Joint Doctrine Publications The successful conduct of military operations requires an intellectually rigorous, clearly articulated and empirically-based framework of understanding that gives advantage to a country’s Armed Forces, and its likely partners, in the management of conflict. This common basis of understanding is provided by doctrine. UK doctrine is, as far as practicable and sensible, consistent with that of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The development of national doctrine addresses those areas not covered adequately by NATO; it also influences the evolution of NATO doctrine in accordance with national thinking and experience. Endorsed national doctrine is promulgated formally in JDPs.1 From time to time, Interim JDPs (IJDPs) are published, caveated to indicate the need for their subsequent revision in light of anticipated changes in relevant policy or legislation, or lessons arising out of operations. Urgent requirements for doctrine are addressed through Joint Doctrine Notes (JDNs). To ensure timeliness, they are not subject to the rigorous staffing processes applied to JDPs, particularly in terms of formal external approval. Raised by the DCDC, they seek to capture and disseminate best practice or articulate doctrinal solutions which can subsequently be developed in due course as more formal doctrine. Alternatively, a JDN may be issued to place some doctrinal markers in the sand, around which subsequent debate can centre. Details of the joint doctrine development process and the associated hierarchy of JDPs are to be found in JDP 0-00 Joint Doctrine Development Handbook. 1 Formerly named Joint Warfare Publications (JWPs).

JDP 5-00 Campaign Planning has been archived and is not the authoritative reference. Preface 1. Purpose. Joint Doctrine Publication (JDP) 0-01 British Defence Doctrine (BDD) (4th Edition) describes crisis management (a cross-government endeavour that is often multinational as well as multi-agency) and the circumstances under which UK Armed Forces contribute. JDP 01 Campaigning addresses the military contribution from the perspective of the Joint Task Force Commander (JTFC).1 Based on good practice developed during recent UK and coalition operations, JDP 5-00 Campaign Planning describes the process of Defence crisis management and the fundamentals of operational-level planning. With JDP 2-00 Understanding and Intelligence Support to Operations and JDP 3-00 Campaign Execution, underpinned by JDP 01 Campaigning, it provides authoritative guidance on the conduct of joint operations. 2. JDP 5-00 (2nd Edition, Change 2) is not a major rewrite. Instead it: incorporates the amendments proposed in 2nd Edition Change 1; provides updated doctrine on the joint action model to ensure coherence with JDP 3-00 Campaign Execution (3rd Edition, Change 1)2; and includes reference to the National Security Council and its role in strategic direction. The discussion on centre of gravity has also been updated. The forthcoming revision (2013) of the Allied Command Operations Comprehensive Operations Planning Directive (COPD) Interim V1.0 published in December 2010,3 and the ratification of Allied Joint Doctrine for Operational-Level Planning (Allied Joint Publication 5(AJP-5)4) have allowed the removal of the supplement on the NATO planning process. Similarly, the re-issue of USA Joint Operation Planning, (Joint Publication 5-0 (JP-5)5), on 11 August 2011 has encouraged the removal of the supplement on USA planning; JP-5 Executive Summary, Commander’s Overview, provides an excellent synopsis for reference. The supplement on planning with other government departments has been updated. 1 ‘The operational commander of a nominated joint force’, Joint Doctrine Publication (JDP) 0-01.1 United Kingdom Supplement to the NATO Terminology Database (8th Edition). 2 Promulgated in July 2012. 3 Allied Command Operations Comprehensive Operations Planning Directive, COPD Interim V1.0.

JDP 5-00 is primarily aimed at those engaged in, or studying, operational-level planning, specifically staff employed in the: Permanent Joint Headquarters; Joint Force Headquarters and, when deployed, respective Joint Task Force Headquarters or National Contingent Headquarters; and Component Command Headquarters. It will also be of considerable use to those routinely employed in the Defence Crisis Management Organisation including representatives from other government departments (specifically the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for International Development and the multi-departmental Stabilisation Unit). 4. Structure. JDP 5-00 is divided into three
