TASKS AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION A-43. Protection tasks integration throughout the operations process helps establish control measures against potential threats and hazards (see figure A-5). The layering of protection tasks (some redundant) ensures a comprehensive scheme of protection. The layered approach of protection provides strength and depth. Units use their available capabilities to defend the protection priorities, and a layering of capabilities reduces the destructive effect of threats and hazards.

The protection working group ensures the integration of protection equities throughout the operations process via integrating processes, continuing activities, the MDMP, working groups, planning sessions, and coordination between warfighting functions. This develops and refines a scheme of protection and a protection plan that are comprehensive, integrated, layered, redundant, and enduring. All members of the protection working group provide input and conduct actions that have beneficial output, which develops the scheme of protection and enhances the overall protection plan. The agenda, frequency, composition, input, and expected output for the working group are determined by the lead protection working group officer based on mission variables and MDMP integration.
