Overarching Strawman Issues

1
Tier 1 Definition The ability to
prevent/mitigate adverse effects of attacks on
personnel (combatant/non-combatant) and physical
assets of the United States, allies and friends.

• Issue Prevent includes WMD. The two major
  prevention WMD pillars are WMD counter
  proliferation and WMD elimination. FA construct
  lists elimination and counter proliferation.
• Recommendation FA retain elimination and
  interdiction categories. Protection will keep
  WMD elimination and WMD interdiction
  focusing specifically on WMD capabilities. The
  definition will be addressed as a Tier 4 seam to
  be deconflictd during the next phase of JCA
  decomposition.

Protection Seams

• Seam topic Elimination and Interdiction
• Seam with Force Application
• Recommendation Continue to work with the CWMD
  community to define/distinguish between WMD
  Elimination and Interdiction. COA 1 retain
  WMD elimination and WMD interdiction within
  Protection and define to distinguish between FA
  COA 2 - move to FA.
• Seam topic Emergency Preparedness
• Seam with C2 and Logistics
• Recommendation Continue to work with C2, Log
  and NORTHCOM to identify protection specific
  capabilities within EP. Retain EP as a Tier 3
  within the Mitigate category.
