The focus of this Army techniques publication is to discuss how CAB leaders execute battalion-level tasks from planning through preparation and execution. The principles for planning operations are based on ADP 5-0, FM 6-0, and the military decision-making process. FM 3-90-1 discusses offense and defense, while ADP 3-07 covers stability operations tasks, and FM 3-98 details reconnaissance and security operations. This Army techniques publication discusses some alternative planning processes in a time-constrained environment, but focuses more on identifying tasks leaders should plan and prepare while conducting unified land operations in varied operational environments.
