JOPP

Today, we started the JOPP (Joint Operations Planning Process).  We are focused on a scenario in Azerbaijan and the security challenges they face.  I have been tasked as the Deputy J5 and responsible for leading the group through the exercise for the next two weeks.  Today we focused on initial planning and did some operational art and design.  I used the JP 5.0 as the reference.  It is definitely different doing joint level exercises.  Glad they made it part of the curriculum.
