Which pre-collection task may the Commander delegate to the UDL?

• A. The Observer Briefing
• B. The UDL Briefing
• C. All the above
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Delegating tasks to the UDL before collection helps ensure the team is prepared and aligned. Both the Observer Briefing and the UDL Briefing are pre-collection steps that inform different roles about what to expect and how to execute the plan. The Observer Briefing clarifies what observers should watch for, how to report, routes, timing, and safety procedures. The UDL Briefing covers the UDL’s own responsibilities, limits, and the overall plan the unit will follow. Because both briefing tasks can be delegated to the UDL to prepare the team, the best choice is All the above. If you only delegated one, you’d leave part of the pre-collection preparation undone.
