(1) Restraints limit what may be done. They are prohibitive - plans must not include these prohibited actions. An
example of a restraint is: "No pre-emptive offensive actions allowed."
(2) Constraints impose specific obligations that must be met. An example of a constraint imposed by higher authority
is: "Counter-offensive action must begin before 17 Nov XX."

ANALYSIS OF FRIENDLY COA

Warfighting functions
Command & Control:

 Are the ENY C2 systems countered to destroy his ability to make and promulgate timely and
appropriate decisions?
 Are our C2 systems protected to preserve the ability to make and promulgate timely and
appropriate decisions?
 Is the COA simple enough to be con in fog of war?
Movement & Manoeuvre:
 Does the COA get us into a position of advantage in respect of the ENY from which force can
be threatened or applied?
 Do we prevent the ENY from reaching a position of advantage with respect to our forces?
 Does forces in the COA fight as combined arms team?
 Does the COA facilitate future operations?
 Is combat power employed in the best combat ration?
 Is the COA flexible?
 Does countermobility and mobility supports the COA in the most efficient manner?
Fire Support:
 Does the COA achieve conc of force (mass)?
 Do we achieve the desired outcome by the most economic means (fix rather than defeat
rather than destroy etc)?
 Does the COA use firepower to enable us to attain a position of advantage, or just to achieve
attrition?
 Does the COA deny the ENY the ability to use a conc of firepower from a position of
advantage?
 Does the COA allow observed fire?
 Are the mortars used in most efficient manner?
Protection:
 Does the COA preserve the fighting potential of our force so that it can be applied at a
decisive time and place?
 Is a realistic reserve preserved for:
- Countering the ENY if execution goes badly;
- Exploiting if execution goes well;
 Do I preserve/prevent the ENY gaining the initiative?
 Does employment of AD assets protects the force & supports the SoM?
Intelligence:
 Does the COA have eyes on objective?
 Does the COA account for ENY reserves or CATK?
 Is recce/counter-recce supported?
 Does the COA present the opportunity to secure timely and accurate intelligence to achieve
tempo in our critical decisions?
 Does the COA prevent the ENY from securing intelligence to sp the tempo of his ops?
Sustainment:
 Is the COA sustainable?
 Do transportation, maintenance, resupply and MEDEVAC support the COA in the most
efficient manner?
