The S3 Battlestaff is responsible for planning and developing Battalion operations. They write the standard operational procedures (SOP) for how Operations are to be conducted. They also generate the orders for specific combat actions. Finally, S3 evaluates performance in the form of After Action Reports. S3 formulates specific plans for Operations given the characteristics of the mission and the battalion's Area of Operation. For example, if the Battalion Commanding Officer directs S3 to develop a mission plan for capturing an insurgent leader, S3 will determine which subordinate units should be tasked with the mission, such as an infantry platoon. Finally S3 will generate the written order (OPORD) which will detail the situation, the nature of the mission, the target and the time line for a given Operation. In addition, S3 Battlestaff is responsible for identifying, testing, and implementing any mods to be used by their respective Battalion.
