Master Mobilization Plan
Abstract
This publication is the basic Plan that directs and coordinates mobilization planning by all agencies of the Department of Defense. Mobilization is defined as the process whereby a nation makes the transition from a normal state of peacetime preparedness to a war-fighting posture. It involves the assembly, organization and application of the nation's resources for national defense. The mobilization process encompasses all activities necessary to prepare systematically and selectively for war. The Master Mobilization Plan is the first level of mobilization planning. It identifies mobilization responsibilities and describes the related tasks to be performed both in peacetime in preparation for a crisis and at the time of mobilization. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Military Departments and Defense Agencies will develop their own mobilization plans that are consistent with and support the responsibilities and tasks in this Plan. These are Level II plans. The Level II plans for OSD staff elements will likely be contingency independent, whereas certain Defense Agencies and the Military Services planning might include some contingency specific considerations.
