Marine Corp Decision Making Process
any decision is better than no decision
Marine Corp Philosophy of Command
subordinate commanders must make decisions on their own initiative, based on their understanding of their senior’s intent, rather than passing information up the chain of command and waiting for the decision to be passed down
Marine Corp Mission Tactics/Orders
tactic of assigning a subordinate mission without specifying how the mission must be accomplished. We leave the manner of accomplishing the mission to the subordinate, thereby allowing him the freedom he deems necessary based on the situation
Marine Corp Commander’s Intent
There are two parts to a mission: the task to be accomplished and the intent. Understanding our commander’s intent allows us to exercise initiative in harmony with the commander’s desires
METT-T
o M (mission): Who, What, Where, Why, How?
o E (enemy): Capabilities? Anticipate his moves
o T (terrain/weather): How will they affect?
- T (Troops and fire support availability)

o T (time available)
