Which TLPs relate to preparation?

• A. Conduct Reconnaissance, Complete the Plan, Issue the Order, Supervise and Refine
• B. Plan, Brief, Deploy, Recover
• C. Gather Intel, Develop Course of Action, Issue the Plan, Train
• D. Assess Risk, Prepare Equipment, Brief Crew, Execute

Answer: (A)

Troop-leading procedures focus on actions that prepare a unit for an operation. The parts that relate to preparation are those that gather the necessary information, finalize the plan, communicate it, and keep adjustments ready before and as you begin executing. Conducting reconnaissance provides the information needed to understand the area, enemy, and obstacles, which is essential for making a solid plan. Completing the plan ensures all details are worked out, gaps are filled, and everyone knows their tasks. Issuing the order communicates the plan to the team so everyone moves with a common purpose. Supervising and refining keeps the preparation active—monitoring the plan’s feasibility and making adjustments as conditions change before and during the early stages of execution. The other options mix in elements of deployment, training, or actual execution, which extend beyond preparation.
