  possibility that insurgents might use this opportunity to take action against
  the State, and the distinct possibility that the original or expanded regional
  conflict might lead to extraregional intervention. Figure 1-4 shows an exam-
  ple of a single strategic campaign that includes three strategic goals. (The
  map in this diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily
  reflect the actual size, shape, or physical environment of the State or its
  neighbors.)
  NATIONAL STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN PLAN
  1-18. The purpose of a national strategic campaign plan (national SCP) is to
  integrate all the instruments of national power under a single plan. Even if
  the State hoped to achieve the goal(s) of the campaign by nonmilitary means,
  the national campaign plan would leverage the influence of its Armed Forces’
  strong military presence and provide for the contingency that military force
  might become necessary.
  1-19. The national SCP is the end result of the SID’s planning effort. Based
  on input from all State ministries, this is the plan for integrating the actions
  of all instruments of power to set conditions favorable for achieving the cen-
  tral goal identified in the national security strategy. The Ministry of Defense
  (MOD) is only one of several ministries that provide input and are then re-
  sponsible for carrying out their respective parts of the consolidated national plan.
  1-20. In waging a national strategic campaign, the State never employs mili-
  tary power alone. Military power is most effective when applied in combina-
  tion with diplomatic-political, informational, and economic instruments of
  power. State ministries responsible for each of the four instruments of power
  will develop their own campaign plans as part of the unified national SCP.
  1-21. A national SCP defines the relationships among all State organizations,
  military and nonmilitary, for the purposes of executing that SCP. The SCP
  describes the intended integration, if any, of multinational forces in those in-
  stances where the State is acting as part of a coalition.
  MILITARY STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN PLAN
  1-22. Within the context of the national strategic campaign, the MOD and
  General Staff develop and implement a military strategic campaign. During
  peacetime, the Operations Directorate of the General Staff is responsible for
  developing, staffing, promulgation, and continuing review of the military
  SCP. It must ensure that the military plan would end in achieving military
  conditions that would fit with the conditions created by the diplomatic-
  political, informational, and economic portions of the national plan that are
  prepared by other State ministries. Therefore, the Operations Directorate as-
  signs liaison officers to other important government ministries.
  1-23. Although the State’s Armed Forces (the OPFOR) may play a role in
  strategic operations, the focus of their planning and effort is on the military
  aspects of regional, transition, and adaptive operations. A military strategic
  campaign may include several combined arms, joint, and/or interagency op-
  erations. If the State succeeds in forming a regional alliance or coalition,
  these operations may also be multinational.
