…Specific weights of effort should be avoided due to the difficulty in precisely measuring effects of air, space, and IO, and to allow maximum flexibility in planning the application of airpower. However the CPD can use…

…The result is a translation of the total weight of air effort into the total number or sorties or missions required to achieve desired effects. Although not complete until the MAAP is produced, force allocation also…

…This has two aspects that are relevant to the air tasking cycle: allocation of targets and allocation of forces. Weaponeering and allocation function together to produce the master air attack plan (MAAP); see “products of the…

…The air and space contribution to operational design/campaign planning is the JAOP. This planning may take place independently or in support of deliberate planning and may continue through CAP. The three processes are interrelated. All…
