SMF will conduct an assault operations through our AOR IOT secure the area SOUTH from PL IVARS to create favorable conditions for SIMM to declare the area as independent state and block MND-Sentinel CATKs into the area.

ENY will attack in 4 axises.15 km in front of each there is COY-size recce unit with task to confirm suitable advancing corridors and identify possible bypass opportunities. Main units are trying to avoid decisive contact IOT maintain their speed of movement. In case of contact a COY-size unit is maximum that is left to deal with it and main body attempts to bypass.On closed terrain INF is used in first echelon; on open terrain units are swapped if available.

SAP coy is allocated to WEST flank CA BN and to INF BN moving EAST as a ME. In addition to their organic, both movement directions are supported by additional IDF assets.

CAS is used when main body of attacking units are blocked by BN or higher and bypassing is not possible.

The Staff

Staffs exist to help the commander make and implement decisions.

Staff organizations and procedures are structured to meet the Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR).

The CDR and his staff focus on recognizing and anticipatingbattlefield activities in order to decide and act faster than the enemy / situation.

All staff organizations and procedures exist to make the organization, analysis, and presentation of vast amounts of information manageable for the commander.


UNCLASSIFIED

What is the Function of our TOC

• A command post is a unit headquarters where the commander and staff perform their activities. It is often divided into echelons.

• CPs are the principal facilities commanders use to control operations.

• Effective CPs enable commanders to make decisions faster than the enemy.

UNCLASSIFIED

Observations-Movement & Maneuver

Strengths

• Detailed planning throughout the MDMP process provided the CDR accurate COAs

for his operations

• Effectively transitioned between phases by utilizing defined decision points

executed by effective triggers

Challenges

• Integration of primary and special staff

• Frequently planned with minimal staff which created gaps in information flow

• Improve on tactical planning for the deep fight and integration of multinational

platform


UNCLASSIFIED

Observations-Intelligence

Strengths

• Adequate and correct assessments of enemy SITEMP, capabilities, and BDA

• Thorough and accurate IPB provided the CDR a clear and concise picture of

the enemy allowing him to emplace and wargame his units

Challenges

• Intelligence Personnel Configuration

• Disconnected set-up resulted in limited direct contact and diminished

information flow

• Management and integration of specific personnel

• Ensure all personnel are provided specific task and purpose during all

stages of operations to better support mission command


UNCLASSIFIED

Observations-Fires

Strengths

• Individual Artillery Task and Firing Procedures from BDE to Company

• Accurate Target Location / Target’s of Opportunity

• Quick and Reactive Gunnery

• Fire Planning (FSOs)

• Pre-planning your targets ISO operations

• Offense, Defense (FPF), Shaping Ops

• Synchronization of Assets

• Great job using all assets and de-conflicting when necessary

• Fire Support Coordination Measures

• Complete understanding of what they are, and why they are put into effect

Challenges

• Amount of FS personnel in FECC

• At a minimum 4 personnel need to be dedicated to the role of fire support from the company level to BN and BDE

• Targeting Process

• Begin targeting process very early through the MDMP in order to allow the subordinate FS cells to begin fires

planning

• Operational Overview

• The S3, S2, FSO, and other WFF need to operate together and share information more frequently, provided the CDR

of more clear COP


UNCLASSIFIED

Observations-Mission Command

Strengths

• Actively and correctly understood and visualized the threat and enemy template

• Commander provided staff with clear and concise guidance of his objectives

• Integrated and developed effective teams with multinational and joint partners

Challenges

• Decentralized TOC set-up

• Separation of staff sections during operations created an unclear COP

• Difficulty in maintain Common Operating Picture at all echelons

• Inconsistent reporting requirements, and lack of enforcement in receiving

reports

• Mission Command Systems

• Staff did not provide frequent and accurate running estimate to continually

allow the CDR to visualize his combat power throughout the fight


UNCLASSIFIED

Observations-Sustainment

Strengths

• Thorough BDE level CSS planning despite limited planning resources and a lack of

good data

• Precisely forecasted logistical requirements during MDMP to support all phases of

the operation

Challenges

• Lack of Combat Service Support overlays for all operations

• Creating CSS overlays creates a clearer COP for the TOC without

communicating with the S4

• Poor subordinate unit reporting

• BNs did not accurately report their combat effectiveness to BDE resulting in

incorrect Combat Power/Effectiveness reports to the CDR

War Gaming vs CAR

-Attempts to visualize the flow of the operation given:• FF strengths and dispositions• ENY capabilities and possible COAs• impact and requirements of civilians in the AO

-Simplest form of war gaming is the manual method, often utilizing a tabletop approach with blowups of matrices and templates.

War Gaming• The subordinate units plans are synchronized with the other

units in the organization

• The plans of all subordinate commander’s will properly achieve the intent of the higher commander.

• Key CS/CSS plans must be included: casualty evacuation routes, AXPs, refuel points, Class IV/V resupply points, logistics release points, displacement times/locations/triggers for the BSA, EPW collection points.

CP Functions in a Coin Environment – What’s Different?6 Basic Functions of a CP

1. Receive information2. Distribute information3. Analyze information4. Submit recommendations to the

commander5. Integrate resources6. Synchronize resources

HIC Operations COIN Operations1. Information collection/management

focused by targeting requirements2. Information distribution may involve

NGO’s, international forces, and other members outside TF & CO/TM

3. Analysis is a product of collective TF effort involving more than the S-2

4. Submit recommendations to the commander

5. Integration involves NGO’s, contractors, interpreters, etc.

6. Synchronize resources

1. Information collection focused primarily on enemy operations

2. Information distribution revolves primarily to HHQ and subordinate units

3. Analysis techniques covered by BOS elements

4. Submit recommendations to the commander

5. Integration involves primarily U.S. (organic to DIV) forces

6. Synchronize resourcesBOTTOM LINE: Same functions, different focus!


UNCLASSIFIED

To ensure that information is provided to the commander in an efficient and timely manner, periodic update briefs or shift change briefs are conducted. Conducting command shift change or update briefings accomplishes more than just providing the commander a snapshot of current battalion status.

Briefings provide a point in time and place for all staff sections to assemble and ensure that everyone is informed with the same situational understanding. FM 3-90.61

TOC Operations


UNCLASSIFIED

Whatever the age or technology, the key to effective C2 is people using information to decide and to act wisely.

Whatever the age or technology, the ultimate criterion of C2 success is always the same: acting faster and more effectively than the enemy to accomplish the mission at the least cost to the friendly force before the enemy can effectively act.

Parallel planning is two or more echelons planning for the same operation nearly simultaneously. It is facilitated by continuous information sharing by the higher headquarters with subordinate units concerning future operations.

Parallel planning requires significant interaction between echelons. With parallel planning, subordinate units do not wait for their higher headquarters to publish an operations order to begin their own planning and orders development process.
