The Scheme of Maneuver nests inside which plan?

• A. Concept of Operations
• B. Mission Statement
• C. Logistics Plan
• D. Risk Assessment

Answer: (A)

The Scheme of Maneuver is the execution piece that shows how forces will move and fight to carry out the overall approach. It sits inside the Concept of Operations because CONOPS lays out the mission’s general approach, while the Scheme of Maneuver translates that approach into the specific arrangement, movement, and sequencing needed to achieve the objectives. A Mission Statement is about purpose and scope, not how operations will be conducted. The Logistics Plan covers sustainment, and the Risk Assessment focuses on hazards and mitigation. So, the Scheme of Maneuver belongs within the Concept of Operations.
