There were no available key development jobs, so he would spend the next six to eight months in the division G3 shop. He did not mind the time on division staff. He thought it would be a good opportunity to prepare for an S3 or XO job when one opened in the subordinate brigades. The division was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in January and that would give him four months to get prepared on the staff.…

    Candidate Hills provided a thorough five paragraph order. Candidate Hills briefed with confidence, placing great emphasis on mission accomplishment, and briefing tasking statements with good detail and purpose, ensuring each member understood their purpose. However, Candidate Hills somehow became disoriented during the execution of movement to contact; he began walking in a 45 degree angle from his direction of attack and had to be guided back onto the correct azimuth by his fire team on at least two occasions before taking a casualty in the scenario.

    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.…
