  1. Introduction to theJoint Military Appreciation Process (JMAP)

  2. References ADFP 5.0.1 – Joint Military Appreciation Process (JMAP) ADDP 5.0 – Joint Planning ADDP 2.0 – Intelligence ADDP 3.0 – Campaigns & Operations ADDP 4.2 – Support to Ops (Log)

  3. Aim To create a basic familiarity with the Joint Military Appreciation Process (JMAP) doctrine.

  4. 4 Key Takeaways • JMAP is the only “Joint” planning process • Requires Commander’s input at all stages • Requires constant Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE) updates to remain current • Needs the input of all staff functions to be successful

  5. Preliminary Scoping (PS) Provides context for the conduct of the JIPOE and JMAP. Should normally cover: Commander’s initial guidance Strategic level direction Intelligence update Status of current operations Time constraints and planning considerations Force preparation and capability requirements

  6. JIPOE: Steps Analysis of the Operational environment • Define the Operational Environment • Describe the Operational Environment Effects Analysis of the Adversary • Evaluate the Threat (inc En COG Matrix) • Determine Adversary Courses of Action (COA)

  7. What is JMAP? Logical decision-making process that incorporates all staff functions towards developing the most appropriate plans Basis for joint planning within the ADF • (Immediate and Deliberate) Interoperable with allied forces • Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) (US) • The Estimate Process (UK) • Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) (USMC)

  8. Operational Level JMAPis predominantly used at the Operational level and covers: • Creation of Areas of Operation (JFAOs) • Courses Of Action (COAs) • Force Assignment • Logistic Feasibility/Sustainability • Command and Control • Risk Management • The Concept Of Operations (CONOPS)

  9. Mission Analysis (MA) Mission Analysis ensures that: • Commander and planning staff clearly understand the Superior Commander’s intent, one and two levels up. • Planning is focused within the boundaries of that intent. • The mission and tasks are identifiedthat are essential to successfully satisfy the superior Commander’s intent and achieve the end state.

  10. Mission Analysis: Steps 1. Review the situation • Identify and analyse Superior Commander’s intent and develop own mission • Identify and analyse tasks • Determine freedom of action • Identify critical facts and assumptions 6. Draft Commander’s guidance

  11. MA Step 1: Review the Situation Critical to the formulation of the Mission: • Review the operational environment and environment effects (JIPOE) • Review lessons learned • Review own forces (COG Analysis) • Analyse time factors

  12. MA Step 2: Identify and Analyse Superior Commander’s Intent and develop own mission What guidance has been given by the Superior Commander/Government – Other Governments Usually articulated by Purpose, Method and Endstate Purpose: To restore Whiteland Sovereignty Method: Overwhelming Force by air and sea to remove Red from Whiteland Endstate: Red unable/unwilling to obtain Whiteland by military action

  13. MA Step 2: Identify and Analyse Superior Commander’s Intent and develop own mission • Who? • What? • Where? • When? • Why? Eg. Someone is to do something in a certain area by a time in order to achieve something.

  14. Example Mission Who Blue ForceWhat are to defeat Red Force military operations Where in AO Bell When from 01 Jun 2014 Why in order to maintain Blue sovereignty

  15. MA Step 3: Identify Tasks Specified:(and Essential) - Protect Blueland interests - Ensure Safety of Blueland personnel and AFN - Prevent Enemy Fighter Deployment Implied: - Force preparation and concentration - Conduct Air Defence of JFAO - Deploy SF to White IsIand - Conduct Rear Area Security (RAS) E E E E E

  16. MA Step 4: Determine Freedom of Action LIMITATIONS Constraints:(Things we have no control over) • Weather • Time • Distance Restrictions: (Placed by higher authority – may be changed) • Adherence to the Rules of Engagement (ROE) • Minimise collateral damage • Notice To Move (NTM) of units

  17. MA Step 4: Determine Freedom of Action RISK • Most operational risks cannot be eliminated entirely. • Measured against the operational requirements and mission. • Expressed in terms of a trade-off continuum = cost-benefit analysis. • Risk can usually be effectively reduced – risk mitigation. [But what is the cost?]

  18. MA Step 5: Identify Critical Facts and Assumptions Facts: • Red Forces have invaded White Island • Red strike aircraft have range to strike over White Island • UN has indicated they will not become involved Assumptions:(to be turned into facts through CCIR process) • The international community will support our operations • No third party direct involvement on either side • USA will provide us with CIS, Intelligence and Log support • Red soldiers are susceptible to IO (PSYOPS)

  19. MA Step 6: Commander’s Guidance At the final stage of Mission Analysis, the Commander is briefed and then delivers formal guidance for the following JMAP steps. This guidance can be given by the Commander or provided by planning staff for commander’s approval.

  20. COA Dev: Steps • Confirm Centre of Gravity (COG) • Review COG analysis • Develop broad COA • Develop decisive points (DP) • Develop lines of operation (LOO) • Develop detailed COA • Test COA

  21. COA Dev Step 1: Confirm COG Definition: A characteristic, capability or locality from which a military force, nation, alliance or other grouping derives its freedom of action, strength or will to fight.

  22. COA Dev Step 2: Review COG Analysis CC1 CR CV COG CV CR CV CC1 CR CV CV CR COG CC2 CV CR CV CV CC3 CR CV CR CV

  23. COA Dev Step 2: Review COG Analysis CV CR CV CC1 CR CV CV CR COG CC2 CV CR CV CV CC3 CR CV CR CV

  24. COA Dev Step 3: Develop Broad COAs Broad COAs are now created: • Direct Approach (Comd guidance) • Indirect Approach (Comd guidance) • Review of Adversary’s: • Most Likely COA (JIPOE) • Most Dangerous COA (JIPOE) • Review of wider aims and intent (WNGO) • Commander’s Guidance

  25. COA Dev Step 4: Develop Decisive Points (DP) Definition: A geographic place, key event, critical factor, or function that, when acted upon, allows a commander to gain a marked advantage over an adversary or contribute materially to achieving success. DPs are created from the amalgamation of like tasks (in time or space) elicited from: Specified, implied & essential tasks Blue actions to attack Red COG Blue actions to protect own COG

  26. COA Dev Step 4: Develop Decisive Points (DP) • A DP will articulate: • A purpose, • Outcome, • Task, or • Effect • Expressed in past tense • Must be measurable in terms of time, space or magnitude • Does not negate the requirement to achieve Specified Tasks

  27. COA Dev Step 5: Develop Lines of Operation DP1 - RED FREEDOM OF UNOBSERVED MANOEUVRE DENIED DP2 - FORCE CONCENTRATION AND PREPARATION COMPLETEDDP3 - RED SLOC TO WHITE ISLAND DENIEDDP4 – RED ALOC TO WHITE ISLAND DENIED COG OPERATIONAL ENDSTATE DP 3 DP 1 DP 2 DP 4 TIME

  30. COA Dev Step 7: Test COA • Test each COA developed for: • Suitability • Feasibility • Time • Space • Means • Limitations • Acceptability • Sustainability • Distinguishability

  31. Course Of Action Analysis COA Analysis identifies the advantages and disadvantages of each COA developed in the previous step of the JMAP. The key to COA Analysis is the war game process which validates each COA to determine workability, strengths and weaknesses. The output is a number of improved and viable COA.

  32. COA Analysis: Steps 1. War game set-up 2. Determine war game start state 3. Select war game method 4. Select war game recording method 5. Conduct war game

  33. Decision & CONOPS Development This is the final step in the JMAP. It involves the COMD making a decision on which COA is to be developed into a CONOPS. The approved CONOPS forms the basis for developing the OPORD.

  34. Synchronisation The JMAP has been used by the Planning Group to create the CONOPS.After it is approved by CDF, the main plan is synchronised with supporting plans.The OPORD (with annexes) is issued and the CJTF prepares to execute.

  35. 4 Key Takeaways • JMAP is the only “Joint” planning process • Requires Commander’s input at all stages • Requires constant Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE) updates to remain current • Needs the input of all staff functions to be successful
