# Campaign Execution — aDNA Lattice Examples

This lattice models the execution hierarchy that built this entire documentation site. Operation Rosetta — the campaign that produced every page you can navigate here — follows exactly this workflow: campaigns decompose into phased missions, missions decompose into session-sized objectives, and human gates prevent auto-advancement between phases.

The workflow includes feedback loops: when a session closes but objectives remain, it loops back to open a new session. When all objectives in a mission complete, the AAR protocol fires before the next mission starts. These cycles mirror the OODA cascade described in the aDNA standard.

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Lattice type** | `workflow` |
| **Execution mode** | `workflow` |
| **Node count** | 9 |
| **Tier** | L1 (local) |

## How it connects

This lattice demonstrates [Mission Decomposition](/patterns/mission-decomposition) as an executable graph. The phase gate node implements the standing order that phase transitions require human approval. The AAR node at mission close implements the [SITREP](/glossary/glossary-sitrep) and [Mission](/glossary/glossary-mission) protocols. See [The Convergence Model](/learn/concepts/convergence) for how each level narrows context.
