APPENDIX
B
Mission Analysis Checklist/Matrix
Prior to the mission analysis briefing, staff officers must know the status of subordinate units, limitations and capabilities of weapon systems, and understand the mission and intent of higher headquarters. The staff officer must bring with him to the mission analysis: technical knowledge, estimates, and historical data, as required. This appendix provides guidelines for the staff officer to consider as he prepares for the mission analysis brief. Once again, this list is not all-inclusive. This checklist is designed to assist the staff officer in collecting the relevant facts needed to make the appropriate assumptions through the planning process. It is generic in nature and should be reviewed and revised to meet your own needs. Additional considerations for each specific mission should be developed by each BOS representative.
