Candidate Baca's Plan

Candidate Baca briefed a complete operations order but with a sub-standard level of confidence. He stumbled over his words and failed to articulate his mission statement in a coherent manner. He did include detailed tasks to his subordinates for his initial plan, but then micromanaged their movements during execution. Candidate Baca spent time telling his fire team members where to place hands and feet during their attempted crossing of the obstacle and he wasted significant time deciding on a course of action next.
