The one-third two-thirds rule in military tactical planning dictates the allocation of time for leaders preparing operations, specifically stating that no more than one-third of available time should be used for planning and issuing orders, while at least two-thirds of the time must be reserved for subordinates to plan, prepare, and rehearse their tasks. While the name references military planning procedures often used by artillery and mortar units, it applies broadly to all combat arms to ensure subordinate units have adequate time to move, inspect gear, and conduct rehearsals. Violating this rule often results in rushed preparation, poor communication, and tactical failure during execution under high-stress combat conditions.
