1. Within the seven primary Joint Planning Process (JPP) steps, each of them align with an Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) planning function. From the listed answers, determine the correct JPP step and APEX planning function alignment. COA analysis and wargaming and COA approval align under the APEX plan development planning function. COA development and COA comparison occur under the APEX concept development planning function. Plan or order development takes place during the APEX strategic guidance planning function. Planning initiation and mission analysis occur during the APEX plan assessment planning function. 2. The Joint Planning Process (JPP) is an orderly, analytical set of logical steps. Which of the following statements is not a characteristic of JPP? It is a prescriptive tool to be used by planners. 3. Operational art and design and the Joint Planning Process (JPP) are complementary tools of the overall planning process. Which statement below best describes how operational art and operational design interface with the JPP? All answers are correct. The relationship between the application of operational art and design and JPP con-tinues throughout the planning and execution of the plan or order. Operational design provides an iterative process that allows for the commander’s vi-sion and mastery of operational art to help planners.
Supported by the staff, the commander gains an understanding of the operational en-vironment during the JPP initiation step. 4. Joint planning begins when an appropriate authority recognizes potential for military capability to be employed in support of national objectives or in response to a potential or actual crisis. Who has the authority to initiate planning by deciding to develop military options? At the strategic level, that authority lies with the Secretary of Defense. 5. The article, “Centers of Gravity from the ‘Inside Out’” by Jan Rueschhoff and Jonathan Dunne starts out with an overview of centers of gravity (COG). Which of the following is most correct regarding a COG? A COG is the hub of all power and movement on which everything depends. 6. Joint planning begins when an appropriate authority recognizes potential for military capability to be employed in support of national objectives or in response to a potential or actual crisis. Which of the following is most correct regarding planning initiation in this process? Combatant commanders, subordinate commanders, and supporting commanders can initiate planning on their own authority when they identify a planning requirement not directed by higher authority. 7. In the article, “Centers of Gravity from the ‘Inside Out’,” written by Jan Rueschhoff and Jonathan Dunne, they identify Critical Factors Analysis (CFA) as providing a sound analytical framework to assist planners in the analysis and identification of COGs and assisting in operational planning. From the answers below, determine the correct use of CFA. CFA helps planners derive decisive points (DP), but DPs are not synonymous with critical factors. CFA can be applied across lines of operations with the exception of counterinsurgency operations. CFA stands alone, independent of the “connective tissue” between many other doctrinal processes.
