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.

Download or read book A Unified Theory of Collective Action and Social Change written by Luis Medina and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-18 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion that groups form and act in ways that respond to objective, external costs and benefits has long been the key to accounting for social change processes driven by collective action. Yet this same notion seems to fall apart when we try to explain how collectivities emerge out of the choices of individuals. This book overcomes that dilemma by offering an analysis of collective action that, while rooted in individual decision making, also brings out the way in which objective costs and benefits can impede or foster social coordination. The resulting approach enables us to address the causes and consequences of collective action with the help of the tools of modern economic theory. To illustrate this, the book applies the tools it develops to the study of specific collective action problems such as clientelism, focusing on its connections with economic development and political redistribution; and wage bargaining, showing its economic determinants and its relevance for the political economy of the welfare state. "Medina's study is a great step forward in the analytics of collective action. He shows the inadequacies of currently standard models and shows that straightforward revisions reconcile rational-choice and structural viewpoints. It will influence all future work." -Kenneth Arrow, Stanford University "Olson, Schelling, and now Medina. A Unified Theory deepens our understanding of collective action and contributes to the foundations of our field. A major work." -Robert H. Bates, Harvard University "Medina thinks that the main problem of social action is not whether or not to cooperate but how to do it. To this end he has produced an imaginative approach to analyzing strategic coordination problems that produces plausible predictions in a range of circumstances." -John Ferejohn, Stanford University Luis Fernando Medina is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia.

Download or read book Unified Action A Bridge Too Far written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate on how to establish unity-of-action for a given military operation has been growing in importance over the last forty years. This debate becomes even more poignant in today's world where operational commanders have an increased responsibility outside of normal war fighting functions. Political ramifications from working with interagency and international partners have changed the traditional military command and control dynamic and forced introspection on the joint principles driving United States military operations. The establishment of an operational command structure based solely on the principle of unity-of-command falls short of guaranteeing unity-of-effort. The joint force commander must understand the other organizations working in the area of operations and successfully coordinate and synchronize actions. Operational commanders must clearly align the operational command structure with the objectives to preclude mutual interference, establish coordination bodies and a network of liaisons to synchronize the effects of different entities, and educate all partners on organizational capabilities and limitations, to ensure the United States Government achieves unified action in complex interagency and international operations.

This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADP 3-0 Operations In 2011 the Army updated its warfighting doctrine to conduct unified land operations executed through decisive action and guided by mission command. ADP 3-0, Operations, is a natural evolution of past capstone doctrine that captured the most critical lessons of almost fifteen years of sustained land combat. In this edition, we not only reflect on the past but also look to the future. This publication builds on the idea that success requires fully integrating Army operations with the efforts of unified action partners. ADP 3-0 provides a common operational concept for Army forces who must be ready to operate across the range of military operations and across multiple domains, integrating their actions with unified action partners as part of a larger effort. Today, Army forces are engaged with more than 140,000 Soldiers in over 150 countries, either conducting combat operations, deterring aggression, or reassuring our allies and partners. The United States Army is also relentlessly hunting terrorists throughout many other parts of the world. We are engaging our partners in Africa and throughout the Americas. Readiness for current and future operations requires a force that is honed through effective training and education and well versed on how our Army conducts operations. The central idea of operations is that, as part of a joint force, Army forces seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win our Nation's wars as part of unified action. ADP 3-0 discusses the principles of unified land operations-mission command, develop the situation through action, combined arms, adhere to the law of war, establish and maintain security, and create multiple dilemmas for the enemy. ADP 3-0 incorporates the tenets of unified land operations-simultaneity, depth, synchronization, and flexibility. It highlights the concept that operational art is the connection between strategic objectives and tactical actions, and it supports a common construct for organizing both joint and Army operations. The construct consists of the Army operations process, an operations framework for visualizing and describing operations, and combat power. ADP 3-0 serves as the common operational concept for the Army. The central idea, adapted to the unique conditions of each conflict, represents the Army's unique contribution to unified action. It must permeate our doctrine, our training, and our leader professional development programs.

Download or read book Unified Land Operations ADRP 3 0 written by Department of the Army and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 3-0, Unified Land Operations, is the first ADRP released under Doctrine 2015. ADRP 3-0 expands on the foundations and tenets found in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-0. This ADRP expands on the doctrine of unified land operations found in ADP 3-0. The publication of ADP 3-0 shifted the Army's operational concept from full spectrum operations to unified land operations. The doctrine of unified land operations describes how the Army demonstrates its core competencies of combined arm maneuver and wide area security through decisive action. The term decisive action replaces the term full spectrum operations as the concept of continuous, simultaneous offense, defense, stability, or defense support of civil authorities. Defense support of civil authorities replaces civil support as a task under decisive action. ADRP 3-0 expands the discussion of the foundations and tenets of unified land operations, as well as the operational framework found in ADP 3-0. Additional changes in ADRP 3-0 from the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, includes a discussion of the range of military operations replacing the spectrum of conflict as well as a discussion of information collection replacing intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (known as ISR). These changes in ADRP 3-0 now better align Army doctrine with the joint discussion of the principles of joint operations. ADRP 3-0 remains generally consistent with the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts as necessary. These topics include the discussion of an operational environment and the operational and mission variables, as well as the discussions of unified action, law of land warfare, and combat power. As in the now obsolete 2011, FM 3-0, Change 1, mission command remains both a philosophy of command and a warfighting function. Finally, ADRP 3-0 maintains combined arms as the application of arms that multiplies Army forces' effectiveness in all operations. ADRP 3-0 contains four chapters: Chapter 1 shortens the discussion of the operational environment found on the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, and emphasizes military operations. This chapter provides a framework of variables of an operational environment that shape their nature and affect outcomes. The chapter then discusses unified action and joint operations as well as land operations. Finally, this chapter discusses law of land warfare and combined arms. Chapter 2 introduces the Army's new operational concept of unified land operations. It discusses how commanders apply landpower as part of unified action to defeat the enemy on land and establish conditions that achieve the joint force commander's end state. Chapter 2 discusses how commanders demonstrate the Army's new core competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide area security conducted through decisive action. Chapter 3 discusses combat power and the warfighting functions used to generate combat power in support of unified land operations. As in the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, chapter 3 discusses the eight elements of combat power that include the six warfighting functions with leadership and information. Lastly, it discusses how Army forces achieve combined arms through force tailoring, task organization, and mutual support. Chapter 4 discusses the elements of operational art and the meaning of operational art to Army forces. It elaborates on commanders and staffs applying the elements of operational art to understand, visualize, and describe how to establish conditions to achieve a desired end state. It discusses how operational art represents a creative approach to dealing with the direction of military forces and expresses an informed vision across the levels of war.

Book excerpt: Unified Action Civil-Military cooperation has long been recognized as essential to success in COIN, but execution on the ground has often been uneven and difficult. While agency cultures and doctrinal differences are always present, truly integrated civil military operations are clearly the way ahead. During its Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) rotation, Combined Joint Task Force-82 (CJTF-82), located in ISAF's Regional Command (East), broke new ground with "Unified Action" - the first ever attempt to fuse military and civilian organizations into one operational headquarters at an ISAF Regional Command.

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.
