This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATP 3-34.81 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. Although primarily oriented on the brigade combat team (BCT)/regimental combat team (RCT) based Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) and below, the principal audience for ATP 3-34.81 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army and Marine Corps 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 and Marine Corps will also use this publication. The three engineer disciplines are combat (with the capabilities and activities of mobility, countermobility, and survivability [M/CM/S]), general, and geospatial engineering. These disciplines include significant reconnaissance capabilities. The three engineer disciplines include extensive discussion on integrating the planning for, and conduct of, engineer reconnaissance support within the tactical operations of the combined arms team. This publication discusses the capability resident within combat engineer units to form and employ engineer reconnaissance teams (ERTs). It also describes the capability resident within general engineer elements to form and employ ERTs, augment combat engineer ERTs, or provide assessment and survey teams. Finally, geospatial engineering enables reconnaissance and may play a large role, especially during the planning process. Engineer reconnaissance, like chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and other technical applications, is not a form of reconnaissance. Engineer reconnaissance is a focused application of special or unique capabilities supporting reconnaissance, and it is applicable to all forms of reconnaissance. The engineer disciplines provide reconnaissance capabilities that vary in linkages to warfighting functions, degrees of technical expertise, and effort applied to the assigned mission and tasks. Engineer reconnaissance is directly linked to geospatial intelligence because combat and general engineer units use technical measuring or survey devices to confirm, correct, or update the accuracy of available geospatial information. After analysis and comparison against other intelligence collections, this updated geospatial information becomes intelligence, which feeds the commander's decisionmaking process. Finally, this publication is written with the acknowledgement that the operational environment is more variable now. Engineers must be prepared to go into any operational environment and perform a full range of reconnaissance tasks in support of the maneuver commander while dealing with a wide range of threats and other influences. It builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through nearly a dozen years of sustained military operations and exercises. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security. This publication consists of five chapters and six appendixes that discuss the integration of engineer reconnaissance within the operational planning, execution, and assessment process that is presented in ADRP 5-0, ADRP 6-0, and MCWP 5-1.

This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-09.90 Division Artillery Operations and Fire Support for the Division OCTOBER 2017 Effective DIVARTY operations and fire support require leadership, knowledge, and situational understanding. Situational understanding is the product of applying analysis and judgement to relevant information to determine the relationship among the operational and mission variables to facilitate decisionmaking (ADP 5-0). DIVARTY staff members must possess an in depth understanding of the functions associated with the planning, employment, targeting, and execution techniques necessary to ensure fires are available and delivered when and where they are needed. ATP 3-09.90 builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, and numerous exercises. Fires assist Army forces in seizing, retaining and exploiting the initiative, defeating adaptive threats, and succeeding in a wide range of contingencies. Fires and external air support enhance freedom of action, movement and maneuver for ground forces. Fires are available to commanders via the following delivery formats: surface to surface, surface to air, air-to surface and electronic attack. Available weapon systems provide commanders a wide range of possible effects, generally classified as lethal and nonlethal. The ability to scale fires enables the successful engagement of high-payoff targets (HPTs) while mitigating collateral damage. The fire support planning team at all levels have the responsibility to plan for the delivery of an appropriate mix of lethal and nonlethal effects. Taking account of mission variables, enemy intentions, and available resources, commanders apply the necessary mix of force to accomplish the assigned mission. The division commander relies on information obtained from fires personnel to determine the necessary effects required to achieve the desired endstate. The DIVARTY commander oversees planning and execution of fires to support the division. Integrated fires support the division commander's scheme of maneuver. The DIVARTY, when allocated fires capabilities, provides fires in support of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. For more information related to the use of fires in support of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks see FM 3-09.
