Draft FM 5-0?

[Klugzilla]

Yes, your general points on doctrine are all accurate (I work in CADD, and who would claim to be that who was not). However, I just talked to the author about the CoC. It apparently happened last week, but there were some points that were deferred--specifically related to design and info ops. The latter only makes sense given they stared a CoC on the Info Ops FM yesterday. The deferred points will be addressed by other decision makers in the near future.

Good to see you here Jon. Nice pic.

Klugzilla... ok I get it... how are you doing Jon... Didn't realize they held the CoC last week... honestly thought it was next week... This week's CoC is not as much about 3-13 as it is about how we will fundamentally think about info, cyber, etc.... which obviously has 3-13 and 3-0 implications...

You are closer to the source than I... I defer to your assessment

Live well and row

Was there any serious thought about placing the design section in 6-0 instead of 5-0?

[Klugzilla]

There were several COAs evaluated. However, prior to FM 5-0's current draft there was an FMI on design. The way ahead after the release of FM 5-0, FM 6-0, and the design FMI was to incorporate design into a future version of 5-0 (primarily) and 6-0 (when appropriate). However, the ongoing doctrine reengineering effort aim to cut down on the overall number of manuals and redundancy between manuals; thus, it was decided that design would doctrinally be covered in this iteration of 5-0 and the FMI was dropped. As I mentioned in a previous post, some of the decisions on design have been temporarly deferred. When I hear something concrete, I will post it here. I hope that helps.

There is a FM 5-0 Council of Colonels folder under the CADD Doctrine KCC on AKO. Several versions of the draft FM can be found there.

Folks,

Check with user "Dr. Jack," I believe he has all the intel on the matter.

With regards to Operational Design, see the thread in the catch all military art & science folder.

Cheers,
