Which action best describes the scene leader’s role in terms of attack planning?

• A. Determine methods of attack
• B. Provide medical triage
• C. Manage cafeteria
• D. Administer payroll

Answer: (A)

Attack planning centers on deciding how to respond to a threat and coordinating the actions to carry it out. The scene leader’s job is to determine methods of attack, choose the tactics to use, assign tasks, and marshal the right resources to execute the plan safely and effectively. This directly shapes how the team will counter or mitigate the threat at hand.

Providing medical triage focuses on casualty care, which is medical response rather than planning the attack sequence. The other options—managing the cafeteria and administering payroll—are administrative or logistical tasks unrelated to shaping the tactical response to an incident.
