Ch. 3m Flashcards
Results of the air tasking cycle
ATO, ACO, SPINS
3 major route planning priorities
delivery of wpn
survival of aircrew
recovery of a/c
Successful route planners must consider:
avoiding enemy defenses entry/exit corridors fuel mins mutual defense decon nav positioning
Who is ultimately responsible for the success or failure of all mission planning
unit CC
what’s included in the mission planning cycle
activities required to plan missions from the receipt of the ATO
first step in mission planning cycle
receive ATO
how often is the ato published
daily, or if mission is pre planned every 3 days
List steps of mission planning cycle
Receive ATO > PMB > MP phase > MP validation > Execute msn > MPC debrief
What occurs during mission planning phase
penetration analysis
evasion/escape plans
What occurs during mission planning validation
mission folder review board validates msn plans ISO an OPLAN
Most important part of mission execution phase
debrief, MISREP
What occurs during mission planning cell debrief
LL, issues, feedback
3 factors in mission planning process
mission tasking, target i.d., msn route characteristics
Where does target identification come from
higher HQ through ATO/OPLAN
used to depict the entire combat mission route

air tasking cycle
what does the air tasking cycle start and end with
start: JFC strategy
end: combat assessments
6 phases of air tasking cycle
1: JFC obj/guidance
2: Target dev
3: Weaponeering + Allocation
4: ATO production
5: Force execution
6: Combat assessment
end product of target development phase (2)

ATO - ACO - SPINS
what happens during phase 5 of air tasking cycle

what happens during phase 6 of air tasking cycle

are we doing the right thing?
