What the commander owns

x

Clean instructional illustration of an MDMP worksheet producing three outputs labeled “Facts,” “Options,” and “Draft Order,” with two empty locked fields labeled “Purpose” and “Acceptable Risk” under a commander’s hand, showing that the process cannot decide those command questions.

MDMP does not command

MDMP can collect facts, compare options, and build an order. But it cannot decide what the mission is really trying to achieve or how much danger is acceptable to get there.
