Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-42.2, Supply Support Activity Operations, provides specific guidance on planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling supply support. It is relevant to all logistics units at all levels. It is consistent with joint and multinational doctrine. The principal audience for ATP 4-42.2 is all members of the profession of arms.

ATP 4-42.2 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. ATP 4-42.2, Supply Support Activity Operations, replaces FM 10-15, Basic Doctrine Manual for Supply and Storage. FM 10-15 was published December 1990. There has been much advancement in strategic and operational logistics processes and procedures in response to Army transformation and recent conflicts. ATP 4-42.2 contains new operational methods resulting from lessons learned and contains processes that did not exist previously. The Army's approach to logistics has changed significantly since FM 10-15 was published in 1990. The Army is in the process of replacing SARSS with a web-based enterprise resource planning system called Global Combat Support System - Army thereby making nearly all of the FM 10-15 information obsolete. FM 10-15 provided information for supply officers and leaders in petroleum, water, technical supply as well as supply support activities. Each of these functions is being addressed in separate Army techniques publications making it no longer necessary to address in ATP 4-42.2, Supply Support Activity Operations. FM 10-15 had two sections: Part 1: Supply Officers and Leaders. This section contains information for supply operations officers, supply platoon leaders, petroleum platoon leaders and technical supply officers. With few exceptions, the information presented is operator level procedures rather than management level business practices. Part 2: Supply Operations. This section contains in-depth information on filling out manual forms and data entry screens for Direct Support Unit Standard Supply System and Standard Army Retail Supply System -Interim. ATP 4-42.2 focuses on what Soldiers do rather than on the flow of digital information within the logistics automation systems. ATP 4-42.2 also focuses on aviation specific and multi-class supply support activity operations rather than specific commodity supply points. This ATP does not address management or handling of class III (bulk) or class V. Significant topics of this ATP are as follows: Chapter 1 explores the broad supply mission, supply and storage, support requirements, organizational relationships and roles/responsibilities. Chapter 2 explains the principles of establishing a supply point. Chapter 3 provides information on sustainment operations in a deployed environment. Chapter 4 offers insights for redeploying the supply support activity.

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.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 5-0.1, Army Design Methodology (ADM), is part of a continuing effort focused on improving the critical and creative thinking abilities of leaders and teams to understand and solve problems. This publication describes ADM in the context of the operations process and offers techniques for forming and leading teams for group problem solving. It describes the major activities of ADM and provides techniques for framing operational environments, framing problems, developing an operational approach, and reframing. ADM takes an interdisciplinary approach to planning and problem solving incorporating ideas associated to critical and creative thinking, leadership, decisionmaking, and organizational learning. The professional field of books and articles on these disciplines is vast and rich. Readers are encouraged to continue their study on these topics beyond the material offered in this ATP. The principal audience for this publication is Army commanders and staffs. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning joint or multinational planning. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication as a guide for instructing ADM. Recognizing and solving problems is essential. Faced with unfamiliar or ambiguous situations, commanders and staffs may feel overwhelmed by uncertainty. This is where Army design methodology (ADM) can help. By first framing an operational environment and associated problems, ADM enables commanders and staffs to think about the situation before developing ways to solve those problems. Based on this understanding, commanders and staffs are better equipped to develop approaches to overcome identified problems. ADM helps commanders and staffs with understanding, visualizing, and describing operations and it is an aid to conceptual planning. During operations, ADM supports organizational learning as the command adapts to changing circumstances. The potential benefits for using ADM include: - Enhanced dialogue between commanders, staffs, and unified action partners. - Greater understanding of an operational environment. - Deeper understanding of problems and their causes. - Shared understanding of the operation's purpose. - Shared visualization of the conduct of an operation. - Enhanced guidance to drive detailed planning. - Expanded role of the assessment process. This publication contains six chapters and two appendices.
