• This template is in line with the processes outlining Phase 3 as presented in
Chapter 4 but does not strictly adhere Appendix 1 to Annex H of the COPD V1.0
dated 17 Dec 10.
• As annotated in Appendix 1, the template is illustrative only – actual briefing
requirements are determined by the Commander.
• This template is intended to assist you with preparation of the mission analysis
briefing, but you are not expected to adhere to it rigidly. Feel free to:
– Add slides where you feel important items of analysis have been omitted
– Delete slides about which you have no significant analysis to brief
– Modify slides to facilitate your own presentation style
• Remember to make adjustments to agenda slides as necessary to support
modifications.
• Be cognizant of the size/length of the brief – presenting more material is not
necessarily conducive to a clearer operational picture

Logistics Planning Assumptions
• List any assumptions that you have made during your analysis of key factors
• Remember that assumptions must be:– Logical– Realistic– Necessary - Planning can not continue unless an
assumption is made– Valid – if assumption turns out to be false, framework
of problem would have to be readdressed.

Centre of Gravity Analysis
Assessed Aim and desired Outcome: What is the actor’s main goal and what conditions does he seek to achieve by his actions?
Centre of Gravity: What is the primary element of power upon which an actor depends to accomplish his operational objectives (to be targeted in an opponent and protect in a friend)?
Critical Capabilities: What are the primary means that enables the COG to gain and maintain dominant influence over an opponent or situation?
Critical Vulnerabilities: What are the weaknesses, gaps or deficiencies in the key system elements and essential conditions, characteristics, capabilities, relationships, specific resources or influences through which the COG may be influenced or neutralised?
Critical requirements: What are those key system elements and essential conditions, characteristics, capabilities and influences required to generate and sustain the COG’s critical capabilities, such as specific assets, physical resources, or relationships with other actors?
Conclusions: Which weaknesses, gaps or deficiencies in the key system elements and essential conditions, characteristics, capabilities, relationships, specific resources or influences could be exploited to change the capabilities and behaviour of the actor and improve conditions in the operational environment?

Assessed Aim and desired Outcome: Political, economic and military dominance of the Zoran Sea region in order to achieve regional hegemony.
Centre of Gravity:
VUL Intervention Forces
Critical Capabilities:1 Deny/delay NATO’s access to the region2 Deter/ threaten Alliance forces/ Partners3 Directly intervene into AUR/PER4 Support the BLA (use as proxy org.)
Critical Vulnerabilities: 3 a 1 Limited avenues of approach to AUR/PER3 b 1 Logistics and sustainment of long term operations3 b 2 Simultaneous ops (AUR/PER) (3c)3 b 3 LOCs and links (phys/influence) with BLA (4a)3 c 1 Joint C2 structure and not capable for efficient joint
operations a Energy exports (In case of VUL’s intervention embargo
should be applied- UNSCR)
Critical requirements: 1&2 Submarines, mines, SOF, Air force
2 a TBMs, WMD (Counter WMD, TBMs capabilities required)
2 b Aggressive Government (Deterrence required, PsyOps )
3 a Armoured land forces
3 b Operational sustainment (logistics, reinforcement)
3 c Effective C2
4 a Training, bases and equipments for the BLA
4 b Effective supply chain (LLOCs)
a Dependence on energy/drugs exports
Conclusions: Prevent VUL from hampering our deployment to the Kama Sea (particularly with their maritime component) in coordination with SAG. TBMD may be vital should VUL launch a TBM attack. Cutting the support (physical links and influence) to BLA will prevent VUL’s proxy to act effectively. Should VUL armed forces attack, operations should focus on limited logistics capacity and joint C2 to degrade ability to conduct/continue operations. Furthermore, military reactions should include the interdiction of their LOCs to prevent resupplies thereby further reducing their sustainment.

• Risk Management• Can we neutralise the source?• Can we reduce our vulnerability to the source of the risk? • Can we limit the consequence and/or severity of the occurrence?• Can we reduce the probability of occurrence?
• Conclusion• Unacceptable - risk management cannot reduce risk to an acceptable level!• Conditionally acceptable - risk can be reduced to an acceptable level by taking actions to:• Modify force disposition/posture/composition.• Adjust current operations.• Prepare branch plan or sequel.• Acceptable, no risk management actions required
