What do planners use to create and modify a time-phased force and deployment data (TPFDD) file and build a force list?

• A. Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) edit tool (JET).
• B. Manpower and Equipment Force Packaging System (MEFPAK).
• C. Single Mobility System (SMS).
• D. Rapid query tool (RQT).

Answer: (A)

Creating and maintaining a time-phased force and deployment data file hinges on a tool that lets planners enter, adjust, and synchronize units, dates, and locations across the deployment timeline. The JOPES edit tool is designed for this purpose, providing the interface to create and modify the TPFDD and to assemble the force list. It streamlines adding units, assigning deployment phases, and validating data so the resulting force list accurately reflects who goes when and where they go. This tool integrates with the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System workflow, ensuring the data can be used to generate orders and movement plans consistently. Manpower and Equipment Force Packaging System is a data source that feeds packaging details about personnel and equipment, not the editing tool used to craft the TPFDD itself. The Single Mobility System focuses on movement planning elements and other aspects of mobility, not the core task of editing the TPFDD. The Rapid Query Tool is for fast searching and retrieval of existing data, not for building or modifying deployment schedules.
