Large‐Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) 3 Practice Test

In MDMP, which step directly follows 'Receipt of Mission'?

Missions Analysis Mission Analysis COA Analysis (War-Gaming) COA Approval

Correct Answer:

Mission Analysis

Explanation:

After Receiving the Mission, you must understand what you’re being asked to do. Mission Analysis is the step that digs into the order to clarify tasks, constraints, end state, and the environment, and to identify information gaps and assumptions. This understanding is essential before you can create and evaluate different courses of action, so Mission Analysis sits first in the planning sequence. The alternative phrasing with “Missions Analysis” isn’t the standard term used in MDMP, and the other options represent steps that come later: COA Analysis (War-Gaming) and COA Approval happen after you’ve developed and compared courses of action, not immediately after receiving the mission.
