Rhyfel Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So I have once again gotten the itch to write some scenarios per the request of the Monday Night Fights and Dogs of War crews. The endeavor I want to embark on, and have started, is to create a multiple missions spanning a defensive operations scenario from the Maneuver Captains Career Course, U.S. Army. I have all of the unclassified unlimited distribution materials, which includes a video operations order brief and the actual written operations order with all annexes and overlays. I've decided not to the operations type scenario and break the mission up into multiple parts. What would be the best way to post all of the materials and video with the order and annexes in order to provide a realistic defensive operations order? Volcano had assist me with phase three of this mission back in 2010, so I am looking to expand on it. Threat temp is provided below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted February 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2015 One way would be via a download here, together in a package that includes all the scenario files and your briefing files - the video(s) and Power Point presentation or whatever, so in one all inclusive set of files. Any other way would likely be too difficult for people to track down all the files). Just an idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyfel Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks Volcano. Perhaps I give all the materials upfront, then per phase provide a FRAGO, as to make sure folks are tracking where they are in the timeline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There are limits to the file types you can attach here (unless you want to zip everything).For the activities that need multiple briefing / support files I tend to use DropBox or pCloud or something similar.In terms of imbedding images in briefings in posts, again I use a 3rd party site like Flickr to store the files and then link to the images.Finally we have trialled and now adopted the "BattleBook" concept to gather most documents for a major activity into one place.For example:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3sij64o3aqlol1d/Rolling%20Thunder%20Battle%20Book%20Ver%203.7-2.pdf?dl=0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyfel Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I like the battle book idea. seems similar to a thread. first posting would be the briefing and video, then sequential posts for each mission set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If you do a quick search for "Rolling Thunder" you can see one possible approach.There's:- an overview / background thread- a staffing thread- an OPORD thread...- and a summary thread that keeps the key documents together (without the numerous posts by participants).Of course that is for a "live" activity. If you are posting a mission pack, some of those threads aren't required (e.g. you aren't tracking who has signed up to fill which role). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyfel Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 hmm that might work. i think i will sketch out the thread diagram and post the concept to see what folks think. Couldn't find the rolling thunder link from the search function, didn't get any returns. Can you post the link? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
