What is the third step in a task crosswalk?

• A. Select Individual Tasks
• B. Select Subordinate Echelon Collective Tasks to Train
• C. Select The Prioritized Higher Echelon Task to Cross Walk
• D. Identify the Mission Essential Task

Answer: (A)

In a task crosswalk, you move from a broader task to the specific actions soldiers must perform. After you’ve decided which higher-echelon task to map, the natural next step is to break that task down into the individual tasks that make up its execution. This decomposition into discrete, observable actions lets you train to and assess each task precisely, and it directly links back to the mission-essential tasks you’re aiming to support. The other steps happen earlier or later in the process: identifying the mission-essential task sets the scope, and selecting the higher-echelon task to cross-walk comes before breaking it down further.
