Book Synopsis Theater Campaign Planning by : Department of Defense
Download or read book Theater Campaign Planning written by Department of Defense and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook, “Theater Campaign Planning,” is intended to provide combatant command planners with a conceptual approach to developing theater campaign plans (TCPs). It is based on insights from a variety of sources over the last several years. This booklet is designed to assist planners by presenting a broad approach to TCPs and country-level planning that considers ongoing security cooperation efforts, current operations, the Phase 0 component of contingency plans, and resourcing constraints as part of the combatant commander's implementation of his strategic approach to the area of responsibility. Doing so successfully requires some modification of traditional operational planning approaches and an appreciation that every Department of Defense (DoD) action, word, and image communicates the real or perceived intent of DoD and the United States Government (USG).This handbook serves several purposes: Present a common intellectual approach to TCP and country planning, that provides CCMDs enough flexibility to meet their specific requirements; Improve the integration of posture, joint operations and steady-state security cooperation with the Phase 0 component of contingency planning—setting the theater; Explain where and how the Department's planning efforts align with the interagency, specifically but not limited to Department of State and USAID; Help CCMD planners build resource-informed TCPs that (1) identify a total resource demand signal to the Department and other government agencies, (2) link resource expenditures to CCMD objectives, and (3) explain the strategic or operational risks associated with resource shortfalls linked to theater end states. Achieving these purposes will enable the Department to take a significant stride forward in designing and executing well-integrated, resource-informed TCPs and country plans.

Book Synopsis Perspectives on Theater Air Campaign Planning by : David E. Thaler
Download or read book Perspectives on Theater Air Campaign Planning written by David E. Thaler and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1995 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reports on independent, exploratory research on air campaign planning and execution. Its purpose is threefold: (1) to provide observations on the current processes and capabilities for planning and executing air operations in theater conflicts; (2) to identify key issues associated with those processes; and (3) to recommend analytic concentrations for future research. Our primary focus is at the broadest level of campaign planning and execution- activities flowing from the definition of campaign and operational objectives down to the allocation, apportionment, and tasking of forces. Our work involved interviews with a variety of USAF organizations. We did not explicitly interview personnel in other service or joint organizations; hence, we are plainly offering a USAF perspective on campaign planning. However, most of the USAF entities we talked with are intimately involved in joint and combined operations and planning, and Air Force doctrine and perceptions will likely play an important role in shaping future air campaigns. Therefore, we believe that this report has relevance beyond the confines of the USAF planning community. (KAR) P. 9.
Book Synopsis Operationalizing Theater Campaign Planning Through Interagency Cross-functional Teams by : Bryan J. Laske
Download or read book Operationalizing Theater Campaign Planning Through Interagency Cross-functional Teams written by Bryan J. Laske and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both State Department and Department of Defense leaders have articulated policy and guidance emphasizing the importance of building partner capacity as part of regional security strategies and overall national interests. In addition, the President has set forth policy to strengthen the ability of the United States to help allies and partner nations build their own security capacity. Yet, the ability to bring the instruments of national power to effective use remains a challenge. The United States must pursue a new approach to better meet a complex and interdependent security environment. The cross-functional teams represented in joint-interagency task forces are a model that has proven its effectiveness toward national security goals in multiple regions and for a variety of purposes. Institutionalizing cross-functional teams in the model of the joint-interagency task force and employing them to link geographic combatant command regional strategies with U.S. Embassy country strategies in the security sector will establish an effective mechanism to integrate capabilities, authorities, and resources of all U.S. Government departments and agencies in key regions, sub regions, or high-risk countries.

Book Synopsis The Role of Health Services in Support of the Theater Campaign Plan by : Ian L. Natkin
Download or read book The Role of Health Services in Support of the Theater Campaign Plan written by Ian L. Natkin and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contribution of health services, a major component of logistical support, is often little understood and overlooked in the planning and execution of theater campaign strategy. Medical support is considered, but only as it applies to support of deployed forces. This study examines the importance of health services in the formulation of strategic objectives. Proper application of selected logistical areas can prevent escalation of conflict from nonviolent to violent military means. If this is not accomplished, further planning considerations are addressed. The lack of historical and current doctrinal guidance on the connection between the integration of campaign planning and medical support considerations is shown. A review of medical considerations in the European Theater is followed by the status in resolving critical medical deficiencies. (KT).
Book Synopsis An Approach to Campaign Planning by : John C. Burdett
Download or read book An Approach to Campaign Planning written by John C. Burdett and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military writing, thinking, and training in the 1980's has centered around defining operational art, understanding operations art, and learning to fight at the operational level of war. The campaign plan has frequently been mentioned as the document or vehicle that could or should be used to direct operations in a theater of war. Currently, however, all Services have their own ideas about developing and whether or not to even use campaign plans. This essay is designed to demonstrate the need for campaign planning and to describe a technique for developing a campaign plan that will ensure that all assets in the theater are used efficiently without duplication of effort. This unity of effort must be achieved if operational commanders are going to employ forces to accomplish strategic objectives in a given theater of war.
Book Synopsis Evolution of the Air Campaign Planning Process and the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS) by : Daniel Gonzales
Download or read book Evolution of the Air Campaign Planning Process and the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS) written by Daniel Gonzales and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes an examination of the air campaign planning process, including observation of how the process was conducted in recent exercises and a review of how the process was performed during the Gulf War. A number of suggested changes to the process are recommended that, in conjunction with changes to the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS), could improve the process significantly and reduce the time needed for production of the Air Tasking Order from 48 to 24 hours. CTAPS capabilities were examined as a part of this study. The CTAPS 5.0x and planned 6.0 architectures were reviewed and suggestions presented that could enhance the operational capabilities of the system. This report should be of interest to project managers and monitors of CTAPS and related programs, to those interested in the air campaign planning process, and to those responsible for developing Department of Defense or Air Force information system architectures.

Book Synopsis US Air Force Air Campaign Planning: Paying the Bills Or Paying the Price by :
Download or read book US Air Force Air Campaign Planning: Paying the Bills Or Paying the Price written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses the question of whether the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Campaign Planning Process is compatible with the theater campaign planning process outlined in joint publications such as Joint Pub 3: Doctrine for Joint Operations and Joint Pub 5,001: JTTP for Campaign Planning. This paper begins with a comparison of key terms used in the two planning processes, joint and USAF. These terms provide a basis of comparison and analysis for the discussion of the joint campaign planning cycle as outlined in Joint Pub 5-00.1 and the air campaign planning process from the Joint Doctrine Air Campaign Course (JDACC) 'Air Campaign Planning Handbook.' The monograph compares the two planning processes and analyzes their potential integration in terms of planning process inputs and outputs. The monograph concludes that the USAF air campaign planning process is, in fact, doctrinally compatible with the joint campaign planning cycle. Although Air Force doctrine acknowledges the potential for a stand alone campaign, the major focus of the USAF planning effort is for an air campaign plan, subordinate to the theater campaign plan, which focuses operations and resources towards the achievement of theater objectives.

Book Synopsis Campaign Planning Handbook - Academic Year 2013 - United States Army War College by : United States Government US Army
Download or read book Campaign Planning Handbook - Academic Year 2013 - United States Army War College written by United States Government US Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to assist United States Army War College students during the Theater Strategy and Campaigning (TSC) Course. It supplements Joint Doctrine and contains elements of emerging doctrine as practiced in the field. It portrays a way to apply doctrine and emerging doctrine at the higher levels of joint command, with a primary emphasis at the Combatant Command level. Commanders have used campaign planning to synchronize efforts and sequence several related operations throughout history. Gen. George Washington planned the Campaign of 1781 to coordinate the actions of a French fleet, a French expeditionary army, and his "main army" to destroy the British forces at Yorktown. Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant planned simultaneous offensives by his subordinate commands against the Confederacy for the 1864 Campaign. During World War II, campaign planning became essential to coordinate the actions of joint and combined forces in all Allied theaters. As a mature example of campaign planning in the later stages of World War II in the Pacific Theater of War, Douglas MacArthur issued his Strategic Plan for Operations in the Japanese Archipelago, DOWNFALL, in May 1945. In this 25-page document MacArthur explained how the plan "...visualizes attainment of the assigned objectives by two (2) successive operations (OLYMPIC and CORONET)." The cover letter described this plan as a "general guide covering the larger phases of allocation of means and of coordination, both operational and logistic. It is not designed to restrict executing agencies in detailed development of their final plans of operation." Campaign planning received new emphasis during Operation DESERT STORM in 1991, when Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf used a campaign plan to guide the synchronized employment of his forces. In the wake of Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM, theater strategy and campaign planning have become high priorities within the Department of Defense, and several other executive departments have given both a higher priority. Theater and subordinate joint commanders now develop a comprehensive set of nested strategies and plans, beginning with a theater or global strategy, followed by a theater or global campaign plan, and supported by theater security cooperation, contingency, and posture plans. All of these are nested within the context of ongoing operations. This handbook focuses at the Combatant Command and subordinate Joint Force Command levels. In some cases, where there is an apparent dichotomy between Joint and Service doctrine, the handbook reconciles the differences where possible and focuses on "best practices" for theater commanders.
Book Synopsis Security Cooperation and Professional Military Education by : Terry L. Baggett
Download or read book Security Cooperation and Professional Military Education written by Terry L. Baggett and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professional military education institutions do not provide adequate instruction regarding security cooperation to produce theater campaign planners with the knowledge required to design, arrange, and implement the security cooperation activities that form the core of Theater Campaign Plans. The Guidance for Employment of the Force directs Geographic Combatant Commanders to develop Theater Campaign Plans that integrate steady-state military actions, composed primarily of security cooperation activities, and link them to strategic end states. This construct requires organizations that plan at the theater level to have staff officers who are as well versed in the theory, doctrine, planning, and practice of security cooperation as they are in warfighting. Existing education curricula must incorporate comprehensive security cooperation instruction in order to produce these theater campaign planners. Security cooperation planning is sufficiently different from the planning of traditional military operations to require specific and comprehensive instruction. Professional military education institutions must overcome three major impediments to improving security cooperation instruction: institutional reluctance, lack of doctrinal guidance, and scarcity of faculty experience. The Department of Defense can surmount these challenges through a combination of direction from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, adjustments in doctrine, and a collaborative approach to security cooperation curriculum development and instruction. Implementing these recommendations will result in professional military education graduates who are equipped to lead effective theater campaign planning efforts."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Strategic Planning in the Arts by : Michael M. Kaiser
Download or read book Strategic Planning in the Arts written by Michael M. Kaiser and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning today is more important than ever. Both acquisition and allocation of resources are increasingly difficult for arts organizations as a result of emerging technologies, reduced arts education, aging donors, and the advent of new forms of entertainment. It is essential for arts organizations to take a coherent approach to these issues to remain vibrant over time. In fact, most arts organizations do periodically attempt some kind of planning exercise. But a review of hundreds of such plans suggests that most contain merely a wish list, rather than concrete plans for the future: "We will increase ticket sales!" is a common "strategy" expressed in too many arts plans. In the absence of details about how ticket sales will be increased, it's an empty promise. In Strategic Planning in the Arts, Michael M. Kaiser, the former head of the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and an arts management guru, has produced a clear, concise guide for staff or board members of not-for-profit arts organizations who are responsible for developing, evaluating, or implementing plans. Relying on real-world cases and examples, Kaiser shows how to conceive, assess, and act on every part of the strategic plan, from the mission statement to the financial statement; from managing the board to marketing. Praise for Michael Kaiser: "A rich yet tidy cornucopia of solutions for the challenges facing the American arts scene." - Washington Post

Book Synopsis Campaign Plan Formulation and the Deliberate Planning Process: Linking the Strategic and Operational Levels of War. Considerations and Implications for Strategic and Operational Level Planners by : Michael R. Rampy
Download or read book Campaign Plan Formulation and the Deliberate Planning Process: Linking the Strategic and Operational Levels of War. Considerations and Implications for Strategic and Operational Level Planners written by Michael R. Rampy and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The campaign planning process is the essential link between the strategic and operational levels of war. Since the final large unit operations of World War II, the American military has lost its expertise in campaign planning. The study examines the deliberate planning process of World War II and the contemporary Joint Operations Planning System (JOPS) in relation to campaign plan formulation. The study begins with the development of a theoretical construct to analyze the campaign planning process. The study then proceeds to analyze the strategic and operational deliberate planning process of World War II by tracing the formulation of the campaign plan to defeat the Japanese in the Pacific theater of war. The study progresses to an analysis of the contemporary JOPS and its ability to link the strategic and operational levels of war through the process of campaign planning. A comparison and contrasting of both deliberate planning mechanisms yields insights and conclusions that are applicable to the current status of campaign planning. (kr).
Book Synopsis The Air Campaign: Planning For Combat by : John A. Warden III
Download or read book The Air Campaign: Planning For Combat written by John A. Warden III and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the short history of air warfare, no nation with superior air forces has ever lost a war to the force of enemy arms. Air superiority by itself, however, no longer guarantees victory. This book, one of the first analyses of the pure art of planning the aerial dimension of war, explores the complicated connection between air superiority and victory in war. In The Air Campaign, Colonel John A. Warden III focuses on the use of air forces at the operational level in a theater of war. The most compelling task for the theater commander, he argues, is translating national war objectives into tactical plans at operational levels. He presents his case by drawing on fascinating historical examples, stressing that the mastery of operational-level strategy can be the key to winning future wars. Colonel Warden shows us how to use air power more effectively-through rough mass, concentration, and economy of forces-because, he warns, the United States no longer holds an edge in manpower, production capacity, and technology. Simply put, an air force inferior in numbers must fight better and smarter to win. This book offers planners greater understanding of how to use air power for future air campaigns against a wide variety of enemy capabilities in a wide variety of air operations. As the reader will see, the classic principles of war also apply to air combat. One of the author's important contributions is to demonstrate that perception to those whose grave responsibility one day may be to plan and carry through a victorious air campaign.
