Ssgt Moore then explains that the Mission statement is LITERALLY the easiest paragraph to write. Why? Because the mission statement is taken WORD FOR WORD from YOUR tasking statement that your higher unit gave you. All you have to do is make it first person and say it twice.
[Tasks
2nd SQUAD, you are the main effort. On order, you will depart from the attack position and destroy enemy forces located at the abandoned house in order to clear Kensington Heartland of enemy forces.
1st SQUAD, you are supporting effort 1. On order, you will depart from the attack position and occupy Needle Park in order to clear Kensington Heartland of enemy forces.
3rd SQUAD, you are supporting effort 2. On order, you will depart from the attack position and occupy the gulch in order to clear Kensington Heartland of enemy forces.]
You know that your are 1sr Squad, so you just take 1st Squad's tasking statement. You write:
MISSION
2nd Squad, we are the main effort. On order, we will depart from the attack position and destroy enemy forces located at the abandoned house in order to clear Kensington Heartland of enemy forces. I say again, 2nd Squad, we are the main effort. On order, we will depart from the attack position and destroy enemy forces located at the abandoned house in order to clear Kensington Heartland of enemy forces.
