  TROOP LEADING PROCEDURES
  B-48. Troop leading procedures extend the military decision-making process to the small-unit level. The
  military decision-making process and troop leading procedures are similar but not identical. They are both
  linked by the basic Army problem-solving process. Commanders with a coordinating staff use the military
  decision-making process as their primary planning process. Company-level and smaller units lack formal
  staffs and use troop leading procedures to plan and prepare for operations. This places the responsibility for
  planning primarily on the commander or small-unit leader (FM 6-0).
  B-49. Troop leading procedures are an eight-step process:
  * Step 1—receive the mission.
  * Step 2—issue a warning order
  * Step 3—make a tentative plan.
  * Step 4—initiate movement.
  * Step 5—conduct reconnaissance.
  * Step 6—complete the plan.
  * Step 7—issue the order.
  * Step 8—supervise and refine.
  B-50. The first three steps of troop leading procedures normally occur in order. The order of the remaining
  steps depends on the tactical situation. Depending on the situation, some steps may require repeating. The
  final step, supervise and refine, takes place throughout the process.
  B-51. The steps of troop leading procedures largely parallel the higher headquarters military decision-making
  process. A higher headquarters warning order or operation order generally triggers company and below
  planning using troop leading procedures. Figure B-3 on page B-21 illustrates the parallels between the
  military decision-making process and troop leading procedures. Refer to FM 6-0 for more detailed
  information about troop leading procedures.
