JFC FINAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
(RATED A+)
2.1. Differentiate between the major mission command activities of the operations
process. - answers- PLAN: ART and SCIENCE of understanding a situation,
envisioning a desired future, lay out
effects ways of bringing that future about.
- PREPARE: activities performed by units and soldiers to improver their ability to
execute an operation.
- EXECUTE: putting a PLAN INTO ACTION by applying combat power to
accomplish the mission.
- ASSESS: continuous determination of the PROGRESS toward ACCOMPLISHING
A TASK, creating and EFFECT,
or achieving an OBJECTIVE.
2.2. Determine the purpose of warning orders, operation orders, and fragmentary
orders. - answers- WARNORD: preliminary notice of actions or orders to follow;
allows max time to plan and
prepare; details what must be done now and tasks to follow. (1/3, 2/3 plan)
- OPORD: direct unit operations ISO the mission, (SMEACS) conveys CDR intent,
Concept of operation, and SOM.
- FRAGORD: timely changes of existing orders to subordinates while providing
notification to higher.
2.3. Determine the responsibilities of key members of battalion and brigade staffs, to
include S-3, S-2, fire support officer, air liaison officer, brigade aviation element and
air defense airspace management officers. - answersXO: XO at BDE/BN; CoS at
DIV or higher, CDRs principal assistant.
S3: coordination staff officer, sync all maneuver and maneuver support operations,
M&MS.
S2:coord. staff officer, information collection to include ISR.
FSO / DFSCOORD: Special staff officer; plans coordinates and executes all fires.
ALO: special staff officer; advises the CDR and staff on aerospace assets;
coordinates tactical air support missions with the FSO; managers the TACP.
, BAE/ADAM: airspace control function- airspace integrator / senior ADA officer in the
command.
2.4. Determine the seven steps of the military decision-making process. - answers1.
Receipt of mission: Alerts all participants of the pending planning requirements.
2. Mission Analysis: assessment of the situation that enables unites to better see
themselves and the enemy. (what, when, where, why) (initial ASR/AMR requests
sent up)
3. COA Development: (the how) generate options; broad concept, 2-3 COAs
(suitable, feasible, acceptable, distinguishable, complete); COA sketch and
statement.
4. COA Analysis (war-game): identify which COA accomplished the mission; (avenue
in depth, box, belt
methods); sketch note; sync matrix.
5. COA Comparison: an objective process to evaluate COAs independently, COA
Decision brief.
6. COA Approval: commander selects the COA to best accomplish the mission.
7. Orders Production, Dissemination, and Transition: OPORD published.
2.5. Determine the information contained in each of the five paragraphs of an
operation order. - answers- Situation: AOI, AO, enemy and friendly forces,
interagency and NGOs, civil considerations.
- Mission: (critical elements= who, what (task), when, where and why)
- Execution: includes scheme of fires to include air operations.
- Sustainment: concept of support (before, during, after)
- Command and Signal: location of commander; location of command posts; signal
support.
* Annex D:Fires
Appendix 5: Air Support (CAS tasks and distribution)
2.1. Interpret the definition of intelligence preparation of the battlefield. - answers-
IPB is the systematic process of analyzing the mission variables (METT-TC) of
enemy, terrain, weather, and civil
considerations in an area of interest to determine their effect on operations.
2.2. Distinguish between the four steps of the intelligence preparation of the
battlefield process. - answers- DEFINE THE OE: usually comes from higher; ID
environment specific features of the environment that may influence COAs; Areas of
interest and influence.
