General

Quantify resources to tasks

Only include those that require the commitment of resources

Do you have sufficient resources to complete your mission?

If not, ask higher for additional assets. Be exact with the reason why!

Do you need to phase your operation during the offense or prioritize the tasks/work in the defence?
