MSCI 4800

Operational Planning, Independent Study

Provides students with customized coursework specific to a doctrinal area of focus within the United States Army. As a future Army Officer, Cadets are required to develop and refine their planning abilities; specifically, they must possess the capabilities to define mission parameters, forecast logistical requirements, anticipate contingencies, effectively delegate sub-tasks appropriately, and then supervise every phase of a given mission from planning, to execution, to completion. Many of the intricacies of this process are unique to various functional areas throughout the United States Army. Students are assigned theoretical mission planning exercises based on historic vignettes, which are specific to the branch or functional area for which they will be assigned (or have the greatest interest in), upon commissioning as an Officer in the United States Army.
