Q1. Describe and explain how commanders and staff analyze factors such as determine specified, implied, and essential tasks & review available assets and identify resource shortfalls when constructing a comprehensive operational understanding. Provide examples, whether real-world or hypothetical from our rich military history to illustrate how effective analysis at this stage contributes to informed decision-making and course of action development.
Q2. Describe and explain how commanders and staff analyze factors such as determine constraints, identify critical facts, and develop assumptions of mission analysis. Provide examples, whether real-world or hypothetical from our rich military history to illustrate how effective analysis at this stage contributes to informed decision-making and course of action development. Describe the tasks in detail and relate how these tasks tie in with other steps within MDMP.
