Commander Start Here

Use this page as a navigation hub. Pick the section you actually need, then cross-check it against the TC, training plan, unit standing orders, and live ground conditions before you say anything out loud.

Commander reference

Use the right commander section instead of scrolling one giant page

Who this helps

Junior commanders and trainers who want a clean route into the brief template or warm-up reference without treating either page like doctrine.

What this solves

The real failure mode is not forgetting a phrase. It is briefing the wrong flow, wrong medical coverage, wrong warm-up, or wrong weather logic because nobody checked the live plan.

Use This Properly​

  • This section is a memory aid, not an authority.
  • Do not blindly follow any page in this section if the TC, training plan, unit standing orders, safety appointment, medical coverage plan, or live ground conditions say otherwise.
  • Replace every placeholder before the conduct starts.
  • If the live brief, equipment state, weather code, medical arrangement, or participant status changes, the live arrangement wins.

Start With The Right Section​

How To Read These Pages​

  • If a block says Read Aloud, that is the part people can use like a script.
  • If a block says Commander Notes, do not read that part out loud. That part is for checks, substitutions, and live decisions before you speak.
  • If a block says Replace Before Start, fill in the placeholders first. Do not improvise halfway through the brief.

What Stays More Important Than This Section​

  • The TC and training plan.
  • Unit standing orders and current safety instructions.
  • The actual medical coverage and AED locations for the ground you are using.
  • The live WBGT / CAT / PSI situation and any shelter logic in force.
  • The actual participant condition in front of you.

Use this hub to reduce missed checks, not to replace judgement. If the plan says something else, follow the plan.
