d. Continual Reassessment. Commanders and staffs derive relevant assessment
measures during the planning process and reevaluate them continuously throughout
preparation and execution. They consider assessment measures during mission analysis,
refine these measures in the JFC’s initial planning guidance and in commander and staff’s
estimates, wargame the measures during COA development, and include MOEs and MOPs
in the approved plan or order.
2. Assessment and the Levels of War
a. Assessment occurs at all levels and across the range of military operations. Even
in operations that do not include combat, assessment of progress is just as important and can
be more complex than traditional CAs. As a general rule, the level at which a specific
operation, task, or action is directed should be the level at which such activity is assessed and

preparation, and execution. This properly focuses assessment and collection at each level,
