In which step of the 5 step process is the METT-TC analysis conducted?

The METT-TC analysis is conducted in the second step of the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), which is the "Mission Analysis" step. During this phase, leaders assess the operational environment using the METT-TC framework—analyzing Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops and Support Available, Time, and Civil Considerations—to inform planning and decision-making. This analysis helps in understanding the context and factors that will influence the mission outcome.
