Step 7 JPP involves which activity?

• A. Plan or Order Development
• B. COA approval
• C. Dissemination and integration
• D. Processing and exploitation

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is the formal endorsement of the chosen course of action. After a team has created and analyzed several options, Step seven is the point where senior leadership reviews and approves the preferred COA. This approval confirms that the selected approach aligns with strategic goals, is feasible with available resources, and acceptable given risks and constraints. With that authorization, planners can proceed to turning the approved COA into a concrete plan or order. Without this sign-off, moving ahead with detailed planning would risk pursuing an option that may not be accepted later.
