OOTW JMETL

These Joint Mission Essential Task Lists (JMETLs) have been created from the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) of version 2.1 [26] and then modified to fit those of version 3 (draft) [27]. They contain the strategic theater (ST) and operational (OP) tasks, as those appropriate to the CINC planning cells' needs. In addition, certain strategic national (SN) tasks are called out as relating to analysis tasks for OOTW.

The OOTW analysis categories that require separate JMETLs are presented in separate columns. "PK" stands for peacekeeping operations, "PE" for peace enforcement operations, "HA/DR-For" for humanitarian assistance and foreign disaster relief operations, "DR-Dom" for domestic disaster relief operations, "NEO-Un" for unopposed noncombatant evacuation operations, "CD" for counterdrug operations, "CT" for counterterrorism operations, "CI" for counterinsurgency operations, "NA" for nation assistance operations, and "CONT" for military contingency operations. All types of OOTW are included in one of these categories.

The tasks are listed by UJTL sequence number. Shading of a row indicates the task has been called out by a task from this report as requiring analytical support and has the report's task number in square brackets [], following the UJTL task. Tasks that this report recommends to be inserted in the UJTL to accommodate OOTWs are shown in italics. All the UJTL subtasks of an analytically- required task of a specified OOTW type are included, but not marked unless specifically called out by another required task.
