Ep 045 "CG Excursion Praxis: Rational Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) (Part Two)"

I continue a rather technical treatment of developing and using Concepts of Operations (CONOPS).This episode examines the finer points of getting baselines and expectations right for small and large projects alike.If you take these simple concepts for building a CONOPS to include how to do decomposition in Product Breakdown Structures (PBS) and Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) as described in MILSTD 881F and apply it wherever you happen to work at a small or large company, everybody will be in awe of the black magic you perform and it a. guaranteed Return on Investment (ROI) in how much money you will save downstream.References:Special Forces Detachment Mission Planning Guide GTA 31-01-003 January 2020DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STANDARD PRACTICE WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURES FOR DEFENSE MATERIEL ITEMS MILSTD 881F 13 May 2022NASA Systems Engineering Handbook Rev 2Cost of 13 NASA projects skyrocket due to improper reviewsThe US Submarine Force is SunkJames Hornfischer "The Fleet at Flood Tide" My SubstackEmail at cgpodcast@pm.me

An unauthorized podcast series peeking behind the curtain at the vast machinery and briar patch politics of fighting terrorism and insurgency and everything in between. I'm a "COINtra" and not a "COINdinista", the latter are the vast army of apparatchiks and apologists who fire the engines of Irregular Warfare (IW) planet-wide. We're the skeptics and doubters of all things IW and special operations. And we are a tiny sliver of the IW community. I have noticed a jarring gap in this part of the discussion and intend on filling the breach.Substack: Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare PodcastSmedley D.
