Which is the final step of the MDMP?

• A. COA Approval
• B. COA Comparison
• C. Order Production, Dissemination, and Transition
• D. COA Analysis

Answer: (C)

The last action in the MDMP is turning the chosen plan into actionable orders, getting those orders out to all units, and transitioning from planning to execution. After developing, analyzing, and comparing COAs, and after obtaining approval for the chosen COA, the plan must be produced as orders, disseminated to subordinate commands, and transitioned to operations. This step completes the cycle by moving from staff work to actual execution, ensuring everyone knows their tasks and how the operation will unfold. The earlier steps focus on creating and evaluating options; the final step is what enacts the plan.
