USADSA Tactics Practice Exam

The Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs) are a fundamental process used by military leaders to effectively plan and execute missions. Each step in this process plays a critical role in ensuring that troops are well-prepared and that operations run smoothly. The steps typically include: receiving the mission, issuing a warning order, making a tentative plan, conducting reconnaissance (or reconnoitering), and completing the plan.

Conducting a final briefing, while important in its own right for ensuring that all team members are informed and understand their roles, is not formally listed as one of the steps in the TLPs. The TLPs emphasize initial planning and preparation, leading up to actions like reconnaissance and tentative planning rather than final briefings at the end of the process.

This distinction clarifies why the correct answer highlights Conducting a Final Briefing as the step that is NOT part of the Troop Leading Procedures. Final briefings might occur as part of the overall execution of a mission, but they are not a step within the structured TLPs that guide the preparation phase prior to action.
