JSCP Structure
  • Introduction/Strategic Overview
  • 12 Top Priority Plans
  • CPG Directed Plans Unique to Specific Commands
  • Plans Common to all COCOMs or in Support of Treaty Agreements


  • Introduction


  • Strategic Context & Global Priorities


  • Global Defense Posture


  • Campaign Plan Requirement


  • General Planning Requirements


  • Functional Planning Guidance


  • Regional Planning Guidance


  • Implementation Guidance


  • Assessment Guidance



  • TS CJCSI (separate document)

Campaign Planning Construct

20
Security Cooperation/Shaping Activities
  • The COCOM campaign plan is the mechanism for organizing, integrating and prioritizing security cooperation activities
21
Security Cooperation Plans
  • Consists of a series of defense activities conducted by combatant commanders with allies, friends, and potential coalition partners and designed to support the U.S. defense strategy, advance regional defense policy goals, and, in the immediate term, enable the war on global terrorism.
22
Security Cooperation
Purpose
  • Enable sustained global campaign against terrorism
  • Improve deterrent capabilities of U.S. forward forces
  • Improve allied capabilities & interoperability with U.S. forces
  • Encourage allied leadership
  • Support defense transformation
23
Security Cooperation
Goal
  • Advance mutual security arrangements
  • Link DoD Strategic direction with those of its allies and coalition partners
  • Build capabilities of allies/friends for self-defense
  • Improve allied competency
  • Conduct multinational combined operations
  • Advance military transformation of US and allies

Campaign Planning Efforts
26
Force and Resource Management
  • Force Apportionment Guidance for Contingency Planning
    • 3 Bins
  • Force Allocation Guidance [to the Global Force Management Board (GFMB)] for operations and shaping activities
    • 5 Tiers of Priorities
  • Global Resource Priorities for DOD Components with Global Support roles
27
New Apportionment Construct
28
Flexible Deterrent Options (FDOs)
  • Options short of deploy-to-fight that are intended to deter crisis development or escalation
  • Four types corresponding to the elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, military and economic)
  • Military FDOs primarily use active, in-place forces and theater lift (brigade, squadron, ESG/MEU (SOC), Carrier Strike Group)
29
Flexible Deterrent Options
30
Operation Plan (OPLAN)
  • Situations are sufficiently critical to national security that detailed prior planning is required
  • Would tax total resources made available for planning.

32
Concept Plan (CONPLAN)
  • Contingency not sufficiently critical to national security to require detailed prior planning
  • Probability of occurrence in JSCP time frame low
  • Planning flexibility desired
