Initial strategy was done by Major Vernon. He's the one by the white board in teh second pic. Well I shouldn't say it was done by him. It was done by all those officers around computers you see in some of those pics at HQ. It's a group effort. Major Vernon would have been the #1 in command because I don't think the CO was there that night.

Maj Vernon gave the briefing, then he would consult with the Platoon warrants and tell them what he wants each platoon to do. Then the platoon warrants tell each section commander wahat to do with their section.

In battle, there are company objectives (capturing the enemy, building etc), platoon objectives (1st floor, 2nd floor etc) and section objectives (hallway, room etc). So in the battle its pretty much broken down into sections of 10-12 people. The platoon warrant would tell his section commanders what he wants done, then the section commanders will take their troops and do the task.
