*Step 2 – Issue a Warning
Understand the mission, commander’s intent, and scheme of
movement and maneuver (two levels up).
Complete the following as part of the initial intelligence
preparation of the battlefield—
Develop terrain products (mobility corridor and combined
obstacle overlay).
Evaluate the effects of terrain and weather on friendly
mobility and enemy countermobility and survivability
capabilities.
Assess enemy countermobility capabilities (manpower,
equipment, and materials), and template enemy obstacles
Step 3 – Make a Mission based on threat patterns, terrain, and time available.
Tentative Plan Analysis
Identify specified and implied mobility (breaching) tasks and
determine any obvious shortfalls in breaching assets engineer
forces and special equipment and initiate requests for
augmentation as early as possible.
Develop information requirements related to breaching (terrain
restrictions and mobility restraints, necessary or desired
obstacle information, enemy countermobility and survivability
capabilities), and recommend draft requirements as possible
commander’s critical information requirements.
Integrate information collection tasks and engineer or other
necessary specialized reconnaissance capabilities into the
information collection plan.
Identify the need to conduct a breach for each course of
action based on mobility corridors and template enemy
obstacles.
Allocate reduction assets (engineer units and breaching
COA equipment) based on the results of reverse planning.
Development Develop tasks that implement the breaching fundamentals
suppress, obscure, secure, reduce, and assault.
Determine breach organization requirements (support,
breach, assault force) and ensure that arrayed forces have
been adequately resourced.
