In which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do you take into account the following:

- Additions to and deletions from current task organizations.
 - Command and Support relationships.
 - Current capabilities and limitations of all units.
 - Consider relationships among specified, implied and essential tasks; between them and available assets.

What is known as a restriction placed on the command by a higher command; a contraint dictates an action or inaction, thus restricting the freedom of action of a subordinate commander?

What is a statement of truth or a statement thought to be true at the time, is METT-TC focused?

What is a supposition on the current situation or a presupposition on the future course of events, assumed to be true in the absence of positive proof?

Facts and Assumptions is found within what substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis?

What are the two types of risks?

Which risk is concerned with hazards that exist because of the presence of either the enemy or an adversary?

Which risk includes all operational risk considerations other than tactical risk. It includes risks to the friendly force. It also includes risks posed to civilians by an operation, as well as an operation's impact on the environment?

Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR) and Friendly Force Information Requirements (FFIR) are fascilitate what Information Requirement?

What two information requirements does the commander need to know in a specific situation to make a particular decision in a timely manner?

Which type of CCIR are decision the commander needs to make to focus planning?

Which type of CCIR is information the commander needs in order to make decisions during preparation and execution?

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do we assess recon and surveillance asset reporting and adjust recon and surveillance activities?

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis does the G-3 (S-3) lead the staff through ISR integration to task available reconnaissance and surveillance assets to satisfy IRs identified in the initial ISR synchronization matrix?

 - The ISR tasking matrix
 - The ISR overlay
 - The ISR scheme of support
 - Issue order

are used to develop what type of plan?

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do we:

 - Refine the initial plan for the use of available time.
 - Compare the time needed to accomplish task to the higher HQ timeline.
 - Compare the timeline to the assumed enemy timeline (initial IPB).

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do commanders and their units coordinate what they do, say, and portray; and deal with information theme and messages?

What is a unifying or dominant idea or image that expresses the purpose for military action; is tied to objectives, lines of effort, and end state conditions; and are overarching and apply to the capabilities of public affairs, MISO, and leader and Soldier engagements?

What is a verbal, written, or electronic communications that supports an information theme focused on a specific actor or the public and in support of a specific action (task)?

What is transmitted to those actors whose perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors matter to the success of an operation?

What is an issue or obstacle that makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal or objective?

What is a statement of the problem to be solved?

In which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis is a collective staffs' effort to analyze and identify the right problem?

What is a short sentence or paragraph that describes the organizations essential task(s) and purpos, and is a clear statement of the action to be taken and the reason for doing so? Also contains the elements of who, what, where, when, and why?

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do we inform the commander of the results of the staff's analysis of the situation and helps the commander understand, visualize, and describe the operation?

During which substep of Step 2: Mission Analysis do commanders summarize their visualization in their initial commander' intent?

The initial commander's intent links the __________ _______ with conditions that define the _______ ___ _____.

During which step of Step 2: Mission Analysis do we outline operational approach, outline specific COA focus for the staff, Reflects how the commander sees the operation unfolding, and may be written or oral?

"Evaluation criteria are factors the commander and staff will later use to measure the relative effectiveness and efficiency of one COA relative to other COAs" is done during wich substep of step 2: Mission Analysis?

In substep 18: Develop COA Evaluation Criteria, who initially determines each proposed criterion with weights based on the assessment of its relative importance and the commander's guidance?

What are the two types of criteria?
