Initiate Movement
The platoon mey need to begin
movement while the leader is still
planning forward reconnoitering. The
platoon sergeant or a squad leader may
bring the platoon forward, usually under
the control of the company executive
officer or first sergeant.
This is where your subordinate leaders
prepare men, weapons and equipment
for the coming mission. It is an excellent
time for them to eat, conduct
maintenance on weapons/equipment,
and gather together anything they are
going to need for the upcoming mission.
Conduct Reconnaissance
When time allows, the leader makes a
personal reconnaissance to verify his
terrain analysis, adjust his plan, confirm
the usability of routes, and time any
critical movements. When time does not
allow, the leader must make a map
reconnaissance.
The leader must consider the risk
inherent in conducting reconnaissance
forward of friendly lines. Sometimes the
leader must rely on others (for example,
scouts) to conduct the reconnaissance if
the risk of contact with the enemy is high.
Complete the Plan
The leader completes his plan based on
the reconnaissance and any changes in
the situation.
He should review his mission, as he
received it from his commander, to
ensure that his plan meets the
requirements of the mission and stays
within the framework of the commander’s
intent.
Issue OPORD
Platoon and squad leaders normally
issue oral operations orders.
(1) To aid subordinates in understanding
the concept for the mission, leaders
should issue the order within sight of the
objective or on the defensive terrain.
(Cont..)When this is not possible, they
should use a terrain model or sketch.
