Book excerpt: Field manual (FM) 31-20-3 is the third in a series of tactics, techniques, and procedures manuals that expand on the principles developed in the Special Forces (SF) operations manual, FM 31-20. They provide information and guidance to SF commanders, staffs, and operations personnel at battalion, company, and team levels. This manual will help them prepare for or conduct foreign internal defense (FID) operations across the range of military operations described in FM 100-5. The purpose of this manual is to serve as a general guide to its users. It does not obviate the need for well-written and practiced standing operating procedures (SOPs). Department of Defense (DOD) defines FID operations as the participation by civilian and military agencies of a government in any of the action programs taken by another government to free and protect its society from subversion, lawlessness, and insurgency-Joint Pub 1-02.

This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Reconnaissance (SR) is defined as reconnaissance and surveillance actions conducted by Special Forces (SF) to obtain or verify, by visual observation or other collection methods, information concerning the capabilities, intentions, and activities of an actual or potential enemy or to secure data concerning the meteorologic, hydrographic, geographic, or demographic characteristics of a particular area. It includes target acquisition, area assessment, and poststrike reconnaissance.Field manual (FM) 31-20-5 provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of SR missions across the operational continuum. It is a continuation of the doctrinal education process that begins with Joint Publication 3-05.5 and FMs 100-25 and 31-20. This manual provides information and guidance to SF commanders, staffs, and operational personnel at battalion and lower echelons (Special Forces operational detachments [SFODs] C, B, and A) in their conduct of SR.It is a general guide and does not eliminate the requirement for well-written, practiced, and mission-essential task list (METL)-driven standing operating procedures (SOPs). It was written under the assumption that the user understands the basic fundamentals of reconnaissance and surveillance operations. However, it expands on this basic information by providing a number of historical examples to highlight key points throughout the text as well as advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and references to support future SF operations. Users of this FM should adapt its contents to meet the situation and knowledge and skill levels of the SFOD to be employed through the mission, enemy, terrain, troops, and time available (METT-T) analysis system.The chapters provide general SR mission procedures and information. This information is ordered chronologically from receipt of the unit mission letter through postmission activities. Examples of specific SR techniques and procedures are provided in the appendices. The order of the appendices follows the order they appear in the text. This organization permits the user of this FM to review the basics of SR mission performance from beginning to end without becoming embroiled in a mass of detail with which the user may be thoroughly familiar.For those users only interested in the details of specific techniques, the appendices provide reference material keyed to the generic activities in the text.
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 TC 31 29 Special Forces Operational Techniques written by Department of the Army Headquarters and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, one of the most iconic and informative of the 31-series Special Forces publications, was written in 1988, at a time when the lessons of the Vietnam era were still fresh. Added to this was the counterterrorism focus of that period as well as a good deal of focus on countering the forces of the waning Soviet Empire. Many of the tactics, techniques and procedures found in this publication are found nowhere else. This manual is arguably one of the finest Special Forces "how-to" books ever written. The book covers topics as diverse as advanced urban warfare and counterterrorism operations to ambushing, arms and equipment caching, special reconnaissance, advanced land navigation, combat immediate action drills and more. From the preface page: "This manual provides information and guidance on Special Forces tactics and techniques. It provides guidance for commanders, staff officers, and personnel responsible for SF training and operations. It describes operational techniques used by SF organizations in the conduct of their missions in support of the AirLand battle. It also considers tactics that potential adversaries can employ against deployed SF units and methods these units can use to counter those adversaries. Since SF Soldiers must be thoroughly knowledgeable and proficient in conventional tactics and techniques, a large portion of this manual discusses or refers to conventional organizations, formations, and tactics. SF use these tactics and techniques as a basis for instructing, advising, and assisting indigenous personnel in foreign internal defense, unconventional warfare, direct action or SF reconnaissance operations. They also use them as a basis for developing detachment standing operating procedures and working documents." Presented in Special Operations Press' distinctive woodland camouflage cover denoting an '80s or '90s-era publication, this manual is printed in easy-to-read 6 x 9, perfect-bound paperback format. Proudly printed in the USA.
Download or read book Recondo Recon Team Manual written by Us Army Institute for Military Assistance and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide a compendium of techniques and procedures used by reconnaissance teams (RTs). The success of any recon operation depends on the ability of the unit to develop its own procedures and to adapt and exploit those which prove successful. Ultimately, success depends on the motivation and training of the RT. This manual will provide an introduction to the required training and a basis for continuation of training. While no technique represents the final answer, those described here have been proven successful in several years of Recondo-style operations. To the beginner, this manual will serve as a summary of the techniques he must master; to the "old timer," it will be a refresher and review. There is only one type of recon man that has stopped learning recon - the dead type. This manual is directed only towards RT employment. Therefore, always keep in mind that the tactics and techniques described are directed towards one goal - the collection of intelligence. The patrolling tactics, insertion techniques, communications, etc. are only a means to accomplish that end. Developed for use at Recondo (Recon Commando) schools by the US Army Institute for Military Assistance in 1970 as a means to capture the operational knowledge of Studies and Observation Group Recon Teams from Command & Control North, Central and South. It contains information very difficult to find elsewhere, much of it presented in the form of "lessons learned" from operations in Vietnam. Presented in Special Operations Press' distinctive ERDL camouflage cover, denoting a Vietnam-era publication, this edition is an easy-to-read 6 x 9 inch perfect-bound paperback printed on first quality paper in the USA.

Download or read book Guerrilla Warfare Tactics In Urban Environments written by Major Patrick D. Marques and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current Special Forces doctrine is very limited concerning the conduct of guerrilla warfare combat operations in urban environments. The focus of the current doctrine is on conducting combat operations in rural environments. The material available on urban environments is defined in broad terms primarily focused on the larger picture of unconventional warfare. Some considerations and characteristics of urban tactical operations are addressed but are so general they could be applied to a conventional infantry unit as easily as to a guerrilla force. Traditionally, Special Forces guerrilla warfare doctrine has focused on its conduct in a rural environment as historically, most guerrilla movements have formed, operated, and been supported outside of the cities. Increasing world urbanization is driving the "center of gravity" of the resistance, the populace and their will to resist, into urban settings. As populations have gravitated to the cities on every continent, the ability to prosecute a successful guerrilla war has often depended on the ability to conduct combat operations in these environments. Predominantly, the aspects of unconventional warfare that were executed in urban settings were those such as intelligence activities, recruiting, sabotage, or subversion. Guerrilla warfare combat operations were done in urban environments only when absolutely necessary.
