Plan type that handles crisis?

• A. CONPLAN
• B. Campaign
• C. Direct
• D. ALERTORD

Answer: (A)

In crisis planning, you need a ready-to-activate framework that spells out how responders will coordinate and what tasks are needed. A CONPLAN provides that: it’s a contingency or crisis-response plan that outlines the concept of operations, major tasks, and responsibilities so planners can quickly tailor it into a full operation plan as the situation unfolds. It’s flexible and designed to be activated when a crisis arises, making it the best fit for handling urgent, evolving scenarios.

A campaign, by contrast, is a long-running, theater-wide effort aimed at achieving strategic objectives over an extended period, not a quick-response crisis plan. A direct plan isn’t a standard term for crisis planning in this context, and an alert order is an instruction to alert forces and begin execution of preplanned actions, not the planning document itself.
