Could someone elaborate on the intent schematic that was used to plan the attack? I have always wondered how big military operations were developed, it's hard to imagine anything of that size and complexity in the civilian world.
I'm sorry that I don't have direct links but most US military doctrine can be found easily in the for of FM's and TM's (field and technical manuals respectively). Many of which are available free on the Internet.
FM's are usually written in a terse and skimmable format.
A good place to start might be US Army FM 7-8 (that's "seven dash eight" not "seven through eight")
