Delay
When analyzing the enemny's capabilities and limitations you should ask these questions: -
CORRECT ANSWER What can the enemy do?
How will the enemy use each available element of combat power?
When analyzing the enemny's capabilities and limitations you analyze - CORRECT ANSWER
the enemy's ability or inability to conduct various operations against your unit under any
reasonably foreseeable situation.
The estimate of the situation of terrain and weather must - CORRECT ANSWER always be
conducted from the friendly and enemy perspectives.
Terrain Analysis analyzes - CORRECT ANSWER the connection between the terrain and
tactics while considering the military aspects of terrain.
These aspects are identified in the acronym OCOKA. - CORRECT ANSWER Terrain Analysis
OCOKA - CORRECT ANSWER Observation and Fields of Fire
Cover and Concealment
Obstacles
Key Terrain
Avenues of Approach
Observation and Fields of Fire-COKA - CORRECT ANSWER Observation is the ability to see
friendly and enemy forces and key aspects of the terrain to judge strength, prevent surprise, and
respond to threats.
Field of fire is an area with a direct line of sight that weapons may cover/fire upon effectively
from a given position.
,O-Cover and Concealment-OKA - CORRECT ANSWER Cover is protection against enemy
fire, both direct and from shelling.
Concealment is protection from enemy observation and surveillance, including features that
protect both horizontally and vertically.
OC-Obstacles-KA - CORRECT ANSWER Obstacles are natural or manmade terrain features
that prevent, restrict, divert, or delay military movement.
OCO-Key Terrain-A - CORRECT ANSWER Key terrain is any ground that must be controlled
to achieve military success.
OCOK-Avenues of Approach - CORRECT ANSWER Avenue of approach is any relatively
unobstructed ground route that leads to an objective or key terrain.
Weather Analysis is when - CORRECT ANSWER The leader determines how the weather will
affect visibility, mobility, and survivability of friendly and enemy units by considering the
military aspects of weather.
For visibility - CORRECT ANSWER The leader identifies conclusions about visibility factors
such as light data (begin morning nautical twilight [BMNT], sunrise [SR], sunset [SS], end
evening nautical twilight [EENT], moonrise [MR], moonset [MS], and percentage of
illumination), fog, and smog, and about battlefield obscurants such as smoke and dust.
Winds of sufficient speed can - CORRECT ANSWER reduce the combat effectiveness of a
force as the result of blowing dust, smoke, sand, or precipitation. Windblown sand, dust, rain, or
snow can reduce the effectiveness of radar and other communication systems. Strong winds can
also limit aviation operations.
Precipitation affects - CORRECT ANSWER soil trafficability, visibility, and the functioning of
many electro-optical systems.
Cloud Cover affects - CORRECT ANSWER ground operations by limiting illumination and the
solar heating of targets. Heavy cloud cover can degrade many target acquisition systems,
infrared-guided munitions, and general aviation operations.
Extremes of temperature and humidity reduce - CORRECT ANSWER personnel and equipment
capabilities and may require the use of special shelter or equipment.
Civil considerations (human terrain) include - CORRECT ANSWER the influences of man-
made infrastructure; civilian institutions; and the attitudes and activities of civilian leaders,
populations, and organizations within an AO, with regard to the conduct of military operations.
Areas - CORRECT ANSWER Key civilian areas are localities or aspects of the terrain within an
AO that have significance to the local populace.
,The Troop Leading Steps are - CORRECT ANSWER Begin planning
Arrange for reconnaissance and coordination
Make reconnaissance and coordination
Complete the planning
Issue the order
Supervise
BAMCIS overview - CORRECT ANSWER The troop leading steps are meant to aid leaders in
making tactically sound decisions, formulating plans, coherently communicating those plans, and
Turing those decisions into action.
The receipt of a mission - CORRECT ANSWER Triggers the troop leading steps
Warning order is - CORRECT ANSWER An abbreviated set of instructions to inform of an
impending action
The purpose of the estimate of the situation is - CORRECT ANSWER to collect and analyze
relevant information for developing, within the time limits and available information, the most
effective solution to a problem.
estimate of the situation - CORRECT ANSWER normally used in solving tactical problems, it is
applicable to other military activities. It's as thorough as time and circumstances permit.
estimate of the situation - CORRECT ANSWER are revised continuously as factors affecting
the operation change, as new facts are recognized, as assumptions are replaced by facts or
rendered invalid, or as changes to the mission are received or indicated.
estimate of the situation - CORRECT ANSWER Detailed analysis conducted before mission
execution will increase the speed and accuracy of decisions as the situation changes at the point
of friction.
provides a logical sequence for analyzing all relevant factors - CORRECT ANSWER METT-T
analysis
METT-T - CORRECT ANSWER Mission
Enemy
Terrain and Weather
Troops and Fire Support
Time, Space and Logistics
The first step in the estimate is - CORRECT ANSWER mission analysis
mission analysis is - CORRECT ANSWER the means for the unit leader to gain an
understanding of the mission
, When doing task analysis - CORRECT ANSWER The unit leader must identify and understand
all that is required for the successful accomplishment of the mission. This includes tasks received
in the unit's task statement and coordinating instructions from the higher commander's operations
order.
Limitations - CORRECT ANSWER These are restrictions on the freedom of action of the
friendly force; these prohibit the commander from doing something specific. Tactical control
measures, rules of engagement (ROE), and the statements, "Be prepared to...," "Not earlier
than...," "On order...," are some examples of limitations.

Enemy anaysis questions - CORRECT ANSWER What is the enemy trying to accomplish?
How will the enemy use each available element of combat power?

in the area, and the unit's intelligence section.
The information used to analyze the enemy situation includes - CORRECT ANSWER
composition, disposition, and strength
capabilities and limitations
SALUTE - CORRECT ANSWER Size
Activity
Location
Unit
Time
Equiptment
SALTUE is used when - CORRECT ANSWER developing and organizing composistion,
disposition, and strength (analyzing the enemy situation)

and capabilities can support operations.
Capabilities can refer to - CORRECT ANSWER the ability of local authorities—those of the
