Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fratricide, or 'Friendly Fire', is a persistent and unwelcome feature in war. Can it be avoided? How can it be properly understood? Beginning with a historical analysis, Fratricide in Battle examines all aspects of the problem, covering both human and technical factors, before looking at a range of measures currently in use to tackle the issue. Charles Kirke brings together an international group of experts in the field, from both military and academic backgrounds, to provide a thorough examination of this crucial subject. Taken together, their contributions offer a comprehensive understanding of fratricide in its historical context and suggest important lessons for future generations.

This book was released on 2006-03-03 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations; it is complex and spans all the military environments (land, maritime and air). The NAO was asked by the chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts to review progress made in combat identification capability, and lessons learned from recent operations, following the NAO 2002 report (HC 661, session 2001-02, ISBN 0102914362) and the Committee of Public Account's (PAC) recommendations (56th report, HC 759, session 2001-02, reproduced in an appendix here). The review finds that the Ministry of Defence has made progress in developing policy and tactics, techniques and procedures, improving data collection, giving greater recognition to human factors through, for example, new training courses, and developing solutions with some new equipment fielded for Operation TELIC (Iraq). Specific recommendations for further progress are: full implementation of the PAC recommendations; develop a strategy for introducing a revised policy; continue to focus on gaining agreement between principal allies on compatible technology and tactics, techniques and procedures to improve future coalition combat identification capability; improvement in management of the collation and analysis of fratricide data.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat Identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations. Effective Combat Identification is a mans of minimising the risk of deaths and injuries from friendly fire while maintaining or improving combat effectiveness. Failures in Combat Identification can result in deaths and injuries from friendly fire (deaths from friendly fire are also known as fratricide), civilian casualties, reduced operational tempo as well as damage to civilian property and infrastructures. The Department aims to minimise the risk of fratricide without substantially slowing down operations which could increase the length of the conflict and result in more deaths from enemy fire. The Department expects that future operations will mainly be conducted in coalition with allies. This makes Combat Identification more complex as it requires interoperability of equipment and harmonisation of tactics and practices. The Committee of Public Accounts first reported on the Department's efforts to improve Combat Identification in 2002. Since then the Department has made little progress in addressing the Committee's recommendations. There is no single equipment solution to effective Combat Identification. The Department has in train a number of equipment programmes that aim to improve Combat Identification by enhancing awareness of the location of people and equipment on the battlefield. The Department has also made firm investment decisions on a number of other projects which will, in part, contribute to better Combat Identification -- the Battlefield Target Identification System -- has also suffered considerable delays while the Department tries to scope a solution which will allow us to operate effectively with out allies, notably the United States. A decision on a Battlefield Target Identification has still not been made despite assurances from the Department and the development of a successful prototype in September 2001. In April 2004, the Department appointed a Senior Responsible Owner to act as a champion for Combat Identification. He does not, however, have any budgetary or line management responsibility or other direct authority. He directs work to support improvements to Combat Identification and represents Combat Identification requirements and issues within the Department. There were six deaths during Operation TELIC caused by friendly fire. The Department's Boards of Inquiry have investigated each of these and concluded that they were caused by a mixture of technical factors, failures in communication and procedures and issues related to doctrine and training. However, there were considerable delays in the time the Department took to conclude the findings and make them publicly available. The Department has made some progress in improving its data collection of friendly fire incidents and has created a database of them. Data from friendly fire type incidents that occur during training exercises and simulations can also provide useful insights. The Department has introduced better procedures for recording incidents that occur during training although it has not yet begun to analyse this information. On the basis of a Report from the Comptroller and Auditor General, we took evidence from the Department on three main issues: progress on equipment projects to improve Combat Identification; Operation TELIC; and data collection.

This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat identification is the way military personnel distinguish friend from foe and non-combatants during operations, thereby minimising the risk of deaths and injuries from friendly fire as well as damage to property and infrastructure, whilst maintaining operational effectiveness. It is a complex issue as it spans all the military environments (land, maritime and air), particularly when operations are conducted in coalition with allies, as this requires interoperability of equipment and harmonisation of tactics and practices. Following on from an NAO report (HCP 936, session 2005-06, ISBN 9780102937169) published in March 2006, the Committee's report examines three main issues: progress on equipment projects to improve combat identification; Operation TELIC and investigations into friendly fire deaths; and data collection of friendly fire incidents. Amongst its conclusions, the report finds that the MoD has failed to develop viable combat identification solutions to counter the risks of friendly fire incidents, despite their devastating effects and despite the recommendations made by the Committee in 1992 and 2002, with significant delays in equipment programmes such as the Battlefield Target Identification System. Given the considerable delays in the time the MoD took to conclude the investigations into friendly fire incidents and to make the findings publicly available, the report recommends that once investigations into friendly fire incidents are complete, the MoD should publish the findings of Boards of Inquiry within one month.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Army meets its materiel requirements principally through purchase from private sources. However, the Army produces certain ordnance-related items and performs some ordnance-related services in a set of arsenals, ammunition plants, other ammunition activities, and depots. The Army operates some of these facilities; contractors operate others. Although this set of facilities has been reduced since the end of the Cold War, the remaining facilities still operate at less than their full capacity today. The unused and underused capacity raises questions about how many of these facilities the Army needs, how large they need to be, and who should own and operate them. This report represents the third phase of a multiyear study that examines the Army's ordnance industrial base and makes recommendations about these issues.
