The plan review process ensures war plan concepts of operation can achieve tasked objectives using available resources. Educating planners is another key element of the Better Plans campaign. Further, the division developed two primers describing the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System. Finally, through the Global Command and Control System Deliberate Planning Working Group, the division ensures Joint Operation Planning and Execution System automatic data processing on the Global Command and Control System supports deliberate planning policies and procedures. The working group identifies, evaluates and recommends changes to global system needed to support the deliberate planning process.

It offers a common perspective from which to plan and operate. Although it is not policy, joint doctrine represents authoritative guidance for the joint employment of the U.S. armed forces.
