This book was released on 2015 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint/Interagency SMARTbook 1: Joint Strategic & Operational Planning (Planning for Planners) was developed to assist planners at all levels in understanding how to plan within this environment utilizing the Joint Operational Planning Process; an orderly, logical, analytical progression enabling planners to sequentially follow it to a rational conclusion. By utilizing this planning process, which is conceptually easy-to-understand and applicable in all environments, any plan can come to life. This new revision of Planning for Planners incorporates the latest thinking on Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX), Global Force Management (GFM), Campaign Planning and Assessment Fundamentals. Planning for Planners has been utilized since 2007 by war colleges, joint staffs, Services, combatant commands and allies as a step-by-step guide to understanding the complex world of global planning and force management. Paramount to planning is flexibility. The ultimate aspiration of this book is to help develop flexible planners who can cope with the inevitable changes that occur during the planning process. *** Find the latest edtion of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***

This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint Publication (JP) 5-0, Joint Planning 16 June 2017 This edition of Joint Publication (JP) 5-0, Joint Planning, reflects current doctrine for conducting joint, interagency, and multinational planning activities across the range of military operations. This keystone publication is part of the core of joint doctrine and establishes the planning framework for our forces' ability to fight and win as a joint team. As our military continues to serve and protect our Nation in the complex environment of global competition and conflict, we must continually refine our doctrine and update our planning practices based upon those experiences and lessons learned. Our understanding of operations across the spectrum of conflict and the information needed by senior leaders to make strategic and operational-level decisions, developed during the planning process has evolved. This update to JP 5-0 ensures all our operations benefit from the application of our doctrinal planning processes. Likewise, the practice of Adaptive Planning and Execution has continued to evolve since the last publication of JP 5-0. This publication provides necessary updates to that process, as our combatant commands have continued to develop the ability to provide military options for contingencies. Therefore, we seek to develop tools that allow for more rapid development, review, and refinement of plans at the accelerated pace the world requires today. Given that the operational environment is not simple or static, adaptation and flexibility are necessary in planning and execution. This edition of JP 5-0 seeks to provide joint force commanders and their component commanders with processes that allow for that flexibility and the ability to plan and develop plans for an uncertain and challenging environment. Our Armed Forces serve to support our national leadership in attaining national objectives. I encourage leaders to ensure their organizations understand and use joint doctrine and this Joint Publication in particular as you continue to assist our Nation in advancing its enduring interests.

Download or read book Military Design Thinking written by Aaron P. Jackson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the newly emergent field of military design thinking, how it has been developed inside and outside of military doctrine, and the paradigms that underlie its key thinkers and methodologies. From the emergence of its initial methodologies in the late 1990s, military design thinking’s development rapidly accelerated in the mid-2000s in response to perceived failures of existing military doctrine and practice to adapt to the wars of the early 21st century. To establish a foundation for exploring the significance of the challenge military design thinking presented to dominant approaches to warfare, the early chapters in the book examine the ontology and epistemology of military doctrine, which is defined as a written expression of a military’s institutional belief system regarding how to wage war. They also explain how attempts to incorporate military design thinking into doctrine ultimately led to its assimilation into this belief system, requiring military design thinkers to continue to explore and develop the field outside of doctrine. Since the mid-2010s, non-doctrinal military design methodologies have become increasingly prominent within several Western militaries, including the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and several European militaries. Later chapters offer an exploration of the paradigms underlying non-doctrinal as well as doctrinal design methodologies. This book highlights how the field has evolved, shows how military design thinking differs from its ‘civilian’ equivalents developed in fields such as commerce and business management, and discusses how it may evolve in the near future. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, security studies, and international relations, as well as to military professionals.

Download or read book The Sociology of Military Science written by Colonel (US Army Ret.) Chris Paparone and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking work challenges modernist military science and explores how a more open design epistemology is becoming an attractive alternative to a military staff culture rooted in a monistic scientific paradigm. The author offers fresh sociological avenues to become more institutionally reflexive - to offer a variety of design frames of reference, beyond those typified by modern military doctrine. Modernist military knowledge has been institutionalized to the point that blinds militaries to alternative designs organizationally and in their interventions. This book seeks to reconstruct strategy and operations in "designing ways" and develops theories of action through multifaceted contextualizations and recontextualizations of situations, showing that Military Design does not have to rely on set rational-analytic decision-making schemes, but on seeking alternative meanings in- and on-action. The work offers an alternative philosophy of practice that embraces the unpredictability of tasks to be accomplished. Written by Colonel Paparone (U.S. Army, Ret., PhD) with a special chapter by two active duty officers, it will appeal to all in military and security studies, including professionals and policymakers.

Download or read book Leaders for Tomorrow Challenges for Military Leadership in the Age of Asymmetric Warfare written by Marina Nuciari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of bipolarism, the concept of asymmetric warfare, and of asymmetric conflict in general, has been increasingly applied with regard to armed forces activities and tasks. This book presents the findings of comparative empirical research conducted in selected military units by a group of distinguished experts on military organization, who hail from the eight participating countries: Bulgaria, Cameroon, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, the Philippines and Spain. It discusses remarks made by military leaders with extensive experience in the field regarding current doctrines on military leadership and their applicability in the field, as well as proposals and suggestions for new directions. “It is a complex relation, always based on respect and politeness, but often with mismatched interests.” (Army Colonel). “It makes you realize that there is a cultural gap. You must firstly understand who you are going to relate to, and the culture of these people, and then try to establish a certain kind of relationship. Often the platoon commander states his objective and must try to establish a relationship, contact with the village chief.” (Army Lieutenant, Platoon Commander). “[In Afghanistan] We had meals with the locals, sometimes the food didn’t taste good, but you had to eat it if you wanted to be welcomed back again” (Army Captain, Company Commander). These are just some of the many voices stemming from the ground in diverse international asymmetric conflict theatres (in Iraq, in Kosovo, in Afghanistan...), comments by military officers, commanders at different hierarchical levels, asked to reflect on their experiences as military leaders in crisis response operations. Military professionals, and military leaders in particular, perceive themselves as facing ambiguous situations that require an update in their professional training, and new skills to confront unexpected and unpredictable factors. Drawing on lived experiences, the book offers insights into what a new kind of leadership means when leaders have to cope with diverse and unclear missions. It also addresses leadership styles and behaviours, as well as individual adaptive behaviours on the part of military leaders, with special reference to middle and middle-high level ranks, such as captains, majors and colonels. Given its scope, the book will appeal not only to military professionals and military affairs scholars and experts, but also to readers interested in gaining a better understanding of the challenges that international expeditionary units are facing in crisis areas around the globe.

Download or read book The Resurrection of Adaptive Planning written by Jon C. Wilkinson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolution in adaptive planning, initiated in 2003, has yet to succeed. The disappointing results of this initiative are due to flawed paradigms that anchor the planning community in a tactical-level process that is misapplied at the operational level of warfare. The flawed paradigms are: 1) There is no difference between the planning process used at the tactical and operational levels, 2) The process for crisis action planning is the same as deliberate planning, just executed on a shorter timeline, 3) The more dynamic the environment, the more important a detailed plan becomes, 4) OPLAN development is compatible with mission command, and 5) Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES) specialists create the Time Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) after planners write the plan and determine the requirements. This paper proposes a revised planning process, and offers five paradigms that are more supportive of adaptive planning at the operational level of warfare.

This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of Joint Publication (JP) 5-0, Joint Operation Planning, reflects the current doctrine for conducting joint, interagency, and multinational planning activities across the full range of military operations. This keystone publication forms the core of joint warfighting doctrine and establishes the framework for our forces' ability to fight as a joint team. As our military continues to serve and protect our Nation in complex conflicts across the globe, it is appropriate that we continue to refine our doctrine and update our planning practices based upon experience and hard won knowledge. As a result of relevant joint force experience and knowledge, the practice of operational design and its relationship to operational art and the joint operations planning process is reflected in this revision of JP 5-0. Likewise, the practice of Adaptive Planning and Execution has continued to evolve since the last publication of JP 5-0. This volume provides necessary updates to that process, as our combatant commands have continued to develop their ability to provide military options for contingencies and we seek to develop tools that allow for more rapid development, review, and refinement of plans at the accelerated pace we find the world requires today. Given the operational environment is not simple or static, adaptation and flexibility are necessary in planning and execution. This edition of JP 5-0 seeks to arm joint force commanders with processes that allow for that flexibility. I encourage leaders to ensure their organizations understand and use joint doctrine and this manual in particular as you continue to assist our Nation in advancing its enduring interests.

Download or read book Strategy and the Military written by Wolfgang Peischel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One facet of a future military science would lie in giving advice to the political leadership on the strategic orientation of the state in questions of long-term se curity and a second facet in the scientific underpinning of military operational command. Both task qualities would have to be thought of as an organic unity because the escalation chain for controlling vital threats in an emergency ranges from advice on the strategic purpose to operational implementation planning to tactical implementation, and frictions can only be avoided, at least to a large extent, if both strategic advice and operational implementation re main in one hand. Military science sees itself neither in competition nor in opposition to security policy research, but as its necessary dialectical complement. However, in order to be able to make a substantial contribution to such an overall national syn thesis, an institutionalised military science is required that qualitatively equals the standard at a university and thus enjoys the same academic recognition as the civilian disciplines. A future military science can only provide the indispensable and unsubsti tutable benefit for the security of society if it starts from an understanding of strategy that is based on long-term purpose and not on the short- to medium term implementation of already predetermined decisions. It develops its strate gic advisory contribution on the basis of a specifically military assessment logic derived from abstracted leadership principles, i.e. developed from military lead ership practice. The added value of this propaedeutic approach, lies in demonstrating that the military can provide the above benefit, given a certain understanding of strategy and a corresponding thematic and structural orientation of military science. This propaedeutic introduction is intended as an offer, aimed at students of mil itary science or civil security studies and at future strategic decision-makers or decision-preparers from the military, political, private-sector corporate leader ship and operational organisations.
