With Laem thee, Ehey must rely on on previously rehearsed actions, Cattle drills, and stending operating precedurms. 2-1. MESBION TACTICS Mission kectice is the term used to deeerioe the ercit of conmand authority by # jer, Mimaian teetice plac the relationship of command, control, and cammunications in proper perepective by enphasizing the predominance of connand, This amphatie® on command, rather than control. provides for initiative, the accep of risk, and fapid @eirure of opportunities on the battlefield. Miasion tactics can be viewed a freedom of action for khm imader to suscute his mission in the wey he # fite, Father chan being told how te de it. Mission t reinforced by the knowledge of the Righer commanders intent and focused on = ain effort mateblishes the nw ary bagie for amalin-unit ership. 1 a. The philesophy of miamion tactice extends throughout all levels of comand. Leaders must be provide the meavimue freedom to command and have impawad en them only the costes] necessary ta synchronize mission accomplishmert. Sometimes leaders must issue specif instructions. Narmaliv, thie ia necessary mben the 4 BCELONe must be Eynchreeized with other actians. Mission ace, ae a command philogahy, recognizes the many tools available to the jgader, but emphasizes that there ts no Bubstitutm ¢or the cergonal element of comnanc, ts B. Evecution ef mmsion tactics recuires initiative, resourcefulngee, and imagination. Initiative must be driven by the commander “s intent. not merely by # desire for independent action, Leaders must be rmeourcefai enough to adapt to situations ae they are, net ae they were Bipectec to be c. Piston and scusd leagers also must effectively control their subordinetes. Control restricts command. Generally, increased conteel leads to lese application of command, Not all control is bad or counterpraductive. For e@vanple, common doctrine is s form of Conteol in enat ai] Jeaders expect their subordinates to understand and apoly the tenets of doctrine. Another common source of comtrol ia the Wee of graphice for operation overlay optional and situational) y-dependent, theee are r and nugt be revimeed by the leader before tmplomencatson. Each control measure must hove a specific purpose thet COMEPSbutes TO Me eS1on accomplishment. I¢ it does not pass this gurpome test, it uneecesserily restricts freedam of action and shauld not be used. d. Control is neeesary to sychernize the actions of slenents participating in an operation. The more comple the operation, the greater the amount of control. ‘he challenge to leaders is to provide the minim amount af control required and stil] allaw for decentralized decision snaking in esch situation, IL) Mission tactice requires thet leaders isarn how to think rather than whet to think. It recognizes that the aubordinate ie often the only person at the paint of decision who can make an inéormed decision. Guided by the cOnmander Ss Gntent, the mission, and the concept of the operation, the lmader can make the right decision. (2) @t platoon anc squac level, useful forme oF control include common doctrine. pismion, concept of the sparation, timm, and control neasure fal Doctrine, epecially an thm 4orm of battle arible and usit SOPs that oremcribe a way of performing a task, provides an element of control. Sy bimiting the ways in whieh # task i= performed to standard, battle deilia and unit §0Ps provide a common basia for action; allow tor quick, practiced response) decrmace the probability for confusion and loss of cohesion) and reduce the number of decisions to the ential minimum, sb The mission statement ef the unit ia alec a form af control. Its surpos® provides the basis for Secigion and allows freedom of action. Its task provides a» basia for establishing the main effort and focuses al! other actions toward migeion sccomp]1enment . ie) The concent of the operations identifies the main and supporting efforts for tne higher unit and OS6CrIb@R how 4 commander sees the execution of the gperation. This allows the mavimum possible freedon of action for the subordinate tmader tagked with swecuting the main effort, Leaders evecuting the supporting mffort Will have Lesa freedom of action because thay must bey their actions on the main effort. The cancepe of the operation alsc deteilm the control of fires and other combat multipliers which must be synchronized and focused oe the main effort. (d1 Leaders use time to control unats or individuals Gy establishing specifically when « task should bagi or be complete. Control using time is #specially critica] when the unit°s actions must oe synchronized with other unite or supporting #]enents ra i “a (eh Another source of control 14 the use of Contes] measures. These include instructions ta fubordinate unite, firm commands, and the use of operational graphice in qverlays. While normally optional and situationally-dependent, control measures are potentially restrictive and ust be revigwed by leaders bavore incorporating them inte their plans. 7a eneure the Aroper amount of control, each control measure mist have a Spacitic purpose thet contributes to mission SCCompliannent. If it dome mot pase this test, it unnecessarily restricts freedom of action end should not be umd. + Phatoon and squed leader use mission tactics to accomplyan the misaion. They give orders and snetruckiona that communicate the higher commender's intents che igsion ttask and purpose} of the unity and the concept of the Operation, to include control measur. They alec wu miesion tactics ta mnmure that subordinates understand that they are expected to Usm initiative in making decimione when the situation is no longer what it was mupectad to be. 2-2. TROOP-LEADING PROCEDURES, Tre troop-leading procedures are the dynamic process by which # commander receives a mimsion, plans it, and sxacutes it. It shauld be an inetinctive ano familiar wey Of THIMKing for a platoon Imader. The sequence cf the individual TLPs ia not rigid. It is modified ta meet the 10M, Situation, and available time.
