MS350 ADVANCED PLATOON OPERATIONS 2026 1 Military Instruction 1.5 (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This course provides an enhanced exploration of MS300 course material by building upon foundational tactical planning and decision-making skills taught during MS200/MS250. MS350 further develops the cadet's knowledge of doctrinal tactical principles and general professional knowledge, using Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs) as a framework for planning and preparation. Cadets are challenged to apply tactical knowledge, competencies, and decision-making to solve complex situations that require critical thinking and creating problem-solving skills. Instruction in the fundamentals of small unit operations emphasizes both offensive and defensive tactics. Additionally, cadets are expected to demonstrate an increased understanding of the TLPs and mental agility through execution of tactical decision-making exercises. In addition to tactics, cadets continue their general instruction in the various Army systems, procedures, and functions that are important aspects of officership. Finally, cadets examine the small unit leader's role in ensuring that the moral and ethical decision-making process is integrated into all operations.
