Understanding SMEAC
Orders are a British Army process that allows an officer/SNCO/JNCO to clearly convey all of the relevant details of a particular mission. The process involves:
Situation - The context of the order, including details about your own and enemy strength, positioning and most likely course of action. Details about other factors, such as the environment and terrain, are also vital - any information that is useful about the current circumstances.
Mission - The specified objectives of the mission, outlining the who, what, where, when and why of the given assignment.
Execution - The exact method by which the objectives of the mission will be accomplished. It will convey the intention of the immediate commanding officer, tasks to be completed and instructions for coordination between units. This section will be the most detailed, breaking down the plan to ensure it’s fully understood.
Administration/Logistics - How troops will sustain themselves, including food, supplies, medical evacuation, transport and more. Without a strong logistical backing, even the best plans are doomed to failure.
Command/Signal - The laid out chain of command, key command locations and communication plans. This section covers how a team will coordinate within the existing hierarchy in a given situation.
