These cards modify time constraints and urgency. Apply during TLP Step 1 (Receive Mission) or as updates during planning. Modify the timeline in the OPORD or provide as an urgent update.
Apply During: TLP Step 1
Inject Text: “Urgent Update: REAPER convoy is moving faster than expected. Timeline accelerated. SP time moved up by 30 minutes. Reduce TLP time accordingly.”
Effect: Candidate has less time for planning, must prioritize tasks, and work under increased pressure.
Apply During: TLP Step 2 or Step 3
Inject Text: “Timeline Update: SP delayed by 45 minutes due to [weather/logistics/coordination]. Mission timeline (completion time) remains unchanged. Adjust plan to account for reduced execution time.”
Effect: Candidate must adjust plan to account for delayed start but same end time, requiring faster execution.
Apply During: TLP Step 1
Inject Text: “Urgent: Immediate execution required. Minimal TLP time available. Mission must be executed within 30 minutes. Prioritize essential planning only.”
Effect: Candidate must work under extreme time pressure with minimal planning time.
Apply During: TLP Step 1
Inject Text: “Timeline Update: Mission timeline extended. You have additional time for detailed planning and preparation. Use extra time to refine plan and conduct additional reconnaissance.”
Effect: Candidate has more time but must demonstrate effective use of additional planning time.
Apply During: TLP Step 1 or Step 2
Inject Text: “Timeline Update: Multiple time-sensitive events must be coordinated. Mission must be synchronized with [other unit operation/air support window/logistics window]. Timing is critical.”
Effect: Candidate must coordinate multiple timelines and synchronization requirements.
Apply During: TLP Step 2 or Step 3
Inject Text: “Urgent: Window of opportunity is closing. REAPER will move/change position within [X] hours. Mission must be executed before window closes or opportunity is lost.”
Effect: Candidate must work under time pressure with a hard deadline for mission execution.
Apply During: TLP Step 1 or Step 2
Inject Text: “Weather Update: Favorable weather conditions will only last for [X] hours. After that, weather will deteriorate significantly, affecting mission execution. Plan to execute within weather window.”
Effect: Candidate must plan to execute within a specific weather window.
Apply During: TLP Step 1
Inject Text: “Timeline Update: This mission must be completed on time to enable follow-on operations. [Other unit] is dependent on your success and timeline. Delay will affect larger operation.”
Effect: Candidate understands mission is part of larger operation, increasing importance of timeline.
Apply During: TLP Step 1 or Step 2
Inject Text: “Intelligence Update: REAPER is aware of friendly timeline and may adjust their operations accordingly. Enemy may attempt to preempt friendly actions.”
Effect: Candidate must consider that enemy may act based on friendly timeline, requiring adjustment to plan.
Apply During: TLP Step 1
Inject Text: “Timeline Update: Different elements have different timelines. [Element 1] must execute at [time], [Element 2] at [different time]. Coordinate multiple execution times.”
Effect: Candidate must plan for staggered execution times and coordinate multiple elements.
