This module will cover Step 7 of the Campaign Planning Process.
• Aim of Step:– Synthesize the planning information produced to
date & prepare an OPLAN to be submitted for approval.
– Once approved by the Lead Nation National Authorities, an OPORD is developed & issued to the components for the first period of multinational activity for the crisis response situation.
• Starting Conditions:– Lead Nation National Authorities, thru the
Supported Strategic Commander, have provided their guidance based upon the CCTF Commander’s Estimate.
3UNCLASSIFIED
Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
•Basic Process:–OPLAN 1 is submitted through the Supported Strategic Commander to the Lead Nation National Authorities.
–OPORD 1 is drafted for issuance to CTF Components.
–Execution of the OPORD is assessed & additional SEs are prioritized for follow-on operations (as contained in subsequent OPLANs & OPORDs).
4UNCLASSIFIED
Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
•Ending Conditions: –An integrated OPLAN & OPORD cycle within the CTF HQ & command is established.
–Planning responsibilities are clearly identified & adhered to.
•End Product of the Step:–OPLAN 1–OPORD 1–Any Contingency Plans required for possible branches & sequels.
5UNCLASSIFIED
Preliminary NotesPreliminary Notes
• OPLANs:– Outline DPs (conditions) & prioritized SEs.– Within a Concept of Operations (CONOPS).– With supporting component missions & objectives.
• OPORDs:– Derived from OPLANS with specific tasks.– With supporting component mission and objectives.– “ready to execute plan”.
• Contingency Plans:– OPORD (task-oriented) format for rapid execution (e.g.,
branches & sequels) for the current Campaign Schematic (Lines of Operations & DPs).
– Written in OPLAN format (conditions) for contingencies not requiring rapid execution (“be prepared to” missions).
• Fragmentary Orders (FRAGOs):– FRAGOs refine & adjust current operations to address
evolving situations after an OPORD has been issued.– FRAGOs are time sensitive & normally limited in scope.

Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORDStep 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORDPreliminary ActionPreliminary Action
•CTF planning responsibilities of the key planning organizations are reinforced & executed within an organized & managed planning process. The key organizations are:– C5 PLANS: Plans (conditions oriented)– C3 FOPS: Future Operations (task oriented)
– C3 COPS: Current Operations (situational awareness oriented – e.g., “battle tracking”)

Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
• The CTF C5 PLANS prepares the OPLAN 1 for review & approval by the CCTF.
– Potential branches & sequels are identified that may require contingency plans.
– The CPG ensures relevant components are appropriately resourced to execute the suggested activity & coordination measures are identified.
• CTF C3 staff has the lead regarding production of the OPORD in coordination with the CTF Component Commanders who have identified the “tasks”.
9UNCLASSIFIED
Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
• Should time permit, or complexity demand, the product can be validated though a ‘rock drill’.
– The ‘rock-drill’ assists in identifying risks, necessary decision points, & confirms understanding of respective responsibilities.
– This rock drill, supported by the Red Team, addresses probable tactical activity for final refinement of OPORD details.
10UNCLASSIFIED
Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
• The completed OPLAN is submitted to the respective Lead Nation Supported Strategic Commander & National Authorities for approval.
– Some work may be required before approval is granted & staffs must be ready to answer any concerns / issues national governments may have.
– Ongoing parallel planning efforts with the strategic levels will prevent the majority of issues that might arise between the operational & strategic levels.
– Additionally, integration of the NCE into the CTF planning process will underscored the ownership of the OPLAN by the participating nations within the CTF effort.
11UNCLASSIFIED
Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
• C5 PLANS conducts a hand-off brief to the C3 FOPS
• C3 FOPS prepares the OPORD 1 for approval by the CCTF & issuance to the CTF Components.
– OPORD 1 is developed in coordination with the CTF Components
• Subsequent instruction, if necessary, is issued as a FRAGO, provided the components’ mission statements have not changed.
– If there is a mission change, this would require a new OPORD.
12UNCLASSIFIED
Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
Follow-On Action after OPORD 1: • Coalition / Combined Effects
Management Team (CEM Team) assesses the execution of the OPORD & prioritizes additional SEs follow on operations (& OPLANS / OPORDs).
– This initiates the process by which the Campaign Plan moves further toward the Operational End State.
– The process of identifying the next set of tactical tasks begins again for the NEW prioritized SEs.
• The process repeats itself as OPLAN 2 moves into OPORD 2.
13UNCLASSIFIED
Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Step 7 – Prepare OPLAN / OPORD Main ActionsMain Actions
• The CPG must have close coordination with Components & other key CTF elements:
– Multinational Coordination Center (MNCC).– Civil Military Operations Center (CMOC).– Coalition / Combined Logistics Coordination
Center (CLCC).– CTF Multinational Media Pools .– Special Access Planning cells (Deception,
Special Ops, etc.) to build an integrated & coordinated multinational plan.
