Phase Zero Contracting Operations - Strategic and Integrative Planning for Contingency and Expeditionary Operations
Abstract
Contracting in expeditionary operations is not new.
What is new is the scope and magnitude of the roles
that contracting and contractors play in today’s military
operations. Lack of planning and sound contract
integration at the strategic level leads to inefficiencies,
ineffectiveness, and, in many cases, outright fraud. Annex
W, Operational Contract Support Plan, is the overall
operations plan for Geographic Combatant Commands
and the Services within the Adaptive Planning and
Execution System framework. The authors propose an
Integrated Planner and Executor (IPE) model for operational
contract support and its integration into Annex W
and existing war planning systems by congressionally
mandating, authorizing, and funding IPE positions within
Service structures. The IPE would be vested with the
authority to establish, monitor, and manage Annex W.
