Book Army Techniques Publication Atp 6 02 70 Techniques for Spectrum Management Operations December 2015

Download or read book Army Techniques Publication Atp 6 02 70 Techniques for Spectrum Management Operations December 2015 written by United States Government US Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 6-02.70 Techniques for Spectrum Management Operations December 2015, is the Army's doctrine for spectrum management operations in support of unified land operations. This publication replaces FM 6-02.70, Army Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and introduces the subject in the form of an Army techniques publication. Aligned with FM 6-02, Signal Support to Operations and FM 3-38, Cyber Electromagnetic Activities, this publication provides the Army's current doctrine with regard to spectrum management operations. ATP 6-02.70 contains updated doctrinal information and makes numerous changes to the information found in FM 6-02.70. The most significant change is the introduction and use of the acronym SMO (spectrum management operations), introduced in FM 6-02, Signal Support to Operations. This change provides less confusion to Soldiers and legitimizes the acronym already in use within the spectrum community. The content in ATP 6-02.70 aligns with FM 6-02.70 however, changes to current Army doctrine and the Army's emphasis on cyber electromagnetic activities prompted new terminology. This publication contains five chapters and five appendixes- Chapter 1 provides an overview of spectrum management operations, states the objectives, and describes spectrum management operations core functions. Chapter 2 discusses spectrum management operations support and input to the military decisionmaking process and briefly describes the common operational picture. Spectrum managers provide support at every step of the military decisionmaking process. Chapter 3 links Army spectrum management operations to the warfighting functions, describes how spectrum management operations support, and enables commander's efforts as they exercise mission command. Chapter 4 describes spectrum information and products necessary at the corps and joint task force levels. Spectrum managers are located within three organizations in a joint task force: the joint frequency management office, the joint spectrum management element, and the cyber electromagnetic activities (CEMA) element. These agencies have a wide variety of inputs, collaboration, and products. This chapter shows input and products from different joint agencies displayed in table format. Chapter 5 is an overview of the many useful tools spectrum managers use in support of unified land operations. These tools operate within a network-centric environment using shared databases within the spectrum community. Finally, the ATP contains five appendixes containing standard tasks and steps that describe spectrum management operations related tasks. Appendix A describes the electromagnetic spectrum manager task list and each supporting sub-tasks. This appendix also contains flow charts that show the collaboration process between electromagnetic spectrum managers and the CEMA element. Appendix B provides spectrum management operations tool capabilities and compatibility between software systems. These net-centric systems are in many cases linked and accessible through Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) and SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET). Appendix C provides basic electromagnetic physics and underlying principles of the electromagnetic spectrum. Appendix D introduces the 12-step spectrum management lifecycle. This process serves as a guide to follow in establishing a functional and efficient spectrum management program. The lifecycle encompasses the complete process of providing spectrum management operations support to the commander and is applicable to all spectrum managers regardless of duty location. Appendix E provides the reader with an overview of the military time zone designators. This appendix describes time zones for civilian and military uses. The chart, included in this appendix, provides a valuable tool to reference time zones in all parts of the world.

Book Field Manual FM 3 38 Cyber Electromagnetic Activities February 2014

Download or read book Field Manual FM 3 38 Cyber Electromagnetic Activities February 2014 written by United States Government Us Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Manual FM 3-38 Cyber Electromagnetic Activities provides overarching doctrinal guidance and direction for conducting cyber electromagnetic activities (CEMA). This manual describes the importance of cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) to Army forces and provides the tactics and procedures commanders and staffs use in planning, integrating, and synchronizing CEMA. This manual provides the information necessary for Army forces to conduct CEMA that enable them to shape their operational environment and conduct unified land operations. It provides enough guidance for commanders and their staffs to develop innovative approaches to seize, retain, and exploit advantages throughout an operational environment. CEMA enable the Army to achieve desired effects in support of the commander's objectives and intent. The principal audience for FM 3-38 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should see applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning cyberspace operations, electronic warfare (EW), and spectrum management operations (SMO). Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. United States (U.S.) forces operate in an increasingly network-based world. The proliferation of information technologies is changing the way humans interact with each other and their environment, including interactions during military operations. This broad and rapidly changing operational environment requires that today's Army must operate in cyberspace and leverage an electromagnetic spectrum that is increasingly competitive, congested, and contested. FM 3-38, Cyber Electromagnetic Activities, is the first doctrinal field manual of its kind. The integration and synchronization of cyber electromagnetic activities (CEMA) is a new concept. The Army codified the concept of CEMA in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-0, Unified Land Operations, and ADP 6-0, Mission Command. The mission command warfighting function now includes four primary staff tasks: conduct the operations process (plan, prepare, execute, assess), conduct knowledge management and information management, conduct inform and influence activities (IIA), and conduct CEMA. The purpose of FM 3-38 is to provide an overview of principles, tactics, and procedures on Army integration of CEMA as part of unified land operations. At its heart, CEMA are designed to posture the Army to address the increasing importance of cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) and their role in unified land operations. CEMA are implemented via the integration and synchronization of cyberspace operations, electronic warfare (EW), and spectrum management operations (SMO). FM 3-38 contains seven chapters: Chapter 1 defines CEMA and provides an understanding of the fundamentals of the CEMA staff tasks. It briefly describes each activity and provides a framework for the emerging operational environment that includes cyberspace. Chapter 2 begins with a discussion of the commander's role in the conduct of CEMA. It then describes the CEMA element, its role in the operations process, and how it interacts with, supports, and receives support from other staff members. Chapter 3 provides tactics and procedures specific to cyberspace operations. Chapter 4 provides tactics and procedures specific to EW. Chapter 5 provides tactics and procedures specific to SMO and the functions executed by the spectrum manager. Chapter 6 describes how CEMA are executed through the operations processes, including other integrating processes. Chapter 7 describes considerations unique to CEMA when conducting operations with unified action partners. Appendix A provides guidance on CEMA input to operations orders and plans.

Book Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Operations  Joint Publication 6 01

Download or read book Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Operations Joint Publication 6 01 written by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, “Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Operations (Joint Publication 6-01),” provides doctrine for joint electromagnetic spectrum management operations organization, planning, preparation, execution, and assessment in support of joint operations. Military operations are complicated by increasingly complex demands on the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). All modern forces depend on the EMS. The EMS is a physical medium through which joint forces conduct operations. The importance of the EMS and its relationship to the operational capabilities is the key focus of joint electromagnetic spectrum management operations (JEMSMO). The EMS is a highly regulated and saturated natural resource. The EMS includes the full range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Joint electromagnetic spectrum operations (JEMSO) include all activities in military operations to successfully plan and execute joint or multinational operations in order to control the electromagnetic operational environment (EMOE). JEMSO is comprised of electronic warfare (EW) and JEMSMO and aims to exploit, attack, protect, and manage resources within the EMOE and resolve electromagnetic interference (EMI) in order to achieve the commander's objectives. JEMSMO is planning, coordinating, and managing joint use of the EMS through operational, engineering, and administrative procedures. The primary goal of JEMSMO is to enable EMS-dependent capabilities and systems to perform their functions in the intended environment without causing or suffering unacceptable interference. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective.

Book Field Manual FM 3 36 Electronic Warfare in Operations February 2009

Download or read book Field Manual FM 3 36 Electronic Warfare in Operations February 2009 written by United States Army and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic warfare (EW) doctrine is a key element in the Army's ongoing effort to rebuild and modernize its EW capability. This publication, FM 3-36, the first Army EW doctrine to be issued in nearly a decade, is as timely as it is essential. In addition to directly supporting traditional EW operations, FM 3-36 is moving the Army's EW strategy into cyberspace and the electromagnetic environment and is a great start in providing guidance to commanders and ultimately our national decision makers. It provides commanders clear concepts and doctrine that maximize operational effectiveness across the electromagnetic spectrum in both traditional and evolving technologies. The global proliferation of electronics and wireless transmissions has evolved into a significant technological advantage for our nation while simultaneously creating a greater dependence on technology. This dependence also presents challenges, as our adversaries are constantly developing the means to use these same wireless networks, electronics, computer networks, and electronic warfare capabilities to launch attacks against us. To meet these challenges, the Army is implementing and integrating network and electronic warfare capabilities to counter the hostile use of cyberspace, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum. FM 3-36 provides Army commanders and their staff guidance on how the electromagnetic spectrum can impact their operations and how friendly EW operations can be used to gain an advantage. This manual describes the application of EW in support of full spectrum operations and provides a baseline for ensuring a common understanding and operational consistency. Although new equipment, tactics, techniques, and procedures continue to be developed, the physics of electromagnetic energy remains constant. So, as new strategies and tactics are devised to meet the cyberspace environment of the 21st century, electronic warfare remains a critical component of our national defense. This updated doctrine and other modifications to the Army's operational strategies are testimony to the innovation and vision on which our nation relies in this era of the Cyber Revolution.

Book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine  1946 76

Download or read book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine 1946 76 written by Robert A. Doughty and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Book Redefining Information Warfare Boundaries for an Army in a Wireless World

Download or read book Redefining Information Warfare Boundaries for an Army in a Wireless World written by Isaac Porche and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the U.S. Army as elsewhere, transmission of digitized packets on Internet-protocol and space-based networks is rapidly supplanting the use of old technology (e.g., dedicated analog channels) when it comes to information sharing and media broadcasting. As the Army moves forward with these changes, it will be important to identify the implications and potential boundaries of cyberspace operations. An examination of network operations, information operations, and the more focused areas of electronic warfare, signals intelligence, electromagnetic spectrum operations, public affairs, and psychological operations in the U.S. military found significant overlap that could inform the development of future Army doctrine in these areas. In clarifying the prevailing boundaries between these areas of interest, it is possible to predict the progression of these boundaries in the near future. The investigation also entailed developing new definitions that better capture this overlap for such concepts as information warfare. This is important because the Army is now studying ways to apply its cyber power and is reconsidering doctrinally defined areas that are integral to operations in cyberspace. It will also be critical for the Army to approach information operations with a plan to organize and, if possible, consolidate its operations in two realms: the psychological, which is focused on message content and people, and the technological, which is focused on content delivery and machines."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Knowledge Management Operations  FM 6 01  1

Download or read book Knowledge Management Operations FM 6 01 1 written by Department Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army embraced knowledge management (KM) as a discipline in 2003. How the Army manages information and facilitates the movement of knowledge has changed dramatically in recent years. This includes the growth of KM within the Army and refinement of associated technology-both hardware and software. Recognizing that the ability to efficiently manage knowledge is essential to effective mission command, the Army authorized the Army Knowledge Management Qualification Course (AKMQ-C), with additional skill identifier (ASI) to prepare Soldiers for KM's complex challenges. KM sections at brigade through theater army headquarters now work with commanders and staffs to help manage knowledge within their organizations; bridging the art of command and the science of control through KM. KM can be summarized in the phrase "Know, Show, Grow!" Know = tacit "head knowledge"; Show = knowledge that is written down and documented (explicit knowledge) to be shared with others; Grow = collaboration toward innovation which sparks new knowledge. What individuals and small elements know that could help others cannot be widely shared without the means to share it. The sheer volume of available information makes it difficult to identify and use that which is relevant. Knowledge management provides the means to efficiently share knowledge, thus enabling shared understanding and learning within organizations. To do this, KM creates, organizes, applies, and transfers knowledge and information between authorized people. It seeks to align people, processes, and tools-to include information technology-within the organization to continuously capture, maintain, and re-use key information and lessons learned to help units learn and adapt and improve mission performance. KM enhances an organization's ability to detect and remove obstacles to knowledge flow, thereby fostering mission success. Because collaboration is the key contributor to KM, it is imperative that everyone be involved in the process, from the generating force that trains and sustains the Soldier to the operating force, which ensures Soldiers survive and thrive every day in every circumstance or location. The contributions of everyone are important because anyone may be the source of an idea that may become the catalyst for a solution that accomplishes missions and saves lives. Though the focus of this document is operations, KM can be used by organizations and individuals to accomplish many tasks. This manual and its successors are intended to provide the guidance on how to use KM successfully to benefit Soldiers at the tip of the spear as well as commanders and staff, in present and future operational environments, in an era of persistent conflict. This manual, "Knowledge Management Operations," provides doctrinal knowledge management (KM) guidance. It provides doctrine for the organization and operations of the KM section, and establishes the doctrinal principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to effectively integrate KM into the operations of brigades and higher. FM 6-01.1 applies to KM activities in Army headquarters from brigade through Army service component command. ("Brigade" includes brigade combat teams, support brigades, functional brigades, and multifunctional brigades.) It applies to the KM section as well as to commanders, staffs, and Army leaders who will have a role in improving KM effectiveness or implementing KM procedures in their organizations. FM 6-01.1 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. The Army currently leads the effort to develop doctrine for KM; thus Army headquarters serving as the headquarters of a joint force land component command or joint task force may adapt this field manual with appropriate modifications until joint doctrine or guidance is provided.

Download or read book Counterinsurgency Field Manual written by The U.S. Army Marine Corps and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the U.S. military invaded Iraq, it lacked a common understanding of the problems inherent in counterinsurgency campaigns. It had neither studied them, nor developed doctrine and tactics to deal with them. It is fair to say that in 2003, most Army officers knew more about the U.S. Civil War than they did about counterinsurgency. The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counterintuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction. An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine. An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism, The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come. The University of Chicago Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports the families of America’s injured servicemen.
