Proceedings: What other kinds of training did you do?

Myatt: We had several sand-table drills. We started each of the processes with
a complete intelligence preparation of the battlefield [IPB] exercise, where we
went through the applicable templates.      When we got the IPB process
going--and it's almost a continuous process as long as the enemy situation
changes--then we had a series of map exercises, staff exercises, and sand-table
drills.
   The sand-table drills were conducted frequently, and the biggest one we had
was on G-5, 1 believe, that included all my commanders and their staffs.     We
used a huge sand-table, probably 40 meters by 40 meters, where we actually had
put in the obstacle belts. General [Royal] Moore, commanding the 3d Marine
Aircraft Wing, was there with his group and squadron commanders, as was the
Direct Support Group commander, Colonel Alex Powell and his commanders
and staff.   We actually went through each phase of the battle and the decision
points that we saw, where we would have to make decisions based on what
happened.    We have all this on videotape.
   Among things you'll see [on the videotape] is General Moore modifying how
he's going to support the division based on this sand-table briefing, where each
of the commanders briefed what he intended to do in certain situations.      We
were concerned about speed and building momentum going north to get through
