NORAD AND USNORTHCOM PUBLICATION SERIES

The NORAD and USNORTHCOM Publication Series is organized into a comprehensive
hierarchy as shown in the chart above.
• Capstone publications constitute the foundation for the Publication Series and provide the
Commands’ strategic-level guidance, direction and doctrine. These capstone publications
link the series to the Secretary of Defense and Chief of Defence Staff and Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff direction and joint doctrine.
• Keystone publications are based upon specific Command missions as determined by the
Commander. Keystone publications are called Concepts of Employment and provide
operational-level guidance, force employment direction and Tactics, Techniques and
Procedures (TTP). They are numbered 0-X. Keystone publications include the Commands’
Battle Staff Standard Operating Procedures (BSOP). Series numbers 1-01 through 1-05 are
reserved for BSOP publications.
• Supporting Publications provide execution-level guidance, force employment direction
and TTP. These supporting publications are called Concepts of Execution (CONEX) and
can be functionally aligned or created by a subordinate commander, an assigned component
command headquarters or supporting commander. Functional CONEXs are numbered to
correspond to the sponsoring NORAD and USNORTHCOM sponsoring directorate.
Subordinate unit CONEXs are assigned specific numbers and titles corresponding to each
organization.
