Operations Overview The levels of war are doctrinal perspectives that clarify the links between strategic objectives and tactical actions

Operations Overview Strategy is the art and science of developing and employing armed forces and other instruments of national power in a synchronized fashion to secure national or multinational objectives.

Operations Overview 2-5. The operational level of war is the level at which campaigns and major operations are conducted and sustained to accomplish strategic objectives within theaters or areas of operations (AOs). It links the tactical employment of forces to strategic objectives.

Operations Overview -Battles can affect the course of a campaign or major operation. -Tactics is the realm of close combat, where friendly forces are in immediate contact and use direct and indirect fires to defeat or destroy enemy forces and to seize or retain ground. - The operational-level headquarters sets the terms of battle and provides resources for tactical operations. -Tactical success is measured by the contribution of an action to the achievement of operationally significant results. - Battles and engagements that do not contribute to the campaign objectives, directly or indirectly, are avoided.

Operations Overview Operational art: helps commanders use resources efficiently and effectively to achieve strategic objectives. -Helps commanders understand the conditions for victory before seeking battle.. Without operational art, war would be a set of disconnected engagements with relative attrition the only measure of success. - Requires commanders who can visualize, anticipate, create, and seize opportunities. I

Operations Overview -The strategic orientation at the operational level: - Requires commanders to look beyond the immediate situation. -Create the most favorable conditions possible for subordinate commanders, whose tactical activities execute the campaign. -Anticipate the results of battles and engagements, and prepare to exploit them to obtain the greatest strategic advantage

Operations Overview Operational commanders: -Continually communicate with their strategic superiors to obtain direction and ensure common understanding of events.. -Create the conditions for the conduct of battles and engagements, while the results of battles and engagements shape the conduct of the campaign. (Tactical results influence the conduct of campaigns. )

Operations Overview - Operational art is translated into operation plans through operational design. -A well-designed plan and successfully executed operation shapes the situation for tactical actions. - A flexible plan gives tactical commanders freedom to seize opportunities or react effectively to unforeseen enemy actions and capabilities..

Operations Overview Without tactical success, a campaign cannot achieve its operational goals. -What is possible at the tactical level? - Design a plan that: - Maximizes chances for the success in battles -Produces the desired operational end state. A coherent operational design: - Links tactical successes, battles and engagements -Doesn’t waste precious resources on fights that do not lead to operational goals..

Operations Overview Operational art requires commanders to answer the following questions: What military (or related political and social) conditions must be produced in the operational area to achieve the strategic goal (ends)? What sequence of actions is most likely to produce that condition (ways)? How should resources be applied to accomplish that sequence of actions (means)? What are the likely costs or risks in performing that sequence of actions (risk management)?
