Snc's Case Study

Improved Essays
SNC was nervous, used frequent pet words and took extended pauses while briefing his order. SNC’s enemy’s most likely course of action did not reflect the information which was briefed to him.

SNC did not control his fire team and, after subordinates ignored his signal to get further dispersion between them, stopped trying to correct his fire team formations. Though SNC located the enemy hide site first he failed to take

Not only does well calculated task organization increase the likelihood of success, but it greatly mitigates the risks associated with the mission. With better reconnaissance, command structure and logistical planning, this mission could have been carried out with less confusion and casualties while achieving the same outcome.…
