Detachment 4, 2nd Bn. 24th Marines Reunion

Situation:  On 23 – 25 September, 2016, a mission, if you decide to accept these orders, will be conducted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  There seems to be a need for camaraderie and this 5 Paragraph Order will explain how we will adapt, improvise and overcome any obstacles, misgivings and or “Goat Rodeos” to accomplish this task! 

          METT-TC – (Mission, Enemy, Troops, Terrain, Time Available and Civilian Considerations) 

·       Civilian Considerations - a high priority here, an early recon informs us that there are mostly “friendlies” in this area no enemies observed as of this writing.   

          BAMCIS:

* Begin the Planning- in process and ongoing…

* Arrange Recon-mission accomplished by Joe and Barb Brooks. 

* Make Recon – also accomplished by Joe and Barb, some plans still TBD. 

* Complete Planning – Wil Holihan, Craig Hullinger, Larry Anderson and Joe Brooks. 

* Issue Order- order issued on the Hullinger Blog under DET 4…

* Supervise – why with all these senior Officer’s and SNCO’s, supervise who…?
