Regardless of the level of experience or personality, acommander must be the person to see the overall picture, to see what reallyhappens even when the events take a new and unexpected turn.Despite these qualities, the commander is likely to create his own psychologicaland logical barriers in making effective decisions. Challenging these barriers isthe attribute of critical thinking, the red team being its main tool.Under these conditions, the activity of the red team within the operationsplanning process will play a decisive role in achieving the objectives at eitherstrategic, operational or tactical level.
