116
Q

Planning developed in noncrisis situations in support of future events.

Several COAs are created, each containing an initial CONOPS that identifies, at a minimum, major capabilities required and task organization, major operational tasks to be accomplished by components, a concept of employment, and assessment of risk for each COA.

Planning has six or more months to be accomplished.

A

Deliberate planning

117
Q

Driven by an incident or situation that typically develops rapidly and occurs with little or no warning

A crisis could be so time critical, or a single COA so obvious, that the first written directive might be a DEPORD or an EXORD.

Planning has less than six months to be accomplished
