Key information

Aim

The aim of this subject is to develop an understanding of the doctrine, planning and conduct of maritime operations (in a joint context) at the Commander Task Group (CTG) level and below.

During the course attendees receive an overview of planning processes at the Task Group level and education in the 7 Question Maritime Estimate (7QMTE) process. The planning phase can be preceded by enabling lectures covering maritime issues from the strategic to the tactical level. The subject is suitable for officers from SO2 to OF5, selected for advanced warfare courses, as staff officers joining Battle-staffs and for Command appointments.
