Characteristics of offense - ANS-surprise, concentration, tempo, and audacity

, Commitment-focused organizational change - ANS-(Climate first) When leaders change their
subordinates' thinking first through a supportive mutually trusting command climate which
creates commitment and changes behavior slowly over time
Compliance-focused organizational change - ANS-(Culture first) When leaders change their
subordinates' behavior first through compliance and change their thinking (and the
organizational climate) later
DAFL - ANS-Direct Authority for Logistics; CCDRs exercise authoritative direction over
logistics, in accordance with Title 10; DAFL cannot be delegated or transferred, however, the
CCDR may delegate the responsibility for common support to a subordinate JFC or Service
component commander to accomplish the subordinate JFC's or Service component
commander's mission.
Defeat mechanisms - ANS-Tool the commander uses to broadly describe the operational
approach to get to the desired endstate in offense or defense operations; destroy, dislocate,
disintegrate, and isolate
Defense Acquisition System - ANS-A five step joint force management process that ensures
COCOMs receive the material requirements they ask for to support strategic objectives
using milestones
defensive task purpose - ANS-task conducted to defeat an enemy attack, gain time,
economize forces, and develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability tasks
Defensive tasks - ANS-the area defense, the mobile defense, and the retrograde
Direct leadership - ANS-face-to-face or first-line leadership; generally in teams, squads,
sections, platoons, departments, companies, batteries, and troops; span of influence may
range from a few to dozens of people; more certainty and less complexity than
organizational and strategic leaders.

authorizing it to answer directly to the supported force's request for assistance.

organization, training, material, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, policies

Elements of Operational Design (Joint) - ANS-Termination criteria, endstate*, objectives,
effects, center of gravity*, decisive points*, lines of operation and effort*, indirect and direct
approaches, anticipation, operational reach*, culmination*, arranging operations, forces and
functions; used to create an operational approach to get from current operating environment
to desired endstate
emotional intelligence - ANS-self-awareness, self-management, social awareness,
relationship management that allow a leader to apply correct influence tactic at the right time
for the right person
Envelopment - ANS-form of maneuver where attacking force avoids the enemy defenses by
seizing objectives behind those defenses to destroy the enemy in their current positions.
Ethical triangle - ANS-1) principles - what is my moral obligation based on defined rules (law,
Army Values)?
2) consequences - what does the greatest good for the greatest number of people?
3) virtues - what kind of person do I want to be (golden rule)?
Analyze possible decisions to ethical dilemmas where no right answer exists by this triangle
to understand and justify your decision
