Slide 10 of 35
Notes:
- Not every class tactical manual and techniques & procedures will be 100% accurate with respect to your ship’s systems and capabilities. You can address ship-unique mods, and how these mods change your employment of systems, in your battle orders.
- Platform specific tailoring is YOUR battle organization; from communications to watch organization.
- How much latitude are you planning to give your TAO when granting weapons release authority, what specific watch related guidance do you want to give them... do it in you battle orders.
- Engagement criteria or pre-planned responses are an excellent way of providing a vehicle to ready weapons for engagement when transitioning rapidly from a non-hostile environment to combat.
- Quite often overlooked in the preparation of the ship for battle is the configuration of the engineering plant and combat system support systems. Think of the ship as a system, an integrated fighting machine.
- Restricted maneuvering in and of itself may not address battle conditions very well - consider structuring a battle maneuvering philosophy.
