Contingency Planning

Branches

Branches are options within a particular phase, available to the commander to anticipate opportunities or reverses, and provide him with the flexibility to retain the initiative.

Contingency Planning

Sequels

Sequels provide options for the next phase. One of the sequels to the current phase may simply be the next pre-planned phase. However, to ensure that the phased campaign can proceed even in the face of setbacks, prudent planners will prepare several options for subsequent and other phases. Thus, once a sequel is chosen and undertaken it will become the next phase in the campaign.
