Upon receipt of capability gap requirements from USG planners, the contractor conducts deliberate or crisis action planning for the integration of contractor capabilities into theater priority plans and emerging requirements, packages and presents planning results to the CMG planning staff for consideration and acceptance, and prepares to transition to support of the Mission Integration Division upon government execution of a crisis response surge requirement.
