· COAs are alternatives which might solve the problem. State where the COAs come from<br />
(commander, research, etc.).<br />
· Use a short title for your COA, followed by a definition of what each short title means, if<br />
necessary. Use a short title that is related to the definition (e.g., GM, Ford, Caterpillar, etc.). Stay<br />
away from using COA1, COA2, COA3, etc.<br />
· Logically sequence your COAs. A technique is to list the COAs from best to least preferred. Other<br />
alternatives are to list the COAs alphabetically, in the order in which discovered, or numerically<br />
(e.g., 1st Bde, 2d Bde, 3d Bde).<br />
· Keep the number of COAs to a reasonable amount. If there are too many, use the technique found<br />
on the discussion slide to reduce the COAs.<br />
· If the substance of the COA is not clear from the short title name and a brief definition, you may<br />
have to use a slide for each COA that includes a more detailed description.<br />
· Transition to the screening criteria slide.<br />
