Tactical Scenarios and Essential Requirements for the Missions of Subunits in the Context of the Current Security Environment

In the context of conflicts and threats specific to the security environment generated by the political, military, economic, social, technological and cultural challenges, as well as the obvious threat of the new COVID-19 virus to public health presented in the previous subchapter, we consider it imperative that we understand both the role of the military organization and the process by which the list of essential requirements for fulfilling the mission of the military organization is identified and established (Mission Essential Task List-METL). The identification of the relevant tactical scenarios, built on real facts extracted from the current world context, the analysis of the combat capacity of the subunits contributes to the realistic and adequate elaboration of a framework for the missions of the subunits.
