IncorrectQuestion 1 0/10 pts In Dr. Bert Frandsen’s article, “An Introduction to Operational Design,” he says that defining or framing the problem is an important step in operational design because it shapes the proposed solutions. Which of the following correctly describes defining the problem?

Defining the problem begins with developing a graphic and narrative description that captures the history, current state and future goals of relevant actors in the operational environment. Defining the problem begins with identifying strategic objectives resulting in attainment of the strategic end state that should exist after the conclusion of a campaign or operation. Defining the problem begins with how the US instruments of national power and other actions should address the various factors that comprise the gap between current and desired systems. Defining the problem begins with a review of tendencies and potentials of all the concerned actors and identifying tensions among the existing conditions and the desired end state. This answer is incorrect. Please review Lesson 1, Objective 1. Question 2 10/ 10 pts There are nine steps to the general methodology in operational design, and these steps are not necessarily sequential. Which of the following lists FOUR of the nine correct steps? Understand the tactical direction and guidance, understand the tactical environment, define the problem, and develop courses of action Understand the strategic direction and guidance, understand the operational environment, define the problem, and develop plans and orders Understand the strategic direction and guidance, understand the operational environment, define the problem, and develop options (the operational approach) |dentify assumptions needed to continue planning, develop options (the operational approach), refine operational approaches, and develop courses of action This answer is correct. Question 3 10/ 10 pts Both operational art and operational design are important for successful planning. Which of the following best describes either operational design or operational art?

Operational art supports a recursive and ongoing dialogue concerning the nature of the problem and an approach to achieve the desired objectives. Operational art is one of several tools available to help the JFC and staff understand the uncertainty in a complex operational environment. Operational design is the cognitive approach by commanders and staffs to develop strategies, campaigns and operations to employ military forces. Operational design is the analytical framework that underpins planning. This answer is correct. Question 4 10/ 10 pts Crafting a problem statement is critical to solving the problem. What does the J7 Insights and Best Practices Focus Paper on Design and Planning identify as another characteristic of a well-constructed problem statement? The problem statement should mirror the mission statement because they are conceptually the same. be shelved to help the commander with creativity in completing the COA decision brief. pose solutions to make mission analysis and COA development run more smoothly. account for current circumstances without trying to predict what future actions may occuir. This answer is correct. IncorrectQuestion 5 0/10 pts In the design and planning continuum, design deals with problem setting while planning deals with problem solving. Which statement is correct regarding design and planning roles? Design directs planning, preparation, execution and assessment while planning develops understanding. iIs a commander-driven process while planning is a commander-driven dialogue. questions assumptions and methods while planning develops products. patterns and templates activity while planning is conceptual and paradigm setting.

Commanders encourage discourse and leverage dialogue and collaboration to identify complex, ill-defined problems. Commanders distinguish the unique features of their current situations to enable development of innovative or adaptive solutions. All answers are correct. Commanders use the knowledge and understanding gained from operational design to provide commander’s guidance. This answer is correct. Question 7 10/ 10 pts The article by Grant Martin, “A Tale of Two Design Efforts (and why they both failed in Afghanistan),” discusses several lessons from his experience with operational design. Which of the following is a lesson Maj Martin concluded from his design efforts. A leader needs to be comfortable inserting his/her own opinions versus merely managing the meeting. has to be involved in a personal way by leading, supporting and providing direction. has to build a design team with operations personnel from select staff function within the US forces. can conduct design from a headquarters because a full design effort means planning, not action. This answer is correct. Question 8 10/ 10 pts Harry Yarger describes the strategic environment as always in a greater or lesser state of dynamic instability or chaos, which is characterized by four earmarks (VUCA). Which of the following is NOT an earmark listed by him? Uncertainty Clarity

Volatility Ambiguity This answer is correct. Question 9 10/ 10 pts In the Celestino Perez, Jr., article, “Errors in Strategic Thinking: Anti-Politics and the Macro Bias,” he discusses four biases in American strategic thinking. Distinguish the correct bias(es) below. The Macro Bias equates to the military believing their role is to fight wars versus thinking about political outcomes. The Levels Bias is a derivative bias relating to the centrality that levels play in thinking about strategy. All answers are correct. The Compartmentalization Bias integrates expert perspectives in their analyses, including stakeholders and scholars. This answer is correct. IncorrectQuestion 10 0/10 pts According to the article, “Avoiding Strategic Misfortune: A Framework for Defense Leaders” by Charles Allen and Jeffrey Groh, the US’ enduring interests provide the foundation for our defense strategy. Which of the following lists those foundations?
