Figure 7.6. The second version of the Preliminary Table List
Using the Mission Objectives
In this third and final procedure, you use the mission objectives to determine whether
you've overlooked any subjects during the previous two procedures. This is your final op-
portunity to add tables to the Preliminary Table List.
Start with the first mission objective, and use the Subject-Identification Technique to
identify the subjects represented in that statement. Underline each subject you identify and
thencross-checkitagainsttheitemsonthePreliminaryTableList.Usethesametechniques
here that you used in the previous procedure.
1.
When an item you underlined in a mission objective statement matches an item on
the Preliminary Table List, determine whether the items represent different sub-
jects. If they do, assign an appropriate name to each occurrence and then add each
one to the Preliminary Table List; otherwise, cross out the duplicate item on the
mission objective.
2.
When an item you underlined in the mission objective statement has a name that is
synonymous with the name of an item on the Preliminary Table List and both
items represent the same subject, select the name that best identifies that subject
and use it in the Preliminary Table List.
3.
When an item you underlined in the mission objective statement represents a new
subject, add it to the Preliminary Table List.
