How to Complete Battle Plans 100 points

Battle Plan Scenarios are Critical thinking activities deigned to have you ‘solve’ a military problem.

You and your group will be tasked with a problem in which you will Outline your plan, Write out a Step by Step Plan, and Detail your Map.

Part I: The Battle Plan Outline 40 Points

Complete the Typed Outline addressing each of the Nine Principles of War with Depth

1st Focus on your Objective & Sub objectives while planning out how you will Mass your Troops, Using Maneuver, & Surprise your ability

Focus on the 4 main principals

first.

This part of the process should

take up a majority of your time.

Your Code Name Should begin to formulate based on the Type of

Plan and Scenario

WWII Battle Plan Sample

The End of ‘Welgie Day’

Forever!!!

Sample: Mass Your Troops

We will organize our forces into 3 groups code named…AlphaBravoCharlieEach Group will consist of 7-10 people

Sample: ObjectiveGoal is to Destroy Mr.

Welgoss’s podium while capturing his prized collection of ‘Presidential Trading Cards’ valued at a total of 62 cents.Yes he’s pretty

cheap!

Sample: Offensive

Since I have never seen Mr. Welgoss leave his room in 13

years we unfortunately will have to go on the Offensive in

order to achieve our objectives.

Usually this would be a huge risk but since Mr. Welgoss is as violent as Gandhi I think we’re okay.

Sample: ManeuverAlpha Unit will form up at the door and…Knock..Hard!!Beta Unit already having Neutralized Conrad’s Room will prepare charges to blow through Welgie’s WallCharlie Unitmassed on the 4th floor will prepare to repel through his windows

Sample Outline 40 Points

Last 5 Principals of War should only be

Answered Once the first 4 have been Addressed

with Depth

Now Assess your Plan by ensuring that all 5

remaining principals are addressed and that your plan has minimal flaws.

Sample: Unity of Command

Using cell phones and group texting we will stay organized.

Team leaders will coordinate plan on the loud knock at 15:00

(3:00 if you failed Boot Camp)

Sample: Security Using desktops as shields,

Goalie equipment (thanks Harris) as amour, and books for propaganda we will not be touched

In addition, Welgie may be fast on a basketball court but have you ever seen him move fast in his room?

Me neither!

Sample: Simplicity

We need to K.I.S.S. It or…..

It’s so simple that even Conrad & Knight the Varsity Rugby and Hockey Coaches could even understand it

Sample: Surprise

When we knock on his door, blow a hole in his wall, and repel from the 4th floor …

Welgie will be Surprised!!

Sample: Economy of Force

Your parents paid their school taxes already. Right???

We have Unlimited budget to pay your Cell Bill, Provide Goalie Equipment, Cut up Desktops, and Repelling Equipment

Sweet!!

The Map: 20ptsMake sure you draw in your

forces, their maneuvers, and your targets with Color!
