strategy by General Petreaus
Anaconda Strategy
used a modern day Anaconda strategy
General Petreaus
operational approach
description of the broad actions the force must take to transform current conditions into those desired at the end state
Where do we want to go? (operational approach)
strategic & military end state
supporting dept and military objectives
perfect understanding of the OE
not realistic, achievable, or needed to guide planning
who must you talk to in order to understand the OE
must talk with stakeholders
what is central to both design and plannign
commander engagement
yr of Libya operations
2011
year of Haiti earthquake
2010
year of Indonesia tsunami
2004
FHA
Foreign Humanitarian Assitance
what must military commanders understand when they participate in FHA
commanders must understand they play a supporting role
HA/DR
Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster RElief
how to respond to an emergency if FHA
if emergency, msut act quick to attain immediate life-saving objectivs. later, design can be refined to facilitate a clearer operational approach
important when doing HA projects
-stable vs unmstable political/economy
-can they provide key status
-is government accountable (mass mistrust, civil unrest, epidemic, natural disaster)
0security, infrastrucuture, logistics, medical
what must be clearly incorporated into operational design
LOE
end state
phasing
objectives
8 steps of JOPP
initiation
mission analysis
COA development
COA analysis
COA comparision
AOA approval
plan/order
develop
what should problem statements (r/t JOPP) not include
-NOT pose a solution (that is part of mission analysis/COA development during later JOPP state. if you pose solutions now, you run the risk of solving the wrong problem)
-account for current situation w/o prediction future (further ideas should be taken from gaining understandign of OE and take into account hix but limiting projections. if a solution is propsed even implicitly, it can led the commaned/plannign to narow focus too soon
-also, don’t imply cause (correlation not equal causation)
-posing the problem might actually ID a symtpom as part of hte larger problem)
design versus planning
D: brainstorming, critical reasoning, critical thinking
P: deliberate analytical thinking, detailed production of plans/orders
why might design be limited in operational development
design may be limited in a time sensitive emergency b/c severe time constraints so operational approach may be limited
3 traditional warfightinhg levels
strategic = national, policy

SCA
sociocultural analysis
what is intelligence
information about the OE in relation to other intel
primary role of joint intelligence
facilitate mission accomplishment
when is information (intelligence) of greatest value
whenn it contributes to CO diecision makign
tasks of intelligence-5
collect
process
exploitation
analysis
dissemination of future
J2
intelligence
6 categories of intelligence operations
plan & direction
collection
processing & exploitation
analysis & production
dissemination & integration
eval & feedback
JIPOE

continuous process JN-2 uses to make products the CO can use to make decisions
Strategic Intel
national level
prez, National Security COuncil, COngress, SecDef, Sr leaders, CCDR, USG dept
operational intel
CCDR, JFC
tactical intel
CDR/operational for battle engagement, special ops
what should you synchronize intelligence w/
plans and operations
what do intelligence analystics seek to udnerstand
intelligence analystis seek to udnerstand all relevant aspects of hte OE
what facilitates unity of effort
central planning
decentralized execution
what nuances should intel seek to udnerstand in the OE
intel should help understand socioculatural nuances in OE
principle of joint intelligence
perspective, synch w/plans and operations, integrity (remaining intellectually honest, unity of effort, prioritization, excellence in quality , prediction, agility, collaboration
highest standard of quality
excellence
role of hte DIrector of National Intellgience

GHE: What happens when the money turns off?
we must find our line inthe sand
*“we’ve made it worse on 6 continents and the only reason why not 7 is b/c the penguines won’t take our $”
Why do nations fail?
bad governance/insitutions
what must you ask when request for aid
need empirical evidence that aid helps - otherwise aid is for the givers, not receivers
person who settled a dispute or has ultimate authority in a matter
arbiter
stovepipe
transmit information directly throught levels of hierarchy vertically but does not disperse widely
pipe that takes smoke/gases from a stove up through a roof/chimney
stovepipe: transmit information vertically through chain of command but not disperse widely
JOPES
joint op plannign & execution system
what usually causes gaps in the plannign process
gaps in the plannign process are usually due to large # of efforts simulatanously undertaken
purpose of B2C2WG
core of how to integrate efforts across the event horizongs
*inform the commander
*meetings along battle rhythm
team members on an operational planning team
-intel planner
-maneuver planner
-lead/admin
-fires planner
-logistics planner
-stakeholders
role of an operational planning team
solve a single plannign problem on a single event horizong
future plan = sequel
future op = branches
how to wargame
“Red Team”
-=a tool successfully used by command.
helps to take bias out of develpment
0links design & planning via ID of vulnerabilities, threats, opportuniteis
purpose of Red Teamming
tool to take bias out of development/planning
*links design and planning via ID of vulnerabilities, threats, opppportuniteis
importance of battle rythm
efficiency and effectivness
-must have enough time built inb=between
Planners Huddle
small setting venue where planners meet w/CCDR to receive guidance form CDR in a small setting
small setting where planners can meet with CCDR
Planners Huddle
important thing to remember about Joint HQ
Joint HQ will have more planning problems than resource’s to solve them so you must have means to prioritize
future plans/ops
sequ3l
benefit of a standing HQ
standing HQ has benefit of relationships over a long period of time
