[NOTE: This KDL is posted as an example. It is intended to spur discussion and thinking. You’ll note that the column headings do
not correspond exactly to the columns posted on the KDL website as of 7/11/08. This is an evolving project and we’re adapting the
forms as teams and units use them and give us feedback. You’ll also note that this team decided to enter actions as well as decisions
and by other roles than simply the IC and AA. They use short bullets in the table then add detail for each decision below. If you decide
you want to add more information than is currently requested, by all means do so, and send it in. We’ll enter everything you give us
and we’ll figure a way to feed it back to you as intuitively as possible.]
