  the transition to regional operations and thus achieve its strategic goals.
  STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN
  1-15. To achieve one or more specific strategic goals, the NCA would develop
  and implement a specific national strategic campaign. Such a campaign is the
  aggregate of actions of all the State’s instruments of power to achieve a specific
  set of the State’s strategic goals against internal, regional, and/or extraregional
  opponents. There would normally be a diplomatic-political campaign, an infor-
  mation campaign, and an economic campaign, as well as a military campaign.
  All of these must fit into a single, integrated national strategic campaign.
  1-16. The NCA will develop a series of contingency plans for a number of dif-
  ferent specific strategic goals that it might want or need to pursue. These
  contingency plans often serve as the basis for training and preparing the
  State’s forces. These plans would address the allocation of resources to a po-
  tential strategic campaign and the actions to be taken by each instrument of
  national power contributing to such a campaign.

  1-17. Aside from training exercises, the NCA would approve only one strate-
  gic campaign for implementation at a given time. Nevertheless, the single
  campaign could include more than one specific strategic goal. For instance,
  any strategic campaign designed to deal with an insurgency would include
  contingencies for dealing with reactions from regional neighbors or an ex-
  traregional power that could adversely affect the State and its ability to
  achieve the selected goal. Likewise, any strategic campaign focused on a goal
  that involves the State’s invasion of a regional neighbor would have to take
  into consideration possible adverse actions by other regional neighbors, the
