In the WTF sequence, which action corresponds to the letter A?

• A. Begin Planning
• B. Arrange for Reconnaissance and Coordination
• C. Make Reconnaissance
• D. Complete Planning

Answer: (B)

Arranging for reconnaissance and coordination. In this sequence, you set up the reconnaissance effort and establish how units will work together before you dive into planning or actually conducting recon. Securing the right assets, identifying information needs, and coordinating with higher headquarters and adjacent units creates the necessary flow and shared understanding to gather accurate data and develop a sound plan. Once those elements are in place, you can proceed with making the reconnaissance, starting planning, or completing planning with confidence.
