Use your White Paper Outline to design your slides.
Naming Convention: MLCDL_SFC_LNAME_WP BRIEF
This assignment is a 2-3 min PowerPoint brief of your White Paper with voice-over added to each slide. You are using the presentation as if you are giving a military briefing to your commander about what your paper is about. You are presenting a problem, the reason the problem exists, and how you can fix it.
You should have a minimum of 4 slides. You start by introducing the topic of your white paper and your position (problem you chose to address). Then you introduce your evidence you used to support that position (reason the problem exists). Next, you present your solution to the problem (how the Army can fix it). Lastly you have a conclusion slide. The total audio should not exceed 2-3 minutes. You should use visual aids within the ppt presentation to enhance your information.
NOTE: Videos are authorized for use, but will not be included in the briefing time. Any slide that is full of words without pictures or graphs to help present information should be removed.

Write a 150-word post answering the multi-part questions below.
You can type your responses or, if you wish, you can upload a short video or audio file as an option (2-3 minutes).

What is servant leadership to you? Is it the best way to lead at all times? Why? (M421)

M444 JPP Learning Activity
1. You will work on this practical exercise in five separate groups (Primarily within A365 in your broken down group) within your Week #4 Practical Exercise (See group breakdown below).
Group Echo: Construct the linear Line of Operation(LoO) for the overall 1st AD campaign, as well as the supporting Lines of Effort (LoE) (for Phase II) for the 1AD Campaign, utilizing the Atropian OPORD, as well as Phase 2 Significant Events material (M451)
2. Each group will balance their information against understanding the 1st AD OE in ATROPIA. Include information gleaned from previous lessons (Significant Event Handouts located throughout previous lessons)
3. Combine information into a presentation into your Group that presents a robust Operational Approach (OA) for your overarchng Line of Operation for the Campaign, as well as your supporting Lines of Effort.
a. Information used to determine OA (Guidance, Higher HQ intent, Mission, OE variables, Stability Tasks, Problem Statement, etc.)
b. Ends, Ways, Means
c. Elements of Operational Design (Termination, Military End State, Objectives, Effects, Center of Gravity, Decisive Points, Lines of Operation/Lines of Effort, Direct and indirect approach, Anticipation, Operational reach, Culmination, Arranging Operations, Forces and functions) As required
d. A restated Mission Statement based on combination of above info.
e. An Operational Approach derived by combining the above info with your experience, intellect, creativity, intuition, education, etc.
You will utilize the groups established within A365 to collaborate and develop your LoO and LoE final product. It is necessary to use the Atropian Iron OPORD and all associated Annexes to gather the necessary information for your planning. It is necessary to refer back to either the lesson or JP 5-0 to determine the Inputs and Outputs for each step of the joint planning process.
DIRECTIONS FOR YOUR LINE OF OPERATION and LINES OF EFFORT FINAL PRODUCT:
1. YOU WILL PROVIDE NO LESS THAN ONE SLIDE THAT DEPICTS THE 1AD LINE OF OPERATION AND YOUR ASSIGNED PHASE LINES OF EFFORT.
2. WITHIN YOUR SLIDE PROVIDED, YOU WILL ALSO PROVIDE (IN SUMMARY/NO MORE THAN ONE PARAGRAPH) THE ANALYSIS AND REASONING BEHIND, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR GROUP AGREED UPON FINAL LINE OF OPERATION AND SUPPORTING LINES OF EFFORT AS IT PERTAINS TO THE 1AD CAMPAIGN AND PHASE BREAKDOWN.
3. ONCE COMPLETE, YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR FINAL LINES OF OPERATION AND SUPPORTING LINES OF EFFORT WITHIN THE WEEK #5 CLASSROOM COLLABORATION SESSION. THERE IS NO NEED FOR PEER REPLIES FOR THIS PRACTICAL EXERCISE.
This is your small group breakdown for collaboration on your JPP Practical Exercise project. After you have developed your group LOO and LOEs slide, create a final slide that depicts the 1st AD LoO, as well as your Phase supporting Lines of Effort. You will present/brief your slide in the Week #5 Classroom Collaboration Session.

Complete the 3 tasks below, in graphic form. There must be a horizontal timeline and the key information tagged to specific dates or time frames. Do not submit columnar information. You can use the the same basic horizontal graph from 1940-present for each. This assignment will require you to research and prepare key information regarding the IC, its evolution, and its operations.
First Timeline. Create a graphical time frame of key dates in the creation of the organizations that currently comprise the intelligence community, including key laws and executive orders that provide legal authority for the IC. Start this timeline at 1940 and ending 2024. You should have key dates for each of the members of the IC and the associated laws. There should be at least 6 key laws noted that have transformed the IC. There should be at least the creation date for each member of the IC.
Second Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1940-present and shows Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, Near East/Middle East, and Eastern Europe on the vertical axis. List at least 15 US covert action operations by name and country, geographical area (the 6 listed above), operation name, and dates.
Third Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1945-present and highlights at least 15 key technological innovations created by the IC that support intelligence collection (imagery, HUMINT, ELINT, COMINT, MASINT, etc.).
