Campaign Planning: Tools of the Trade. Third Edition
Abstract
"Campaign Planning: Tools of the Trade" is designed to be used as a handbook for developing campaigns at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The handbook provides working definitions of campaign concepts and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for campaign planners. Key concepts include critical reasoning and creative thinking; ends, ways, and means; center of gravity analysis; developing distinct courses of action; logical lines of operations; targeting techniques; wargaming; and assessment. Although all of the concepts and TTPs in the handbook are based on joint and U.S. Army doctrine, they represent "one" way to approach campaign planning rather than "the" way that must be followed. The intent is to provide a starting point for developing campaigns, with particular emphasis on ensuring unity of purpose in planning and executing them.
