COA STATEMENT EXAMPLE: 1.

RESTATE MISSION: Task Force 2-25 IN ATKs in Zone (METHOD) from PL BMW(LD) to PL Dodge (LOA) NLT 180600Jul05 to DESTROY (TASK) the MIC vic Obj Houston IOT force the commitment of the BTG reserve into the Brigades sector. (PURPOSE) 2. Decisive Point: The Decisive Point of this opn is the destruction of the MIC defending vic Obj Houston. 3. Discuss your Deep OPNS: In this case you control TF scouts only for planning. TF Scouts along with a section of engineers initially move from TAA Dog to PL BMW to conduct route reconnaissance for the TF along lanes RED, Green, and Black. Subsequently TF Scouts (+) conduct area recon from PL BMW to PL Dodge IOT confirm enemy COA and disposition of situational/tactical obstacles. The endstate for recon is screening the TF along PL Dodge. 4. Discuss Maneuver to include the DP - Generally by Phase. This attack is divided into three phases: Phase 1 AA to LD. The TF moves from the AA to AP Hero and conducts POL with 1-90 Armagosan to PL BMW along lane Green and Black. Phase II the TF attack to Breach and Destroy the MIC vic Obj Houston. TM1, A Mech Heavy TM, Initial Supporting effort (SE1) Attacks to establish SBF1 IOT enable TM 2 (SE2) to Breach the obstacles vic PL Chevy. TM 2, a balanced TM, (SE2) attacks to Breach IOT allow TM3 (ME) to destroy the eastern two MIPs. TM3, A Mech Heavy TM, Attacks to Destroy the eastern two MIPs IOT force the commitment of the BTG reserve into the Brigades sector. Phase III ends with TM 3 Consolidated and reorganizing east of PL Jetta, TM 1 Consolidated and reorganizing west of PL Jetta, and TM 2 improving the lanes at the breach site and the TF prepared to pass forward TF 1-26 vic PL Dodge. 5. Fires: A BRIEF discussion of Concept for Fires both DS and organic. TF 2-25 initially utilizes fires to Limit the enemy defenses and disrupt his reconnaissance efforts. Subsequently, the TF fires linear target AB1004 to Limit enemy observation of TF Breaching operations. TF mortars disrupt targets of opportunity and reinforce the effects of DS artillery. CAS is planned for potential HVTs but not expected. 6. Reserves: If you have none: State you accept risk. The TF maintains a Mech Infantry platoon as a reserve to destroy paramilitary forces attempting to disrupt our SOM, defeat level II and III threats, and reinforce a CO/TM if a HPT can be destroyed.

7 Rear: TOC, CTCP, any others. The TOC will move to PAA1 during Phase I, and subsequently to PL Chevy upon destruction of the MIC. CTCP initially follows the TF to PL BMW and establishes support from there until the BTG reserve is destroyed. Priority of support is TM2, TM3, TM1, scouts, mortars, and reserve . 8 Endstate: The endstate of this operation has the MIC destroyed, two company teams consolidated and reorganized lanes cleared and 1-26 passed forward continuing the attack. 9. When you write Par 3, only minor changes (remove mission statement is one) are required if any, and then in SOM you spell out order of march on routes, specifics of movement and triggers, etal. Here is how your statement should look (A Way!)
