...objectives
In accordance with CHECKMATE usage, the term objectives is used in this document meaning any air campaign objective, i.e. an objective in either one of the four basic levels of Air Campaign Plans described in ACPT: CINC objectives, air objectives, air tasks and air activities. An air objective is thus only one type of objective in air campaign plans.

...others.
There are in principle many other temporal relations that can be specified between objectives in an air campaign, and there are many ontologies of time in AI that specify these in detail. However, CHECKMATE experts have pointed out that to allow a large set of temporal relations to be used as sequencing specifications can be more confusing than helpful. According to them, sequence specifications have an inherent vagueness that makes useless any attempt to specify them more precisely.
