Military Studies As With Any Essay

In has taken more than two centuries to develop the U.S. Army's Military Decision Making Process, and while the combination of traditional Army forces (infantry, artillery, etc.) has been incorporated into it, the MDMP maintained its traditional parochial attitude toward interagency operations. But with new threats facing the United States, necessity demanded a new approach to military planning and operations; something that could incorporate all military forces to their most effective levels. This has become known as the Joint Operation Planning Process, and while similar to the MDMP, is more flexible, allows for the allocation of more resources, and is more concerned with adapting to new situations than to maintaining control over a commanders actions.And while the MDMP limited itself to traditional army forces, the JOPP allows for the incorporation of all of the military assets of the United States.
