provides policy guidance and procedures for the peacetime and crisis action development, coordination, dissemination, review, approval and implementation of joint OPLANs and CONPLANs

What is the function of PUB CJCSM 3122.03B, JOPES Volume II

prescribe standard formats and minimum content requirements for OPLANs and CONPLANs

What is the function of the PUB CJCSM 3122.02C, JOPES Volume III

Crisis Action TPFDD Development and Deployment Execution

establishes procedures for the development of TPFDD and deployment of forces within the context of JOPES in support of joint military Operations

What is the function of the PUB CJCSM 3150.016A, JOPES Reporting Structure

Sets forth guidance and standards to be used in the organization and development of information reporting to the JOPES database

What is the function of the JOPES Edit Tool (JET)

Allows the planner to create and modify a TPFDD file and build a force list

What is the function of the Rapid Query Tool (RQT)

Allows for the planner to query and produce reports from a TPFDD file.

What is the function of the Scheduling and Movement (S&M)

Enables the planner to report and track movement of TPFDD requirements

What are Standard Reference Files
in reference to JOP

Standard reference files specify codes for locations, cargo and passenger movement details for UTCs or large equipment items, movement details for UTCs or individual equipment items

What is the function of the Geographic Location File (GEOFILE)

Provides codes for specific locations and lists there assets

What is the function of the Type Unit Characteristics (TUCHA) file

Deployment data for all approved DOD UTCs, including the number of passengers and the cargo increments and the weights and dimensions.

What is the function of the Type Unit Equipment Detail File (TUDET)

Contains the dimensional and weight data for large pieces of equipment. It may be looked up using the nomenclature or national stock number

It is designed to facilitate rapid building and the timely maintenance of plans and rapid development of
effective options through adaptation of approved OPLANs during crisis.

Briefly explain the purpose of JOPES.

Across the spectrum of mobilization, deployment, employment, sustainment, redeployment, and
demobilization.

Which areas does JOPES support for the effective management of operations in execution?

Shortfalls.

What does JOPES help identify in regards to joint operation requirements?

Managing and executing TPFDD.

How do logistics planners mainly use JOPES?

GCCS.

Where do JOPES ADP mission applications reside?

JET.

What do planners use to define the force requirements by UTC?

RQT.

What provides planners the capability to query and produce reports from a TPFDD file?

Scheduling and movement.

Which tool reports and tracks the movement of TPFDD requirements?

GEOFILE, TUCHA, and TUDET.

Which three reference files are used in JOPES?

Planners and commanders at all levels.

Who uses the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) in the Joint
Planning and Execution Community (JPEC)?

Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) edit tool (JET).

What do planners use to create and modify a time-phased force and deployment data
(TPFDD) file and build a force list?

What is in a TPFDD?

It contains detailed requirements, capabilities, and movement data that support AF, joint, and combined plans. A TPFDD contains critical information to include the time phasing of forces by commence dates to specific destinations (called routing data).

What other information does a TPFDD provide?

Personnel and equipment.

Which type of TPFDD is associated with the OPLAN?

Requirements-driven.

Which type of TPFDD assesses methods for organizing, training, equipping, and sustaining air and space forces to meet the defense strategy requirements?

Capabilities-driven.

How must planners use approved standard UTCs to meet TPFDD criteria?

To the maximum extent possible.

Where is the TPFDD maintained?

Under a separate JOPES PID in GCCS.

What uniquely identifies each unit, or part of a unit, defined in a TPFDD?

The ULN.

How are FRNs used by planners?

To track a unit that may change its sequence position in the TPFDD.

What does the CIN identify?

Nonunit cargo movement requirements.

Which TPFDD data element identifies an actual unit designated to support a force requirement?

UIC.

Which TPFDD data element includes both unit cargo and personnel data?

Force movement characteristics.

What is "AC" mode/source?

The "AC" mode/source is an air via supporting commander channel (AMC or service) aircraft.

What is "AK" mode source?

The "AK" mode/source is an air via strategic (AMC, AMC-contract) aircraft.

What arrangements should an IDO ensure when the APOE is not the home station?

The IDO makes appropriate arrangements to meet the APOE ALD (e.g., commercial airlines, buses, organic, commercial trucks, or GOPAX through the TACC).

What is the document most logistics planner are familiar with and is a product of the TPFDD development?

TPFDL.

Does each OPLAN has its own TPFDL?

Yes.

What is the name of the column with a date that a UTC can arrive early at the final destination?

EAD.

What is the name of the column with a date that UTC can arrive the latest at the final destination?

LAD.
