And now it's METT-TC, for "civilian considerations" And will probably become METT-TC-PE for "political" and "environment" added in there.  Or maybe that would be ME2TT-TC. Makes me feel old, since when I first started it was pretty much "M"... |
is the ACLU writing that shit now? |

Fordguy, if your joke statement was about some of the follow-on comments: No, METT-TC is actually the current doctrine for mission analysis. I believe it was changed in the 2001 rewrite of FM 3-0. And yes, I would hope the P and E additions are indeed a joke. Sadly, though, not much would surprise me as far as the nice-ifying of our military doctrine. Um, and if you just meant the thread in general, then, uh, nevermind... |
Yup. I was waiting for the wife to get ready, and was bored. Mission succesful. Limited enemy contact encountered, mostly blue hairs and their Fudd SO's. Funds spent, $577.00 for rations, $24.50 for nutritional yet tasteless IHOP burgers. No KIA / WIA / MIA. All weapons, personel and eqiupment acconted for. Next time, eat at FuddRuckers. End of Statement. |
Needs a Commnaders intent statement too - thats all Joe is gonna remember anyways

20+ yrs in the .mil, I am good to go on METT-TC...I may have had my panties in a wad but I didn't expect to see the OP in SF...it's more of a GD kind of post...but again, maybe I need to pull the stick out of my pooper...haha. |
OK, I'll try to make lemonade... you don't need Cdr. intent in a warning order...the only components of a warning order are 1. Situation 2. Mission 3. General instructions a. special teams/task org b. Common uniform/equipment c. special weapons/ammo, equipment d. Tentative time schedule 4. special instructions. Your WLC instructor(s) would have you in the front leaning rest for YOUR version! And M is for mission specified tasks implied tasks essential tasks restated mission constraints Enemy type location organization identification strength morale capabilities likely courses of action intentions Terrain and weather, etc. And you guys forgot OCOKA or the new version....anyone know? |
Well of course not! We should all know where it fits into SMESC. But then again you arent going to go run a mission on a WARNO either....you would wait for the OPORD and (most likely) subsequent FRAGO that are issued before crossing the wire  I just had to work in the Cdr. intent line as an excuse to quote the rule of LGOP's again  The whole METT-TC thing makes sense to me depending on what level of "considerations" we are talking about. |
|
Heh, that took me back...I'll be honest I had to cheat to get the complete answer. Its been about 10+ years since I wrote an OPORD (BNOC was probably about the last time before I got out) RIMSRCIS Receive the mission Issue a warning order Make a tentative plan Start necessary movement Reconnoiter Complete the plan Issue the complete order Supervise |
fixed it for you...
