Army Planning


OR

How the Army makes Policy

In the beginning was The Plan
And The Plan was Good
And then came The Assumptions
And The Assumptions were without form
And thence The Plan became completely without substance

And Darkness was upon the faces of the Troops
And they spoke unto thier Squad Leaders, saying
"The Plan, it is a crock of shit and it stinketh."

And the Squad Leaders went unto thier Lieutenants and sayeth:
"The Plan, it is a pail of dung, and none can abide by the oder thereof."

And the Lieutenants went unto the Company Commanders and sayeth:
The Plan, it is a container of excrement and it smelleth strong, such that none may abide it's stench."

And the Company Commanders went unto the Battalion Commander and sayeth:
"The Plan, it is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength."

And the Battalion Commander went unto the Deputy Brigade Commander and sayeth:
"The Plan, it contains that which promotes plant growth and is very strong."

And the Deputy Brigade Commander went unto the Brigade Commander and sayeth unto him:
"The Plan, it promoteth growth and is very powerful."

And the Brigade Commander went unto the Division Commander himself and sayeth unto him:
"The Powerful new Plan will actively promote the growth and efficency of the Division and in this area particular."

And the Division Commander gazed in wonderment upon the New Plan and saw that it was good

And thus the Plan became Division Policy
