SLIDE 9: DEFINITIONS OF PRIORITY

c. Explain missions are the same as the FA.
d. Priorities of Protection.
(1) Criticality - How essential is the element?
(2) Vulnerability - How well can the element survive on the battlefield?
(3) Recuperability - How fast can the element recover from damage?
(4) Threat - What is the chance the enemy will attack an element?

SLIDE 10: MIX, MASS, MOBILITY INTEGRATION f. EXPLAIN EACH PART SO STUDENTS UNDERSTAND.
(1) Mass - Sufficient assets to defend sector.
(2) Mix - Balance of assets to offset limitations of one with the capabilities of another.
(3) Mobility - Ensure units are as mobile as the elements they protect.
(4) Integration - Close coordination with maneuver elements to ensure unity of effort.

SLIDE 11: ADA WARNINGS g. EXPLAIN RED, YELLOW, WHITE
