1. Financial Management OPORD Planning

2. Concrete Experience

3. Terminal Learning Objective
Action: Determine Financial Management Specified, Critical, and Implied tasks pertaining to an Operations Order/ Operations Plan. Conditions: In a classroom environment; students will work as a member of a small group using ADP 5-0, FM 1-06, and the slide presentation for immediate referencing. Students are also required to participate in small group discussions with an awareness of the Operational Environment (OE) variables and factors. Standard: Determination includes: 1. Understanding the Military Decision Making Process 2. List FM critical tasks during operations planning 3. Understanding the importance of FM Running Estimate

4. Publish and Process

5. Military Decision Making Process
MDMP is an iterative planning methodology to understand the situation and mission, develop a course of action, and produce an operation plan or order.
Consists of a series of steps that have various inputs and outputs.

6. Military Decision Making Process (Cont.)
This is where S8s enter MDMP.

7. FM Planning Using MDMP Must be thoroughly familiar with MDMP
Should consider how the COAs require FM support
Must tailor FM support to particular phase of operation

8. FM Critical Tasks During Planning Process
Understand unit mission
Determine FM resources required
Formulate concept of FM support
Develop and maintain FM running estimate (primary task)
Identify specified and implied tasks
Identify constraints and limitations
Identify key facts and assumptions
Prepare, authenticate, and distribute FM plan
Formulate and recommend CCIR

9. The FM Running Estimate
Primary task staff sections perform to support commander
Continuous assessment of current and future operations
Performed between operations, even when not deployed
Key source of FM information that enables mission analysis

10. FM Running Estimate Template

11. FM Staff Requirements Tasks by CIs and Phase of the Operation:
1100- CIVPAY issues: overtime, temporary hires
2100- travel: per diem, incidentals, special allowances
2200- transportation: of soldiers and equipment (MILAIR, commercial, ship, rail, FEDEX)
2300- rents and utilities: “over and above” normal operations at home, abroad
2400- printing requirements: safety books, ROE books, “Most Wanted” Cards, tactical copier leases, flyers, propaganda leaflets

12. FM Staff Requirements (cont.)
2500- specific products and services at home, abroad (lumber, bulk fuel, gravel, pipes, cement, ATVs, horse blankets, saddles, SUVs) supplies, parts, POL, by type and for what. Army and Non Army managed equipment needs; MTOE shortages filled or operation unique (body armor, radios, Clamshell tents, generators)

13. Critical Thinking

14. Check on Learning
Name teo FM critial tasks during the planning process?

15. Check on Learning
The _________ is the most important participant in the MDMP

16. WARNO Scenario
On order, the 1st BCT, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), will deploy a 500 Soldier Task Force (TF) in support of Multinational Forces Observer (MFO) peace keeping efforts in Ukraine for six months. All units, fire teams and above, will be guard tower/ UN observer certified with individual and crew served weapons by XVIII Airborne Corps. Upon deployment, the TF is attached to MFO HQ, Rome, Italy. MFO specific train up, certification, deployment, redeployment, and recovery operations are reimbursed by the European Union, NATO, and the United States of America. XVIII Airborne Corps is the controlling headquarters for US Forces.
