Book excerpt: Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-10E.7 (Formerly MCRP 3-16.1A) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Field Artillery Target Acquisition 2 May 2016 Target acquisition, by nature, is an integral part of the targeting process and requires the interaction among many groups within a given organization. Field artillery target acquisition plays a key role in the targeting process. Without accurate targeting data, indirect fire systems are of limited value. Targeting is a command responsibility that requires the participation of key members of maneuver and field artillery coordinating and special staffs. It is a critical component of the MDMP that focuses battlefield operating systems to achieve the commander's intent. As such, the targeting process focuses on mission requirements.

Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-09.12 Field Artillery Target Acquisition July 2015, contains the techniques used to employ and manage field artillery (FA) target acquisition systems. It updates and replaces information formerly contained in field manual (FM) 3-09.12 and incorporates emerging techniques on new equipment such as the AN/TPQ-50 and AN/TPQ-53 radars. It also introduces the new Army Structure of the division artillery (DIVARTY) and the field artillery brigade (FAB). The material contained in this Army techniques publication (ATP) applies to all personnel involved in the target acquisition process. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.12 is maneuver commanders and staffs, FA commanders and staffs, and target acquisition personnel. This is a complete revision to Field Manual (FM) 3-09.12, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Field Artillery Target Acquisition, which updates doctrine, techniques, and deletes obsolete information.

It provides current information on how to train and conduct operations. It describes the techniques currently being used and known to be effective. The doctrine is consistent with joint, multi-Service, or other Army doctrine. The goal of FA target acquisition is to identify and provide an accurate target location to the supported maneuver commander to allow for immediate counterfire operations against the target. This publication describes current and emerging fires target acquisition systems. Target acquisition systems include the following assets- weapon locating radars (WLR), counterfire operations, and target processing. It explains the techniques for employing radars, counterfire operations, and target processing. This publication describes techniques in non-prescriptive ways to accomplish the mission as stated in the operations order and to employ, maintain, and operate the WLR to locate the enemy indirect weapon systems.

Download or read book Tactics Techniques and Procedures for the Field Artillery Battalion written by United States Government Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field manual (FM) provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for the commander and staff in field artillery (FA) battalions. It is intended as a general "how to" manual to assist in force standardization with sufficient flexibility to adapt to local conditions as reflected in unit tactical standing operating procedures (TSOP). The publication sets forth doctrine pertaining to organization, command and control (C2), operations, and TTP for the FA battalions. It establishes responsibilities and general duties of key personnel by focusing on how an FA battalion supports the full spectrum of military operations. It keys the battalion commander and staff to areas that must receive training emphasis in order to provide effective FA support. The specifics of how to train are outlined in soldiers' manuals and Army training and evaluation program (ARTEP) mission training plans (MTPs). This manual applies to United States (US) Army and US Marine Corps (USMC) FA battalions assigned to the active, reserve, and National Guard (NG) forces. Unit organizations described in this publication reflect, in general overview, the L/A/F-series Department of the Army (DA) tables of organization and equipment (TOEs). Full consideration is given to recent and planned force structure changes and emerging technological opportunities - as of the date of publication. The publication broadly describes how the FA battalion operates to support the combined arms team using available Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (FATDS), and other automated C2 systems. This FM addresses combat operations in support of both heavy and light maneuver forces, as well as stability operations and support operations and FA (support) operations in special environments. It is not a stand-alone document; but should be used in conjunction with maneuver and other FA doctrinal manuals. The manual focuses on FA battalions performing the missions of direct support (DS) or general support (GS) to maneuver forces, as well as FA units providing reinforcing (R) or general support reinforcing (GSR) fires to other FA units in support of force operations. This publication implements all applicable North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) standardization agreements (STANAGs) (see the bibliography for a complete listing).

Download or read book Counterinsurgency Field Manual written by The U.S. Army Marine Corps and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the U.S. military invaded Iraq, it lacked a common understanding of the problems inherent in counterinsurgency campaigns. It had neither studied them, nor developed doctrine and tactics to deal with them. It is fair to say that in 2003, most Army officers knew more about the U.S. Civil War than they did about counterinsurgency. The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counterintuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction. An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine. An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism, The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come. The University of Chicago Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports the families of America’s injured servicemen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is about winning in combat. Winning requires many things: excellence in techniques, an appreciation of the enemy, exemplary leadership, battlefield judgment, and focused combat power. Yet these factors by themselves do not ensure success in battle. Many armies, both winners and losers, have possessed many or all of these attributes. When we examine closely the differences between victor and vanquished, we draw one conclusion. Success went to the armies whose leaders, senior and junior, could best focus their efforts-their skills and their resources-toward a decisive end. Their success arose not merely from excellence in techniques, procedures, and material but from their leaders' abilities to uniquely and effectively combine them. Winning in combat depends upon tactical leaders who can think creatively and act decisively.
