Col "Pup" Phinney OUP CFAC Deputy Director Airpower and C2 in Campaign Planning and Execution Distance between

AOC and JFACC necessary Wish he had read JP 3-30 - fighting 3 battles: planning air mission, getting trained personnel on staff, creating doctrinal structure for MN op BL: get ready, "be a heavy lifter," understand cultural diffrences in NATO COG: keeping alliance together OOD was 2 weeks...OUD 218 days - 28 Coalition nations with 7 days to plan In NATO, you can't plan unless you've been directed to plan. Issue: sharing classified. Kinetic ops...but what about logistics? ROE? Legal advisor? Collateral Damage issues? Actionable intelligence? -- wish I had had more training, more experts, more ....but you have what you have. 70 OCA (average 40 per day), 2 RPAs, 2 AWACS, JPR CAOC 160 people - NATO air policing cell Combine with AFFOR to create JFAC during conflict. Linking strategy to task and reverse very difficult to do virtually...especially when ROE for CDE is zero civilian casualties or civilian structures.

What, Where, Who, Why, ....Purpose Airpower enabled rebels to achieve objectives. Unified Protector (plus legal advisor) - Red Card holders - not overall veto...just national perspective - ROE had been agreed by 28 nations; One ATO - important Wanted 387 people - had to build manning document at same time; Right to Lead...what do you do with intelligence you can't share? - how do you convince Coalition member to strike targets...element of trust - other countries' officers can be tried by civil courts and ICC...not like US UCMJ A NATO model for intervention - not US-led...from behind or front... - NATO operation conducted by NATO officers, several of whom were from the US What does this mean in terms of Right to Protect as we go forward? -
