What is the final step in the Troop Leading Procedures?

• A. Complete plan
• B. Issue OPORD
• C. Make tentative plan
• D. Supervise and refine

Answer: (D)

Supervise and refine focuses on actively leading during execution. After you’ve developed and issued the plan and order, the leader stays with the operation, observing how tasks are carried out, coordinating efforts across elements, and making real-time adjustments as conditions change. This ongoing supervision allows you to identify issues early, reallocate resources, alter sequencing, and refine the plan so the mission stays on track and success is achievable. The other steps happen earlier in the process—planning and issuing the order—whereas supervising and refining is the continuous activity that closes the loop and keeps the operation aligned with reality on the ground.
