Factor Deduction Conclusion
A significant factual statement of
information known to be true that has
operational implication.
What is the current state of affairs or
trends?
The implications, issues or
considerations, derived from fact(s) that
have operational significance.
So what is the significance of the
factor?
The outcome or result reached that
requires action in planning or further
analysis.
So, what can or should be done?
Existing SPODs have limited
throughput capacity
Identified ports are not adequate
for rapid deployment of large
heavy forces
Pre-deployment of enabling forces
to maximize/expand SPOD capacity
is required (action, forces)
SPOD usage requires detailed de-
confliction with HN/IOs/NGOs
(operational action, liaison)
Need ready alternatives (risk, branch,
CCIR)
Overall conclusion of the domain. What matters for the operation, at
commander’s level

KEY FACTORS & CONCLUSIONS
 Tension between need for HA and limited interference with regional
disputes.
 The swift improvement of humanitarian situation in TP has to be considered
as our primarily raison d’être thus our legitimacy to act. It mainly relies on
external actors’ capability and willing to provide food and care to refugees
camps.
 Message : Any opponent’s deliberate actions towards refugees may trigger a
legitimate response from us (red line)
 DC : Perception of refugees alleviation must be broadcasted
 Effect : A direct logistic support to refugees camp is to be envisaged
 CoA : Any interference in local disputes might hampered the Humanitarian
situation
 Action / Message / DC : Evidence of genocide intent has to be brought to
media to lower support from external actors

outcomes that results from the operational environment or the
capabilities and actions of the main actors.
 A ce stade de l’étude, seuls l’identification du risque, sa source et sa
conséquence peuvent être présentés. La sévérité, la probabilité, les
mesures d’atténuation et donc les conclusions seront dépendants du
mode d’action choisi.

Operational Risk Assessment
Source Consequence for Severity Probability
- Actions of the
opponent(s).
- Actions of friendly
forces.
- Operational
environmental factors.
- Overall mission
- Line of operation
- Decisive Points
- Desired effect.
Extremely high - could result failure to accomplish
mission.
High - could result in failure to accomplish one or more
objectives.
Moderate - could result in failure to meet criteria for
success or exceed time, space, forces/actors limits
Low - minimal impact on mission accomplishment
- High
- Moderate
- Low
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

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?
CONCLUSION:
Which weaknesses, gaps or deficiencies in the key system elements and essential conditions, characteristics, capabilities,
relationships, specific resources or influences could be exploited or should be protected.

INITIAL INTENT
L’intention initiale est personnelle au commandant de la force. Elle exprime sa viqion sur
COMMENT l’opération doit se dérouler. Il la rédige lorsqu’il estime qu’il dispose de
suffisamment d’éléments d’analyse (compréhension du QUOI). Elle est rarement
disponible au moment du MAB, qui présente la synthèse de l’analyse, à partir de laquelle
l’intention sera conçue.
Elle inclut:
(1) Conditions qu’il veut créer.
(2) Principales actions opératives devant être conduites en parrallèle ou en séquence.
(3) Identification de l’effort principal (initial) pour l’opération.
(4) Risques pouvant être acceptés ou devant être refusés.
(5) Mise en relation de son intention avec les objectifs stratégiques et l’état final
recherché.
Pour remplir la mission reçue et donc atteindre les objectifs opératifs fixés, mon intention
est de :
1) Obtenir les conditions décisives AA et BB en parallèle puis dans un deuxième temps
les conditions décisives CC et DD.
2) Dans ce contexte, l’effort principal initial portera sur la ligne d’opération JJ / la
région LL
