Kompagneplan

Kompagneplan is a term originating from Dutch and German military contexts, roughly translating to "company plan" or "platoon plan." It refers to a detailed operational plan developed at the company or platoon level within a military unit. This plan outlines the specific tasks, objectives, resources, and timeline for a particular mission or operation.

The kompagneplan typically includes aspects such as the tactical situation, enemy assessment, friendly forces' orders, coordination instructions, and administrative and logistical support. It breaks down the overall mission into actionable steps for individual squads or fire teams, ensuring clear understanding and execution. The level of detail can vary depending on the complexity and duration of the operation.

These plans are crucial for effective command and control, enabling junior leaders to translate higher-level directives into practical actions on the ground. They foster initiative and a shared understanding of the mission's intent within smaller units, contributing to overall operational success. The development of a kompagneplan often involves collaboration among platoon leaders, squad leaders, and non-commissioned officers.
