Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides a conceptualization of how the Army will move and maneuver its forces to deter conflict, prevail in war, and succeed in a wide range of contingencies in the future operational environment. It carries forward three new conceptual terms: combined arms maneuver, wide area security, and the co-creation of context. In addition, it expands on the idea of mission command as a prerequisite of decentralized operations. This concept also highlights the Army's approach to conducting operations in both contiguous and noncontiguous areas of operations using a variety of brigade-level combat formations as the centerpiece of the Army's tactical forces.

Book excerpt: The Army is the Nation's principal military force organized, trained, and equipped for prompt and sustained operations on land. As one of the critical elements in our national defense strategy, the Army must continually adapt to changing conditions and evolving threats to our security. An essential part of that adaptation is the development of new ideas to address future challenges. TRADOC Pam 525-3-1, The Army Operating Concept, describes how future Army forces conduct operations as part of the joint force to deter conflict, prevail in war, and succeed in a wide range of contingencies in the future operational environment. It describes the employment of Army forces in the 2016-2028 time frame with emphasis on the operational and tactical levels of war. In addition to describing broadly how Army headquarters organize and direct the employment of their forces, the concept describes the major categories of Army operations and identifies the capabilities required of Army forces to guide and prioritize future force development. The ideas discussed in this document will guide revisions in Army doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities. These ideas will also enhance the integration of Army forces with a wide array of domestic and international partners. The challenges of future armed conflict make it imperative for the Army to produce leaders and forces that exhibit a high degree of operational adaptability. Achieving the necessary level of operational adaptability requires the Army to build upon a foundation of two broad responsibilities within the framework of full-spectrum operations.

Book excerpt: TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-6, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver AFC-MM Feb 2017 The U.S. Army is the Nation's principal land force organized, trained, and equipped for prompt and sustained combat on land. Today's adversaries have studied how the U.S. Joint Force prefers to operate and adapted to develop capabilities that contest our operations on land, at sea, in the air, in space and cyberspace, as well as the electromagnetic spectrum, information environment, and human perception. Defeating future enemies that possess advanced capabilities calls for land forces operating as integrated joint teams that conduct simultaneous and sequential operations across multiple domains. Future Army forces will be prepared to fight and win across all contested spaces to create temporary windows of superiority across multiple domains that enable Joint Force freedom of action to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to defeat enemies. This requires flexible and resilient ground formations that project combat power from land into other domains to enable Joint Force freedom of action, while seizing positions of relative advantage and controlling key terrain to consolidate gains. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-6, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver (AFC-MM), expands on the ideas presented in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World (AOC). It describes how Army maneuver forces generate overmatch across all domains, the electromagnetic spectrum, information environment, and human perception. The concept also describes how Army forces project power across strategic distances and then transition rapidly to cross-domain maneuver, and how maneuver formations at echelons above brigade contribute to shaping operations and the close fight.

Book excerpt: TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-5, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Maneuver Support (AFC-MS) Feb 2017 TRADOC Pamphlet (TP) 525-3-5, the U.S. Army Functional Concept for Maneuver Support (AFC-MS) defines maneuver support forces, describes the future environment and threat, and discusses how maneuver support capabilities support joint combined arms operations across Army doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities activities The AFC-MS captures tasks and systems (formerly found under the protection warfighting function and protection functional concept) in the concept and in the maneuver support warfighting function. This concept focuses on capabilities that support the Army's core competency of maneuver and includes all maneuver support capabilities. Maneuver support is defined as the related tasks and systems to understand and shape the environment, mitigate the effects of obstacles and hazards, and protect the force, populations, resources, and activities to enable joint combined arms operations. Maneuver support forces are elements that execute maneuver support functions defined in this concept across the range of military operations. Maneuver support forces, as defined in this concept, provide supported commanders with options, integrate efforts with multiple partners, operate across multiple domains, and present enemies and adversaries with multiple dilemmas. Maneuver support forces are agile, expert, and versatile and provide the right mix of capabilities with technical capabilities and information to enable commanders with freedom of action and contribute to mission success in any operation.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Army is the Nation's principal land force organized, trained, and equipped for prompt and sustained combat on land. Today's adversaries have studied how the U.S. Joint Force prefers to operate and adapted to develop capabilities that contest our operations on land, at sea, in the air, in space and cyberspace, as well as the electromagnetic spectrum. Enemies and adversaries operate beyond the physical battleground on battlegrounds of information, perception, political subversion, and criminality. Defeating future enemies that possess advanced capabilities calls for land forces operating as part of integrated joint teams that conduct simultaneous and sequential operations across multiple domains and on multiple battlegrounds and contested spaces. Army forces must be prepared to operate consistent with the concept of multi -domain battle, fighting and winning across all contested spaces creating temporary windows of superiority across multiple domains.TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-5, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Maneuver Support (AFC-MS), describes maneuver support required capabilities to conduct joint combined arms operations and multi-domain battle as described in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, The US. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World and the Multi-Domain Battle: Combined Arms for the 21st Century white paper. Complementary and reinforcing maneuver support forces shape terrain, enable expeditionary maneuver, establish base camps, mitigate obstacles and hazards, and protect the force, populations, and resources. Maneuver support forces include engineering, military police, explosive ordnance disposal, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear units. Maneuver support capabilities, however, are not limited to specific branches and include a broad range of capabilities necessary to fight, preserve freedom of action, consolidate gains, and win in armed conflict.The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is one of the most dangerous trends that effect future conflict. Weapons of mass destruction capabilities and technologies will increase risk to missions, forces, and civilian populations at home and abroad. Army forces must minimize vulnerabilities associated with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosive hazards, and mitigate adversary capabilities to deploy or employ these weapons against the U.S. and mission partners during joint combined arms operations. Maneuver support forces provide the expertise and capabilities necessary to protect the force and accomplish the mission.
Download or read book Making the Soldier Decisive on Future Battlefields written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military does not believe its soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines should be engaged in combat with adversaries on a "level playing field." Our combat individuals enter engagements to win. To that end, the United States has used its technical prowess and industrial capability to develop decisive weapons that overmatch those of potential enemies. In its current engagement-what has been identified as an "era of persistent conflict"- the nation's most important weapon is the dismounted soldier operating in small units. Today's soldier must be prepared to contend with both regular and irregular adversaries. Results in Iraq and Afghanistan show that, while the U.S. soldier is a formidable fighter, the contemporary suite of equipment and support does not afford the same high degree of overmatch capability exhibited by large weapons platforms-yet it is the soldier who ultimately will play the decisive role in restoring stability. Making the Soldier Decisive on Future Battlefields establishes the technical requirements for overmatch capability for dismounted soldiers operating individually or in small units. It prescribes technological and organizational capabilities needed to make the dismounted soldier a decisive weapon in a changing, uncertain, and complex future environment and provides the Army with 15 recommendations on how to focus its efforts to enable the soldier and tactical small unit (TSU) to achieve overmatch.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 8 of the Army University Large Scale Combat Operations series. The Competitive Advantage: Special Operations Forces in Large Scale Combat Operations presents twelve historical case studies of special operations forces from World War I through Operation Iraqi Freedom. This volume sheds light upon the emerging roles, missions, and unique capabilities that have forged a path for Army Special Operations Forces today. These case studies set Large Scale Combat Operations in the center and place ARSOF's role in the forefront. If a reader were to take one piece from this volume, it would be the clear understanding of the close synergy that occurs between the Conventional Force and SOF in Large Scale Combat Operations for major wars in the 20th and early 21st century. That synergy should provide a broad azimuth for military planners and practitioners to follow as the Army, SOF, and the Joint Force combine to preserve the peace, defend the Nation, and defeat any adversary.
Download or read book Redefining Information Warfare Boundaries for an Army in a Wireless World written by Isaac Porche and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the U.S. Army as elsewhere, transmission of digitized packets on Internet-protocol and space-based networks is rapidly supplanting the use of old technology (e.g., dedicated analog channels) when it comes to information sharing and media broadcasting. As the Army moves forward with these changes, it will be important to identify the implications and potential boundaries of cyberspace operations. An examination of network operations, information operations, and the more focused areas of electronic warfare, signals intelligence, electromagnetic spectrum operations, public affairs, and psychological operations in the U.S. military found significant overlap that could inform the development of future Army doctrine in these areas. In clarifying the prevailing boundaries between these areas of interest, it is possible to predict the progression of these boundaries in the near future. The investigation also entailed developing new definitions that better capture this overlap for such concepts as information warfare. This is important because the Army is now studying ways to apply its cyber power and is reconsidering doctrinally defined areas that are integral to operations in cyberspace. It will also be critical for the Army to approach information operations with a plan to organize and, if possible, consolidate its operations in two realms: the psychological, which is focused on message content and people, and the technological, which is focused on content delivery and machines."--Page 4 of cover.
