This handbook is a pre-doctrinal non-authoritative document that provides information on how JTF and component headquarters might plan for and provide capabilities to tactical units, principally battalion level and below, when they are employed widely dispersed and outside of mutually supporting range of other ground units. Although focused on ground units, there are significant implications for the air and naval components of the joint force as well. The document serves as a bridge between experimentation and current best practices and the potential incorporation of value-added ideas in joint doctrine, education, and training. This handbook is the result of study, concept development, experimentation, and analysis that began in 2005 when the Marine Corps released a white paper entitled A Concept for Distributed Operations. This concept was intended "...to promote discussion and to generate ideas for specific combat development initiatives" in the context of "...the irregular challenges of Small Wars." It focused on enabling small units to function with greater operational initiative and independence. In response to the concept, the Marine Corps Combat Development Command initiated a number of activities, including limited objective experiments conducted by the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory. USJFCOM began a study of joint distributed operations (JDO) based on three "warfighter challenges" (Forcible Entry and Distributed Operations, Lift, and Mobility and Sustainment), which the Marine Corps submitted to USJFCOM J9 in 2009 and 2010 in conjunction with USJFCOM's annual Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Campaign Plan. As part of the USJFCOM JDO project, J9 developed an informal Concept for Joint Distributed Operations in November 2009. This concept and previous Marine Corps efforts informed a USJFCOM-led campaign of experimentation conducted in 2009 and 2010 intended to identify capabilities that could contribute to the successful execution of operations by widely dispersed organizations. This handbook identifies various issues and considerations for conducting these operations based on insights from ongoing operations and experimentation results. USJFCOM's Joint Operating Environment (JOE) provides the future environmental context within which to examine these issues and considerations. The JOE states that "The nature of the human condition will guarantee that uncertainty, ambiguity, and surprise will dominate the course of events." It continues with a conclusion that surprise will be inevitable even as joint forces prepare for a wide range of military operations, and that commanders at all levels will face complex, dynamic, and unpredictable situations for which established concepts and doctrine can provide only a solid foundation as a point of departure. This handbook is based on Service and joint lessons learned data; joint, multi-national, and Service doctrine and procedures; training and education material from CAPSTONE, KEYSTONE, and PINNACLE senior executive education programs; joint and Service exercise observations, facilitated after-action reviews and commander's summary reports; related joint concepts and experimentation results; joint exercises and trip reports; and joint publication assessment reports. The handbook also includes the results of a two-year analysis and experimentation effort requested by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and conducted by USJFCOM, with participation by all the Services and many international partners. The experimentation campaign encompassed an analytical wargame, three constructive simulation efforts, a "human-in-the-loop experiment," and focused seminar sessions with retired senior commanders and currently serving officers with recent operational experience. The experimentation effort focused on stressing potential joint solutions in a distinctly different operational environment.

This handbook describes operational design and its interaction with joint operation planning. It is based partly on joint doctrine contained in JP 5-0 , Joint Operation Planning, and JP 2-01.3, Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment, but it provides more details on operational design than currently exist in these publications. The handbook also highlights “best practices” derived from Service, joint, and multinational operations and joint exercises. In particular, this handbook increases the depth of discussion on operational design by incorporating new design-related ideas developed and refined in Service and joint academic institutions during the past three years. This handbook has two primary purposes. The first is to provide useful details to commanders and planners on joint operational design and its interaction with the joint operation planning process. The second is to stimulate thinking about the best ways to incorporate new, design-related ideas into emerging joint doctrine, training, and education. This handbook provides a platform the joint community can use to examine and debate design issues and establish a common frame of reference for collaboration on assimilating value-added ideas. This handbook focuses on operational design and related aspects of joint operation planning within strategic and operational-level context. The handbook is relevant to joint force commanders (JFC), joint force Service and functional component commanders, and their respective staffs. However, the staff is the intended target audience, especially those involved in planning joint operations.

This book describes how future Army forces, as part of joint, interorganizational, and multinational efforts, operate to accomplish campaign objectives and protect U.S. national interests. It describes the Army's contribution to globally integrated operations, and addresses the need for Army forces to provide foundational capabilities for the Joint Force and to project power onto land and from land across the air, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains. The Army Operating Concept guides future force development through the identification of first order capabilities that the Army must possess to accomplish missions in support of policy goals and objectives.

The publication of the 1982 version of Army Field Manual (FM) 100-5, Operations, introduced to the English-speaking world the idea of an operational level of war encompassing the planning and conduct of campaigns and major operations. It was followed 3 years later by the introduction of the term "operational art" which was, in practice, the skillful management of the operational level of war. This conception of an identifiably separate level of war that defined the jurisdiction of the profession of arms was, for a number of historical and cultural reasons, attractive to U.S. practitioners and plausible to its English-speaking allies. As a result, it and its associated doctrine spread rapidly around the world. The authors argue that as warfare continues to diffuse across definitional and conceptual boundaries and as the close orchestration of all of the instruments of national power becomes even more important, the current conception of campaigns and operations becomes crippling.

This publication describes the theory and philosophy of military planning as practiced by the U.S. Marine Corps. The intent is to describe how we can prepare effectively for future action when the future is uncertain and unpredictable. In so doing, this publication provides all Marines a conceptual framework for planning in peace, in crisis, or in war. This approach to planning is based on our common understanding of the nature of war and on our warfighting philosophy of maneuver warfare as described in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1, Warfighting.

This handbook provides an understanding of the processes and procedures being employed by joint force commanders and their staffs to plan and execute assessment activities. It provides fundamental principles, techniques, and considerations related to assessment that are being employed in the field and are evolving toward incorporation in joint doctrine. Furthermore, this handbook supplements doctrinal publications by providing detailed guidance to conduct effects assessment, task assessment, and deficiency analysis. Commanders, assisted by their staffs and subordinate commanders, along with interagency and multinational partners and other stakeholders, will continuously assess the operational environment and the progress of the operation toward the desired end state in the time frame desired. Based on their assessment, commanders direct adjustments, thus ensuring the operation remains focused on accomplishing the mission. Assessment is applicable across the range of military operations. It offers perspective and insight, and provides the opportunity for self-correction, adaptation, and thoughtful results-oriented learning. Assessment is a key component of the commander's decision cycle, helping to determine the results of tactical actions in the context of overall mission objectives and providing potential recommendations for the refinement of future plans. Assessments provide the commander with the current state of the operational environment, the progress of the campaign or operation, and recommendations to account for discrepancies between the actual and predicted progress. Commanders then compare the assessment against their vision and intent and adjust operations to ensure objectives are met and the military end state is achieved. First, assessment must determine "where we are." The assessment process must examine the data received and determine, in relation to the desired effects, the current status of the operation and the operational environment. This is the most basic and fundamental question that assessment must answer. The second fundamental issue that assessment must address is "so what and why" (i.e., what does the data mean and what is its significance)? To answer this question, the assessment team will examine the measure of effectiveness indicators, both individually and in relation to each other. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, assessment must begin to address the "what's next?" Assessment must combine the analysis of the "where we are" and the "so what" and develop thoughtful, logical guidance for the command's planning efforts. Assessments are interrelated and interdependent. Although each level of assessment may have a specific focus and a unique battle rhythm, together they form a hierarchical structure in which the conduct of one level of assessment is crucial to the success of the next. Theater strategic and operational-level assessment efforts concentrate on broader tasks, effects, objectives, and progress toward the end state, while tactical-level assessment primarily focuses on task accomplishment. This handbook provides users with a pre-doctrinal reference describing how to conduct assessment execution and planning. Its primary purpose is to improve the US military's assessment process through educating the user on basics, best practices, and processes. This handbook was developed based on observations at combatant commands as well as joint task force staffs. It was developed in close coordination with, and used significant input from, both civilian and military subject matter experts. Assessment is a collaborative effort between the joint force, interagency and multinational partners, and other stakeholders. As such, this handbook addresses the necessity for an inclusive assessment process and effort at every level. It also presents some assessment resources developed by other stakeholders and currently in use throughout the world.
