Q

What are the three wargaming methods? How would you describe them?

A

Box - Little time available, analyze events within a small area.

Belt - Lengthy. Enhances synchronization by analyzing all forces that affect specific events.

Avenue-in-depth - Focuses on one AoA beginning with the main effort. Wargames the battle in sequence from the AA to the OBJ.

17
Q

What is IPB? Is it solely reserved for the staff?

A

Four Steps:

  • Define the OE
  • Describe the environmental effects on the operations
  • Evaluate the threat
  • Determine Enemy COA

No, it is meant to be accomplished at all levels and rather continuously.

18
Q

Describe the differences between CCIR, PIR, FFIR, and EEFI.

A

CCIR = PIR + FFIR

PIR - What you need to know about the enemy

FFIR - what you need to know about your own force

EEFI - not related to CCIR. What the enemy cannot find out about your force as it will affect your ability to accomplish the mission.

19
Q

What are the CDRs Activities? How does the CDR drive this process?
