Joint Planning Group for the UEx

<p>What capabilities are required for the Unit of Employment X (UEx) to plan joint operational level campaigns and operations? The proposed UEx staff structure in the Unit of Employment Operations White Paper Version 3.5 does not appear to be optimally organized or resourced to be effective in planning operational level campaigns as a Joint Task Force Headquarters. The purpose of the monograph is study the fundamentals of campaign planning and make a recommendation on the additional organizational capabilities the UEx must have to be successful at the joint operational level of war. The study examines the fundamentals of campaign planning in order to establish campaign planning challenges to analyze the capabilities of the UEx as described in its approved operating concept. The study then examines the structure and capabilities of the UEx and compares them against the campaign planning challenges to establish capability gaps between what is required to plan campaigns and what the UEx is capable of doing. Finally the study addresses the outstanding capability gaps by recommending changes to the UEx staff structure. The study recommends one area in which the UEx needs additional organizational planning capabilities--the creation of a standing Joint Planning Group with a permanent core of planners to provide an organizational foundation for campaign planning.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
