Each event has an event name typically describing its function, as well as a chairperson, purpose, location, time, frequency, facilitator, review date, members, and key tasks (agenda). Each named staff section must bring their specified input and products. It may also be important to specify the delivery time of these inputs to provide time to act or analyze the input prior to the event. These inputs lead to specified output products. Determination must be made as to when outputs are required and to whom or for what future event. BATTLE DRILLS 4-19. A battle drill is a collective action rapidly executed without applying a deliberate decision-making process. A battle drill or SOP rehearsal ensures that all participants understand a technique or a specific set Technique: The name "seven-minute drill" refers to the fact that the proponent staff officer has about seven minutes to explain to the COS or XO "why" that particular meeting is necessary and how it supports the commander's decision cycle. The seven-minute drill provides a format by which the staff proponent summarizes the purpose for a prospective meeting. For example, each meeting lead presents a quad chart to the COS or XO that explains the meeting’s purpose, attendees, and how it supports decision making. The approved quad charts are used later to assess meeting effectiveness and ensure the meeting accomplishes its intended purpose. Effective use of the seven-minute drill facilitates synchronized meetings and prevents arbitrary changes. Leaders can also use the quad chart to quickly inform new staff members about meeting expectations and determine if a meeting is still necessary. Variations of the seven minute drill quad chart can be used to quickly update decision makers (see ATP 6-01.1 for additional details on a seven-minute drill. See table 4-2 for an example seven-minute drill quad chart). Table 4-2.
