Concrete Experience

Terminal Learning Objective Action: Determine Financial Management Specified, Critical, and Implied tasks pertaining to an Operations Order/ Operations Plan. Conditions: In a classroom environment; students will work as a member of a small group using ADP 5-0, FM 1-06, and the slide presentation for immediate referencing. Students are also required to participate in small group discussions with an awareness of the Operational Environment (OE) variables and factors. Standard: Determination includes: 1. Understanding the Military Decision Making Process 2. List FM critical tasks during operations planning 3. Understanding the importance of FM Running Estimate

Publish and Process

Military Decision Making Process MDMP is an iterative planning methodology to understand the situation and mission, develop a course of action, and produce an operation plan or order. Consists of a series of steps that have various inputs and outputs.

Military Decision Making Process (Cont.) This is where S8s enter MDMP.

FM Planning Using MDMP Must be thoroughly familiar with MDMP Should consider how the COAs require FM support Must tailor FM support to particular phase of operation

FM Critical Tasks During Planning Process Understand unit mission Determine FM resources required Formulate concept of FM support Develop and maintain FM running estimate (primary task) Identify specified and implied tasks Identify constraints and limitations Identify key facts and assumptions Prepare, authenticate, and distribute FM plan Formulate and recommend CCIR

The FM Running Estimate Primary task staff sections perform to support commander Continuous assessment of current and future operations Performed between operations, even when not deployed Key source of FM information that enables mission analysis

FM Running Estimate Template

FM Staff Requirements Tasks by CIs and Phase of the Operation: 1100- CIVPAY issues: overtime, temporary hires 2100- travel: per diem, incidentals, special allowances 2200- transportation: of soldiers and equipment (MILAIR, commercial, ship, rail, FEDEX) 2300- rents and utilities: “over and above” normal operations at home, abroad 2400- printing requirements: safety books, ROE books, “Most Wanted” Cards, tactical copier leases, flyers, propaganda leaflets

FM Staff Requirements (cont.) 2500- specific products and services at home, abroad (lumber, bulk fuel, gravel, pipes, cement, ATVs, horse blankets, saddles, SUVs) 2600- supplies, parts, POL, by type and for what. Army and Non Army managed. 3100- equipment needs; MTOE shortages filled or operation unique (body armor, radios, Clamshell tents, generators)

WARNO Scenario On order, the 1st BCT, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), will deploy a 500 Soldier Task Force (TF) in support of Multinational Forces Observer (MFO) peace keeping efforts in Ukraine for six months. All units, fire teams and above, will be guard tower/ UN observer certified with individual and crew served weapons by XVIII Airborne Corps. Upon deployment, the TF is attached to MFO HQ, Rome, Italy. MFO specific train up, certification, deployment, redeployment, and recovery operations are reimbursed by the European Union, NATO, and the United States of America. XVIII Airborne Corps is the controlling headquarters for US Forces.
