  FM PLANNING USING THE MILITARY DECISION MAKING
  PROCESS (MDMP)
  6-5. FM planners must be thoroughly familiar with the MDMP depicted in figure 6-2 on page 6-4.
  Throughout the MDMP, FM planners should consider how the COAs being developed require FM support
  for the operation. FM planners must tailor FM support to the particular phase of an operation. For example,
  during stability operations, the primary FM focus may shift to expanding special program funding to
  support theater Army efforts to improve infrastructure development and improve monetary institutions and
  programs. Whereas, during offensive tasks FM support focuses primarily on procurement support to
  operational forces. Each operational element of unified land operations needs to be considered throughout
  the MDMP process. See ADP 3-0, Operations, for additional information on unified land operations. ADP
  5-0 contains additional information on MDMP not included in the contents of this manual.
