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

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

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

maintain dominant influence 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

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
3) J’accepte de prendre le risque de MM mais veux me prémunir contre celui de NN.
4) Ceci doit me permettre de contribuer efficacement à objectif stratégique SS
conjointement à l’action de AA et ainsi à l’atteinte de l’état final recherché.
