As the former Chief of Plans, G-5 for U.S. Army Europe and Africa, I spent considerable time thinking about how to integrate Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) / Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) into the Theater Army planning process.
Here are the MDO questions I asked my operational planning team (OPT) during the military decision-making process (MDMP) at the Theater Army level, designed to inform operational and resourcing risks and opportunities. Many of these questions are tied to the Army’s Support to Other Services (ASOS) and Executive Agent (EA) responsibilities that require more deliberate thinking to inform the Geographic Combatant Command (GCC), Joint Component Commands, and provide specificity to Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) on Army resourcing and capabilities needed to accomplish the Theater Army’s mission. I believe these are important questions because they illustrate the unique role the Theater Army plays that Army Corps and Division headquarters generally do not face. The following questions were framed as a Theater Army serving as a combined and joint land force component command (CJFLCC).
