Questions like: what are direct AND indirect ways of solving the problem (i.e. is there a CoA whereby we enable OTHERS - maybe better placed than we - to do the heavy lifting, whereby we just enable them)
I honestly don't know if anyone even thinks about the problem that way. MDMP seems to be the US Army's one-size-fits-all solution to planning. I know we talked Design but I honestly have not heard a lot about it since. But neither really address what you want to know. I wish I could provide an answer, but all I can do is admire the question.
