JKO Course Descriptions
as well as our own. This course provides a fundamental understanding of interorganizational and interagency coordination
and multinational operations to the Joint Force Commander (JFC) and staff in order to organize the Joint Task Force (JTF) and
execute the mission in a manner which ensures unity of effort. Essential considerations are presented for coordination, cooperation,
and teamwork among other government agencies (OGAs)-of the US Government (USG), non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and Combatant Commands (COCOMs) involved in joint operations.
1 hour(s)

• Describe multinational operations with the structure of a coalition or alliance
JFC 100: Module 5 Joint Operation Planning J3OP-US1145* N
The successful conduct of military operations relies on comprehensive and thorough planning. More specifically, joint operation
planning relies on procedures in the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES), joint operation planning process
(JOPP), and Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) system. JOPES, JOPP, and APEX share the same basic approach and
problem-solving elements, such as mission analysis and course of action development. JOPP applies to deliberate planning
and crisis action planning (CAP) in APEX and JOPES and can be viewed as complementing the overall approach to planning.
This course presents an overview of joint operation planning conducted by a joint force commander (JFC) and staff. Joint planning
is currently in the process of adopting an adaptive planning framework. Thus it is important to know the basics of the original
JOPES and the new APEX System. Other topics include key steps of JOPP and the integration of deployment planning into
this process. 2 hour(s)
Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:
• Identify the basic tenets of operational-level planning
• Describe joint force command (JFC) integration into the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) proce
dures

environment and to craft a concept of the operation.
• Describe each step of the joint operation planning process, deliberate planning, campaign plans, and contingency
plans.
• Define the steps in the crisis action planning process.
• Identify the joint force commander's role in operational-level planning
• Recall how joint planners utilize APEX to formulate and execute plans according to assessed operational require
ments.
JFC 200 Module 8: Intelligence Operations at the Operational Level J3OP-US1156* N,S
