So Operational Art is not related to "Operational Warfighting?"

I didn't say that.

I thought one expressed the other?

You thought wrong. You don't believe in operational warfare, so I don't expect you to understand it.

By tools, do you means staff procedures used to aid planning?

No.

Does conceptualizing mean "planning?"

No.

Sorry, to me the campaign/operation being planned sets the conditions for tactical success is tactics. Intelligence, Logistics, planning, and Command are the realm of tactics and I cannot see how calling them the "Operational Level" makes it any different.

Fair enough. Great opinion - you are welcome to it.

....and I thought the "Operational level" was related to Corps and Divisions with Corps assets?

You said that, not me.
