2nd Squadron, 16th Cavalry Regiment Site

Armor Basic Officer Leader Course (ABOLC)

Block 4 (Tactical)

---

During Block 4 (Tactical), students will have to pass the official ACFT, lead a platoon in combat-like conditions, show that they understand the situation and can quickly adapt to changes in a complex operational environment, follow Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs) at the platoon level, understand and use Relative Combat Power Analysis (RCPA) to gain a tactical advantage, and carry out platoon missions in the context of Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). Students will develop, brief, and execute a tactical OPORD in a field environment; control platoon-sized elements; and achieve mission success in simulated combat environments. These events include crew-level Situational Training Exercises (STX), section-level STX, and platoon-level STX, which will include formal evaluations.
