This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The security environment America faces today is extremely complex. While relationships may have improved between historic enemy nation states, the threat of symmetric force on force warfare still exists. The constant spread of violent extremists set on changing the world's geopolitical environment with destructive technology and weapons of mass destruction has evolved into major challenges America must be ready to defeat. These wide ranging threats against sovereign nations and the domains of land, maritime, air, space, and cyberspace, require different approaches towards attaining peace and security. Recognizing the engineering aspect of military operations cannot be overemphasized. The success of any military operation hinges on competent engineers guided by actions proven to be successful during previous operations. Although current and future threats may bring about changes in how military engineers from all Services are employed in joint environments, the primary mission of establishing and maintaining bases of support for the projection of airpower will remain the top priority for Air Force civil engineers. As we face uncertainty and persistent conflict, and increasingly focus on joint, interagency, and multinational operations, the demand for civil engineers and the need for engineer doctrine become increasingly important. Doctrine ensures Air Force civil engineers provide effective support to the commander of Air Force forces (COMAFFOR) and remain capable of rapidly responding to crises and other contingencies. This Air Force doctrine document (AFDD), “Engineer Operations (AFDD 3-34),” directly supports AFDD 1, Air Force Basic Doctrine, Organization, and Command, and AFDD 4-0, Agile Combat Support. It sets forth guiding principles on employing Air Force civil engineers at any level of warfare, strategic, operational, or tactical, under the command and control of the COMAFFOR, within any operational area including the homeland. It incorporates Air Force civil engineer doctrinal precepts, focusing on engineer fundamentals, organization and command, planning and execution, and capabilities. This document also supports all other Air Force doctrine and describes how the COMAFFOR employs engineer capabilities throughout all phases of military operations. This document is designed to assist the COMAFFOR, commanders, and planners to effectively integrate Air Force engineer capabilities into all types of military operations. It establishes doctrine and procedures for Air Force civil engineers as part of the Air Force's agile combat support, as well as engineers supporting civil, joint, or combined missions across the range of military operations. It is authoritative but requires judgment in application. It describes guiding principles to be used to organize and employ engineer capabilities to achieve strategic, operational, and tactical objectives. While the document speaks primarily to Air Force civil engineer support to Air Force missions, it is also organized in a manner that addresses Air Force civil engineer roles in joint, interagency, and multinational operations.

Book excerpt: Air Force Doctrine ANNEX 3-30 Command and Control 7 November 2014 Key Considerations of Command and Control. This section introduces basic C2-related definitions (e.g., command, control, command and control, commander) as well as some key precepts (e.g., unity of command, centralized control and decentralized execution, commander's intent; battle rhythm, trust). Operational and Administrative Branches of the Chain of Command. This section discusses the differences between the two branches of the chain of command. This is an important distinction. Command Authorities and Relationships. This section discusses how forces may be assigned or attached to joint and Service commands, how to tie organizations together through careful arrangements of command relationships, and how to transfer forces between organizations. Commanding Airpower. This section outlines the responsibilities of the COMAFFOR and related component command issues. Command and Control Mechanisms. This section provides an overview of the C2 mechanisms within an Air Force component: the air operations center (AOC) and the Air Force forces (AFFOR) staff, along with discussion of AOC liaisons and the joint air component coordination element. (Note that this is an overview; detailed discussion is found in appendices) Organizing Air Force Forces. This section starts with a discussion of the differences between regional and functional organizations. It then introduces the air expeditionary task force as the model for organizing Air Force forces afield. This section also contains critical discussion on integrating regional and functional Air Force forces through specially trained liaisons and supporting command arrangements. There is also discussion of nuclear support to regional commands, homeland organizational considerations, integration of the Air Reserve Components, and the responsibilities of a senior/host installation commander on a base with mixed forces. Presenting Air Force Forces. Once Air Force forces are organized, they should be presented to a JFC for employment. This section provides a primer on joint force organization and air component relationships within a joint force. This section contains critical discussion on presenting an Air Force component at various levels within a combatant command. Several appendices provide deeper discussion of material presented in the main body of the document: Appendix A contains the formal definitions of command authorities and relationships, along with amplifying discussion. Appendix B presents the detailed discussion of a notional AOC. Appendix C presents the detailed discussion of a notional AFFOR staff, with breakdown by directorates and key responsibilities. Appendix D provides an overview of the theater air control system. Appendix E discusses accessing the Air Reserve Components.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force Doctrine ANNEX 3-03 Counterland 16 April 2014 Military history provides many examples where airpower successfully engaged enemy land forces in modern warfare, from the breakout of Normandy in World War II to the destruction of the Iraqi army in 1991 and 2003 to the overthrow of the Taliban government. Attacking the capabilities of adversary land forces through airpower, counterland operations often provide crucial capabilities on the path to military victory. As a vital element in joint warfare, airpower continues to demonstrate a unique ability to accurately find, fix, track, target, engage and assess (F2T2EA) enemy land forces. With a solid comprehension of counterland operations, airmen increase their ability to properly plan and execute air operations against enemy land forces.

This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force Doctrine ANNEX 3-14 SPACE OPERATIONS 19 June 2012 Historically, militaries have viewed the "high ground" as essential to maintaining the advantage in warfare. With rare exception, whichever forces owned the high ground gained superior ability to maneuver and maintain visibility of the operational environment to effectively "own the fight." In that tradition, space assets orbiting high above our planet's surface offer a superior position and an expansive view of the Earth, as satellites can observe, collect, and disseminate information and enable command and control (C2) of US and allied forces globally. The Air Force views space operations as integral to joint force planning and operations. Space operations involve space superiority and mission assurance. The essence of space superiority is controlling the ultimate high ground of space. However, space superiority is focused on mission assurance rather than dominating or "owning" space. The ultimate goal of achieving space superiority should be to maintain our own space capabilities when contested and ensure unhindered mission continuity through any conflict.

Download or read book Conquest in Cyberspace written by Martin C. Libicki and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-16 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With billions of computers in existence, cyberspace, 'the virtual world created when they are connected,' is said to be the new medium of power. Computer hackers operating from anywhere can enter cyberspace and take control of other people's computers, stealing their information, corrupting their workings, and shutting them down. Modern societies and militaries, both pervaded by computers, are supposedly at risk. As Conquest in Cyberspace explains, however, information systems and information itself are too easily conflated, and persistent mastery over the former is difficult to achieve. The author also investigates how far 'friendly conquest' in cyberspace extends, such as the power to persuade users to adopt new points of view. He discusses the role of public policy in managing cyberspace conquests and shows how the Internet is becoming more ubiquitous and complex, such as in the use of artificial intelligence.

This book was released on 2012-05-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Manual (FM) 3-34 is the Army's keystone doctrinal publication for the Engineer Regiment. It presents overarching doctrinal guidance and direction for conducting engineer activities and shows how they contribute to full spectrum operations. It provides a common framework and language for engineer support to operations and constitutes the doctrinal foundation for developing the other fundamentals and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) detailed in subordinate doctrinal manuals in the FM 3-34 series. This manual is a key integrating publication that links the doctrine for the Engineer Regiment with Army capstone doctrine and joint doctrine. It focuses on synchronizing and coordinating the diverse range of capabilities in the Engineer Regiment to successfully support the Army and its mission. FM 3-34 provides operational guidance for engineer commanders and trainers at all echelons and forms the foundation for Army Engineer School curricula. To comprehend the doctrine contained in FM 3-34, readers must first understand the elements of full spectrum operations, operational design, and the elements of combat power as described in FM 3-0 and addressed in FM 2-0, FM 3-13, FM 3-37, FM 4-0, FM 6-0, and FM 6-22. In addition, readers must be familiar with FM 3-07, FM 3-28, and FM 3-90. They must understand how offensive, defensive, and stability or civil support operations complement each other. Readers must also understand the operations process described in FM 5-0, and the terms and symbols in FM 1-02/MCRP5-12A. This edition of FM 3-34 provides keystone doctrine on engineer support to operations with a chapter for each of the three major sections of the engineer framework and chapters on mission command considerations, engineers in the operations process, and sustainment considerations. Chapter 1 draws from the right side of the engineer framework in figure 1, page vii, examining the context within which engineer support to operations occurs, focusing on those aspects that are most significant to engineers. It provides an engineer view of the following: the operational environment (OE), the operational and mission variables used to describe the OE, unified action, the continuum of operations, the levels of war, and the Army's operational concept-full spectrum operations. The chapter highlights the requirement to simultaneously support offensive, defensive, and stability or civil support operations. Chapter 2 addresses the left side of the engineer framework, providing an overview of the Engineer Regiment, its organizational modularity, and its capabilities. It defines and discusses the engineer disciplines (combat, general, and geospatial engineering), highlighting their interdependence. Chapter 3 addresses the middle portion of the engineer framework, defining the four lines of engineer support and describing their relationships to the engineer disciplines, full spectrum operations, and the warfighting functions. It describes engineer contributions to combat power linked through the lines of engineer support, the capabilities inherent in the engineer disciplines, and the warfighting functions. Chapter 4 provides mission command considerations for engineer support, to include the use of various functional and multifunctional headquarters, describing how the Engineer Regiment "organizes for combat, and synchronizes engineer support to operations with those of other forces. It discusses engineer force tailoring, task organizing, and mission command of engineer forces. Chapter 5 describes how engineer support is integrated into the supported commander's overall operation throughout the operations process. It describes engineer planning activities and considerations for preparing, executing, and continuously assessing engineer support. Chapter 6 discusses sustainment of engineer capabilities. Successful engineer support to operations includes effective incorporation of sustainment support.

This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat or use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons by hostile regimes and terrorists represents one of the most difficult challenges facing our nation and our Air Force. This challenge is further complicated by the advance of technologies used to develop and deliver these weapons, making it possible for our enemies to attack us at a time and place of their choosing, with little or no warning. Success in defending our nation, our military forces, and partners and allies depends on how effectively we apply air, space, and cyberspace power to counter this threat. Many of our adversaries are actively seeking or already possess weapons of mass destruction and have stated their willingness to employ them. The key to successful protection against this threat is our people and their dedication to this vital mission. This doctrine document, “Counter-Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operations” describes the Air Force's role in countering the threat or use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons at the operational level of war. Air Force commanders and personnel must be able to prevent an attack of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and be able to counter the resulting effects if such weapons are used. Air Force procedures and training must be developed with joint operations in mind. Airmen must understand how to organize Air Force forces and how to present them to the joint force commander to ensure safety and survivability for all personnel while ensuring mission accomplishment. This Air Force doctrine document details principles for conducting counter-chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear operations. Our Air Force has tremendous capability available to address this challenge. We now use five pillars to describe how to counter these weapons: proliferation prevention, counterforce, active defense, passive defense, and consequence management. This doctrine document provides guidance for understanding, planning, and executing counter-chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear operations to enable US forces to survive and operate effectively in this deadly environment.
