Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German reserves had arrived far too late to smash the enemy landing by counterattacks. By the time they arrived the enemy had disembarked considerably stronger forces and himself gone over to the attack.' Field Marshal Erwin Kommel The inability of the Germans to bring their reserve forces forward was due to the Allies' air operations prior to D-Day. The USAF's Joint Doctrine Air Campaign Course advocates a five stage planning process for air asset employment at the Operational level. The five stages are: Stage 1, an intelligence preparation of the theater of operations; Stage 2, objective determination; Stage 3, strategy identification; Stage 4, identifying centers of gravity; Stage 5, the air campaign plan. This process was used by the USAF to build the air operations during Desert Shield and Desert Storm and the success of those operations served as a foundation for the USAF's contention that this five stage planning process is appropriate. One war does not validate a planning process. To validate this process, I have applied the framework to the Allied air operations prior to the Normandy invasion. A valid framework for planning must be applicable to other operations. The success or failure of those operations should be re-enforced or identified by this planning framework. Overall, the Allies used a similar process prior to Normandy. The JDACC five stage planning process provides a solid foundation for air asset Operational planning. Each of the stages must be accomplished to effectively employ airpower. There are not any gaps in the framework. These stages are independent of technology, equipment, training and valid regardless of service doctrine. The JDACC planning guide is an excellent tool for Operational planning for both deliberate and crisis action planning.

Download or read book Campaign Planning Operational Art Primer AY 07 Joint Advanced Warfighting School JAWS Joint Operation Planning Process written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is published to assist Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS) students at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) during their Operational Art and Campaigning instruction. It is intended to supplement, not replace, Joint Doctrine publications. This primer contains information from several source documents and should not be used solely to quote Joint Doctrine or DOD policy, nor does it relieve the student from reading and understanding Joint Doctrine as published. The Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and the Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) share the same basic approach and problem-solving elements, such as mission analysis and course-of-action development. The combination of JOPES and JOPP promotes coherent planning across all levels of war and command echelons, whether the requirement is for a limited, single-phase operation such as noncombatant evacuation or for a multi-phase campaign involving high intensity combat operations. JOPES formally integrates the planning activities of the entire JPEC during the initial planning and plan refinement that occurs both in peacetime and when faced with an imminent crisis. While JOPES activities span many organizational levels, the focus is on the interaction which ultimately helps the President and SecDef decide when, where, and how to commit US military capabilities in response to a foreseen contingency or an unforeseen crisis. JOPP is a less formal but proven analytical process, which provides a methodical approach to planning at any organizational level and at any point before and during joint operations. The focus of JOPP is on the interaction between an organization's commander, staff, the commanders and staffs of the next higher and lower commands, and supporting commanders and their staffs to develop a joint operation plan (OPLAN) or operation order (OPORD) for a specific mission.
Download or read book The Lessons and Non Lessons of the Air and Missile Campaign in Kosovo written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-08-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conclusion of a war typically signals the beginning of a flood of memoirs and instant campaign histories, many presenting the purported, but often dubious lessons of the recent conflict. Cordesman is careful to avoid such pitfalls in this detailed and closely reasoned analysis, and helps us to begin to understand the implications of this dramatic conflict on its own terms. Based on a combination of official and unofficial (but always authoritative) sources, he builds a thorough case for the true lessons of NATO's first battle fought within Europe. After consideration of the historical, major political, and strategic factors that set the stage for the Kosovo campaign, Cordesman critically examines the actual effectiveness of the NATO air campaigns, both in Kosovo and Serbia proper. Operations in this rugged part of Europe were difficult, and compounding the challenges of terrain and weather were the conflicting national agendas within the Allied coalition that seriously hampered focused and decisive action by NATO. Although Milosevic ultimately conceded defeat, all of these factors played an important role in limiting the intensity and shaping the military outcome of the campaign, and the likely political and strategic results were far from certain. Cordesman unflinchingly concludes, that the air campaign over Kosovo exposed deep fault lines within and among the NATO countries and fundamental flaws in the way the West wages war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work features the fresh thinking of twenty-eight leading authors from a variety of military and national security disciplines. Following an introduction by Lt. Gen. James Dubik, Commander I Corps, U.S. Army, the anthology first considers the general question of whether there is a distinctly American way of war. Dr. Colin Gray's opening essay "The American Way of War: Critique and Implications" provides a state of the question perspective. Sections on operational art, with writers addressing the issues in both conventional and small wars; stability and reconstruction; and intelligence complete the volume. Among the well-known contributors are Robert Scales, Mary Kaldor, Ralph Peters, Jon Sumida, Grant Hammond, Milan Vego, and T.X. Hammes. The anthology is part of a larger Rethinking the Principles project, sponsored by the Office of Force Transformation and the U.S. Navy to examine approaches to the future of warfare. Footnotes, index, and a bibliographic essay make the work a useful tool for students of war and general readers alike.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines several fundamental aspects of operational design and how the process of operational design relates to strategy, centers of gravity, operational art and the Joint Operation Planning Process. It first analyzes various theories of operational design as well as the elements of operational design. It then discusses the integration of strategy into the construction of operational design and shows how strategy affects the identification of enemy centers of gravity. Next, it discusses the proper application of operational design during the Joint Operation Planning Process. Additionally, it examines use of a cognitive map to enhance development of an operational campaign and validate courses of action to ensure they achieve all military objectives. Lastly, it proposes broad changes for joint doctrine and the application of operational design."--Abstract.
