salami tactics
divide and conquer approach which answers to split up the opposition
- expression evokes the idea of slicing up one’s oppositoin in teh same way you slice salami
threat that compels rather than deters
threat that compels rather than deters often requires punishment be administered after the other acts rather athan “if”
Zeno’s paradox
before reaching a destination, you must travel halfware there. then halfway from that…infinite number of steps
if all threats are fully believed…
if all thrats were fully believable, we’d live in a strange and maybe safer (?) world. with manyof the marks on the world based on enforcable laws
brinksmanship
manipulating the shared risk of war
- exploitng the danger of doneone going war over the endge/bring and dragging others with them
- tie rockclimbers together. one falls, all do
comparision to Cold War politcis
cold war politics were like a game fo chicken
- head straight at each othter. who will sewere first?
it taks 2 to play chicken but also 2 to NOT take chicken.
paradox
logic in a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning, from true primises, the conclusion is logically unaceptable or self-contradictory

0- sfa IS ONE OF THE loo THE GOVERNMENT USES WHEN BUILDING PARTNER CAPACITY
- NOT STAND IN FOR ENFORCEMENT
what must we enable our partners to do
enable partners to build their capacity
- develop collaborate mechanisms to share the decisions, risks, and responsibilities fo today’s complex challenges
5 goals of the SFA (Security Force Assitance)
competent
capable and sustainable
committed
confident
accountable
how to use SFA (Security Force Advisors)
advisor for SFA should be embedded with their HN counterparts in defense of an security, instability
- SFA must be able to sustain itself using resources within the HN thus decreasing its dependence on others
why can’t SFA (Security Force Advisors) be an afterthought?
can’t be an afterthought for transition, reconstruction, stability, peacemaking.
Should be integral in planning from stable peace to war
11 imperatives of SFA (Security Force Advisors)
understand the OE
unity of effort
effective leadership
build legitimacy
synchronize information
sustainability
HN ownership
incorporate good governance and respect for human rights
do no harm
PMESII
poltical, militayr economic infrastructure information
- helps military planners understand the OE
ALSO ASK
how will the local populace react to use/threat of force
will they submit or protest
what sit he historical relationship between HN and security forces
any preexisting factors taht exist in international relations between security forces
what infrastructure (transportation hubs, line, religious sties need to be prtected with dedicated assets
limitations planners have when studying the OE
planners are only limited to their imagination when studying the OE
what should you strive for if unity of command isn’t possible
unity of command might not be possible but strive for unity of effort/pourpsoe
how do you ensure unity of effort
persue common end state to ensure synchronization and unity of effort
important thing to know about command relationships
planners and advisors need to understand who is fillign supporting and lead roles.
supportING/ED relastionships change over time
ultimate goal of Security Force Assistance (SFA)

its citizens, international community, regional, governmetn and security force miliatry
things senior leaders must have
trust
empower
maintain sigtuational awareness
HN engagement with Security Force Assistance (SFA)
HN needs to eb actively engaged in all SFA efforts

- we also must ID/account for secondary agendas
synchronization of information
collection, analysis, management, application, preparation fo information
frequently problem when we work with other natiosn
information sharing
long-term objectives for HN
make sure they are realistic, obtainable, sustainable
- consider long-term fiscal and personnel reserves
-
important to remember when USG/MIl advisors coach/teach…HN
avisionrs tcoach teach and bring in correction and expertise but ALL accolades go to the leadre you support
* if an advisor gets more assimiliated in the HN world, they may l;ose focus on their own role “going native”
what is needed when doing an advisor role
remember your role
rememebr you’ll leave

_ friction and uncertainty
explore innovation in art and science of war
discover new factor and questions not previously identified
limits of wargaming
not reproducible. driven by player decisions. each player makes different decisions when faced with a challenge
- not predictive. plausible but not probably
- wargames are only as good ast teh participantsred
red teaming
structured process executed by trained and practiced team memebrs tha provide an independent cpaability to continously challenge palns, operations, concepts, organizations, and capabiliteis in teh context of an OE and rom our partners and adversary POVwhy is
wargaming neglected
wargaming is ap powerful tool which is currently not well understood and therefore somewhat neglected
wargaming that has high/low consequences of an event
can lead to erroneous insights and failed lessons
0 responsibility of teh planner to mitigate that risk

what do you get from a unit that has trained together long-term
intangible syhnergy
how to make intangible into tangible
we like numbers/bullets/data to show capability
- operational readiness is typically judged by tangible more than intangible.
- should be complementary “bad officer but good team player. gerat marine combat skills but no amo”
what question should you ask about tempo
tempo/fluidity - what’s driving the tempo we are seeking
measure our speed/tempo against hte adversary
- should tie tempo back to adversary
turnover affects tempo
how does turnover affect tempo?
what we don’t know, poor or no turnover
what causes a MEU to loose tempo
moving otu OPSO after PTP and start first montyh of deployment - contribtues tot eh MEU losing temp
how to use the OODA loop to help with tempo
must be oriented properly. if not, follow on actions aren’t goign to be correct
how do previous actions affect the OODA loop?
previous actions in OODA loop can affect orientationq
how can you get inside the adversary’s OODA loop
COA/dedicatede REd Cell to hlep get inside the adversary’s OODA loop

what baskets are all of our eggs in?
a COG can also be a CV if we invest too much in it
critical vulnerabilities as a game
the system is like Jenga,
taking out pieces (critical vulnerabilities),
and their COG (multiple pathways)
- shape the system to create
combined arms
bring the force together
- fix teh enemy (create dillemmas)

what is decentralized command
empowering small unit leaders
too much OPSO/CDR dictating
no training to think on their own
problem of decentralized command
sometimes people are too afraid to take and/or accept risks so micromanagement. mentorship where it doesn’t.
sergeants/LT makes decisions in deployment but are we trending towards readiness

what happens at the operational level of war (w/regards to planning)
at the operational level of war, planners must translate strategic guidance thta is often murky”
important tips w/mil planning
- know your role if part of an OPT
- undertand what functions your warfighting area executes at operational and tactical level.
PLUS
what other assets affect you - know what is required of you within each step of the planning process
- references to guide, staff estimates, orders annexes/appendices, format each step, know who to reach out to for expert witnesses
MCPP versus R2P2
MCPP: SOP is helpful not mandatory.
more time avauilable,
heavy intel needed in each step,
subordinate unit planning slightly affected
R2P2: MEU centric, compressed process, refined/well defined SOP, critical and uses intel/mission planning, process developed prevoiusly
tenets of MCPP
top down planning, single battel concept, integrated planning
tenet of MCPP
“top down planning”
plannign is a CDR driven process
- you need his personal invovlement/guidance and access to him
- battle rhythm can provide an avenue to ensrue top down planning occurs
tenet of MCPP
“single battle concept”
ops/envents in one part of the battlespace ofte4n have profound and consequential effects in other areas/events
- view the battlespace as an invisible entity
- CDR intent provides the context for subordinate units to exercise jugement and initaitive
what does CDR intent provide the context to do?
CDR intent provides the context for subordinate untis to exercise judgement and initiative
tenet of MCPP
“integrated planning”
ccoordinate concurrent planning and synch actions towards a common purpose by all elements of hte force (horizontal and verticle”
rememeber when you are planning and communicating
vertically and horizontally
4 levels of contingency plannign
CDR estimate,
Base Plan,
CONPLAN with or without TPFDD
OPLAN

least amount of detail
- can be a memorandum, command directive, CDR estimate…
Base Plan
describes CONOPS, major forces, concepts of support, anticipated timelines for completion
CONPLAN w/or w/o TPFDD
base wplan with annexes required by JFC and a supported CDR estimation of hte plan’s feasibility
- may produce a TPFDD
OPLAN
complete and detailed joint plan
- contains full descriptions of CONPS< all annexes applicable tot he plan, and TPFDD
- IDs the specific forces, functional support, and resources required to execute the plan and provides close estimations for their flow into theatre
- can be quickly developed into an OPORD

- function focused battalino doesn’t work in wartime where task organization is based on the opertaion
- the general decided to reorganize but make it a goal that restructing once in the OE in theatre
- another leader emphasized that importance of developing habitual relationships between the supporting/ED CDR
a factor on the battlefield that causes things to survive/work well onteh battlefield
80% of problems can be solved w/good relationships dev elope donthe battlefield
- CDRs kow each other’s limitaions/capabiliteis
