Strategic Operations At USMTC we recognize that Strategic Operations are a valuable and important aspect to any and all practices. Strategic Operations is the scheme, program, or method worked out before an operation or action for the accomplishment of an objective: a plan of attack. Team USMTC uses Strategic Operations as the thinking aspect of planning a change, organizing a project, or planning an operation. USMTC Operations will lay out the goals that need to be accomplished and the ideas for achieving those goals. Strategic Operations can be a simple single-layered plan or a complex of multi-layered plans for accomplishing objectives and may give consideration to tactics. Following the planning of the strategy, USMTC then takes into account Tactics. Tactics are the heart of the strategy. Tactics are the “doing” aspect that follows the planning. It is in the Strategic Operations phase of a plan, where USMTC Operations decides how to achieve a projects goal. In other words, we think about how people will act, i.e., tactics. It is the Strategic Operations which will decide on what tactics will be employed to fulfill the final outcome of a plan.
