This book was released on 2001 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As today's military operations increasingly involve non-traditional application of our military services, our enemy also becomes non-traditional. There is essentially no credible force that can assert its military might against our armed forces in the traditional methods of warfare. Therefore, they must resort to unconventional attacks against our armed forces with the intent of constructing an atmosphere of terror among our forces and weakening the national will of our citizens at home. Forces critical to the Operational Commander are threatened daily by terrorist organizations on both a local and global level. Success today depends upon the strong defense of our forces. This can only be accomplished by standardizing our force protection procedures, integrating those procedures into our training, fully funding both training and equipment and placing one individual in charge of executing those procedures, the Joint Force Component Commander for Antiterrorism/Force Protection.

Book excerpt: This study focuses on providing force protection for the Navy's future minimally manned surface combatants. Following the attack on the USS Cole, force protection became the Navy's primary warfare concern. In order to add experience and defensive depth, United States Coast Guard Port Security Units augmented Navy ships' force assets in providing Antiterrorism and Force Protection. Concurrently, the Navy set out to build the next family of surface combatants, the DD (X) class. One of the cornerstones of the program, as specified in the operational requirements document (ORD), is that the DD (X) have an optimally sized crew of 95, not to exceed 150. This is nearly a 70 percent reduction from surface combatant crew sizes of today. How can the Navy reasonably expect to provide force protection for minimally manned combatants when it is having trouble doing so today? This study examines the tasks required to provide adequate force protection, the manning required to perform those tasks, and the associated manning costs. The analysis determined that the new DD (X) class will only be able to perform the force protection tasks if manned near the 150 personnel mark, and even then will require a security augmentation force, such as a Port Security Unit (PSU). The appendixes provide a force protection task list, USS Yorktown manning information and inport watchbill, PSU manning information and watchbill, PSU master training list, U.S. Coast Guard estimated PSU deployment costs, and DD (X) class manning information and costs.

Download or read book Modeling and 3D Visualization for Evaluation of Anti terrorism force Protection Alternatives Phase II Final Report written by Don Brutzman and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Modern Modeling and Simulation (M & S) techniques offer flexible, economical capabilities for assessing naval installation security systems, equipment and Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). These tools are useful for assessing risk and vulnerability in a broad range of operational situations and in response to a spectrum of threat scenarios. Of particular interest to both military and homeland-defense analysts is the combined shore-side and water-side protection of naval and harbor facilities. In August of 2005, the NPS MOVES Institute was funded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) to investigate and develop such an analytic tool. This report describes the work accomplished during Phase II of the Modeling and 3D Visualization for Evaluation of Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection Alternatives project in order to achieve that goal. Waterside protection includes surveillance (detection and assessment), delay (e.g., barriers), and warning and response means (e.g., patrol craft). The purpose of the Phase II effort was to develop an analysis tool that supports assessment of the effectiveness of various sensor, barrier, and response systems to enable decision-makers to make good judgments on what to purchase and employ. For example, if there is no physical barrier in a port to protect naval assets then when does a threat need to be detected to permit sufficient time to intercept/neutralize and how many patrol craft and/or weapon stations are needed to provide an acceptable level of protection? Alternatively, if a barrier is employed that effectively stops all small boats for a designated period of time, then when does detection need to occur and how many patrol boats are needed for the same level of protection? With various surveillance system assets (including surface and/or subsurface sensors), how much time is available between detection/reporting and response? The selection of effective combinations of sensors, barriers, and response systems requires a tool that can represent all these various assets and physical factors, providing insights into the most effective combinations that provide an acceptable level of protection at the least cost (in terms of manpower and dollars) and least risk (in terms of lives and infrastructure)."--Page i.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The individuals charged with the task of planning, developing and implementing force protection measures both at the unit and installation level must consider numerous factors in formulating the best defensive posture. Currently, force protection professionals utilize multiple sources of information regarding capabilities of systems that are available, and combine that knowledge with the requirements of their installation to create an overall plan. A crucial element missing from this process is the ability to determine, prior to system procurement, the most effective combination of systems and employment for a wide range of possible terrorist attack scenarios. This thesis is inspired by the work done by James Harney, LT, USN (2003). The thesis will expand the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Tool developed during the original thesis by including the capability of testing force protection measures in multiple scenarios by utilizing models of force protection equipment and forces, virtual worlds of existing naval facilities, and terrorist agents that exhibit intent and behavioral characteristics which can test the effectiveness of the force protection equipment used. The result of this work is a scalable and repeatable methodology for generating large-scale, agent-based simulations for AT/FP problem domains providing 3D visualization, report generation, and statistical analysis.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the inception of MSCINST 5530.3C--the equivalent document to the International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS) and the Maritime Transportation and Security Act (MTSA) for government-owned/government-operated merchant vessels--many Military Sealift Command vessels are failing to comply fully with the anti-terrorism and force protection (ATFP) standards. The author audits vessels to determine organizational deficiencies in anti-terrorism and force protection capabilities, and conducts a test of the "Embarked Force Protection Officer" phase of the Afloat Force Protection Officer (AFPO) Program in order to evaluate its effectiveness as a means of addressing those deficiencies. The study finds that current shipboard organization is incapable of effectively administering MSC's Force Protection program, and that the AFPO Program is the best cure.--From Executive summary.

Book excerpt: U.S. forces, while engaged in commitments throughout the world in support of the National Military Strategy, face a formidable threat from terrorists. This terrorist threat exists throughout the spectrum of military operations. Lessons from the past indicate that terrorists will seek to exploit weaknesses in our force protection. They will find seams in our woven force protection fabric and rip them open when we are least expecting them to do so. The U.S. military must not only learn from past incidents, but observe trends in terrorist organizations and closely monitor their capabilities to better provide force protection for its troops. Terrorist organizations are becoming increasingly global and are using technology to expand their reach, intelligence, targeting and lethality. As this threat evolves, so should our ability to counter that threat. The Geographic CINCs, Service Component Commanders and Joint Task Force Commanders must lead a comprehensive proactive approach to providing force protection against this growing terrorist threat. This approach should involve force protection planning throughout all phases of military operations. Without an antiterrorism element in our force protection planning, we will always be reacting to the terrorists' actions.
Download or read book Naval Force Protection in the Littorals written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy relies heavily upon its ability to operate forward in the littoral regions of the world. Forward-deployed naval forces provide the critical operational connection between peacetime operations and the initial requirements of a developing crisis or major regional contingency. As advanced military technologies become available to existing and potential adversaries, the Navy's ability to maintain freedom of action in these coastal regions will likely become challenged. A force protection scheme for naval operations in the littorals that supports the "full-dimensional protection" concept discussed in Joint Vision 2010 has yet to be developed. Naval force protection must consider the challenges associated with naval operations in confined waters. Increased risk must be managed as maneuver space is restricted and time to react to an adversary's actions is significantly reduced. Forms of power projection need to be developed that match force protection capabilities with the threats and reduce the risk to forces operating forward. Any force protection scheme must remain realistic, flexible, and operationally executable. It necessitates achieving information superiority over the enemy, establishing an extended reach capability for delivering fires, and the operational dispersion of naval forces. The next few years are a critical period for the U.S. Navy as potential adversaries seek to exploit an ever increasing number of military options offered by technological developments. Technology is accelerating the need for JV 2010 doctrine development. It must be designed so that force protection and the manner in which forces are organized achieve a good fit with technology

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a national security strategy that emphasizes peacetime engagement and overseas presence, the recent terrorist attack against the USS Cole (DDG-67) raises concerns about the effectiveness of current peacetime maritime force protection policies, procedures and practices. The Department of Defense reexamined and improved it's force protection program after the 1983 marine barracks attack and the l996 Khobar Towers bombing. With the shift in terrorist targets to maritime units, a similar analysis of the Commander, U.S. Central Command (CINCCENT), and Commander, Naval Forces U.S. Central Command (NAVCENT) Force Protection programs yields recommendations on ways the Combatant Commander (CINC) can improve maritime force protection. Using the attack on the USS Cole as an illustrative example, the organizations, policies, procedures and practices of CINCCENT and NAVCENT are analyzed for deficiencies and disconnects. Also, the actual practices that were used throughout the chain of command in the case of the USS Cole are analyzed to determine if published guidance was followed. Four recommendations are provided based on the analysis. Treating the fight against terrorism as war, the four recommendations are formulated by applying principles of war and the four questions of operational art to the theater force protection and antiterrorism program. The Theater CINC can improve force protection for inport maritime vessels by applying select principles of war and the four questions of operational art to maritime force protection and peacetime engagement policies.
