The toolbox offers a wide selection of tactical and operational guidance for individual units from Company to Division and Installations. Special considerations have been made for multi-​echelon UMOs, MWOs, and CDRs.

 They each have a dedicated tab containing tailored guidance in the form of Deployment Checklists: an absolute must-read for newly appointed personnel.
