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.
