METT-TC stands for:

• A. Mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, and civil considerations
• B. Mission, Engagement, Terrain, Time, and Command
• C. Movement, Energy, Tactics, Training, Condition
• D. Measure, Evaluate, Train, Task, Communicate

Answer: (A)

METT-TC is a planning framework used to assess six factors that shape a mission before acting: Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops and Support Available, Time Available, and Civil Considerations. The correct choice lists these elements exactly, acknowledging that the order can vary in different texts. Understanding each piece helps you see how the plan is constrained and shaped: the mission defines what needs to be achieved; the enemy identifies who you’re up against; terrain and weather describe the environment and how it can aid or hinder actions; troops and support available accounts for the forces, equipment, and logistics you can rely on; time available influences the tempo and sequencing of actions; civil considerations cover the impact on the local populace, governance, and potential consequences for civilians. The other options mix in terms like Engagement, Command, Movement, Energy, Tactics, Training, Condition, or general management steps, which are not part of METT-TC and would miss essential factors in this planning approach.
