Case Study Of Snc's Fire Team

Decent Essays
Candidate Hoyer gave in depth direction on what he wanted security to do and while briefing he had the fire team maintain 360 degrees of security. SNC forgot to brief the last two paragraphs of the fire paragraph order. Throughout the execution part of the mission SNC had security check in every 60 seconds and had every member repeat that the area was secure. SNC's initial plan was to use the shorter plank to get from the whiteboard to the bridge which worked throughout the problem. SNC didn't rely on suggestion from other fire team members and he continued to give directions to keep his fire team moving towards mission accomplishment. SNC positioned himself in the middle of the problem, where he can positively control his fire team.

    Candidate Bills delivered a very thorough and in depth five paragraph order. SNC was very diligent in ensuring that all information and additional information was passed to the fire team, at one point causing SNC to stumble over his thought process, and pause for a length of time to recoup his thoughts before moving on. This visibly flustered SNC. SNC lacked a sense of urgency by taking up a substantial amount of time to deliver the order. Upon completing the brief SNC took more time to square himself away failing to give any guidance to the fire team resulting in zero productivity.…

    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…
