GLALS stands for which set of planning elements in the correct order?

• A. Ground Tactical Plan; Landing Plan; Air Movement Plan; Staging Plan; Loading Plan
• B. Ground Tactical Plan; Landing Plan; Air Movement Plan; Loading Plan; Staging Plan
• C. Ground Operations Plan; Landing Plan; Air Movement Plan; Loading Plan; Staging Plan
• D. Ground Tactical Plan; Landing Strategy; Air Movement Plan; Loading Plan; Staging Plan

Answer: (A)

GLALS represents the sequence you follow to move from ground planning to getting forces into the aircraft. Start with the Ground Tactical Plan to establish the mission on the ground, define objectives, and set commands and tasks. Next, the Landing Plan identifies where and how you will land and how forces reach the objective from those landing zones. Then come the Air Movement Plan, which coordinates the actual movement of aircraft, routes, timings, and sequencing to deliver the troops and equipment. After that, you move into the Staging Plan, organizing personnel and equipment in a staging area near the landing zones to prep for boarding. Finally, the Loading Plan handles the actual loading of troops and gear onto aircraft, ensuring proper weight, balance, and security. This order creates a logical flow from ground preparation to preparations near the aircraft, then to the loading itself, enabling a coordinated and efficient assault.
