This could be used as a recommendation/wait list for Battle Staff. It is NO joke.....but great for leader development.

11/15. Not my best showing. Got pinched on attention to detail with the recon helicopter because choice B, was not choice 2.

13 of 15 - I think it needs a little more cowbell and a lot more CAV.

I only missed one. I didn't get the flame thrower. I never seen that. I now know. I learned something new today. Thanks to CPT Aaron Kletzing For the lesson.

I got 13/15. Not bad for an AMEDD guy. This was my evaluation at the end of the quiz:

You are ready to command Coalition Forces in theater-level warfare. Well, maybe that's a bit much, but you ARE really sharp with this specific content. Awesome job, seriously!

This was the class I had to give during ALC. The level of detail you can put on a single icon/symbol is ridiculous. It makes reading a battle map a nightmare if you don't have any zoom capabilities.

COALITION FORCES COMMANDER! Of course any commander, coalition or otherwise, would have someone else posting these symbols. The flame thrower almost got me...but I figured it would have taken more than 30 seconds to find something that was not a symbol?

ALCON -- Update on this quiz. Average score thus far is still just 65%. The hardest question to date has been the one pertaining to the symbol for reconnaissance-type helicopter. On average, it takes RallyPointers more than 5 minutes to complete the quiz!

Who wants another one? I have the next one waiting in the wings...or have you all had enough? ;)
