Evaluation framework for unified command plans a documented briefing

This report presents a formal process for evaluating Unified Command Plans (UCP) that assesses the likely performance of competing alternative UCPs in the near future by evaluating them against specific performance criteria. The performance criteria are effective use of military power, efficiency, responsiveness, crisis adaptability, simplicity, alliance responsibilities, regional expertise, and organizational interface. For demonstration purposes, the report presents four illustrative UCPs that bound the range of alternative approaches, along with three alternative world view/strategy pairs with which to compare the illustrative UCPs. The evaluation of the illustrative UCPs reveals that such an approach would be valuable in highlighting sources of disagreement as an aid to reaching conclusions about the alternatives. As an aid to discussing the adaptability of plans, the report presents alternative long-range futures in which the world is dramatically different from what is expected in the near future and in which the U.S. strategy might become more activist. Review of these alternatives indicates that any UCP should be designed with considerable emphasis on the ability to learn and adapt to changing conditions.

  • "The Unified Command Plan (UCP) is issued by the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, under the authority of the President of the United States to establish the separate commands for the control of the armed forces of the United States. The UCP is derived, or should be derived, from the National Military Strategy of the United States and established the mechanism by which that strategy will be carried out. Although not its primary purpose, the UCP affects relations with other countries by the way in which it establishes commands that conduct military-to-military affairs with those countries. It also effects the rest of the U.S. government by establishing certain lines of communications between commands and other governmental agencies."@en
