Which tool is used to brief expected behaviors for SWORD, SABER, and SPEAR?

• A. NTTPs
• B. MPRWS
• C. ONI
• D. CAS

Answer: (C)

Focusing on how threats act in a scenario is about threat intelligence—understanding likely enemy behaviors, capabilities, and patterns of action. Office of Naval Intelligence provides these threat briefs, bringing together what the adversaries (like SWORD, SABER, and SPEAR) are capable of, their typical courses of action, and practical implications for how you should operate. Using ONI to brief expected behaviors gives you a realistic, informed basis for training and decision-making, so you’re prepared for what you’re likely to encounter.

The other options don’t fit this briefing role as well. NTTPs cover how to execute tactics and procedures, not what the enemy is likely to do. MPRWS isn’t the standard tool for this purpose, and CAS refers to Close Air Support, a mission set rather than a briefing resource for threat behavior.
