A commander's statement of his mission and the tasks he specifies for his subordinates to perform are the results of his decision making. Discussion and illustrative examples published in doctrinal literature assist commanders with the preparation of statements. This paper reviewed doctrinal standards then applied them to prescriptions and illustrations that address air defense operations. It found that published air defense task and mission statements fail to meet general doctrinal standards. Following an analysis of illustrative examples, the paper suggests improvements. Examples that meet standards are presented to illustrate statements that encourage commanders to consider air defense operations in clear and precise terms. Examples include an air defense mission statement, and tactical tasks for both Air Defense Artillery and other types of units. Operational and strategic tasks are discussed and possible tasks are formulated.
