Snc's Fire Team: Case Study

Decent Essays
SNC gave a thorough 5 paragraph order that included a Direction of attack of the Squad on the objective, gave specific tasks that outlined specific fire team assignments, and Coordinating Instructions that included maneuvers for both movement to objective and upon contact. SNC was not confident as he delivered his 5 paragraph order with little or no eye contact as he was reading from his notes and maintained a monotone voice that was hard to hear. SNC had to be prompted to establish security in the Assembly Area. SNC froze upon enemy sniper contact and was unable to disseminate orders to his fire team to gain fire superiority as he was confused on the direction of enemy contact. SNC was prompted for forward movement, but failed to gain a positive

    Candidate Walker demonstrated an above standard level of proficiency in briefing the five paragraph order. SNC briefed her order by speaking in a clear confident tone and making eye contact with each fire team member. Even though SNC stated the word Execution during the right sequence she did not give Tasks and Scheme and Maneuver until the end. SNC got her team moving quickly in the direction of attack with good dispersion and control but veered off course significantly. SNC eventually got back on track with the assistance of the evaluator.…

    1… Candidate Merki briefed an operations order that did not include paragraphs 4 and 5. Additionally, SNC failed to develop and initial plan and repeated the FRAGO from higher rather than incorporating information from his base order or his own interpretation of the situation. As a result, SNC and his fire team were forced to develop an initial plan following the conclusion of his brief. At no time did Candidate Merki address security or operate within the tactical environment described by the FRAGO. SNC attempted to maintain the focus of his fire team, but failed to assert himself as the leader.…

    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…

    8. SNC provided the bare minimum information required for his five paragraph order. He lacked in confidence and when he was not sure of his azimuth he guessed a number and gave it to his fire team member responsible for the navigation. This decision would have gotten his fire team lost, but his fire team member corrected him. SNC was able to generate a plan and make decisions but they were not confident and well thought out decisions.…

    Candidate Shankling demonstrated an understanding of the five paragraph order. SNC initially struggled with his confidence during the brief, but was able to follow the format and make sense of the order. SNC developed a plan prior to giving his order and was able to assign tasks for security set up. SNC was able to maintain control of his fire team throughout the mission due to the position he had placed himself which allowed him to eventually recognize the need to re-position the team as needed. He hesitated for a brief second which showed that SNC might have been afraid to make a decision by asking for a volunteer to mount to plank and execute the obstacle.…

When his initial plan was clearly not working, he became fixated on continuing to attempt the same thing over and over and did not adjust his plan until it was too late to…

    Candidate Robbins provided a shoddy brief. It was evident he was trying to show a sense of urgency however, he ended up sacrificing essential detail and rushing though paragraphs. Additionally, SNC’s delivery was choppy containing several pauses due to him flipping back and forth through his notes. SNC’s mission was roughly put together and contained two tasks with no purpose (the second task was actually supposed to be the purpose; SNC just worded it poorly and called it an additional mission) and was stated only once. SNC’s scheme of maneuver was weak at best saying the team would “On order, maneuver in a wedge and close with the enemy and destroy them through fire and maneuver.”…
