TRANSITION CHECKLIST

(J3 OPERATIONS/C2)

General Guidelines

- Battlefield transition conditions achieved (bottom linefactors for transition conditions should "paint" battlefielddisposition for a smooth transition).

- Minimize disruptions to tactical disposition of forces.Minimize friendly vulnerabilities.

- Outgoing force is responsible for tactical emergenciesuntil incoming force assumes control.

- Key characteristics of handover process are:

- Rapid as possible, but thorough, coordination andexecution must be present.

- All battlefield operating systems must besynchronized/reviewed.

- Deception/security is essential.

- Enemy disposition/probable COAs next 24 hours iscritical consideration.

- Final check of enemy/friendly dispositions (air, ground,sea), C3, and planned activities for next 12 hours is anessential point just prior to handover.

- Planning, coordination, and execution of transition arenot complete until all units are fully aware of transition(communicated and acknowledged via multiple means).
