Step 4—Issue an order for the training.
Leaders issue orders to establish clear tasks, conditions,
and standards. This includes a concept of operations that
describes how training objectives will be met, a concept of
sustainment that lists the resources required and the individuals
tasked to lead different parts of the training, and
a timeline. Although verbal orders can be issued, written
orders are more effective. Written orders become a reference
for all and can be quickly disseminated and reviewed. Verbal
orders require leaders to constantly repeat information,
which becomes less clear with dissemination. Writing down
the details of a plan avoids this problem.
