(2) Purpose and Scope of AMOPS.
The Army Mobilization and Operations Planning System (AMOPS) is the
vehicle by which all components of the Army plan and execute actions to
provide and expand Army forces and resources to meet the requirements of
unified commands. AMOPS serves as the Army supplement to the Joint
Operation Planning System (JOPS). It provides the interface between unified
command plans for deployment and utilization of forces and Army plans for
providing mobilized forces and resources. AMOPS consolidates policies and
procedures, defines responsibilities, and provides a set of documents for
promulgation of policies, guidance and planning assumptions concerning
short-range strategic employment, mobilization, and deployment of Army
Forces.
AMOPS consolidates policies and procedures, and defines responsibilities for
Army participation in the development, coordination, dissemination, review,
and approval of joint operation plans and for Army participation in the Joint
Operation Planning System (JOPS) and the Joint Deployment System (JDS).
AMOPS provides operational planning guidance for the short range strategic
employment of Army forces under both mobilization and non-mobilization
conditions.
AMOPS consolidates policies and procedures, and defines responsibilities for
the development, coordination, dissemination, review, and approval of Army
mobilization plans and for planning the execution thereof.
AMOPS formalizes and documents functional information requirements for
mobilization/ deployment planning and execution as a basis for developing
improved automated systems.
(3) AMOPS Functional Subsystems.
The Army Mobilization and Operations Planning System (AMOPS) provides
guidance to the Army Staff, major commands, and Reserve Components for
the preparation and execution of plans for:
o Assembling the necessary personnel, supplies, equipment, and services to
bring the Army to a state of readiness for war or other national emergency.
o Augmenting theater and other strategic forces and the CONUS base with
Active and Reserve Component units, manpower, and materiel including
their alert, activation, movement, staging, embarkation, transportation, and
debarkation primarily from the continental United States.
o Sustaining the deployed force and CONUS base.
(4) The system may be subdivided into three subsystems that support the
augmentation of theater and other strategic forces and five subsystems that
