The MDMP is intended as a planning tool for the primary staff of battalion sized units and larger as opposed to the "Troop Leading Procedures", which are used to guide units subordinate to battalions. This process is not, according to doctrine, conducted below the battalion level.
The Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) are a systematic approach to planning, preparing, and executing military operations at the small-unit level, [1] particularly in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. It extends the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) to the small-unit level, placing primary responsibility for planning on the commander or small ...

A dismounted reconnaissance troop (DRT) is a reconnaissance unit found within U.S. Army RSTA squadrons that are part of infantry brigade combat teams (IBCTs). While a RSTA squadron serves as the primary reconnaissance element for its parent brigade, the DRT serves as the specialized reconnaissance element for the squadron when conducting clandestine reconnaissance and surveillance.

Screening is often done by reconnaissance units such as cavalry, which operate within range of supporting artillery.In contrast to a guard force, a screening force may consist of a scout platoon rather than a task force or squadron; and its mission is less ambitious, focusing on early warning to the main body rather than preventing enemy observation and direct fire on the main body.
