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 Mission Command in the Division and Corps Support Area Handbook Lessons and Best Practices written by U. S. Army and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During warfighter exercises, it had become apparent that division and corps commanders were challenged with mission command of forces in their support areas. The commander of United States Army Forces Command directed commanders to establish a support area command post (SACP) to improve mission command. The Army's new Field Manual (FM) 3-0, Operations (06 OCT 2017), incorporates this guidance by modifying the geographical organization of an area of operations. FM 3-0 scales down the size of the support area and adds a consolidation area. The consolidation area will be assigned to a maneuver brigade or division. This enables the maneuver enhancement brigade (MEB) to perform its traditional mission and focus efforts on operations in the support area. FM 3-0 formalizes the requirement for divisions and corps to establish a SACP (its doctrinal name, which is used throughout this handbook) to assist in controlling operations in the support and consolidation areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

To comprehend the doctrine contained in this publication, readers must first understand the principles of the Army profession and the Army ethic as described in ADP 1, The Army. Readers also must understand the principles of war, the nature of unified land operations, and the links between the operational and tactical levels of war described in JP 3-0, Joint Operations; ADP 3-0, and ADRP 3-0, Unified Land Operations; FM 3-94, Theater Army, Corps, and Division Operations, and ATP 3-91, Division Operations. In addition, readers should understand the fundamentals of the operations process found in ADP 5-0 and ADRP 5-0, The Operations Process, associated with offensive and defensive tasks contained in FM 3-90-1, Offense and Defense Volume 1, and reconnaissance, security, and tactical enabling tasks contained in FM 3-90-2, Reconnaissance Security and Tactical Enabling Tasks, Volume 2. The reader must comprehend how stability tasks described in ADP 3-07 and ADRP 3-07, Stability, carry over and affect offensive and defensive tasks and vice versa. Readers must understand how the operation process fundamentally relates to the Army's design methodology, military decisionmaking process, and troop-leading procedures and the principles of mission command as described in ADP 6-0 and ADRP 6-0, Mission Command, and FM 6-0, Command and Staff Organization and Operations. The principal audience for FM 3-96 is the commanders, staffs, officers, and noncommissioned officers of the brigade, battalions, and squadron within the BCT. The audience also includes the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command institutions and components, and the United States Army Special Operations Command. This publication serves as an authoritative reference for personnel developing doctrine, materiel and force structure, institutional and unit training, and standard operating procedures for the BCT.
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.

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?

Book excerpt: This Leavenworth Paper is a critical reconstruction of World War II Ranger operations conducted at or near Djebel el Ank, Tunisia; Porto Empedocle, Sicily; Cisterna, Italy; Zerf, Germany; and Cabanatuan in the Philippines. It is not intended to be a comprehensive account of World War II Ranger operations, for such a study would have to include numerous minor actions that are too poorly documented to be studied to advantage. It is, however, representative for it examines several types of operations conducted against the troops of three enemy nations in a variety of physical and tactical environments. As such, it draws a wide range of lessons useful to combat leaders who may have to conduct such operations or be on guard against them in the future. Many factors determined the outcomes of the operations featured in this Leavenworth Paper, and of these there are four that are important enough to merit special emphasis. These are surprise, the quality of opposing forces, the success of friendly forces with which the Rangers were cooperating, and popular support.
