Chapter 2 SECTION III – PLANNING 2-36. Detailed planning at all levels helps ensure mission success and unit survival. The squadron and above use the military decision-making process (MDMP) to develop plans. The troop and platoons use troop-leading procedures (TLP). (See FM 5.0 for more details on TLP.) Planning time for any unit is usually short, especially for a reconnaissance troop, and commanders must provide sufficient time for their subordinates. The general guidance is the “1/3–2/3” rule: commanders take one-third of the allocated planning time and give their subordinates two-thirds. As a guideline, the length of time available determines whether the unit conducts deliberate or hasty planning as follows: Deliberate planning (24 to 48 hours available for planning). Hasty planning (less than 24 hours available for planning). PARALLEL PLANNING AND SQUADRON WARNING ORDERS 2-37. The nature of reconnaissance operations requires the quick dissemination of orders, mutual trust between commanders and subordinates, and disciplined initiative. Reconnaissance units at all levels plan and operate with incomplete information. Additionally, reconnaissance leaders must be decisive, make plans quickly, pass whatever information is available to subordinates, and be responsive to change. 2-38. The type, amount, and timeliness of the information passed from squadron to troop headquarters directly impact the DRT leader’s TLP. Parallel planning is critical. Reconnaissance units conducting reconnaissance pull cannot wait for complete orders from the squadron. Figure 2-1 illustrates the parallel sequences of the MDMP of the squadron with the TLP of the DRT. The figure indicates parallel planning conducted by the BCT, squadron, and troop. The solid arrows show where WARNOs or OPORDs and course of actions (COAs) trigger the initiation of TLP within a subordinate unit. Figure 2-1.

Command and Control 2-39. Ideally, the squadron headquarters issues at least three WARNOs to the subordinate troops when conducting the MDMP. The troop commander should know what is contained in each WARNO, because it will be the basis for his WARNOs and his TLP. The three WARNOs are issued: WARNO No. 1: Upon receipt of mission. WARNO No. 2: Completion of mission analysis. WARNO No. 3: When the commander approves a COA. 2-40. However, the number of WARNOs is not fixed. Warning orders serve a function in planning similar to that of FRAGOs during execution. Commanders may issue a WARNO whenever they need to disseminate additional planning information or initiate necessary preparatory action, such as movement or reconnaissance. 2-41. The first WARNO (WARNO No. 1) normally contains minimal information. It alerts the troop commander that a new mission is pending. Warning order No. 1 normally contains the following information: The type of operation. The general location of the operation. The initial operational time line. Any movements to initiate. Any collaborative planning sessions directed by the commander. Reconnaissance and security plan and graphics. Initial information requirements or CCIR. 2-42. Warning order No. 2 is issued at the end of mission analysis and contains essential information for planning and directives to initiate movements and reconnaissance if reconnaissance pull is required by the IBCT. (See Chapter 3, Reconnaissance Operations, for discussion of reconnaissance pull and push.) Typically it includes: The approved unit mission statement. The commander’s intent. Task organization changes. The unit AO (sketch, overlay, or some other description). The CCIR and essential elements of friendly information (EEFI). Risk guidance. Reconnaissance instructions. Reconnaissance planning guidance. Initial movement instructions. Security operations. Military deception guidance. Mobility, countermobility, and survivability (M/CM/S) guidance. Specific priorities. The updated operational time line. Guidance on collaborative events and rehearsals. 2-43. Warning order No. 3 is issued after COA approval and normally contains: Mission. Commander’s intent. Updated CCIR and EEFI. Reconnaissance pull or reconnaissance push tasks (see Chapter 3). Concept of operations. Principal tasks assigned to subordinate units. Preparation and rehearsal instructions not included in SOPs. Final time line for the operations. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 2-9
