Persian Gulf Briefing

This assignment is an Operational Briefing on the Persian Gulf.

You will brief the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the current situation in the Persian Gulf. You should include the retaking the Iraqi city of Mosul. Include the past combat issues that have occurred. The strategies that have worked and failed in the region. The coalition bombing began in August 2014 of ISIS position, what has changed in 2017? INCLUDE facts, not alternate facts. Cite when you must. This is a broad topic, so you should not have any problems finding enough professional subject matter content.

Standard Components of an Operational Briefing

Operational or mission briefings typically follow the five-paragraph Operations Order (OPORD) format, often remembered by the acronym SMEAC:

1. Situation: Provides a general picture of the operating environment, including terrain, weather, enemy forces (morale, equipment, courses of action), and friendly forces (missions two levels up).
2. Mission: A clear, concise statement of the objective (Who, What, When, Where, and Why). This is typically stated twice for clarity.
3. Execution: Details how the mission will be accomplished. This includes the Commander’s Intent (the desired end-state), the concept of operations, and specific tasks assigned to subordinate units.
4. Sustainment (or Service/Support): Covers logistics, including supply, equipment, transportation, and medical evacuation plans.
5. Command and Signal (or Command and Control): Outlines the chain of command and communication procedures, such as radio frequencies, call signs, and passwords.

REQUIREMENTS:

Follow all the mandated Requirements. APA, proper grammatical structure

2-3 page paper, 12pt font. Cover sheet and reference page do not count towards the total page count.

I’ve included two different examples of briefings. Feel free to submit this briefing in whichever format you find easier. BUT YOU MUST USE ONE OF THESE TWO FORMATS.
