ENCLOSURE D
FORMAT AND CONTENT OF CONPLAN
(with and without a TPFDD) AND FUNCPLANs
1. Purpose. This enclosure prescribes the format and minimum content
of CONPLANs without a TPFDD, CONPLANs with a TPFDD, and
FUNCPLANs.
2. CONPLAN. A CONPLAN is an operation plan in an abbreviated
format that would require considerable expansion or alteration to
convert it into an OPLAN, campaign plan, or OPORD. A CONPLAN
contains, as a minimum, the Plan Summary, Basic Plan, Annexes A
through D, J, K, Z, and those additional annexes and appendixes
deemed necessary by the CINC to complete planning. When included,
prepare an annex in the format prescribed in Enclosure C of this volume.
Include only the detail believed necessary. CONPLANs are generally
developed to meet common type missions that may develop rapidly and
require implementation of like action but under markedly different
circumstances (for example, non-combatant evacuation operations).
Unless specified in the JSCP, detailed support requirements are not
calculated and TPFDD files are not prepared. Similar to OPLANs;
phasing, centers of gravity, and commander’s intent enhance a clear
understanding of the forces required and when they have to be deployed
to achieve the national objective. A CONPLAN may also be required
where the primary purpose is force movement planning in support of
alliances. In this case campaign planning principles should be
considered and incorporated to the maximum extent possible.
Recognizing, however, that the level of detail contained in these plans is
dependent upon similarly detailed alliance planning which these
CONPLANs support, a campaign orientation may not be possible in all
cases.
3. CONPLAN With TPFDD. A CONPLAN with a TPFDD is the same as a
CONPLAN except that it requires more detailed planning for phased
deployment of forces. Detailed planning may be required to support a
contingency of compelling interest and critical to national security but is
not likely to occur in the near term. Developed TPFDDs must be feasible
in terms of both logistics and transportation and are sourced in
accordance with JSCP Supplemental Instructions 3110.03 and 3110.11.
4. FUNCPLAN. Prepare a FUNCPLAN using the same format as a
CONPLAN without a TPFDD. FUNCPLANs involve the conduct of
military operations in a peacetime or permissive environment. These
plans are tasked within the JSCP for operations such as nuclear weapon

recovery or evacuation, logistics, communications, or continuity of
operations, but may be developed to address functional peacetime
operations such as disaster relief, humanitarian assistance,
peacekeeping, or counterdrug operations.
5. Substantive Guidance. The substantive guidance on operation
planning in Annexes to JOPES Volume II, Enclosure C, and the
Supplement to JOPES Volume II, is applicable to all CONPLANs and
FUNCPLANs.

acceptability. Operation plan evaluative review criterion. The
determination whether the contemplated course of action is worth the
cost in manpower, material, and time involved; is consistent with the law
of war; and militarily and politically supportable.
(Joint Pub 1-02)
accompanying supplies. Unit supplies that deploy with forces. (Joint
Pub 1-02)
accounting line designator. A five-character code consisting of the target
desired ground zero designator and the striking command suffix to

acoustic warfare. Action involving the use of underwater acoustic energy
to determine, exploit, reduce or prevent hostile use of the underwater
acoustic spectrum and actions which retain friendly use of the
underwater acoustic spectrum. There are three divisions within acoustic
warfare:
1. acoustic warfare support measures. That aspect of acoustic
warfare involving actions to search for, intercept, locate, record and
analyze radiated acoustic energy in water for purpose of exploiting
such radiation. The use of acoustic warfare support measures
involves no intentional underwater acoustic emission and is generally
not detectable by the enemy.
2. acoustic warfare countermeasures. That aspect of acoustic
warfare involving actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemy’s
effective use of the underwater acoustic spectrum. Acoustic warfare
countermeasures involve intentional underwater acoustic emissions
for deception and jamming.
3. acoustic warfare counter-countermeasures. That aspect of
acoustic warfare involving actions taken to ensure friendly effective
use of the underwater acoustic spectrum despite the enemy’s use of
underwater acoustic warfare. (Joint Pub 1-02)
adequacy. Operation plan evaluative review criterion. The determination
whether the scope and concept of a planned operation are sufficient to
accomplish the task assigned. (Joint Pub 1-02)
aeromedical evacuation. The movement of patients under medical
supervision to and between medical treatment facilities by air
transportation.

area of interest. That area of concern to the commander, including the
area of influence, areas adjacent thereto, and extending into enemy
territory to the objectives of current or planned operations. This area
also includes areas occupied by enemy forces who could jeopardize the
accomplishment of the mission. (Joint Pub 1-02)
area of operations. An operational area defined by the joint force
commander for land and naval forces. Areas of operation do not typically
encompass the entire operational area of the joint force commander, but
should be large enough for component commanders to accomplish their
missions and protect their forces. (Joint Pub 1-02)
area of responsibility.
1. The geographical area associated with a
combatant command within which a combatant commander has
authority to plan and conduct operations. 2. In naval usage, a

area of the command. Planning activities exclusively associated with the
preparation of operation plans, operations plans in concept format,
campaign plans, and operation orders (other than the single integrated
operation plan) for the conduct of military operations by the combatant
commanders in response to requirements established by the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Contingency planning for joint operations is
coordinated at the national level to support Secretary of Defense
Contingency Planning Guidance, strategic requirements in the National
Military Strategy, and emerging crises. As such, joint operation planning
includes mobilization planning, deployment planning, employment
planning, sustainment planning, and redeployment planning procedures.
Joint operation planning is performed in accordance with formally
established planning and execution procedures. (Joint Pub 1-02)
Joint Operation Planning and Execution System. A continuously
evolving system that is being developed through the integration and
enhancement of earlier planning and execution systems: Joint Operation
Planning System and Joint Deployment System. It provides the
foundation for conventional command and control by national- and
theater-level commanders and their staffs. It is designed to satisfy their
information needs in the conduct of joint planning and operations. Joint
Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) includes joint
operation planning policies, procedures, and reporting structures
supported by communications and automated data processing systems.

joint operations area. An area of land, sea, and airspace, defined by a
geographic combatant commander or subordinate unified commander, in
which a joint force commander (normally a joint task force commander)
conducts military operations to accomplish a specific mission. Joint

command, subordinate unified command, joint task force, or subordinate
functional component (when a functional component command will
employ forces from more than one Military Department), which includes
members from the several Services comprising the force. These members
should be assigned in such a manner as to ensure that the commander
understands the tactics, techniques, capabilities, needs, and limitations
of the component parts of the force. Positions on the staff should be
divided so that Service representation and influence generally reflect the
Service composition of the force.

materiel planning. A subset of logistic planning and consists of a four-
step process:
a. requirements definition. Requirements for significant items must
be calculated at item level detail (i.e., national stock number) to
support sustainability planning and analysis. Requirements include
unit round out, consumption and attrition replacement, safety stock,
and the needs of allies.
b. apportionment. Items are apportioned to the combatant
commanders based on a global scenario to avoid sourcing of items to
multiple theaters. The basis for apportionment is the capability
provided by unit stocks, host-nation support, theater prepositioned
war reserve stocks and industrial base, and continental United States
Department of Defense stockpiles and available production. Item
apportionment cannot exceed total capabilities.
c. sourcing. Sourcing is the matching of available capabilities on a
given date against item requirements to support sustainability
analysis and the identification of locations to support transportation
planning. Sourcing of any item is done within the combatant
commander’s apportionment.
d. documentation. Sourced item requirements and corresponding
shortfalls are major inputs to the combatant commander’s
sustainability analysis. Sourced item requirements are translated
into movement requirements and documented in the Joint Operation
Planning and Execution System database for transportation feasibility

format (OPLAN) or as a concept plan (CONPLAN). The CONPLAN can be
published with or without time-phased force deployment data (TPFDD)
file.
a. OPLAN. An operation plan for the conduct of joint operations that
can be used as a basis for development of an operation order
(OPORD). An OPLAN identifies the forces and supplies required to
execute the CINC’s Strategic Concept and a movement schedule of
these resources to the theater of operations. The forces and supplies
are identified in TPFDD files. OPLANs will include all phases of the

operational control. Transferable command authority that may be
exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of
combatant command. Operational control is inherent in combatant
command (command authority). Operational control may be delegated
and is the authority to perform those functions of command over
subordinate forces involving organizing and employing commands and
forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative
direction necessary to accomplish the mission. Operational control
includes authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations
and joint training necessary to accomplish missions assigned to the
command. Operational control should be exercised through the
commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally this authority is
exercised through subordinate joint force commanders and Service
and/or functional component commanders. Operational control
normally provides full authority to organize commands and forces and to
employ those forces as the commander in operational control considers
necessary to accomplish assigned missions. Operational control does
not, in and of itself, include authoritative direction for logistics or matters
of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training. Also

a. action control. The objective is to eliminate indicators or the
vulnerability of actions to exploitation by adversary intelligence
systems. Select what actions to undertake; decide whether or not to
execute actions; and determine the "who," "when," "where," and "how"
for actions necessary to accomplish tasks.
b. countermeasures. The objective is to disrupt effective adversary
information gathering or prevent their recognition of indicators when
collected materials are processed. Use diversions, camouflage, con-
cealment, jamming, threats, police powers, and force against
adversary information gathering and processing capabilities.
c. counteranalysis. The objective is to prevent accurate inter-
pretations of indicators during adversary analysis of collected
materials. This is done by confusing the adversary analyst through
deception techniques such as covers. (Joint Pub 1-02)

collateral damage may occur. A protracted engagement is possible.
low risk. Mission success is virtually assured, even if
executed under somewhat unfavorable conditions. Probability of a
protracted engagement is minimal. Minimal casualties and/or collateral
damage expected. (Upon approval of this manual, this term and its
definition will be included in Joint Pub 1-02.)

declaration of national emergency, not more than 200,000 members of
the Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), of whom not
more than 30,000 may be members of the IRR, for not more than 270
days to meet the requirements of any operational mission. Members
called under this provision may not be used for disaster relief or to
suppress insurrection, but may be used to respond to the use or
threatened use of weapons of mass destruction. This authority has
particular utility when used in circumstances in which the escalatory
national or international signals of partial or full mobilization would be
undesirable. Forces available under this authority can provide a
tailored, limited-scope, deterrent, or operational response, or may be
used as a precursor to any subsequent mobilization. Also called PRC.

time-phased force and deployment data refinement. For both global and
regional operation plan development, the process consists of several
discrete phases of time-phased force and deployment data (TPFDD) that
may be conducted sequentially or concurrently, in whole or in part.
These phases are Concept, Plan Development, and Review. The Plan
Development Phase consists of several subphases: Forces, Logistics, and
Transportation, with shortfall identification associated with each phase.
The Plan Development phases are collectively referred to as TPFDD
refinement. The normal TPFDD refinement process consists of
sequentially refining forces, logistics (nonunit-related personnel and
sustainment), and transportation data to develop a TPFDD file that
supports a feasible and adequate overlapping of several refinement
phases. The decision is made by the supported commander, unless
otherwise directed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For
global planning, refinement conferences are conducted by the Joint Staff
in conjunction with US Transportation Command. TPFDD refinement is
conducted in coordination with supported and supporting commanders,
Services, the Joint Staff, and other supporting agencies. Commander in
