To depart from this dating thread - I have started drafting staff work for the campaign using the Combat Estimate methodology (when I was serving it was called an "situation appreciation") which consists of seven questions as follows:
What is the enemy doing and why? - intelligence estimate of enemy commanders' intention, enemy forces, style of fighting etc.
What have I been told to do and why? - what is Suetonius' "Commander's Intention (CI)"
What actions/effects do I want to have on the enemy?
Where can I best accomplish each action/effect? - ground assessment
What resources do I need to accomplish each action/effect? - forces available, locations, logistics, recce, force protection
When and where do these actions take place in relation to each other? - outline possible courses of action, force multipliers
What control measures do I need to impose? Movements, timings, RV locations, Assembly Areas, couriers
So should I present it here once finished or in a new thread?
