplish the mission. SNC did fail to make the necessary adjustments to his plan in a timely manner. When it was clearly evident that his plan was not working he did not make an adjustment until eight minutes into the execution phase. SNC did not move…

    Candidate Miller struggled to deliver a five paragraph order that was in accordance with the OSMEAC format. Although SNC was able to brief some of the information he received from the instructor, he only mentioned "mission" and "signal" before briefing the sub-paragraphs. Additionally, SNC delivered the order with choppy, mumbled phrases and utilized excessive filler words. Candidate Miller displayed minimal confidence, and although he briefed a scheme of maneuver prior to execution, it was clear that he was making it up as he briefed. The tasks he gave to his fire team also lacked clarity and gave the impression they had not been thought through. During the execution, SNC used phrases that displayed lack of assertiveness such as "we should…

He did include detailed tasks to his subordinates for his initial plan, but then micromanaged their movements during execution. Candidate Baca spent time telling his fire team members where to place hands and feet during their attempted crossing of the obstacle and he wasted significant time deciding on a course of action next. He later realized that his plan was not working and that he had not made any progress in achieving his objective. He then asked for his subordinates help and then integrated their advice into his own plan in order to develop a plan…

    Candidate Taber began by tasking each fire team as they arrived to the assembly area. SNC plotted both locations on the map with relative accuracy. SNC utilized the red numbers on the protractor at first and gave improper azimuth. After the evaluator told him he was incorrect he then gave a proper azimuth, but the distance was incorrect. SNC posed confidence while presenting his brief with a strong voice and an understanding of the five paragraph order format but was vague on the information being presented. After the brief SNC gave some time so that the fire team leaders could brief their teams on the scheme of maneuver. As the squad began to move out the point man instantly called a halt and the squad leader rushed to the front to assess…

    Candidate Summerour provided a five paragraph order that contained most of the needed information to carry out the mission, but not much more and not necessarily in the proper order. SNC’s brief was very choppy and SNC seemed overwhelmed with the amount of information he needed to organize and disseminate. His scheme of maneuver was hasty and was briefed after the tasks. The tasks assigned did not have a purpose. SNC’s execution went well until the one point of friction, the simulated casualty, occurred. SNC did not give orders to neutralize the enemy for a few moments. During this time his sense of security was lacking. He left the casualty where he fell and took the rest of the fireteam to assault the enemy, having no assistance or cover…

SNC also mismanaged his time by briefing his incomplete order very slowly, taking time away from his execution. During execution, SNC had great difficulty making a decision and directing his team once friction was encountered, prompting a team member to suggest that the team leader…

    Candidate Burton displayed a basic understanding of the five paragraph order, however he did not brief a scheme of maneuver. SNC did brief a clear and detailed tasking statement to each team member. SNC almost forgot to brief security, but finally remembered it after he briefed Command & Signal. SNC displayed a lack of command presence and communication by giving commands quietly and without a sense of urgency. SNC placed himself at the very front of his fireteam during execution. This limited SNC’s ability to control his team’s movement causing poor dispersion and lack of control. Because his incoherent commands and lack of awareness of the tactical situation, SNC’s tasking for consolidation failed to produce an appropriate 360 degree security…

    Following instructions, especially to the smallest detail, is incredibly important for several reasons. It accomplishes a number of things in addition to the task the instructions are specifically given for, but the foremost reason for the importance of following detailed instructions is to successfully and correctly complete the task.
