The PMESII-PT framework is a comprehensive analytical tool used by military planners to assess the operational environment by examining seven key domains: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Terrain, and Time. It is often applied when conducting operations in foreign regions, especially in ~~the context of~~ joint, interagency, or multinational operations. The framework helps identify critical factors across multiple domains that could impact the mission.

The PMESII-PT framework is a comprehensive analytical tool used by military planners to assess the operational environment by examining seven key domains: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Terrain, and Time. It is often applied when conducting operations in foreign regions, especially in joint, interagency, or multinational operations. The framework helps identify critical factors across multiple domains that could impact the mission.

When applying PMESII-PT, planners should consider three key perspectives: friendly forces, enemy forces, and the host nation (which could be friendly, neutral, or adversarial).

First, a [[Center of Gravity Analysis Guide|Center of Gravity (COG)]] analysis must be completed to identify critical vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities should be prioritized and then weighed against the PMESII-PT factors.

As you research these PMESII-PT factors, continuously update ~~both~~ the COG analysis and PMESII-PT assessment as new information emerges. This iterative approach ensures ~~that~~ you capture all relevant details and their potential impact on operations.

For each PMESII-PT factor, consider the following:

In this framework, "Country1" refers to friendly forces, "CountryA" refers to the host nation, and "CountryX" refers to the adversary.

Once the PMESII-PT analysis is complete, you can assess how each factor influences the [[~~Center_of_Gravity~~|COG]] and adjust the strategy accordingly.
