Explanation:
I do agree with Anna that this is the military term for a 'position paper', but in the military they do tend to prefer the term "staff paper" or sometimes "option paper".

Position paper


Explanation:
It's basically a military way of saying "position paper" / "נייר עמדה"
from the reference below:
מסמכי עמדה יכולים להיות מנוסחים כמכתב למערכת ועד מסמכים מורכבים כמסמכי עמדה אקדמיים. כמו כן, הם משמשים ארגונים להצגת הסבר והצדקה אודות חזונם, אמונתם והמלצות למדיניות
