00:00.040 --> 00:02.780
Hey , welcome to three minute doctrine .

00:02.790 --> 00:04.846
I'm Captain Jerry Garner of combat .

00:04.846 --> 00:07.012
Field studies . Mission command is the

00:07.012 --> 00:09.290
army's approach to command and control .

00:09.290 --> 00:11.234
That empowers subordinate decision

00:11.234 --> 00:13.179
making and decentralized execution

00:13.179 --> 00:15.820
appropriate to the situation . ADP 6-0

00:15.830 --> 00:17.941
mission Command . Command and control

00:17.941 --> 00:20.850
of army forces never tell people how to

00:20.850 --> 00:22.906
do things , tell them what to do and

00:22.906 --> 00:24.794
they will surprise you with their

00:24.794 --> 00:27.017
ingenuity . General George S . Patton ,

00:27.017 --> 00:29.650
JR . Seven principles of mission

00:29.650 --> 00:33.050
command . Our confidence , mutual trust ,

00:33.060 --> 00:35.120
shared understanding , Commander's

00:35.120 --> 00:37.930
intent . Mission orders , discipline ,

00:37.930 --> 00:40.090
initiative and risk , acceptance ,

00:40.120 --> 00:43.040
shared understanding . We're speaking

00:43.040 --> 00:45.040
the same language here . Shared

00:45.040 --> 00:47.207
understanding the situation along with

00:47.207 --> 00:49.318
the flow of information to the lowest

00:49.318 --> 00:51.262
possible level forms the basis for

00:51.262 --> 00:53.207
unity of effort and subordinates .

00:53.207 --> 00:55.750
Initiative , recognized this guy .

00:55.760 --> 00:57.790
General George . Armstrong Custer ,

00:57.800 --> 01:00.710
civil war hero , cavalier of the plains

01:00.720 --> 01:02.887
and unfortunately for him and a lot of

01:02.887 --> 01:05.109
his men really bad at getting his point

01:05.109 --> 01:07.530
across known for his last stand at the

01:07.530 --> 01:09.586
battle of little Bighorn against the

01:09.586 --> 01:11.710
Sioux and Cheyenne tribes . He failed

01:11.710 --> 01:13.821
to ensure his subordinates understood

01:13.821 --> 01:15.988
his plan and their role in it . He did

01:15.988 --> 01:18.154
not get along well with several of his

01:18.154 --> 01:20.154
officers , including Major Reno and

01:20.154 --> 01:23.040
especially Captain Ben Teen . To make

01:23.040 --> 01:24.873
matters worse , it was these two

01:24.873 --> 01:26.984
subordinates that were crucial to his

01:26.984 --> 01:28.700
plan , succeeding they didn't

01:28.700 --> 01:30.811
understand his intent and when things

01:30.811 --> 01:32.922
changed due to the friction of combat

01:32.922 --> 01:34.867
and the fog of war Custer's plan .

01:34.867 --> 01:38.080
Whatever it was fell apart , Custer did

01:38.080 --> 01:40.191
not create shared understanding as he

01:40.191 --> 01:41.913
maneuvered towards the hostile

01:41.913 --> 01:43.969
encampment and deployed his regiment

01:43.969 --> 01:46.024
for combat . He ordered reno to make

01:46.024 --> 01:48.247
the initial attack on the village while

01:48.247 --> 01:50.302
he moved around and attacked it from

01:50.302 --> 01:52.469
the opposite side , believing that the

01:52.469 --> 01:54.691
hostiles would be too busy fighting off

01:54.691 --> 01:56.858
Reno's attack and be caught unawares .

01:56.858 --> 01:59.080
Ben Team with the resupply packs in the

01:59.080 --> 02:01.024
rear of the column and the slowest

02:01.024 --> 02:03.080
element of the seventh cavalry would

02:03.080 --> 02:05.080
catch up and replenished Custer and

02:05.080 --> 02:06.747
Reno as needed . Reno did not

02:06.747 --> 02:08.747
understand Custer's instruction and

02:08.747 --> 02:08.720
thought Custer would support him in his

02:08.720 --> 02:10.887
attack on the village , but Custer had

02:10.887 --> 02:13.260
inexplicably moved out of sight . He

02:13.260 --> 02:15.482
also did not know what Ben teens , task

02:15.482 --> 02:17.371
or location was as he prepared to

02:17.371 --> 02:20.560
charge into the village . Ben Team did

02:20.560 --> 02:22.616
not understand Custer's last order ,

02:22.616 --> 02:24.671
written by his adjutant , Lieutenant

02:24.671 --> 02:26.810
Cook and delivered by bugler martin .

02:27.010 --> 02:29.510
It read Ben Team , Come on , Big

02:29.510 --> 02:32.640
Village , be quick . Bring packs , P .

02:32.640 --> 02:36.590
S . Bring packs , W . W . Cook plotting

02:36.590 --> 02:38.590
along the back with the slow moving

02:38.590 --> 02:40.840
pack mules . Ben Team was not sure what

02:40.840 --> 02:43.140
task Custer wanted to accomplish to be

02:43.140 --> 02:45.300
quick or to bring the packs . He

02:45.300 --> 02:47.467
couldn't move quickly and bring up the

02:47.467 --> 02:49.467
resupply and besides he didn't even

02:49.467 --> 02:52.130
know where Custer had gone . He looked

02:52.130 --> 02:54.500
a bugle martin , a native of Italy and

02:54.500 --> 02:56.550
his real name was martini for some

02:56.550 --> 02:58.900
clarification and martin stared back at

02:58.900 --> 03:01.480
him blankly as his knowledge of english

03:01.490 --> 03:05.430
was minimal like this . So Ben

03:05.430 --> 03:07.652
Team stayed with Reno and made the best

03:07.652 --> 03:10.070
of it . Meanwhile a few miles away

03:10.080 --> 03:12.302
Custer's element was being wiped out to

03:12.302 --> 03:15.130
the last man . Shared understanding is

03:15.130 --> 03:17.241
perishable , and commanders and their

03:17.241 --> 03:18.852
subordinates must adequately

03:18.852 --> 03:20.574
communicate to maintain shared

03:20.574 --> 03:22.797
understanding of the situation problems

03:22.797 --> 03:24.870
and potential solutions . Commanders

03:24.870 --> 03:26.926
can develop shared understanding and

03:26.926 --> 03:28.981
their organizations through training

03:28.981 --> 03:30.870
and by creating an environment of

03:30.870 --> 03:32.860
collaboration and dialogue .
