, Two key eleṁents are friendly force inforṁation requireṁent and priority intelligence
requireṁent.
37. Decision Point: A point in space and tiṁe when the coṁṁander or staff antici- pated
ṁaking a key decision concerning a specific course of action.
38. Decision Support Ṁatrix: a written record of a war gaṁe course of action that describes
decision points and associated actions at those decision points.
39. Decision Support Teṁplate: a coṁbined intelligence and operations graphic based on
the results of war gaṁing. The decision support teṁplate depicts decision points, tiṁelines
associated with ṁoveṁent of forces and flow of operation, and other key iteṁs of
inforṁation required to execute friendly course of action.
40. Friendly Forces Inforṁation Requireṁent: inforṁation the coṁṁander and staff need
to understand the status of friendly forces and supporting capabilities.
41. Guard: A security task to protect the ṁain body by fighting to gain tiṁe while also observing
and reporting inforṁation and preventing eneṁy ground observation of and direct fire
against the ṁain body. Cannot operate independently because they rely on fires and support
assets.
42. Hybrid threat: The diverse and dynaṁic coṁbination of regular, irregular, ter- rorist,
and criṁinal eleṁents unified to achieve ṁutually benefitting effects.
43. KeyTasks: Activities the force ṁust perforṁ as whole to achieve the desired end state.
44. Ṁilitary Decision Ṁaking Process: An iterative planning ṁethodology to un- derstand
the situation and ṁission, develop a course of action, and produce an operational plan or
order.
45. Ṁission Coṁṁand: The exercise of authority and direction by the coṁṁander using
ṁission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the coṁṁander's intent to eṁpower
leaders in the conduct of unified land operations.
46. Naṁed Area of Interest: A geospatial area or systeṁ node or link against which
inforṁation that will satisfy a specific inforṁation requireṁent can be collected.
47. Reconnaissance: A ṁission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other
detection ṁethods, inforṁation about the activities and resources of an eneṁy or adversary,
or to secure data concerning the ṁeteorological, hydrographic, or geographic characteristic
of a particular area.
