Book excerpt: This documented briefing contains inital findings resulting from the Phase I study on improving support to the Commander-in-chief (CINC)Theater Engagement Plans (TEPs). The purpose of the study is twofold: (1) help the Director for Strategic Plans and Policy (J-5) and the Directo for Force Structure, Resources, and Assesment (J-8) develop a framework for assessing global engagement and its associated resource demands, which would raise awareness of engagement resource support to the CINCs. The briefing concludes that although the TEP provides a useful planning mechanism for the complex activities associated with the engagement mission, it must be more closely linked to Department of Defense formal decisionmaking processes
