MILITARY PLANNING AT THE POLITICAL-STRATEGIC LEVEL IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
MILITARY PLANNING AT THE POLITICAL-STRATEGIC LEVEL IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: Military planning is an iterative process that requires the analysis of all the relevant factors to configure a military mission in order to meet the specific military/political objectives. At the political-strategic level, it includes the analysis of the policy objectives implications, the ultimate goal of the EU, the limitations, as well as the analysis of the required capabilities in order to develop military options, in tune with the capabilities offered or potentially available. The author analyses the process of military planning in terms of the 4 stages of development: political-strategic (EU institutions); strategic-military (OHQ/MHQ); operational (MHQ/FHQ) and tactical (component commands and subordinate units).
