This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army techniques publication (ATP), “Army Techniques Publication for Forward Arming and Refueling Points,” describes forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operations for aviation units. It provides aviation commanders, staff elements, aviation support battalions (ASBs), and forward support company (FSC) personnel with a comprehensive overview of the purpose, organization, and operation of a FARP. It also includes planning considerations for FARP setup and transportation planning considerations for Class III and V products. The principles in this ATP apply to all aviation units potentially involved in forward arming and refueling missions. The Combined Arms Support Command is the proponent for these operations and the military occupational specialties related to fueling and ammunition operations. This ATP specifies the unique procedures that ammunition, arming, and refueling personnel perform during FARP and rapid refuel operations in the primary assembly area (AA). The FARP enables commanders to extend their reach within the brigade combat team (BCT), division, or corps areas of operation (AO) during attack, air assault, or aviation support missions. The FARP's ability to provide fuel and ammunition where and when needed on the battlefield is vital to the success of Army aviation combat missions.

Download or read book Army Tactical Standard Operating Procedures ATP 3 90 90 written by Department Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-90.90 facilitates development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in order to enhance efficiency and adaptability across the force. ATP 3-90.90 achieves this purpose through linking to a milWiki portal under the milSuite uniform resource locator (URL) containing guidance for tactical SOPs and unclassified examples of SOPs for reference. The SOP portal provides a baseline for developing new SOPs quickly and a forum for improving existing SOPs. The portal presents best practices consistent with doctrinal principles. The Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate established the SOP portal in 2009. The authors attempted to align the original information with pertinent doctrine and regulations. Where the portal's contents differ from current doctrine and regulations, the latter take precedence. The information in the SOP portal is not authoritative doctrine. The examples in the portal do not provide ready-to-use SOPs for Army units. Soldiers developing SOPs for their units are encouraged to apply critical thinking while referring to the models and other resources to aid their own content development. At a minimum, portal users must be familiar with this ATP, Field Manuals (FMs) 5-0 and 6-99.2; Army Regulations (ARs) 25-1, 34-4, and 380-5; and Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 25-403. Soldiers are encouraged to use the portal to collaborate, to improve the portal's contents, and to upload new SOP examples. The SOP portal is secure and requires an Army Knowledge Online or Defense Knowledge Online login. The portal's contents are unclassified. Neither this manual nor the SOP portal is intended to regulate the appearance or content of unit SOPs. This ATP uses joint terms where applicable. When formal military terms are identified in the text of this ATP, the terms are italicized and the number of the proponent manual follows the definition. A standard operating procedure is a set of instructions covering those features of operations which lend themselves to a definite or standardized procedure without loss of effectiveness. The procedure is applicable unless ordered otherwise (JP 3-31). A SOP is both standing and standard: it instructs how to perform a prescribed and accepted process established for completing a task. Features of operations that lend themselves to standardization are common and usually detailed processes performed often and requiring minimal variation each time. Well-written and properly used unit tactical SOPs enhance effective execution of tasks; the benefits of SOPs are numerous. They reduce training time, the loss of unwritten information, the commission of errors, the omission of essential steps or processes, and the time required for completion of tasks. This does not mean, however, that carrying out SOPs never requires thought or that SOPs should never change. Indeed, tactical units must change some operating procedures as rapidly as operational environments and missions change. The SOP portal helps units avoid an unnecessary loss of effectiveness that could occur by maintaining unthinking dependence on outdated written procedures. The portal also helps units avoid a loss of effectiveness that could occur when units delay writing down processes that need to become standardized. The doctrine in this manual provides techniques for developing unit tactical SOPs. Units throughout the Army can take advantage of technology to obtain guidance, collaborate in real time, and find information quickly. This manual and the SOP portal are intended to enhance operational adaptability Army-wide. In the short term, the information in the SOP portal will help units establish or improve SOPs more rapidly. In the long term, the intention is that more and more units will build SOPs using the portal and the doctrine in this manual. SOPs throughout the Army should increase in similarity as the combination of doctrinal guidance and Army-wide milWiki collaboration facilitates consensus.

This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, "Aircraft Recovery Operations," (FM 3-04.513) is the Army's doctrine for battlefield and garrison recovery operations. Emphasis is placed on modular force structure and the enhanced operational capability provided by Army aviation transformation. It builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. This publication is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and evolving responses to the diverse threats to national security. Aircraft recovery missions include the assessment, repair, and retrieval, if possible, of aircraft forced down due to component malfunction, accident, or combat-related damage that prevents the continued safe flight or operation of the aircraft. The aircraft recovery mission is complete upon the return of all personnel and either: The return of the aircraft through self-recovery or dedicated recovery utilizing aerial or surface recovery methods and techniques, or The selective cannibalization and destruction or abandonment of the aircraft. Aircraft recovery is a pre-planned mission for all units with assigned or operational control of Army aircraft and may require extensive coordination with supporting units. Aircraft recovery is time sensitive to the tactical situation. Aircraft recovery and maintenance evacuations are closely related, however, maintenance evacuation is the physical act of moving an aircraft from one maintenance location to another.

Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-90.90 facilitates development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in order to enhance efficiency and adaptability across the force. ATP 3-90.90 achieves this purpose through linking to a milWiki portal under the milSuite uniform resource locator (URL) containing guidance for tactical SOPs and unclassified examples of SOPs for reference. The SOP portal provides a baseline for developing new SOPs quickly and a forum for improving existing SOPs. The portal presents best practices consistent with doctrinal principles. Soldiers developing SOPs for their units are encouraged to apply critical thinking while referring to the models and other resources to aid their own content development. At a minimum, portal users must be familiar with this ATP, Field Manuals (FMs) 5-0 and 6-99.2; Army Regulations (ARs) 25-1, 34-4, and 380-5; and Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 25-403. Soldiers are encouraged to use the portal to collaborate, to improve the portal's contents, and to upload new SOP examples. The SOP portal is secure and requires an Army Knowledge Online or Defense Knowledge Online login. The portal's contents are unclassified. Neither this manual nor the SOP portal is intended to regulate the appearance or content of unit SOPs. Note. In June 2010, JP 3-31 changed standing operating procedure to standard operating procedure. The meaning is unchanged. The doctrine in this manual provides techniques for developing unit tactical SOPs. Units throughout the Army can take advantage of technology to obtain guidance, collaborate in real time, and find information quickly. This manual and the SOP portal are intended to enhance operational adaptability Army-wide. In the short term, the information in the SOP portal will help units establish or improve SOPs more rapidly. In the long term, the intention is that more and more units will build SOPs using the portal and the doctrine in this manual. Ideally, SOPs throughout the Army should increase in similarity as the combination of doctrinal guidance and Army-wide milWiki collaboration facilitates consensus. This will help units communicate and coordinate with one another more easily. Reassigned Soldiers and units will become familiar with SOPs in their new assignments more quickly. Chapter 1 of this ATP discusses resources for integrating SOP development with collaborative technology, doctrine, and policy. Chapter 2 discusses a process to help authors develop effective SOPs. Chapter 3 provides the SOP portal's URL and detailed instructions on how to use the portal. To enhance standardization of tactical SOPs, the SOP portal provides tactical SOP guidance organized according to the Army operation plan and order format. For the reader's convenience, chapter 3 of this manual shows a list of attachments and responsible staff officers as table 3-1 (pages 3-4 to 3-7). Table 3-1 serves as an approximate table of contents for the information under the portal's tactical SOP guidance tab. Because the volume and variability of material in the portal, providing a fixed listing of the portal's contents in this ATP is not practical. Unit SOP examples are organized under the portal's categories tab (described in chapter 3). The general categories used for SOP examples are nondoctrinal and variable; they will expand or change as Soldiers modify them.

Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-34.81 MCWP 3-17.4 Engineer Reconnaissance MARCH 2016 United States Government US Army provides techniques for the performance of tactical and technical engineer reconnaissance in support of military activities that are conducted across the full range of military operations. This publication supports doctrine found in ADP 3-0, FM 3-34, ADRP 5-0, and ADRP 6-0. This publication supersedes FM 3-34.170/MCWP 3-17.4. The engineer contribution to operational success is highly desired by the commander. Demands for engineer reconnaissance support will often exceed capabilities. These capabilities are spread thin, and they compete with the commander's needs for other engineer applications. The same engineer elements and capabilities are often required for each of these areas. Resolution of these competing priorities is one of the goals of the planning process. The staff-running estimate is created during mission analysis, and the engineer staff planner identifies the specified and implied engineer tasks (more than M/CM/S) and their associated purposes

This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-13.3 Army Operations Security for Division and Below July 2019, is to provide a doctrinal operations security reference for Army tactical unit commanders, operations security planners, staffs, and unit trainers at division and below. The Army operations security process is a systematic method used to identify, control, and protect essential elements of friendly information. An essential element of friendly information is a critical aspect of a friendly operation that, if known by the enemy, would subsequently compromise, lead to failure, or limit success of the operation and therefore should be protected from enemy detection. Traditional security programs protect classified information, but are not necessarily designed to protect essential elements of friendly information. Properly implemented operations security works in coordination with traditional security programs to protect essential elements of friendly information. The Army Protection Program, a management framework to synchronize, prioritize, and coordinate protection policies and resources, highlights operations security as an additional protection task that commanders and staffs must synchronize and integrate, along with other capabilities and resources, to preserve combat power. Commanders designate a member of the staff to serve as the unit's operations security planner. The operations security planner-typically a standing member of the unit's protection working group that brings together representatives of all staff elements concerned with protection- ensures that operations security is considered during the military decisionmaking process and incorporated within the unit's scheme of protection. The operations security planner analyzes unit's information activities, operational patterns and routines, signatures, and other activities that reveal unit-specific operational information and other associated observables. The operations security planner assesses whether such information or indicators could reasonably be observed by enemy or adversary forces known or suspected of conducting surveillance, reconnaissance, or intelligence collection activities directed against the unit. After identifying potentially vulnerable essential elements of friendly information, the operations security planner recommends them to the commander, along with a variety of measures to prevent their compromise. Commanders direct measures and countermeasures to reduce enemy observation and exploitation of friendly actions. These measures include concentrating forces and hiding friendly movements and rehearsals. Additionally, Army divisions and echelons below employ countermeasures such as camouflage, concealment, and decoys as an integral part of unit standard operating procedures. ATP 3-13.3 contains four chapters and one appendix. A brief description of each follows: Chapter 1 discusses the fundamentals of operations security, provides a list of operations security-related terms, and describes commander and operations security planner responsibilities. Chapter 2 describes the operations security process in detail, discusses how the process should be incorporated into operations and planning, identifies each step of the process, suggests several items to consider for operations security guidance, and provides an example of an operations security estimate. Chapter 3 examines an operations security planner's role in each step of the military decisionmaking process. Chapter 4 looks at the tools available to monitor, evaluate, and refine unit measures and countermeasures. Appendix A offers tips and recommendations for developing the operations security appendix of an operational order and provides an example of a completed operations security appendix.

This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-13.1 The Conduct of Information Operations October 2018, provides guidance on conducting information operations (IO) at tactical through strategic echelons and across operational phases. It is primarily intended for IO officers and planners or those assigned responsibilities for fulfilling IO duties. Secondarily, it is a useful primer for commanders, operations officers, intelligence officers, and other staff members who oversee, coordinate, or support IO planning, preparation, execution, and assessment. The principal audience for ATP 3-13.1 is all members of the Army Profession. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. This manual provides Army leaders and information operations (IO) professionals with essential information necessary to integrate IO effectively into their unit's operation. It guides leaders to synchronize information-related capabilities (IRCs)-such as military information support operations, cyberspace electromagnetic activities, military deception, and operations security-to achieve effects in and through the information environment that support the commander's intent and concept of operations. The techniques discussed are deemed a way to conduct IO, not the way. Army professionals tailor the processes, tools, and techniques of IO to suit the mission, situation, and requirements of their commanders. ATP 3-13.1 contains seven chapters and one appendix. The following is a brief description of each: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the conduct of information operations. It discusses methods by which staffs at company through corps and above affect the information environment to a decisive advantage but with differing levels of expertise, supporting capabilities, and authorities. The chapter reviews a range of characteristics that distinguish the conduct of IO at higher versus lower levels. Chapter 2 provides a technique for analyzing, understanding, and visualizing the information environment. Because IO largely concerns creating effects in this environment, it is essential to understand it in all its complexity. Chapter 3 discusses determining the IRCs available to a unit and methods to request other capabilities, if required. The chapter also provides a brief synopsis of the various IRCs that commanders and staffs synchronize to create effects in the information environment. Chapters 4 examines techniques for integrating and synchronizing information-related capabilities. It begins by discussing commanders' responsibilities and transitions to discussing staffs' responsibilities. It also provides samples of a range of tools and products commonly employed by commanders and staffs to ensure the right effects are generated at the right place and time. Chapter 5 discusses intelligence support to IO, which is essential to its conduct. It also provides an overview of the ways that IO is integrated into the targeting process. Chapter 6 overviews assessment, starting with its framework and then discussing its focus, types, and components. It provides techniques for developing IO objectives, measures of performance, measures of effectiveness, and indicators, as well as for presenting assessment results to the commander.
