Q

National Strategic End State

A

The President and Sec Def typically will establish a set of national strategic objectives. Achievement of these objectives should result in attainment of the national strategic end state — the broadly expressed conditions that should exist after the conclusion of a campaign or operation.

21
Q

Military End State

A

is the set of required conditions that defines achievement of all military objectives. It normally represents a point in time and/or circumstances beyond which the President does not require the military instrument of national power as the primary means to achieve remaining national objectives.

22
Q

Objectives

A

A clearly defined, decisive, and attainable goal toward which every military operation should be directed.

Objectives prescribe friendly goals.

Objectives describe what must be achieved to reach the end state (conditions).

23
Q

Design effect

A

is a physical and/or behavioral state of a system that results from an action, a set of actions, or another effect.

24
Q

Design Element: Center of Gravity

A

A CoG is a source of power that provides moral or physical strength, freedom of action or will to act. (JP 5-0)

Always linked to the objective / desired end state
CoGs only exist in an adversarial context
CoGs are only found in cohesive, “unified” systems

25
Q

At the strategic level COG

A

a CoG could be a military force, an alliance, political or military leaders, a set of critical capabilities or functions, or national will.

26
Q

At the operational level a CoG

A

often is associated with the adversary’s military capabilities — such as a powerful element of the armed forces — but could include other capabilities in the operational environment.

27
Q

COG ENDS

A

The goal or objectives

28
Q

COG ways

A

actions expressed as a verb it is a critical capability

29
Q

COG Means

A

Resources and requirements

30
Q

Critical Capabilities of COG

A

are the primary abilities essential to the accomplishment of the objective

31
Q

Critical Requirements of COG

A

are essential conditions, resources and means the COG requires to perform the critical capability.

32
Q

Critical Vulnerability of COG

A

are those aspects or components of critical requirements that are deficient or vulnerable to direct or indirect attack in a manner achieving decisive or significant results.

33
Q

Decisive Point in relationship with the COG

A

a geographic place, specific key event, critical factor, or function that, when acted upon, allows a commander to gain a marked advantage over an adversary or contributes materially to achieving success

34
Q

is a decisive point a COG?

A

no, they are the keys to attacking or protecting them

35
Q

Line of Operation

A

Connects a series of decisive points over time that lead to control of a geographic objective.
Connects a force from its base of operations to its objective(s) when positional reference to the enemy is a factor (interior/exterior orientation)
A campaign or major operation may have a single or multiple physical lines of operation. LOOs typically use Defeat Mechanisms to describe effects along the LOOs

36
Q

Line of Effort

A

Links multiple tasks and missions with the logic of purpose. Typically uses Stability Mechanisms along LOEs
Enables visualization and description of the operation when positional reference to the enemy has less relevance.
Help JFCs visualize how military means can support non-military instruments of national power and vice versa.

37
Q

can LOE and LOO can be combined ?

A

Yes

38
Q

Simultaneity (arranging operations)

A

application military and non-military power against enemy sources of strength (direct/indirect; forces/functions) and simultaneous operations at the strategic, operational and tactical levels creating simultaneous time & space dilemmas for enemy commanders, political leaders, and tactical forces (massing in time/space; Shock and Awe) that result in adversarial loss of cohesion

39
Q

Depth (arranging operations)

A

seeks to overwhelm the enemy throughout the operating area (diverting/dislocating enemy mass in time/space) that result in disruption of an adversarial cohesive strategy

40
Q

Timing (arranging operations)

A

maintain freedom of action for friendly strategies: dominate the action, remain unpredictable, operate beyond capabilities of adversary…related to tempo, culmination, operational reach, anticipation

41
Q

Tempo (arranging operations)

A

pace operations to your advantage: control operational timing to maintain the initiative (OODA LOOP

42
Q

Branch (arranging operations)

A

A contingency option built into the basic plan used for changing the mission, orientation, or direction of movement of a force to aid success of the operation based on anticipated events, opportunities, or disruptions caused by enemy actions and reactions. It answers the question,

43
Q

Sequel (arranging operations)

A

The subsequent major operation or phase based on the anticipated possible outcomes (success, stalemate, or defeat) of the current major operation or phase. It answers the question

44
Q

Who story is the operational approach

A

the Commander

45
Q

what are the Joint Operation Planning Process steps

A
  1. Initiation
  2. Mission Analysis
  3. Course of Action Development (COA)
  4. COA Analysis and wargaming
  5. COA Comparison
  6. COA approval
  7. plan or order development
46
Q

what are the steps for the military decision making process

A
  1. l receipt of mission
  2. mission analysis
  3. COA development
  4. COA analysis (war-game)
  5. COA comparison
  6. COA approval
  7. order production
47
Q

what is the difference between JPP and MDMP

A

JPP is at Macro view with a blank sheet and figures out what must be done and MDMP begins with a clear mission statement from higher

48
Q

what is the difference between JPP and MDMP in wargaming

A

MDMP is interested in all the details and gets into the weed of everything
JPP looks at the critical times or events
