Which is the final MDMP step?

• A. Step 5 - COA comparison
• B. Step 1 - Receipt of mission
• C. Step 2 - Mission Analysis
• D. Step 7 - Orders production, dissemination, and transition

Answer: (D)

The final MDMP step is turning the chosen course of action into actionable guidance and moving it into execution. After mission understanding and options are developed and evaluated, the selected plan is formalized into an operation order and disseminated to all participating units, with a clear transition from planning to action. This step closes the planning loop by ensuring everyone knows their tasks, timing, and coordination, so the plan can be carried out effectively. The earlier steps focus on understanding the mission, generating options, and comparing them; it’s the orders production, dissemination, and transition that actually starts the operation.
