These chapters spoke out to me loud and clear one main thing, Confusion. To begin with i felt that the concept of who was in command or control was not noticeable. While reading the section there were times when subordinates were not following orders. Rather they would choose to goof off in the back of the formation or start laughing. There were also times when the battalion would split up. An important thing to do when your battalion splits up is to make sure every one knows where they need to be. Just like in ROTC they needed to make sure to hold each other accountable. For Lab or pt, we all check to make sure our team members or battle buddy know exactly when and where they need to be and for what. This was not as enforced while the battalion split up. Another issue that the Battalion had was objectives. While planning a mission may seem pretty easy, the execution is at least 10 times harder. On a piece of paper, one situation happens, but in the real life there are so many more situations that could happen while trying to complete a mission. The lack of communication on what needed to exactly be done with specific over done details ended up hurting the Battalion.
