SFA for planner
The "SFA for planners" guide was created to support SFA Subject Matter Experts within the planning process of the Comprehensive Operation Planning Directive (COPD) at operational level. Following the "six steps process", it aims to provide specific indications on how to give an effective contribution to the Joint Operational Planning Group (JOPG) step by step from a SFA perspective, in terms of products needed to accomplish the process. This document does not introduce a new standalone procedure for planning but must be considered strictly underpinned with all the existing NATO planning and assessment standing doctrines such as the COPD, AJP-5 and NATO Operation Assessment Handbook.
