Which offices must an installation contact to determine which OPLAN it supports?

• A. MAJCOM A3/A4, Wing/XP office, TPFDD from DCAPES or JOPES
• B. Wing/XP office, JOPES only
• C. DCAPES Office, JOPES Desk
• D. MAJCOM A3/A4, Wing/XP office, TPFDD from DCAPES or JOPES

Answer: (A)

Knowing which OPLAN an installation supports requires tying together authority, local planning, and the actual deployment data. The MAJCOM A3/A4 provides the official, current OPLAN status at the higher level, so you know which plan is in effect. The Wing/XP office handles installation-level planning and execution integration, confirming how that higher-level plan applies on base and who is responsible for what. The Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) from DCAPES or JOPES contains the deployment data for the plan—the specific units, timelines, and sequencing that show exactly what the installation supports under that OPLAN. Together, these three sources give a complete and authoritative picture: the overarching plan, the local implementation context, and the deployment data that ties them together. Relying on only one system or omitting the higher-level or local planning perspective leaves gaps in determining the correct OPLAN.
