Which term is a joint plan consisting of a series of related operations?

• A. PLANORD
• B. Campaign Plan
• C. OPORD
• D. JOA

Answer: (B)

A campaign plan is the big-picture blueprint that ties together a sequence of related military activities to reach a strategic goal. It outlines how the related operations fit together over time, coordinating end state, phases, and the allocation of forces, logistics, and timelines to ensure unity of effort across services and theaters. Because it covers multiple operations and shows how they connect to achieve a broader objective, it best fits a joint plan consisting of a series of related operations. In contrast, an operation order focuses on executing a single operation, and a geographic area like a joint operations area defines where activities occur rather than how they are connected into a campaign. PLANORD isn’t the term used for this concept in this context.
