You know very little of the enemy force dispositions and fortifications you must attack. There is a great deal of uncertainty about what your forces will encounter.
When meeting with your senior staff to plan for the attack, what plan would you adopt?
Plan for multiple situations in detail. Envision every possible outcome, and create a plan for each situation. Personally oversee the details to ensure the best plan is created.
