Pre-mission planning is described as which of the following?

• A. It is a reactive process that occurs during incidents.
• B. It is preparation SRT conducts prior to high-risk situations.
• C. It is optional and used only for large missions.
• D. It is a debriefing step after the mission.

Answer: (B)

Pre-mission planning is the proactive preparation the team do before high-risk operations to set objectives, assign roles, assess risks, and map out actions. It includes gathering intelligence on the site, evaluating potential threats, selecting entry and exit routes, confirming equipment and medical readiness, establishing communications and contingencies, and outlining a step-by-step plan of action. Doing this in advance ensures everyone knows what to do, how to coordinate, and how to respond if things change, rather than improvising on the spot. This is why it’s described as preparation conducted prior to high-risk situations. It isn’t something done during the incident, nor optional or only for large missions, nor a debrief after the mission.
