  SCHEME OF PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT
  A-34. The scheme of protection describes how protection tasks support the commander’s intent and concept
  of operations. It uses the commander’s guidance to establish the priorities of support to units for each phase
  of the operation. A commander’s initial protection guidance may include protection priorities, civil
  considerations, protection task considerations, potential protection decisive points, high-risk considerations,
  and prudent risk. Figure A-4 provides an example of a scheme of protection.
