Operational Planning: A Status Report on Knowledge Acquisition with the U.S. Army War College

Abstract

During the periods of December 1985 to March 1986 and December 1986 to March 1987, a series of knowledge-acquisition sessions were held involving scientists of the US Army Center for Command, Control and Communications of the Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) and military planners of the US Army War College (AWC). The goal of the joint effort between these organizations was to identify the knowledge and methods experienced planners bring to bear when planning for military operations at the corps command level. This technical report summarizes the results, as concurred upon by the CECOM scientists and AWC planners, of this joint collaboration thus far. The content of this document should be considered as information requiring further analysis. It does not recreate the flow of the sessions, nor summarize the discussions that led to the development of the ideas presented. It does attempt to provide a coherent description of the ideas developed.
