  TASKS AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
  A-43. Protection tasks integration throughout the operations process helps establish control measures against
  potential threats and hazards (see figure A-5). The layering of protection tasks (some redundant) ensures a
  comprehensive scheme of protection. The layered approach of protection provides strength and depth. Units
  use their available capabilities to defend the protection priorities, and a layering of capabilities reduces the
  destructive effect of threats and hazards.

  Figure A-5. Integration of protection throughout the operations process
  A-44. The protection working group ensures the integration of protection equities throughout the operations
  process via integrating processes, continuing activities, the MDMP, working groups, planning sessions, and
  coordination between warfighting functions. This develops and refines a scheme of protection and a
  protection plan that are comprehensive, integrated, layered, redundant, and enduring. All members of the
  protection working group provide input and conduct actions that have beneficial output, which develops the
  scheme of protection and enhances the overall protection plan. The agenda, frequency, composition, input,
  and expected output for the working group are determined by the lead protection working group officer based
  on mission variables and MDMP integration.
