Step 5—Rehearse.
Rehearsals are critical steps in the eight-step training
model and in TLPs. The four types of rehearsals described
in Appendix I of FM 5-0 are—
■■ Backbrief.
■■ Battle drill/standing operating procedure rehearsal.
■■ Combined arms rehearsal.
■■ Support rehearsal.
Rehearsal techniques are limited only by leader creativity
and available resources, but FM 7-0 describes six common
methods:
■■ Network.
■■ Map.
■■ Sketch map.
■■ Terrain model.
■■ Reduced force.
■■ Full-dress.
Leaders select the type and technique of rehearsals and
are most effective when they combine and integrate them
into their timeline.
