outcomes of METOC planning
METOC planning activities identify METOC information gaps, prioritize METOC capability requirements, develop METOC collection plans, assess METOC capabilities to identify shortfalls, and develop mitigation strategies to Executive Summary address those shortfalls. Specific outputs of this LOE are the METOC estimate, which identifies available METOC capabilities and anticipated shortfalls, annex H (Meteorological and Oceanographic Operations), and inputs to annex B (Intelligence) for the campaign or contingency plan.

exploitations (principle of METOC)
Exploitation. Environmental exploitation includes minimizing or mitigating any negative effects of the environment on friendly forces while capitalizing on conditions that maximize the operational advantage over enemy forces.
246
characterization (principle of METOC)
Characterization of the environment is the ability to collect accurate data and process that data into usable information to produce a coherent and accurate picture of the past, present, and/or future state of the environment.
247
principles of METOC
accuracy consistency relevancy timeliness
248
8 processes for METOC data/informatin
METOC forces provide METOC data and information through eight processes: collection, processing, analysis, prediction, tailoring, dissemination, integration, and mitigation.
249
why are amphibs used for NEO
Joint maritime forces, especially amphibious forces, are often used to conduct noncombatant evacuation operations. This is primarily due to their forward-deployed posture; ability to maintain forces afloat, thus not taxing the infrastructure ashore or raising tensions around the US mission or toward US presence; an ability to provide additional forces should the security situation warrant; their self-sustainability; and the ability to transition to other types of operations or provide access for the deployment of other forces.
