During which CBRN troop leading step are courses of action developed and decided upon?

The step where courses of action are developed and decided upon is the process of making a tentative plan. This stage involves considering the situation, available resources, and various potential strategies to achieve the mission objectives while addressing the specific circumstances of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) threats. During this step, leaders analyze the intelligence gathered and evaluate tactical options, weighing the pros and cons of each choice. This is crucial for ensuring that the chosen course of action is feasible and effective in a CBRN operational context. By developing a tentative plan, leaders lay the groundwork for the subsequent steps, where the chosen plan will be further refined, issued as an operations order, and detailed fully. As a result, this foundational step is essential for successful CBRN reconnaissance and response operations.
