Which Troop Leading Procedure (TLP) step comes third in order?

• A. Receive the mission
• B. Make a tentative plan
• C. Start movement
• D. Issue the warning order

Answer: (B)

After receiving the mission, the leader quickly gets the team aligned by issuing a warning order to alert subordinates and start parallel preparation. The third step is making a tentative plan, where you outline a rough concept of operations, identify initial tasks, and sketch a rough timeline. This step gives you a direction to coordinate resources and priorities without waiting for a final, detailed plan, enabling you to begin shaping the operation while you gather more information. Movement and other concrete actions come after this initial planning, as you refine and finalize the plan based on further input and reconnaissance.
