Book Handbook for Military Support to Essential Services and Critical Infrastructure

Download or read book Handbook for Military Support to Essential Services and Critical Infrastructure written by U. S. Joint Command and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook for Military Support to Essential Services and Critical Infrastructure provides fundamental guidance, planning considerations, techniques, and procedures for the development of essential services and critical infrastructure (ES&CI) during Phase 0, "Shaping" operations or restoration of ES&CI in the wake of a natural disaster or combat during joint operation phases IV, "Stabilize," and V, "Enable Civil Authority." This handbook is not intended to stand alone as a planning guide, but instead to complement the planning that would be required to better integrate all elements of national capacity in response to an overseas contingency or in support of military engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence activities. Its primary purpose is to provide guidance for joint force commanders and military planners during the post-conflict period, since the military likely will continue to contribute to ES&CI restoration throughout the post-conflict period. It is designed to help lay the groundwork for a successful transition between military and civilian authorities in situations where the armed forces for whatever reason find themselves as the de facto governing authority responsible for providing essential governmental services for a civilian population. It is titled to emphasize that although infrastructure projects provide visible evidence of progress and represent a straightforward engineering problem, their larger purpose is to support delivery of some particular governmental or community-wide service. In conventional war one objective is to destroy the infrastructure that the adversary uses to support its combat effort. In today's conflicts, a principal objective is to win the confidence of the population and convert the adversary to become a partner who contributes to stability. The preservation and development of the critical infrastructure to function effectively and serve the needs of the population is an important component in winning the confidence and support of the population. Thus, judgment on how to limit the destruction of infrastructure is important to support rapid post-conflict recovery. Once large-scale combat concludes, recent experience (e.g., Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM) has demonstrated that the same military units conducting the combat will likely remain to initiate post-conflict restoration of ES&CI. It is in the initial portion of the post-conflict period, with uncertain security conditions for civilians, that the military may bear significant responsibility for ES&CI restoration. This handbook defines the services (water, sanitation, transportation, medical, etc.) needed to sustain civilian populations, the infrastructure needed to deliver such services, why delivery of such services is critical, and the appropriate roles military forces can play to enable service delivery. It describes the nature of the situations that will be faced and provides both general guidance on addressing recovery problems and contact references to obtain specialized assistance. It covers both steady-state Phase 0 and post-conflict Phases IV and V ES&CI-related operations. It stresses that civilians are generally the supported entity for ES&CI-related operations, and urges that where security conditions inhibit civilian deployment they be invited to embed with military units to the extent possible.

Book Executive Summary of the Unified Action Handbook Series  a Guide to Strengthened Civil Military Cooperation in the Combatant Command s Area of Responsibility  J7 J9 Pamphlet

Download or read book Executive Summary of the Unified Action Handbook Series a Guide to Strengthened Civil Military Cooperation in the Combatant Command s Area of Responsibility J7 J9 Pamphlet written by U. S. Joint Command and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JP 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary for Military and Associated Terms, defines Unified Action (UA) as the synchronization, coordination, and/or integration of the activities of governmental and nongovernmental entities with military operations to achieve unity of effort. To this end United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) embarked on a multi-year project to carry forward the principles of UA through concept development and experimentation. The project, called Unified Action, intersected with and supported the development of this overview pamphlet and a series of five other handbooks (listed on page iv). This was completed through the concept development and experimentation capabilities residing within USJFCOM as a part of a command initiative, directed from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, to build partnership capacity and assist with the implementation of National Security Presidential Directive 44 (NSPD-44). The UA project focused on two lines of operations (LOO) to achieve its objectives. The first line included limited objective experiments contributing to the implementation of the DOD work plan to support NSPD-44. Products of this included the military component to revisions of the United States Government (USG) Draft Planning Framework, the Implementation Planning Annex, and the Interagency Management System (IMS) Operations Guide. The second line of operation included spiral events to produce the series of handbooks and overview. The products of both LOO were developed and validated through a rigorous process of experimentation that was conducted with military and civilian partners across the USG. The authors of the IMS Handbook as well as of the functional handbooks developed them in close coordination with, and significant input from both civilian and military experts in the respective fields that the handbooks cover. The authors also regularly vetted the content with these experts to assure currency and accuracy of both theory and practice. As a result, both the IMS Handbooks as well as the functional handbooks represent the current state of best practices in the both functional areas for reconstruction and stabilization operations, and the conduct of the IMS. In conventional warfare one objective is to destroy the infrastructure that the adversary uses to support its combat effort. In today's conflict a principal objective is to win the confidence of the population and convert the adversary to become a partner to contribute to stability. The preservation and development of the critical infrastructure to function effectively to serve the needs of its population is an important component in winning the confidence and support of the population. Thus the judgment on how to limit the destruction of infrastructure is important to support rapid post-conflict recovery. Once the combat mission is achieved, recent experience (Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF)/Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF)) has demonstrated that the same military units conducting the combat will likely remain to initiate the post-conflict reconstruction program. It is this initial post-conflict period with less than permissive security conditions for civilians that the military may bear significant responsibility for reconstruction efforts. The purpose of these handbooks is to provide guidance for military planners during the reconstruction period. The military will also continue to contribute to reconstruction of critical infrastructure and support the provision of essential services to the population throughout the stability operations period.

Book Handbook for Self Assessing Security Vulnerabilities and Risk of Industrial Control Systems on Dod Installations

Download or read book Handbook for Self Assessing Security Vulnerabilities and Risk of Industrial Control Systems on Dod Installations written by Office of Military Commissions Office of the Secretary of Defense and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is intended for use primarily by Department of Defense (DOD) installation commanders, supported by staff members, as a management tool to self-assess,1 prioritize, and manage mission-related vulnerabilities and risks that may be exposed or created by connectivity to ICS. ICS include a variety of systems or mechanisms used to monitor and/or operate critical infrastructure elements, such as electricity, water, natural gas, fuels, entry and access (doors, buildings, gates), heating & air-conditioning, runway lighting, etc. Other terms often heard include SCADA, DCS, or EMCS.2 Throughout this book the term "ICS" is used as encompassing such variations. This book is intentionally generic. Whatever the category of ICS, the approach to vulnerability assessment and risk management is similar. The applicability of actions recommended here may be extended to any DOD military installation regardless of the specific categories of ICS encountered. In keeping with the generic approach and due primarily to the unique nature of each installation's infrastructure, beyond a couple of exceptions there are no checklists, standard operating procedures (SOP), or similar sets of lock-step actions provided here. However, a risk management team using the handbook likely will want to develop checklists tailored to their specific circumstances. Among other purposes, this handbook is intended to increase awareness of how a threat related to the ICS itself translates into a threat to the mission, either directly through the ICS or circuitously via network connections. Every military installation has numerous mission-support processes and systems controlled by, or that otherwise depend on, ICS. Every connection or access point represents potential vulnerabilities and, therefore, risks to the system under control (i.e., electrical, water, emergency services, etc.), which can escalate quickly to adverse impact on mission essential functions (MEF) and mission accomplishment. Fundamentally then, this handbook is provided to help the installation leadership conduct a risk self-assessment focused on ICS and supported missions and then implement plans to manage that risk. Most of the information contained herein is not unique to this publication. Two unique aspects are: (1) the aggregation of disparate information into one place, distilling essentials, and tailoring to DOD installation leadership; and (2) bringing cyber/information technology (IT), civil engineers, public works, and mission operators together with a singular focus on ICS security in support of missions. This handbook (via Appendices) also points to additional resources.

Book Preparing the Army for Stability Operations

Download or read book Preparing the Army for Stability Operations written by Thomas S. Szayna and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004-2006, the U.S. government acted to revise the way that the planning and implementation of Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) operations are conducted. The primary emphasis of the changes was on ensuring a common U.S. strategy rather than a collection of individual departmental and agency efforts and on mobilizing and involving all available U.S. government assets in the effort. The proximate reason for the policy shift stems from the exposing of gaps in the U.S. ability to administer Afghanistan and Iraq after the U.S.-led ousters of the Taliban and Ba'athist regimes. But the effort to create U.S. government capabilities to conduct SSTR operations in a more unified and coherent fashion rests on the deeper conviction that, as part of the U.S. strategy to deal with transnational terrorist groups, the United States must have the capabilities to increase the governance capacities of weak states, reduce the drivers of and catalysts to conflict, and assist in peacebuilding at all stages of pre- or post-conflict transformation. According to the Joint Operating Concept for Military Support to SSTR operations, these operations are civilian-led and conducted and coordinated with the involvement of all the available resources of the U.S. government (military and civilian), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners. Although military assets are an essential component of many SSTR operations, specific military goals and objectives are only a portion of the larger SSTR operation.

Book Protection of Civilians Military Reference Guide

Download or read book Protection of Civilians Military Reference Guide written by Dwight Raymond and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Protection of Civilians (PoC) refers to efforts that protect civilians from physical violence, secure their rights to access essential services and resources, and contribute to a secure, stable, and just environment for civilians over the long-term. PoC is a moral, political, legal, and strategic priority for all military operations. Communities on the ground and around the world expect uniformed personnel to protect the population; failure to do so jeopardizes the credibility and legitimacy of the operation and can undermine other objectives. This guide is primarily intended as a resource for military commanders and staffs who must consider PoC while conducting operations. Other interested readers may include international organizations, national militaries, training centers, and civilian and police officials who are also concerned with PoC.

Book Unified Action Partners  Quick Reference Guide

Download or read book Unified Action Partners Quick Reference Guide written by United States Army and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quick reference guide describes U.S. Army organizations, planning, and operations. Unified action partners (UAPs) are those military forces, of the private sector with whom U.S. Army forces plan, coordinate, synchronize, and integrate during the conduct of operations (Army Doctrine Reference Publication 3-0, Unified Land Operations).UAPs include joint forces (activities in which elements of two or more U.S. military departments participate), multinational forces, and U.S Government (USG) agencies and departments. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars highlight the necessity for collaboration, cooperation, and synchronization among USG, NGOs, and private sector agencies to focus the elements of national power in achieving national strategic objectives. Our experience in these conflicts accentuates the importance of foreign governments, agencies, and militaries participating, in concert with the United States, to achieve common objectives. Meeting the challenges of complex environments, infused with fragile or failing nation states, non-state actors, pandemics, natural disasters, and limited resources, requires the concerted effort of all instruments of U.S. national power plus foreign governmental agencies, military forces, and civilian organizations.

Book Stability Economics   the Economic Foundations of Security in Post Conflict Environments

Download or read book Stability Economics the Economic Foundations of Security in Post Conflict Environments written by Nathan Toronto and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years after invading Iraq and Afghanistan, the US military realized that it had a problem: How does a military force set the economic conditions for security success? This problem was certainly not novel--the military had confronted it before in such diverse locations as Grenada, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. The scale and complexity of the problem, however, were unlike anything military planners had confronted beforehand. This was especially the case in Iraq, where some commentators expected oil production to drive reconstruction.
