1. Directives

2. Directive
Directives – also known as action plans – are the main form of writing in a crisis committee, or the most widely recognized
They consist of orders and actions that the committee as a whole wants to take. Unlike resolutions, directives are written in a very informal way.
They consist of only operative clauses-the actual statements of action.

3. Example of a Directive
New orders for Minuteman III ICBM silo operators: ‡
Arm 50% of missiles in silos within 100 miles of the United States Eastern seaboard
No fire unless fired upon
‡ Scramble 35 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers for additional stealth reconnaissance missions over Russian airspace.
Notice how the beginning states who the directive is referencing.
This directive consists of just 3 clauses of action.
This shows how simple a directive really is and how easy it is to write one.
