LESSON MANUSCRIPT

1. TITLE: TROOP LEADING PROCEDURE

2. INTRODUCTION:

A pleasant morning/afternoon to all of you. The subject that we are
going to tackle is Troop Leading Procedure, but before we proceed, allow me
to introduce myself.

Your instructor for this morning/afternoon is C.A.T. officer graduate,
and now taking BS Accountancy and a ROTC offficer in the University of Santo
Tomas Golden Corps of Cadets. An officer that have undertaken MS-1.

LESSON OBJECTIVE:

Discuss and explain the following steps of Troop Leading Procedure
Procedure

3. BODY:
Troop Leading Procedures

a.) process a leader goes through to prepare his unit to accomplish a tactical
mission
b.) begins when he is alerted for a mission and starts again when he receives a
change or a new mission.

Warning Order (WARNO)

An Order that alerts the troops to an upcoming offensive or defensive mission and
contains enough information to begin preparing as soon as possible

Operation Order (OPORD)

An Order that gives the troops the details they need to conduct an offensive or
defensive operation an OPORD usually includes five paragraphs; situations,
mission, execution, service support and command and signal

Fragmentary Order (FRAGO)

An abbreviated form of an OPORD it can be verbal, written or digital

A. Importance of TLP

You use the procedures every day. You change your flat tire with a procedure:
You loosen the lug nuts, you jack up the car, you remove the nuts, you remove the
flat, you put on the spare, and you replace the nuts, you lower the car and you
tighten the nuts.

Q? What happens when you violate the procedure? What happens when you jack up
the car before you have loosened the lug nuts?

ANS: The wheel spins and you cant loosen the lug nuts. It doesnt work.

The army has procedures for leading troops. The Army calls them not
surprisingly troop leading procedure (TLP). When you follow them, you increase the
likelihood of accomplishing your mission and minimizing casualties. If you do not
follow them, you will endanger your soldiers and your mission.

The leader who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before
the battle is fought. The leader who loses the battle makes but few calculations
beforehand. Sun Tzu

B. Steps in Troop Leading Procedures

RECEIVE THE MISSION

A mission may be received either in a written or oral form; warning
order, operation (OPORD), or fragmentary order (FRAGO). At times, a leader may
deduce a change in mission based on a change in the situation.

a. Once an upcoming mission is identified, actions to begin preparing the unit are
conducted. The CO conducts an initial METTT analysis to determine the
requirements for his warning order.

b. With the information available, the commander sets his time schedule by
identifying the actions that must be done (time-critical tasks) to prepare his unit
for the operation. These preparatory actions are identified by a preliminary
consideration of the information on the mission, enemy, terrain, and own
troops. An initial reconnaissance is conducted to allow the leader to more fully
understand the time requirements for the mission. He then develops his time
schedule by starting at mission time and working backward to the time it is
now (reverse planning). The mission time is normally the most critical time in
the operation.

c. The commander must ensure that all subordinate echelons have sufficient time
for their own planning needs. A general rule of thumb for leaders at all levels
is to use no more than one-third of the available time for planning and issuance
of the OPORD. This will leave the rest of the available time for the subordinate
leaders to use for the planning and preparation.


ISSUE A WARNING ORDER

Do not wait for more information. Issue the best warning order
possible with the information at hand and update it as needed with additional
warning orders. The warning order allows units prepare for combat as soon as
possible after being alerted of an upcoming mission. This normally involves a
number of standard actions that should be addressed by SOP that must be done to
prepare for the mission. The specific contents for each warning order will vary,
based upon the unique tactical situation.

MAKE A TENTATIVE PLAN

Tentative plans are the basis for the Operation Order (OPORD). The
leader uses the commanders estimate of the situation to analyze METT-Information,
develop and analyze a course of action (COA), compares COA and makes decision
that produces a tentative plan.

The company commander makes a tentative plan based on the following:

M - Mission
E - Enemy
T - Terrain and weather
T - Troops
T - Time
SEQUENCE IN STUDYING ENEMY SITUATION

S - Size S - Size
A - Activity E - Equipment
L - Location L - Location
U - Unit D - Disposition
T - Time O - Organization
E - Equipment M - Morale/Movement

How can the TERRAIN and WEATHER be used best? To get an answer to this
question, he considers the following and its effects to personnel, equipment, visibility
and trafficability:

K - Key terrain is any feature that affords marked advantage to the force that seizes
or retrieves it. A commander considers key terrain and the weather in
selection of positions in the defense.

O - Observation and field of fire dictate where platoon and weapon crews are
positioned to cover likely enemy avenues of approach.

C - Cover and concealment influence the choice of routes and positions. In the
offense, a commander picks positions that provide the best cover and
concealment.


O - Obstacles also influence the choice of routes in the offense and the choice of
positions in the defense. In the offense, the commander may by-pass
obstacles that allow movement. In the defense, he positions troops and
weapons to take advantage of obstacles that allow or stop the enemy. He
reinforces existing obstacles, if there are no natural obstacles, with
improvised or expedient means.

A - Avenues approach is considered in conjunction with the direction of attack in
the offense and the assignment of position and sectors of fire in the defense.
A commander considers how the enemy avenues of approach or withdrawal
can affect friendly operations.

These affect the selection of position, routes, formation and degree of preparation.

START NECESSARY MOVEMENT

This can be done by having a subordinate leader move the unit to an
assembly area or attack position. The instructions for this movement can be given in
the warning order.
RECONNOITER

Reconnaissance is a continuous process during the TLP. This is done to
gather information on the actual area of operation to validate the plan and make
adjustments as necessary.

COMPLETE THE PLAN

The tentative plan is adjusted based on the results of the reconnaissance. He
may have to change COAs if the situation is not what he expected. In this case, one
of the previously analyzed and discarded COAs may be adjusted to quickly finalize
his new plan. Coordination continues with all supporting agencies, higher
headquarters and adjacent units. When issued, the plan becomes an OPORD.

ISSUE THE ORDER

Preferably issue the order while viewing the avenues of approach/objective
and make maximum use of visual aids (sketches and terrain models) to enhance the
presentation of the order

SUPERVISE

The best plan may fail it is not supervised correctly. Brief back, rehearsals,
inspections and continuous coordination of plans must be used to supervise and
refine TLP.


C. Factors for consideration

Steps may be combined, compressed
Time devoted to each step varies
Each should be considered to ensure understanding,
preparation and execution of operation

CONCLUSION:

The Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) are your checklist for preparing your soldiers
for tactical missions. You begin to implement them as soon as you receive the alert
to a new mission. The amount of time you spend on each step depends largely on
the amount of time available to you. In many cases, you will not have enough time to
go nothing out of your preparations. Remember the one-third, two-thirds rule and
give your subordinates as much time as possible Throughout the TLP, be aware of
Murphys Law. Check and double check. It will be your attention to detail, your
careful planning, and your leadership of your soldiers that will decide the success
and failure of the mission.

SUMMARY:

For the One hour and forty five minutes (1:45) we have discuss the definitions
of Troop Leading Procedures, the importance of TLP in combat operations, and what
are the 8 basic steps in troop leading procedure, and what are those factor to be
consider in TLP.

Is there any question of clarification? If theres none, thats all for this
morning/afternoon. Prepare for evaluation.
