| Situation:: During the last lesson we discussed the
development of the strategic concept (CSC).
For plans that require a TPFDD we will complete the third formal
function in contingency planning which is plan development. The product of plan development is a
documented reviewed plan with a TPFDD.
Plan development involves the active participation of all commands/agencies
involved with the plan, especially the Service components. A most important document that initiates
plan development and force planning is the TPFDD letter of instruction (LOI). This document provides detailed guidance
for the preparation of the TPFDD and is extremely important for the
successful and timely completion of the plan. |
