Command Task-4 — See-saw Plank — How I’d Brief
A loose plank on a drum fulcrum. GTO wants to see if you brief balance before heroics.
Obstacle
A metal drum (blue — people can touch, material/load cannot rest). A loose long plank. Red pits on both ends if the plank slams. Finish is the far white.
Colour reminders
- Drum blue.
- Pits red.
- Far slab white.
Helping material & load
- The see-saw plank itself
- Rope
- Tolvi as chock
Load: Small box
What the GTO is waiting for
If you do not mention counterweight in the brief, your subordinates will dump the far end into red.

A complete brief (for comparison)
Steal the structure — aim, resources, sequence, roles, colour, fallback — not these exact words on the ground.
- Aim: controlled see-saw; nobody and no box in the pits.
- Resources: A is my counterweight on the near end until I am committed; B chocks with tolvi on white; rope as a stop.
- Sequence: I walk only after A is on; box after I am on the far white; then A walks as B shifts chock.
- Roles: I first walker, A weight, B chock/rope.
- Fallback: if it slams, reset — no blame line. I under-briefed the weight.
