What is METT-TC?

We view the phrase “METT-TC dependent” as a copout. It is usually said by people who do not take the time to explain what METT-TC is or, quite frankly, they’ve just heard someone else say it so now they say it too.

The military is full of acronyms and it can be pretty daunting, so we wrote a brief introduction and overview that will likely serve as a refresher if you are already familiar with it or as an introduction to those of you that have seen it before but have never received an explanation.

We’d like this article to start a discussion on METT-TC so please feel free to respond to this newsletter with any questions or comments you have.
