Field notes
Mission setup uses a five-paragraph order, with situation details organized around SALUTE and DRAW-D. Map tools include control measures such as CP, OBJ, SBF, and ASLT POS; the instructions say selected units can be assigned movement steps through checkpoints or routes. The page also describes orders being acknowledged by radio after step-off, and a debrief that grades the plan alongside mission results, casualties, and elapsed time.
