Provide the student

with an

understanding of theMPF planning

process

Overview

Planning Methodologies

Deliberate/Contingency and Crisis Action Planning

Initiating Directive Specific actions required upon it issue

Other planning considerations


4/42

MPF - 08 4

Introduction

MPF operation is Naval in character

But dependent on support from JointDeployment Community (JDC)

AMC

JOPES

Requires continuous, coordinated, timely

and concurrent planning


5/42

MPF - 08 5

Introduction

Cannot just focus on Deployment

Operations

Deployment ops based on employment,

CSS and sustained operation planning

MPF commanders must deliberately plan

for employment and sustained ops


6/42

MPF - 08 6

Deliberate Planning

Looks at future, hypothetical militaryoperations

Involved Joint Planning and ExecutionCommunity (JPEC)

Planning cycle can be as long as twoyears

Deliberate Planning

Service component develop supporting

contingency plans

Operations in specific geographical region

General deployment plans


10/42

MPF - 08 10

Deliberate Planning

Contingency plans serve as basis for

Crisis Action and Execution Planning

Assessment of crisis continues

Intel and collection efforts continue to

verify/refute assumptions

Major changes require reassessment orreexamination


11/42

MPF - 08 11

Crisis Action Planning

(CAP) Time sensitive

JPEC uses CAP to respond to crisis or

to refine deliberate plans

May approximate those missions

deliberately planned for


12/42

MPF - 08 12


Time Sensitive Planning Process sixphases

Situation development Crisis assessment (WARNING ORDER)

Course of action (COA) development

COA selection (ALERT ORDER)

Execution planning

Execution (EXECUTION ORDER)

8 decisions before MPF planning can continue:

Mission must be defined

Define command relationships Tactical CONOPS ashore

Arrival and Assembly CONOPS

Marshaling and Movement CONOPS

Control measures

Special considerations

Security


15/42

MPF - 08 15

Mission

Tells us

General area of ops

Required tasks of the MAGTF

General time period for deployment

Required time for ops capability

Time constraints on deployment ops Estimated duration of tactical ops


16/42

MPF - 08 16

Command Relationships

Minimize C2 confusion during planning,

deployment, and execution phases of

an operation

MPF - 08 17

Tactical CONOPS Ashore

Derived from MAGTFs

mission MAGTF CO conducts

mission analysis

Coordinated with

higher authority


18/42

MPF - 08 18

Arrival and Assembly

CONOPS Dictated by

Mission

Geography

Topography

Available facilities

Tactical CONOPS ashore


19/42

MPF - 08 19

Arrival and Assembly

CONOPS Developed by MAGTF CO in

coordination with the CNSE and

COMPSRON Basic sequence for arrival and assembly

Selection of offload and arrival sites

Command and control procedures Offload/throughput priority of MPE/S


20/42

MPF - 08 20

Deployment Concept

Sea movement

Closure estimates

Track

Enroute stops

Escort requirements

Air movement

Sequence of deployment

Loading

Routes

Enroute support bases

Aerial Refueling

RDD/EAD/LAD

-Developed to support Tactical CONOPS and

Arrival and Assembly CONOPS it addresses:


21/42

MPF - 08 21

Control Measures

Preclude interference/delays in the

arrival and assembly of deploying

forces Marshaling controls

Specify marshaling areas and APOE(s)

Operational security

Ground movement to the APOE

Load procedures


22/42

MPF - 08 22

Special Considerations

Specify security responsibilities

Assign areas of responsibility ashore

Designate coordinating authorities, mainsupply route

MAGTF commander responsible for

Prioritization and use of arrival areas and roads

Air traffic control

Logistics support activities


23/42

MPF - 08 23

Force Protection

Supported Unified Commander hasoverall responsibility for security

Defense of the MPF Ships enroute and in AAA

Enroute support base/facilities

Arrival Airfields MAGTF element assembly areas

Port/beach facilities

Initiating Directive

Order for commander to plan for and

prepare to conduct an MPF operation

Commences MPF crisis action planning

Issued by Unified, Sub-unified, Service

Component Commanders or CJTF

Sometimes not issued Warning order
