Just an interesting note: as a Grunt in a fire team we were told that the Commander's intent was the most important piece of info in the OpOrd... When the plan goes to shit (and it will) it is important to know what you are trying to accomplish...

definitely need your tasking and purpose as well.

This is how I still organize my thoughts and plans, even after college. A Marine I was once close with taught me how to write them.

PSA at OCS from 2018 on, Commanders intent is now a part of it. It is broken down into three areas Purpose, Method and End State. Why do you need to do this mission, How are you going to, and how do you want the battlefield to look after the objective is achieved.

Good stuff! I wish we had these kind of resources when I went through ROTC back in the late '80s.

Thanks for the video. One of the best Op Order explanations I've heard.

OCS makes the rules. Not Officer Candidates. We were taught in the form TSUALE because it flows better in the Op-Order.

U dont need to try to sound all hard hy trying to be just another internet tough guy ng y trying to shame someone about their level of infantry knowledge.

Hey man, my recruiter is saying that if I attend OCS via the PLC program and finish OCS successfully I can then decide if I want to commission as an officer or go back to being a civilian. is this really true?

@officercandidate5415

7 жыл бұрын

Yes. This is true. The advantage of going Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) is that you can attend PLC Juniors one summer (6 weeks) and then have 1 whole year to decide whether you want to go to PLC Seniors (6 weeks) the following summer. I believe that even if you complete PLC Seniors, you can decline commission. Going PLC gives you time to decide whether you want this or not. Good Luck!

why has the Corps put so much effort into compilation combat orders O = S The Small Unit Leaders Hand book (how much does that cost?) has so many additions to the original formats, one needs a PHD. Bad guys over there. go kill them. Higher mission: win your mission Win. every unit Win. big mission is to WIN. the grunt only wants the basic mission to WIN. Where are you going to get all the tactical intel the order format requires in a firefight. you forgot the 6th W: WTF. confusion, mission focus, this guy is short list for a star. reminds me o the TBS toy soldiers and bright color plastic tape everyone was supposed to use in the field for terrain layouts in the field. something that can be lost and leave sign for enemy trackers. leave out the obvious. its raining... see W6
