Campaign Planning Handbook (AY09)
The Campaign Planning Handbook is a tutorial on campaign planning at the theater level of war. It distills in one document all discussions of theater planning found in service and joint doctrine. It begins by describing the similarities and differences between campaign planning during peacetime, crisis, and conflict. It then provides a step by step description of the planning activities that must be conducted in order to develop a campaign plan. A summary follows that ties it all together.
The Campaign Planning Handbook is intended for the faculty and students of the U.S. Army War College as an entry tool to teach theater level campaign planning. It is also given to the attendees of the Joint Flag Officer Warfighting Course (JFOWC) in order to inform them of the latest trends and techniques in planning. It is not intended as a substitute for official service and joint doctrine because, unlike official doctrine, it is not authorative.
