Candidate Clark's Five Paragraphs: Case Study

Decent Essays
Candidate Clark while giving the brief didn't give the title of the paragraphs, but did give the information within each paragraph. SNC emphasized the coordinating instruction portion of the five paragraphs as to what was off limits and the penalties. SNC for his initial plan tried to get the ammo to the other side, by just using the planks. He made changes to that initial plan when it didn't seem to be working and realized he would need someone in the fire team to take the ammo to the other side. SNC decided to do the obstacle himself without the help of the rest of his fire team, while another fire team member took charge giving him directions. Another candidate while he was doing the obstacle asked him what did he want him to do next.

    Candidate Quarta stated each paragraph of the 5-paragraph order, however his delivery was poor and lacked enthusiasm and assertion. SNC read directly from his notepad and made no effort to make eye contact with his fire team members despite them looking at him. SNC stumbled through the execution paragraph, telling one of his fire team members to "disregard" his previous tasking statement. This caused confusion amongst his fire team and delayed the execution of the problem, as his fire team still had questions following the brief. SNC's lethargic delivery of his plan was evident on his fire team as they displayed no sense of urgency in their movement towards recovering the casualty.…

    SNC took four minutes of his allotted ten minutes developing his brief; SNC’s fire team did not step off to execute until after ten minutes had elapsed. SNC’s Situation paragraph contained detailed information about higher and adjacent units that was not briefed to him. SNC briefed a scheme of maneuver that was based off tactical control measures that he was unable to explain after he was asked what they meant. SNC’s tasking statements did nothing other than assign fire team billets to subordinates; SNC proceeded to brief later on that tactical control measures were not applicable. SNC briefed that the squad leader was with his fire team, which was not accurate.…

    Candidate Sinclair, hereby referred to as SNC, confidently briefed a clear and logical order, however completely omitted the Admin and Logistics and Command and Signal paragraphs. At no time during the brief did SNC address the paragraph title or the information which should have been contained in those paragraphs. SNC issued a poor, partially-developed plan. SNC employed two subordinates as security and mandated these candidates provide security reports every 40 seconds; these subordinates were within 10 meters of SNC. SNC sent SNC’s remaining subordinate to continually physically check on the other two subordinates providing security.…

    Candidate Rudd stumbled through his entire brief and quickly lost composure while briefing in a quiet and nervous tone of voice. SNC did not brief all of the Orientation paragraph, made up or stole details from previous scenarios that could potentially drive the mission, and his Execution paragraph lacked relevant, actionable information and tasking statements. Once his fire team received contact, SNC froze and completely ignored the need for an ADDRAC, haphazardly trying to buddy rush in an unspecified direction. Upon receiving contact, SNC was unable to process the fact that one of his team members was a casualty, and he remained unable to make a decision while receiving light small arms fire. SNC bounced back and forth between closing with…

    2…Candidate Salazar briefed a thorough five paragraph order containing tasks specific to each team member. Although the content of the brief was present, SNC lacked command presence and confidence as displayed by his jumbled and unclear speech.

Another candidate suggested trying to cross the bridge, only to be greeted with another stall in the action when no one could figure out how to cross without contacting the contaminated areas. SNC then decided to switch out the security in order to utilize his longer reach.…

    Candidate Lockard issued an articulate and detailed five paragraph order, spoke in a clear and authoritative tone, and utilized the obstacle to orient his team and emphasize his points. SNC briefed a complete Enemy situation and maintained a tactical mindset by defining the enemy’s most likely course of action. SNC’s mission encompassed a task and a purpose; however, his tasking statements, while clear and detailed, were not briefed with the 5W’s. SNC failed to develop a cohesive plan prior to briefing his order, requiring him to develop a plan as he approached the obstacle. During execution of the mission, SNC was clearly in charge, issuing strong, clear orders to his team, displaying confidence and communication.…

Society does not realize that the past is what makes the decisions of the presents which eventually led to the events that unfold in the future.

Furthermore, history is full of wars and more than often wars led to a reconstruction era for either side involved and that is the universal rule. Therefore, Greece was not exceptions to this rule, having been completely destroyed economically and politically due to the effect of World War II which lasted six grueling years from 1839-1845.…
