Creating a Comprehensive Decision Analysis Playbook for the JFACC (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249592044)

Operational decision analysis is one of the most preeminent challenges facing the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) in campaign planning. Furthermore, while the JFACC utilizes operational art and doctrinal processes to design a campaign, there exists no means to record the results of decision analysis to use later during execution. Operational Design and use of the Cognitive Map provides a perfect tool for the JFACC to use when designing an air campaign. This paper analyzes the application of the Cognitive Map to the air campaign planning process with the goal of producing a Decision Support Matrix the JFACC should use in formulating preplanned decisions and subsequently use for emergent opportunities. These matrixes become the JFACC's playbook.
