碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 103 === Abstract It has been 10 years of using the Army Command and Staff Procedures since the army first introduced the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) from the U.S. army. In the past decades, the army has encountered many difficulties, such as ambiguous understandings, exclusions, etc. Thus, this leads the army to a hardship promoting the Army Command and Staff Procedures. The Army Command and Staff Procedures begins with receipt of mission and ends with the completion of the mission. There are three phases in the procedures, planning, preparation, and execution. The planning part derives from the MDMP which includes receipt of mission, mission analysis, COA development, COA analysis, COA comparison, COA approval and conduct OPLAN. For the preparation, there are some things to be done, such as reconnaissance, coordination, task organization, protection, rehearsals, logistics, pre-combat check, maneuver, and refined OPLAN. The execution contains four parts which are receipt of mission, situational estimates, operational guidance, and the execution and assessment of the OPORD. In the procedures, the key of the planning is the production of the OPLAN. However, the execution emphasizes more on the refined plan in accordance with what happens in the battle field and turns it into the execution of the OPORD. Systematical thinking is a method to solve problems. This article based on a variety of systematic archetypes is written to know better on the complexity and the improvements of the Army Command and Staff Procedures by utilizing the circular cause and effect systems.
