MILITARY DECISIONMAKING PROCESS TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES
(MDMP TTPs)
Section I. INTRODUCTION
13-1. GENERAL
This chapter provides various tactics, techniques, and procedures that will help facilitate the problem-solving process; it will not give canned solutions. Our ability to maneuver rapidly on the temporal plain will allow us to get within the enemy’s decision cycle and impact his operations. The tactics, techniques, and procedures outlined here allow that.
This chapter provides tactics, techniques, and procedures that can be used by commanders and staffs in executing elements of the MDMP. The procedures and techniques outlined in this chapter are meant to augment those found in FM 101-5 and other existing manuals, not supersede them.
Various members of the faculty developed these procedures and they have proven to be successful in facilitating the MDMP. Some of the examples used are tailored to a specific military situation or problem, but they can be modified to meet the existing situation.
