Recently published Army planning doctrine describes a comprehensive planning system that includes Army Design Methodology, Military Decision Making Process, and Troop Leading Procedures. However, the current doctrine does not explain how to integrate conceptual and detailed planning, despite recognition that successful planning requires both. Army units at Battalion through Army Service Component Command are beginning to execute the operations process using design for conceptual planning without benefit of doctrine, training, or education in integration. The gap in published doctrine affects the ability of units to execute integrated planning. This handbook reflects observed practices that will support commanders and staffs successful execution of ADM, MDMP, and TLP within the operations process.
