What occurs during the Deliver phase of D3A?

• A. The commander sets combat rules.
• B. The staff locates targets using information collection plan.
• C. Assets are used to attack the target and create desired effects.
• D. Assessments are performed after action.

Answer: (C)

During the Deliver phase, the plan is put into action. Assets are employed to attack the target and produce the intended effects, using the chosen weapons, platforms, sensors, and support resources to execute the attack as authorized and to achieve the desired outcome.

The other activities belong to other parts of the cycle: setting combat rules is done during planning/decide guidance, locating targets comes from the information collection/detect phase, and assessments occur after action in the assess phase.
