Operational Planning Teams
An operational planning team is a temporary group of officers and staff brought together to solve a specific planning problem, formed during the joint planning process.
- Include members from different functional areas such as operations, intelligence, logistics, communications, and others.
- Represent all perspectives to ensure comprehensive planning.
They are ad hoc planning groups that pull expertise from across a staff to design and refine a plan for a particular operation.
Their primary responsibilities include analyzing the mission, developing courses of action, comparing options, and producing recommendations for the commander.
