After consulting the attack guidance matrix, which action follows?

Coordinating is the next essential step after reviewing the attack guidance matrix. The matrix translates the commander's intent into specific fire support actions, timing, and priorities. Once you have that guidance, you must conduct coordination with maneuver elements, adjacent units, and fire support assets to align timing, target priorities, and deconfliction. This ensures the fires and movements work together as a single, synchronized effort, while also verifying ROE, safety, and any collateral or airspace considerations. Planning steps like plotting targets or final mission clearance happen earlier or later; completing the mission is the end result, not the immediate next action after consulting the matrix.
