Only one thing to add to previous. If I remember correctly, the 'Execution' part of the SMEAC Brief was broken down further into 'General Outline' and 'Detailed Tasks'. To recap:
Situation
Mission
Execution - General Outline (How we are going to do the task)
- Detailed Tasks (Who will be responsible for what
elements (and to what standard, by when etc)).
Any Questions?
Check of Understanding.
Here's a top tip to go with it - get yourself a waterproof notebook and permanent fine OHP Film pen for writing your brief down. A small pack of 'Quickies' nail polish removers will enable you to wipe the sheet clean when you have finished the Lead!
One word of warning though, sometimes the pens dry up. A guy on my flt turned to another in the flt in the pouring rain in the middle of Otterburn in December and said
"Lend us a pen Nxxx, this one's gone tits-up"
The 35-yr old ex-Chief Tech was Sheet 3'd by our illustrious 'creamy' flt cdr (Med Sec) for 'using un-officer-like language'.
Good Luck!

top tip ref the last post...
if your likely to be out in the rain trying to write orders, a permanent pen is useless... they dont write in the wet.
best bet is waterproof paper and a nice softish pencil (anything harder than HB will tear the paper)
next best is the waterproof nirex and a chinagraph
sorry to be a spotter but I have bitter experience of trying to write platoon orders for an ambush in Ballduff in the Highlands during a blizard last February.
