Joint Operations Planning Course is a synoptic look at how the US armed forces support the achievement of national strategic aims in a changing strategic environment. It discusses: National security structure and organization, the Joint Strategic Planning System, capabilities and limitations of the DoD Armed Services and Special Operations forces, crisis action procedures in time-sensitive situations, and the challenges of dedicating military force in complex-humanitarian operations. The course ends with a humanitarian assistance staff planning simulation with seminar members assigned to key positions. The course will be of particular interest to students studying strategic studies, international relations, political science, and for students and faculty associated with the military.
