SNC gave a detailed brief that outlined a precise plan that was coherent and directed towards mission accomplishment. SNC contradicted a well thought out plan of action with a monotone voice and his use of filler words, such as, uh and um, coupled with a lack of passion.

SNC changed his mind and directed the

Candidate Davis delivered his 5 paragraph order covering most of the key points associated with the order. SNC’s orientation was confusing; SNC briefed that the current location was where the cache was located, then proceeded to state that the fire team needed to advance to the second set of grid points to complete the objective. This information is confusing and is proof that the fire team leader did not fully comprehend the order briefed to him. SNC stuttered consistently, displaying his uncertainty of the information that he was relaying. SNC improperly stated his TCM’s and informed his team they would utilize a column formation from the “assault to attack” and a column from the “attack to assault”. Upon reaching the objective, the fire

Candidate Satterwhite ensured he addressed all paragraphs in the 5-paragraph order, however he took no time prior to the delivery of his brief to develop an initial plan. He was unable to provide his subordinates with an executable plan and was forced to develop a plan as he went along. This left his fire team questioning SNC and resulting in both lost time and lost momentum as he attempted to figure out how to accomplish the mission. SNC did not identify potential points of friction in which to place himself, instead sending two fire team members through the tunnel while he remained on the platform. This diminished his ability to control the fire team as he relied on the fire team members to communicate the situation to him and slowing

Candidate Farmer briefed all required portions of the five paragraph order but did so in a very drawn out manner with multiple pauses throughout. His initial plan was sufficient to begin execution, but only his side began to take action immediately. He was unable to identify that the one pole was not long enough to reach the middle beam and only made adjustments after a fire team member pointed it out. At this point, SNC changed his initial plan and started giving direction, but his tasks were unclear and his fire team members struggled to accomplish them.

SNC displayed he was somewhat confident with his brief by his calm demeanor using a conversational tone during his brief. SNC stated there is no need for security prior to conducting his brief.

Once he gave direction his fire team began to execute effectively until they ran into friction points.

Candidate Dechane briefed a complete order despite being visibly nervous and shaky. His summary version of the mission statement was incorrect and he attempted to use the orientation to brief his mission. He realized that he still needed to brief the rest of his order and covered all the items, but out of order. His lack of confidence during the order was quickly shed during execution where he utilized mission type orders. His lack of an initial plan caused a delay in execution while he developed a plan. Once he finally formulated a plan, Candidate Dechane became the obvious leader of his team. He received suggestions that he would effectively vet and use as necessary to adjust his plan on the go. Candidate Dechane's confidence during the

Candidate Martinez began the SULE I evaluation with a standard five paragraph order. Although it was a standard brief, SNC failed to give an adequate mission and execution paragraphs. The statements were disjointed and confusing and were briefed without confidence.

Candidate Martinez was given the map and reminded that it was part of the mission and not to forget it. SNC started the execution without the map, ultimately failing the mission. During execution Candidate had little regard for the tactical situation as demonstrated with little to no communication for formations at danger areas or dispersion.
