CHAPLAIN'S ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION
References: Maps, charts, and other relevant documents.
1. MISSION. The purpose of the estimate normally is to determine
the best course of action (COA) to execute the RS mission. The
mission statement is derived from the commander's intent and
mission analysis. It states the task(s) to be accomplished and the
purpose to be achieved. The mission normally does not state all tasks.
Therefore, the UMT must study the mission and determine what tasks
it must perform to accomplish the RS mission.
2. THE SITUATION AND COURSES OF ACTION.
a. Considerations affecting the possible COAs.
(1) Operations to be supported. The UMT considers the nature
of the operations to be supported, the strength and disposition of the
UMTs, unusual support requirements, and other factors pertaining to
the UMT that will likely affect the scope and size of the RS mission.
