DoD unveils new troop leading steps for military, 'RIMJOBS' to streamline mission planning

CAMP PENDLETON, CA - While many in the military are familiar with current troop leading procedures, the Pentagon has proposed a change to streamline the steps and standardize mission planning across the force.

The Army's troop leading steps -- represented by the acronym RIMSRCIS, and the Marines' 'BAMCIS' are soon to be replaced by a new seven-step benchmark.

Behind the change are the Intelligence Analysts with the Production & Analysis Company of 1st Intelligence Battalion. The Marines of P&A Co, or "PANDA" as they call themselves, have teamed up with their Army counterparts -- and have worked together to improve mission plans throughout the military.

Using a PowerPoint presentation that was sloppily constructed by one of his analysts, First Lieutenant Arnold Chartier unveiled the new procedures on Wednesday.
