What should the SCAR consider when passing attack briefs?

• A. Weather and terrain
• B. Strikers weapons loadout and capabilities
• C. Time to target
• D. ROZ boundaries

Answer: (B)

The essential thing to convey when passing attack briefs is the strikers’ weapons loadout and capabilities. Knowing exactly what weapons are in play, their ranges, effective lethality, fire modes, and any special capabilities lets the receiving unit gauge threat levels, determine appropriate suppression and timing, and plan deconfliction and support. In other words, the briefer's primary job is to provide a clear picture of what the attackers can do on the battlefield. Weather, terrain, time to target, and ROZ boundaries are important factors in overall mission planning, but they support how the attackers will be engaged rather than defining the attackers themselves.
