Candidate Hecht Case Summary

Candidate Hecht delivered an incomplete brief. SNC was nervous and unsure of the information he was relaying to his team. This uncertainty was displayed through him constantly repeating himself stumbling or stuttering and briefing the order out of sequence. SNC’s orientation simply stated that his team was located on MCB Quantico, Brown Field. SCN briefed his friendly situation in conjunction with the beginning of his mission statement. SNC failed to brief the entirety of the coordinating instructions. His brief as a whole lacked the structure of a five paragraph order. SNC lacked confidence and due to the lack of information, his order did not completely make sense. Prior to execution, SNC did not establish a plan which made it difficult for
the team to adjust when met with friction points. SNC ensured security was posted, however, due to lack of communication, the security detail was not vigilant. The security detail’s focus was directed on the movements of the fire team even though the fire team leader stressed time was of the essence. The fire team’s time was still managed poorly, ultimately displaying a lack of sense of urgency. SNC would not deviate from his course of action even though it was ineffective.
