Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-91, Division Operations, supports Doctrine 2015. ATP 3-91 expands on the doctrine and tactics contained in field manual (FM) 3-94. ATP 3-91 makes numerous changes from the obsolete 1996 edition of FM 71-100. The most significant change is the introduction of unified land operations as the Army's operational concept. The doctrine of unified land operations describes how the Army demonstrates its core competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide area security through three elements of decisive action-offense, defense, and stability.

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-91 Division Operations October 2014 contains eight chapters: Chapter 1 briefly reviews the division's four roles from FM 3-94. It reviews the division organization from that same FM. It reviews the organization and capabilities of those brigades and other support routinely available to the division and provides references to where detailed discussions of those organizations can be found. It discusses considerations for force tailoring the division and task organizing attached brigades. It refreshes the reader of the operational frameworks available to the division. Chapter 2 briefly reviews the Army's approach to mission command, discusses the division mission command system and then discusses the employment of the division's command posts. It also does not discuss the internal cells and elements in the division headquarters and the headquarters and headquarters battalion which are addressed in FM 3-94. It does not discuss the generic commander and staff tasks and the five additional tasks residing in the mission command warfighting function. This is because they are addressed in ADRP 6-0, FM 6-0 and other publications. It also does not discuss the division headquarters and headquarters battalion which is addressed in FM 3-94. Chapter 3 introduces a fictional scenario used in the following four chapters as a discussion vehicle for illustrating one of the many ways that a division might conduct decisive action. It is not intended to be prescriptive of how the division should conduct any particular operations. The scenario focuses on potential challenges confronting a division commander in accomplishing a mission. Chapter 4 discusses a division being tailored by higher headquarters for the scenario introduced in the previous chapter. It highlights many of the deployment challenges facing a division stationed in the continental United States (CONUS) for a short-notice contingency operation. Chapter 5 discusses different techniques that a defending Army division focused on the defeat of an attacking enemy can use. It addresses the conduct of different defense tasks in the previously introduced scenario. Chapter 6 discusses different techniques that an attacking Army division focused on the defeat of a defending enemy can use. It addresses the conduct of different offensive tasks in the previously introduced scenario. Chapter 7 discusses different techniques that an Army division focused on the conduct of stability tasks can use to accomplish its mission. It addresses all of the primary stability tasks and the techniques that a division might use to accomplish those subordinate stability tasks that a division might need to execute in the previously introduced scenario. Chapter 8 addresses special topics which are not adequately address in this publication's other chapters. These special topics are: - Division reconnaissance. - Division security. - Division mobility. - Division air support enablers. - Division counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations. - Division cyber space operations. - Division as a regionally aligned force.

Download or read book Urban Operations written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative and creative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude of combinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the proper balance between maintaining the capability to respond to current threats and preparing for future challenges.
Download or read book Deep Maneuver written by Jack D Kern Editor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.

This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2, Bringing Order to Chaos: Combined Arms Maneuver in Large Scale Combat Operations, opens a dialogue with the Army. Are we ready for the significantly increased casualties inherent to intensive combat between large formations, the constant paralyzing stress of continual contact with a peer enemy, and the difficult nature of command and control while attempting division and corps combined arms maneuver to destroy that enemy? The chapters in this volume answer these questions for combat operations while spanning military history from 1917 through 2003. These accounts tell the challenges of intense combat, the drain of heavy casualties, the difficulty of commanding and controlling huge formations in contact, the effective use of direct and indirect fires, the need for high quality leadership, thoughtful application of sound doctrine, and logistical sustainment up to the task. No large scale combat engagement, battle, or campaign of the last one hundred years has been successful without being better than the enemy in these critical capabilities. What can we learn from the past to help us make the transition to ready to fight tonight?

FM 1-20 provides basic doctrine describing the roles, relationships, organizations, and responsibilities of Army component command historians, historians, unit historical officers, and military history detachment (MHD) members in the United States Army. It describes, but does not extensively cover, historians and historical offices of units at echelons above corps and at the joint level. It is designed to provide historians, unit historical officers, commanders, and staffs the methods to preserve and document the history of the U.S. Army. It explains how the Army conducts military history operations during wartime, for both deployed forces in the combat theater and those units supporting the operation. The Army has responded to numerous contingencies or military operations other than war in recent years, and this FM provides doctrine on conducting military history operations during such contingencies. It also provides commanders doctrinal guidance on the employment of organic military history assets as well as separate military history units.

The detailed techniques regarding the ways and methods to accomplish the missions, functions or tasks of the Signal Corps indicated in this FM will be addressed in supporting Army techniques publications (ATPs). Army forces operate worldwide and require a secure and reliable communications capability that rapidly adapts to changing demands.
Download or read book The U S Army Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual written by David H. Petraeus and published by Silver Rock Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field manual establishes doctrine for military operations in a counterinsurgency (COIN) environment. It is based on lessons learned from previous counterinsurgencies and contemporary operations. It is also based on existing interim doctrine and doctrine recently developed. Counterinsurgency operations generally have been neglected in broader American military doctrine and national security policies since the end of the Vietnam War over 40 years ago. This manual is designed to reverse that trend. It is also designed to merge traditional approaches to COIN with the realities of a new international arena shaped by technological advances, globalization, and the spread of extremist ideologies--some of them claiming the authority of a religious faith. This is a comprehensive manual that details every aspect of a successful COIN operation from intelligence to leadership to diplomacy. It also includes several useful appendices that provide important supplementary material.

Download or read book Handbook for Tactical Operations in the Information Environment written by Michael Schwille and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Early-career officers in tactical units must understand and operate in an increasingly complex information environment. Poor communication with command-level decisionmakers and errors in judgment can be costly in the face of sophisticated adversary capabilities and while operating among civilian populations. There are few opportunities for formal education and training to help officers prepare for operations in the information environment (OIE), and it can be difficult to know how to employ the tactics, techniques, and procedures of tactical-level maneuver-focused operations in support of OIE-related capabilities and activities. With its quick-reference format and series of illustrative vignettes, this handbook is intended to facilitate tactical problem-solving and increase officers' awareness of when and how they can contribute to the goals of OIE."--Back cover.

Download or read book Social Media The Vital Ground written by Ian Tunnicliffe and published by Alpha Edition. This book was released on 2018-06-16 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Letort Paper seeks to answer some specific questions on how the U.S. Army, and by extension its allies, can best leverage social media, particularly on operations. Are they a viable and effective messaging conduit? Have they changed the information operations (IO) landscape? Does the United States have the correct force structure, training, equipment, and technology to leverage social media? Finally, how can we train our leaders to better understand and use social media? The impact of social media on the media environment has been widely recognized, as has the ability of extremist and adversarial organizations to exploit the media to publicize their cause, spread their propaganda, and recruit vulnerable individuals. Supporting the growth of social media has been the phenomenal global increase in mobile telephone usage, and much of this increase is in areas where there are existing conflicts or conflicts are highly likely. However, the full implications of the mobile and social media revolution are not yet fully understood. Social media will increasingly have a direct impact on virtually all aspects of military operations in the 21st century. In doing so, social media will force significant changes to policy, doctrine, force structures, and virtually all staff functions within operational units. New training requirements and new approaches to traditional operational challenges will be required. All this will require a wider understanding of social media and the realization that it is no longer an area simply of concern to public affairs officers (PAO) and possibly intelligence (INT).
