linkup pos need extensive planing/prep
RAND Coporation
nonprofit global policy think tank, R&D, and policy analysis
why does the DOD rely on the plannign process
to size and posture it military’s force
- so needs a defense planning methodology to size/shape force
- w/o it, the size/shape/capabilities of the mil force is arbitary
OSD
Office of the SecDef
what does the current defense planning process tend to base decisions on
tends to base decisions on mostly inflexible assumptions
- this increases the risk b/c those deacons may be wrong
problem with force-sizing scenarios
doesn’t account for uncertainties - potential for many possible future scenarios to engage and inability of planning process to accurately ID the range of scenarios that might dominate
starting point for defense planning methodolgoies
supply based or demand based
derived from threats, desired, capabilities, or both
why is the majority of defense planning demand
top-down planning method that begins w/highlevel strategic demand signals
demand-led defense planning
streategies capabilities are based on ideas about the requirements of future
supply based defense plannign
begins with a specific real world constraint (e.g current force size, capability mix, budget limit) and builds planning from there
differences between the two typs of military defense planning
supply based: resource focused plan
demand based: capabilities and threat planning
GOAL: spending priorities comprehensive force strength, feasible/affordable capabilities mix
initial strategy focussd on desired outcomes
implementation must be grounded in realism (capabilities, nature of existing forces, feasibility, affordability…)
2 flaws in defense planning
- not responsive enough to quickly adapt to changes in the strategic environment (dynamics) what scenarios are most plausible and most concerning shift)
- process focuses too narrowly on singularly approves arbitrary solutions that constrain alternative contingencies
skunkworks project
project developed by a relatively small and loose structured group fo people who do R&D. often w/a very large degree of autonomy fo the sake of radical innovation
skunkworks and defense planning
to improve defense contingency planning, recommended to use scenarios skunkworks that constantly generates scenarios, contingencies, alternative CONOPS, key assumptions, and skunkworks objects. scouts for exploring the geostrategic horizon
take seriously the need to ID key assumptions built into contingency scenarios…
subject each assumption to rigorous analysis/debate. to information the discussion w/ a clearer understanding of it’s relationships between specific assumptions and outcomes

what happens if you don’t do defense planning

resource informed
operating under a constraint of a range of plausible national security levels
By what objective standard can the leaders of the US defense enterprise be confident that the forces they chose are best aligned with US strategy and policy goals
what message does the DOD send via their choice of scenarios they plan for
the choice of scenarios DOD plans for sends a message about the major tasks teh US is prepared to undertake
- bureacuratic influence
- civilians want options
- mil planners want clear guidance about objectivs and missions
**all want to advance US national security, just do it through different lenses
