Often not receivd as objectives; if they are it's still an exercise in claifying and reviewing for completeness. It's part of te staff function - o see f somethinmg was left out (Sceptical Review)
Checkmate say they NEVER get any objectives - if not, theywrite them themselves nd then brief theri bss, who in turn will brief the JFACC, who my or my not brief the CJTF (Doug suspects he does)
