Plans can be implemented:♦ On Order
♦ So called “preplans”♦ Usually deal with a class of incidents rather than
a specific situation
♦ By Time♦ Scheduled event or anticipated situation
♦ Contemporaneous♦ Developed to provide guidance to complex,
unfolding circumstances

Three Types of Plans• Deliberate
♦ The preferred course of action
• Hasty♦ Used for spontaneous or unanticipated possibilities♦ Provides an organized response to surprise
• Contingency♦ Used to modify Deliberate or Hasty Plans♦ Often referred to as “Plan B”

• Used for the conduct of all operations that can be anticipated and allow for detailed planning
• Serves as a base for all related operations
• May be considered the “Master Plan”
Deliberate Plans15

• Used when timeliness and quick response is paramount
• Provides an organized approach for an unplanned or unanticipated events
• Tailors response to immediate concerns
• As events continue to unfold, it functions as a sentry while continuing development of the deliberate plan
Hasty Plans14

Contingency Plans• Focuses thought on anticipated problems that
arise during the conduct of the operation
• Allows for operational deviation while maintaining continuity with the deliberate plan
• Guards against operations stopping due to confusion or a sudden change in the situation
• Usually applies only to concept or execution portions of the deliberate plan

Component Parts of a Plan• Written plans should be required whenever
an operation:♦ Is Multi-disciplinary or Multi-jurisdictional in
nature♦ Extends through two or more operational
periods

Component Parts of a Plan• Five Paragraphs or Components
♦ Tried and true method
♦ Will work from foot pursuits to major disasters and other tactical operations

Situation
• Provides a brief summary of all that has occurred♦ Brief enough to be easily understood
but comprehensive enough to provide personnel with a situational awareness
• Includes any mitigating or aggravating factors or influences

Mission• Most often overlooked because it is so
easily assumed
• Must precisely identify the objective to be accomplished
• There is always more than one objective in any operation♦ They often compete with one another♦ They tend to be time and resource
dependent

• Describes how the mission is to be achieved
• Usually the longest and most complex portion of the plan
• Begins with a “concept of operations”♦ Explains commander’s intent for achieving a
satisfactory resolution
• Precisely describes how each assignment is to be achieved♦ Predominate activity should be designated as the
Focus of Effort♦ Main Effort identifies responsible individual or group
to accomplish it

Administrative and Logistics
• Sometimes called the “beans, bandages and bullets” component (also called “Service and Support” by U.S. Army)
• Focuses on personnel and equipment issues
• Provides instructions for distributing and managing personnel and resources♦ The right person for the right job with the

• Identifies the critical command personnel and facilities♦ Command relationships are especially critical
in operations that are multi-jurisdictional or multi-disciplinary
• Identifies communication links between operational components and echelons of command

• Trip Wires♦ Used to automatically implement a plan,

• Rules of Engagement♦ Define or adapt policies to fit
the current situation♦ Commonly used for arrest
policy and procedures and/or use of force options
• Prevents lower echelons of command (or even a single individual) from committing the response to an unwanted course of action
