In the eight-step training model, which step comes immediately after 'Issue the OPORD'?

• A. Rehearse
• B. Plan the Training
• C. Recon the Training Site
• D. Execute the Training

Answer: (A)

In this sequence, after you issue the OPORD you move into rehearsing the plan. Rehearsal lets the team walk through roles, tasks, timing, and handoffs in a safe, controlled setting so everyone knows what they’re doing and where they fit in. It’s the stage to surface gaps, clarify signals or contingencies, and adjust the plan or resources before you actually execute. Planning the training and reconning the site typically happen earlier in the process to shape the plan, while execution follows once the rehearsal confirms everything is ready.
