    Candidate Spencer Case Summary

    Candidate Spencer took the time to develop a plan and write his order prior to briefing. SNC briefed an extremely detailed five paragraph order, including an exhaustive Execution paragraph, and accurate information from higher’s warning order and fragmentary order.

The tasks he gave to his fire team also lacked clarity and gave the impression they had not been thought through. During the execution, SNC used phrases that displayed lack of assertiveness such as "we should…
