  5. Planning Guidance • Issue the Combatant Commander’s initial guidance to his staff for planning • Produce a planning directive for all planning participants

  6. Information Contained in Combatant Commander’s Planning Guidance • Mission statement and tasks • Assumptions • Special weapons • Political considerations • Force protection/terrorism • Tentative courses of action • Planning schedule • Additional information

  7. The Operational Approach • Foundation for commander’s planning guidance to his staff and other partners. • Model for execution of the campaign or operation and development of assessments for that campaign or operation. • It enables a better understanding of the operational environment and of the problem.

  10. Orders to Initiate Planning • Deliberate Planning -- JSCP = Conceptual Initiation (Refinement or Development of Plans) • Crisis Action Planning – • Alert Order –Execution Planning On POTUS or SECDEF Selected COA • Planning Order – Anticipated COA Selection by POTUS or SECDEF • Warning Order – Initiates Development and Evaluation of COAs by Supported Commander

  11. Warning Order – Purple Solace Purpose – This is a Warning Order. Request USEASTCOM Commander's Estimate with a recommended Course of Action for President and SECDEF consideration by COB tomorrow.

  12. Warning Order – Purple Solace Situation– General Following an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 at 12:05 am Cameroonian time, Mt. Cameroon exploded seven hours later in a cataclysmic eruption causing an ash cloud that rose 25 kilometers into the air in 15 minutes and blanketed 75 km of the countryside with 728 mm of ash. The ash has now drifted approximately 200 km into Gabon. Cameroonian officials believe at least 3,700 people are dead. The GOC reports severe damage to the region South of the volcano, water pollution, air contamination, and civil unrest. The US Ambassador to Cameroon issued a disaster declaration cable and the GOC is requesting assistance from the United States. POTUS has directed COMUSEASTCOM to develop options in response to this crisis.

  13. Warning Order – Purple Solace Situation– Political The potential for further deterioration of the humanitarian situation and threats to internal security within the host nation could be curtailed through quick action to assist the GOC in providing security throughout the country while allowing governmental and non-governmental ( NGO) access to the affected areas and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.

  14. Warning Order – Purple Solace Situation– Host Nation The ability of the GOC to provide host nation support to disaster victims or secure areas for internally displaced persons has been seriously degraded.
