RLC FOUNDATION MILITARY PLANNING EVENT COLCHESTER – WEDNESDAY 25th SEPTEMBER 2024
The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Chapman and officers and soldiers of 13 Air Assault Support Regiment RLC hosted a Military Planning event at Roman Camp, Merville Barracks, Colchester on Wednesday 25 September 2024. This military planning event showcased military operational logistics and exposed our corporate members to the military decision-making process.
The event was conducted outside, under a tented simulated tactical area which brought a sense of realism to the unfolding battlefield scenario. Under the mentorship of professional military logistic officer’s the event concentrated on how the military makes decisions and subsequently executes the orders process during the planning stages of a military operation.
Corporate members received an appreciation of why mission analysis prior to military engagement is so important; it shows how the military makes sense of the environment in which they are operating , how the communication chain works and how it creates missions and tasks and how it manages inherent risks and uncertainties. We were treated to a Nepalese curry, which was excellent and appreciated by all.
