The image illustrates how VisPlan structures a representative Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) planning approach into seven capability lines. The construct is anchored by the defined Objectives and the desired End State, also referred to as the Position Statement, depicted on the right side of the plan.

Each capability line identifies the critical Decisive Conditions required to achieve the stated objectives. These decisive conditions represent the intended operational effects or ambitions associated with each capability and collectively contribute to the realization of the End State.

The central circle divides the plan into a series of phases, representing the operational stages of execution. These phases provide a temporal and logical structure for the sequencing and synchronization of activities across capabilities and domains.

Multi-Domain Operations are defined, directed, and coordinated at the strategic political and/or military level, from which planning guidance is derived and execution is conducted across relevant domains to achieve the desired strategic End State.
