This publication introduces mission threads as a useful concept for planning the protection and defense of missions or capabilities. A mission thread generally includes all activities required to execute a specific mission or task. Aligning thoughts and actions along an end-to-end set of activities (or mission thread) enables commanders, planners, analysts, and operators to better synchronize and focus their efforts to achieve a desired end state. Analysis of mission threads also allows units to identify and assess risk to critical functions. The results inform decisions to accept, reduce, avoid, or elevate the risk. Units may choose short- , medium-, and long-term actions to reduce the likelihood of a critical function failure and reduce its operational impact.
