4. LevelsofWar. Thissectiondefinesthestrategic,operational,andtacticallevelsofwaranddiscussestheirrelationshiptotheUNTLstructure.Thedefinitionsofthelevelsofwarare:

a. StrategicLevel thelevelof waratwhichanation,oftenasamemberofagroupofnations,determinesnationalormultinational(allianceorcoalition)securityobjectivesandguidance,anddevelopsandusesnationalresourcestoaccomplishtheseobjectives.Activitiesatthislevelestablishnationalandmultinationalobjectives,sequenceinitiatives,definelimitsandassessrisksfortheuseofmilitaryandotherinstrumentsofnationalpower.Forthemilitaryinstrument,thisincludesdevelopingglobalplansortheaterwarplanstoachievetheseobjectives,andprovidingmilitaryforcesandothercapabilitiesinaccordancewithstrategicplans.Thestrategiclevelofwarissubdividedintostrategicnationalandstrategictheater.

Table21summarizestypicalrelationshipsofcommands,andbyimplicationtheircommanders,tothethreelevelsofwar.

a.Knowingthedefinitionsoftheaters,theatersofwar,theatersofoperation,andjointoperationsareaishelpfulinunderstandingthedistinctionsbetweenthestrategicandoperationallevelsofwar.Jointdoctrine(JP102)definesatheaterasthegeographicareaoutsidethecontinentalUnitedStatesforwhichacommanderofacombatantcommandhasbeenassignedresponsibility.Itfurtherdefinesatheaterofwarasthatareaofland,sea,andairthatis,ormaybecome,directlyinvolvedintheoperationsofwar.Jointdoctrinedefinesatheaterofoperationsasthatportionofatheaterofwarnecessaryformilitaryoperationsandfortheadministrationofsuchoperations.Thus,atheaterofwarmaycontainmorethanonetheaterofoperations.Ajointoperationsarea(JP30)isdefinedasanareaofland,sea,andairspace,definedbyaCOCOMorsubordinateunifiedcommander,inwhichaJFC(normallyaJTFcommander)conductsmilitaryoperationstoaccomplishaspecificmission.

6. IdentifyingtheLevelofWarofaTask.ManytasksintheUNTLstructurehaveparalleltasksatotherlevelsofwar.Forexample(usingaNTAfromChapter3),NTA2.2 PerformCollectionOperationsandManagement, hasparalleltasksatotherlevelsofwar:OP2.2,CollectandShareOperationalInformation,ST2.2,CollectTheaterStrategicInformationandSN2.2,CollectStrategicInformation.Inexamininganintelligencetaskthatisbeingconductedaspartofajointmilitaryoperation,itmaybedifficulttodetermineatwhichlevelofwarthattaskisbeingperformed.Tomakesuchadistinction,onemustexaminetheaimorobjectiveoftheintelligence



collectioneffort,thetheaterstructureofthemilitaryoperationbeingconducted,whichorganizationsorcomponentsareactuallyperformingthetask,andthelevelofcommandatwhichtheintelligencecollectionactivityisbeingdirected.

7. NavalTasks.Navaltaskssupportalllevelsofwar,strategic,operational,andtactical,howeverthemajorityofnavalmissionsandtasksarecenteredontheOperationalandTacticallevels.METsdesignedtospecificallysupportaCOCOMmission(orJMETL)willmostlikelybeattheoperational(OP)andtactical(NTA/MCT)levels.NavaltaskswithintheUNTLweredevelopedusingmanydifferentsources(reviewofTitle10USCode,theJointStrategicCapabilitiesPlan,COCOMandcomponentoperationplans(OPLANs),warplans,operationsorders(OPORDS),requiredoperationalcapabilities(ROC)/projectedoperationalenvironment(POE),doctrinepublications,etc.),whichproducedasignificantnumberofoperationalandtacticalleveltasks.MissionanalysisandMETLdevelopmentconductedbycomponentcommandersandoperationalforcecommandersalsoledtotheidentificationanddevelopmentofnewtasks.Thedevelopmentofnavaltaskswasconductedinaccordancewiththefollowingguidelines.

Tasksdescribeanactivityvisibleoutsidethecommand Tasksdescribeadiscreteevent Tasksdonotdefinewho Tasksdonotdefinehow Tasksdonotdiscussaspecificpieceofequipment(i.e.gun,bomb,boiler,etc.) Tasksdonotdescribeenvironmentalissues(physical,military,orcivil conditions) Tasksdonotduplicateanexistingtask

a.Tasksarebasedondoctrineandtactics,techniques,andprocedures(TTP).NormallyataskisanactivityidentifiedbydoctrineorTTPasperformedbyajointforceormilitaryService.DoctrineorTTPshouldprovideenoughdescriptionoftheactivitytocontributetothedevelopmentofadefinition.However,insomecasesacapabilitymayexisttoperformataskbeforespecificdoctrineiswrittentodescribeit.

b.TaskswithintheUNTLdonotspecifymeans(i.e.,typeofunit,organization,orsystem)involvedintaskperformance.

c.JointandServicetasksarenotorganizedtodescribeasequenceoraprocess.Thelocationofataskwithinthehierarchydoesnotimplyprecedenceororganization,nordoesitimplythewaytasksareselectedorapplied.

d.TaskswithintheUNTLdonotincludeconditions.Thetasksfocusontheactivitiesperformed.Theenvironmentinwhichthetaskisperformediskeytothesuccessfulaccomplishmentofthemissionand,therefore,thetasksmustbelinkedtoapplicableconditionsoftheenvironment.TheconditionsunderwhichataskwouldhavetobeconductedareprovidedinAppendixA.Theseconditionswillbelinkedtothetask,butwillnotbeincorporatedwithinthetaskitself.Keepingconditionsoutofthetaskensuresthetaskswillbeapplicabletoawider



varietyofoperationsandregionswhereoperationsmaybeconducted.Forexample(usingaMCTfromChapter4),MCT1.6.6.6,ConductNoncombatantEvacuationOperations(NEO)withconditionswrittenintototask,(ConductNEOinhighterrainelevations)willlimittheuseofMCT1.6.6.6toonlymountainousareas.

e. Tasksareplacedatappropriatelevelsofwar. Forexample,intertheaterdeploymentofforcesoccursprimarilyatthestrategiclevelof warand,therefore,wouldnotbeincludedattheoperationalortacticallevels.Ontheotherhand,thetaskofoccupyingacombatareamaybeconsideredprimarilytactical.Sometasksmaybeperformedatmorethanonelevelofwar.Thelevelofwarofanactivityispartiallydeterminedbythenatureoftheactivityitself(employingnuclearweaponsisconsideredtobestrategicinalmostallinstances)andpartlybythecontextinwhichitoccurs(thepurposeandintentinperformingatask).

f.Sometasksperformedatthetacticallevelofwarmay,insomesituations,beperformedjointly.JointnessisnotacriterionforincludingorexcludingataskfromaServicetasklist(atthetacticallevelofwar).ThemaincriterionforincludingataskinaServicetasklistiswhetherServiceforcesarecapableofperformingthetaskatthatlevelofwar(withorwithouttheinvolvementofforcesfromanothermilitaryService).

8.

b.Thestandardforataskissetwithintheframeworkofthecommandersmissionandinthecontextoftheconditionsthatarelinkedtothosemissions.Thus,thestandard(s)forataskcanonlybesetwhen:(1)themissionanalysisiscomplete(2)thelinkedconditionshavebeenidentifiedanddescribedand,(3)measureshavebeenselectedthatreflectthetaskcontributiontomissionaccomplishment.Thismeansthatstandardsaretiedtomissions.Thatis,justbecauseataskhasaparticularstandardononemissiondoesnotmeanthatthesamestandardwillapplytoothermissions.Ataskstandardcouldbethesameacrossmissions,butitcouldalsobedifferentforeachmission.

(1)Eachtaskcanhaveastandardusingoneormoremeasures.Astandardcanbesetusinganymeasure(s)thatappliestoatask.Insomesituations,onemeasuremaybesufficient.Inothers,acommandermayhavetospecifyastandardusingmorethanonemeasuretofullydefinearequiredlevelofperformance.Forexample,inspecifyingastandardforengagingenemytargets(NTA3.2,AttackTargets)undertheconditionofoverwhelmingthreatlandforces(C2.9.5.1),measuresforboththetimetoengage(e.g.,minutesafterinitiationoftask,ordnanceontarget)andtheaccuracyoftheengagement(e.g.,percentofmissionsflown/firedachievedesiredtargetdamage)maybeneededtofullydefinearequiredlevelofperformance.Theresultingtasks,conditions,andstandardswillcomprisethemissioncapabilityrequirementsforacommander.

(2)Astandardforasingletaskdoesnotnormallyhavetobemetbyasinglecomponent.Inmanycasesinoperations,severalelementsoftheforce(systemtypes,componentcommands,coalitionmembers)willbeassignedresponsibilityforatask.Therefore,theassessmentofperformancewilloftenreflecttheaggregatedcapabilitiesofmultipleforceelements.
