Title: Demonstrate problem-solving techniques during mission simulations.
Course: Cadet Leadership (09900) > Section: Planning Missions: Strategy, Innovation, and Problem-solving

Demonstration should include

- defining the problem
- breaking down the problem to its components to isolate root causes and constraints
- generating alternatives that consider creativity, feasibility, and mission priorities
- selecting the best solution by applying criteria such as impact, resources, and risk
- executing the solution to show practical application under simulated conditions
- documenting steps taken and outcomes observed to support reflection and refinement.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can you identify the components of a problem?
- What solutions can be generated to address the problem?
- When should the team commit to selecting one solution over others?
- Why is documenting each problem‑solving step valuable for learning?
- How can leaders evaluate whether the chosen solution was effective?
