A handbook designed for the military planner. This handbook provides all of the reference material needed to conduct planning of any type (military, business, government) and at any level. While focused on the aspects of operational art and military science at the operational level, it includes discussion of strategy and policy as it pertains to the creation of plans. Forward by GEN Gary Luck. For those interested in a version with a coil binder that lays open during planning sessions, see 'The Planner Handbook - OPT Edition'.
