It's an Enemy Course Of Action or ENCOA. The purpose of ENCOA's is to guess what the enemy is most likely to do given the situation and their doctrine. At higher command levels such as Battalion, but sometimes for company, you'd develop multiple ENCOA's and then make COA's of your own to figure out what you are going to do. or maybe there are a few most probable ENCOA's and so you develop COA's for those handful (2-3) ENCOA's and then bump out reconnaissance to see which one is the most likely so you can dedicate your forces to one specific COA while potentially keeping the other COA's on the backburner for contingency reasons. The ENCOA is not a "here's exactly what the enemy will do" type thing. It's a reasonable guestimate so that you can appropriately array your own forces to counter them and destroy them.
@RXM HERSEY Absolutely correct.... in Vietnam bozos were having this kind of meeting... err.. the enemy is here... we think he may do this ... we do that... err... Several minutes later enemy sappers take out their comfortable little room... coms facilities ... and other c and c nexus... Yup... having a plan is real important... So.what happened in Afghanistan. .. provide details of how the plan went wrong and account details of your bank to repay the zillion pounds wasted in this fiasco along with total demoralisation of all contributing forces.. plus import of pedos to the west... Just how do you expect anyone to have any confidence in these chaps again... Really if you had 10s of billions in funding per year you would expect in this day and age and absolute top line combat capacity .... not people willing to provide 20 million quid aircraft as targets for goat herders ....
@@janwitts2688 so you think people should go into battle with no plans, making it up as they go along and not thinking about what the enemy might do? Sounds like you'd make a great general.
I just signed a 8-year contract in the Marines. I will definitely deploy these tactics into my training.
it's people like you that instructors love to chew out. Have fun
Hey dude, how's it going?
Great example. Thanks!
Yes sir.
Ram the enemies with artillery Sir!
Ram it so far up their asshole that when the Ground Pounders get on the objective, there will be nothing left, but a gaping hole.
Good luck army we are counting on you
Dont see that patch very often. I still wear mine
Goodness
#Onaneedtoknowbasis!
Why is these available?
Looking now, I'm thinking the same thing.
This is for West Point classes.... Not a real brief.
They have been planing for civil unreast for years. ..its now coming. 2 months. Good luck
What are orders?
It’s hard to hear
not bad
You live in a bug zapper.
I’m sorry but the sleeves look sloppy and is not a good look for the army. Looks unprofessional.
So hows the tank/s gonna die??
Because you aint stopping these things..
Couldn't pay full attention isn't my main language..
Tanks are very easy to stop.
Creepy watching this....training for civilian chaos
I hope the enemy do exactly what you expect....
Did they learn nothing from Vietnam...

This is just practice and not a real mission, they are giving a fake army with fake actions and fake response from the fake enemy, its just a scenario
the only thing more stupid than expecting a plan to work is not habing a plan.
