Briefing and Intent Revised

A few weeks ago, members of the Briefing and Intent Revision Task Group uploaded new information to the Briefing and Intent webpages.

The "History" page provides a look into briefing through lessons learned from the military. Also included is the evolution of the briefing checklist that is found in the Incident Response Pocket Guide.

Included in the update to the "Types of Briefings" page are the four steps of a briefing as well as a document explaining the different types of briefings: information, mission, decision, and staff.

Under "Briefing References," readers will find numerous articles and documents to assist them in furthering their skills. Listed below are a few references:

• "Affect Them with Intent"
• "Communicating Intent and Imparting Presence" (Lt. Col. Lawrence Shattuck)
• "What a Good Briefing Will Cover"
• "Tips for the Timid and the Bold"
• "Ten Commandments of Good Listening"
