This is an Australian Sergeant Major discussing decisive point and mission. I wasn't going to post this since I thought it might not be allowed, but then I found this same material posted publicly on Fort Benning's ibolic page, so it seems to be acceptable. However, if you wonder why my content usually skirts or obscures information like numbers of soldiers, land layouts, etc, it's because even when information is unclassified, if I (as an officer) amass US tactics and training in one place, I could be assisting people I don't want to assist.
Each fire team developed a plan of defense or a plan of attack and presented the plan to the whole company plus several cadre with extensive experience in tactics.
Anna: No. :) We have not dumped Gatorade on our commander's head after a successful battle. It's a good idea, but generally I err on the side of caution with people who carry large weapons. In sports you're safer because your coach is probably less fit than you and you can run. In the Army, a fair portion of your promotion potential is based upon your fitness, so your commander might be pretty buff.
