Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ATTP 5-0.1 Commander and Staff Officer Guide September 2011 by United States Government US Army Pdf

This Army tactics, techniques, and procedures (ATTP) reinforces the fundamentals of mission command established in field manual (FM) 3-0, Operations; FM 5-0, The Operations Process; and FM 6-0, Mission Command. Whereas the above manuals focus on the fundamentals of mission command, this manual provides commanders and staff officers with tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) essential for the exercise of mission command.This is a new Army publication. It includes many of the appendices currently found in FM 5-0 and FM 6-0 that addressed the "how to" of mission command. By consolidating this material into a single publication, Army leaders now have a single reference to assist them with TTP associated with planning, preparing for, executing, and continually assessing operations. This ATTP also enables the Army to better focus the material in future editions of FMs 5-0 and 6-0 on the fundamentals of the operations process and mission command, respectively.

Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ATTP 3-11. 36 MULTI-SERVICE TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, and PROCEDURES for CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, and NUCLEAR ASPECTS of COMMAND and CONTROL by United States Government Army Pdf

This multi-Service publication represents a significant revision of the November 1986 publication. The scope of the previous publication was limited to the effect that weather and terrain have on nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) operations and obscuration operations. This publication expands that scope to include the doctrinal employment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) capabilities (organizations, personnel, technology, and information) to characterize CBRN threats and hazards, including toxic industrial material (TIM), to the commander and the force. It is designed to provide commanders and staffs at the operational and tactical levels with capability employment planning data and considerations to shape military operations involving CBRN threats and hazards (CBRN shape) and a better understanding of where and when to expect CBRN hazards by applying information management (IM) to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP)/Marine Corps planning process (MCPP). This publication incorporates the characteristics of CBRN shape as addressed in joint concepts and in doctrine; and it provides doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for managing CBRN threats and hazards in the larger context of multi-Service military operations. The chapters present a doctrinal foundation, and specific TTP are included in appendixes. This manual also incorporates the joint doctrine elements for combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to include the passive defense capabilities of CBRN shape, CBRN sense, CBRN shield, and CBRN sustain. During military operations, this publication is subordinate to current joint publications (JPs) addressing this topic. This document incorporates the following key guidance—• National strategy to combat WMD.• National military strategy to combat WMD.• Department of Defense (DOD) protection joint functional concept.• Joint enabling concept for CBRN defense.• JP 3-40.The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, key agencies, and Service members with a key reference for understanding, characterizing, and managing CBRN threats and hazards in a particular operational environment (OE). This manual bridges the gap between Service and joint doctrine. It contains TTP for commanders and staff to use for characterizing and managing CBRN threats and hazards while conducting multi-Service military operations. This manual addresses concepts, principles, fundamentals, planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for developing Service manuals and refining existing training support packages, mission training plans, training center and unit exercises, and Service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to military support of CBRN aspects of command and control (C2).This publication is designed for use at the operational and tactical levels but has implications at the strategic level in the implementation of CBRN supporting strategic objectives. The manual will support command staffs, CBRN staff officers, CBRN noncommissioned officers (NCOs), non-CBRN personnel performing collateral duties as additional-duty CBRN officers or NCOs, and employees of civilian agencies in the assessment, planning, preparation, and execution of CBRN C2 functions. This publication is intended to provide multi- Service C2 concepts and considerations for planning for, responding to, and recovering from CBRN events. It is not stand-alone guidance for United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF) CBRN actions and activities. It is applicable to USAF units and USAF teams only in conjunction with appropriate USAF-specific publications, installation plans, supporting checklists, and other appropriate guidance.

Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ATTP 4-0. 1 (FM 100-10-1) Army Theater Distribution by United States Government US Army Pdf

The purpose of this manual is to provide the authoritative doctrine for Army theater distribution in support of operations across the full spectrum operations. This manual describes the Army distribution system, organization, structure, and operational processes within a theater. It provides doctrinal guidance for units with distribution responsibilities, operations, and the in-transit visibility (ITV) tracking and monitoring processes for moving personnel and materiel in theater. These topics are addressed as they pertain to geographic combatant commanders (GCC), logisticians at all levels, staff, and students who may require knowledge on Army, joint and multinational theater-level distribution. This manual also provides the basis for theater distribution system training, organizational, and materiel development. The target audience is logistics managers and planners operating external and internal in the theater of operations. It is doctrine for the units and commands that provide strategic and in-theater distribution, as well as the units supported by those organizations. It supports deployment doctrine and focuses on current Army distribution processes. Commands should adapt the doctrine in this manual to fit existing organizational structures. Current operations have demonstrated that Army forces can rapidly deploy units and materiel into an area of operations. These units require the proper sustainment to win the Nation's wars. Distribution is the key to delivering the sustainment to forces in the field. Theater distribution covers how the Army supports its forces as well as other requirements. Theater distribution requires focused Army organizations whose mission is to deliver the right stuff in the right quantity to the right place within the right time. To accomplish this task, the theater must have efficient distribution management, enhanced in-transit visibility and capable sustainment units. These Army tactics, techniques, and procedures apply to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. The proponent for this manual is the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. The preparing agency is the United States Army Combined Arms Support Command (USACASCOM).

Information Operations: Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (FM 3-13 / 100-6) by Department Army Pdf

Information is an element of combat power. Commanders conduct information operations (IO) to apply it. Focused IO-synchronized with effective information management and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance-enable commanders to gain and maintain information superiority. IO is a prime means for achieving information superiority. Users of FM 3-13 must be familiar with the military decision making process established in FM 5-0, Army Planning and Orders Production; the operations process, established in FM 3-0, Operations; and commander's visualization, described in FM 6-0, Mission Command: Command and Control of Army Forces. As the Army's key integrating manual for IO, this manual prescribes IO doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). It also establishes doctrine and TTP for the IO elements of operations security and military deception. This manual implements joint IO doctrine established in JP 3-13, Joint Doctrine for Information Operations; JP 3-54, Joint Doctrine for Operations Security; and JP 3-58, Joint Doctrine for Military Deception. This manual establishes the following as the definition of IO used by Army forces: Information operations is the employment of the core capabilities of electronic warfare, computer network operations, psychological operations, military deception, and operations security, in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to affect or defend information and information systems, and to influence decision making. This definition supersedes the definition of IO in FM 3-0. It is consistent with joint initiatives.

Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures Attp 1-0.1 S-1 (Army Human Resource) Operations May 2011 by United States Government Us Army Pdf

This Army tactics, techniques, and procedures (ATTP) manual provides doctrinal guidance and procedures that will enhance the delivery of human resources (HR) support in brigade and battalion S-1 sections. It will help HR leaders to guide actions and provide procedures to enable decision making.This publication is nested with Field Manual (FM) 1-0, Human Resources Support, and provides overarching doctrinal guidance and direction for conducting S-1 operations. ATTP 1-0.1 promotes a common understanding of HR support fundamentals at battalion, brigade, or brigade equivalent level S-1 sections throughout the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) cycle. This manual, along with FM 1-0, provides sufficient information to allow for execution of all required HR missions and functions dictated by current operational requirements and anticipated future actions. ATTP 1-0.1 provides the doctrinal base for developing operations plans (OPLANs) and associated standing operating procedures (SOPs). Leaders and HR operators at all levels must apply these fundamentals using the military decision-making process (MDMP); troop leading procedures; and mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations (METT-TC). This publication is an authoritative guide that requires judgment in application. ATTP 1-0.1 consists of three chapters and four appendices which address the operational roles of the S-1 and how the S-1 supports subordinate organizations during all military operations. It discusses and defines the roles and functions of S-1 sections and the support they provide to the generating and operating forces.• Chapter 1 describes the organization and structure of the brigade and battalion S-1 section. It discusses where HR support is performed; how specific HR support operations are conducted during each force pool of ARFORGEN; an overview of the supporting and supported relationships of brigade, brigade equivalent, and battalion S-1s; and how HR support is provided during reach operations (Rear Detachment), deployment cycle support (DCS), and military operations.• Chapter 2 describes the specific duties and responsibilities of the brigade and battalion S-1 Leadership Element, Personnel Readiness Team (PR TM), HR Services Team, and Rear Detachment. Provided are key duties and responsibilities which assist S-1s in planning, coordinating, and executing HR support for their unit.• Chapter 3 describes the four fundamental HR core competencies of man the force, provide HR services, coordinate personnel support, and conduct HR planning and operations which provide a framework for HR subordinate key functions within the brigade and battalion S-1 sections.• Appendix A provides critical information to brigade and battalion S-1s on specific HR tasks that are associated with the seven stages of DCS.• Appendix B provides key information to brigade and battalion S-1s on the management of United States Army Reserve (USAR) and Army National Guard (ARNG) personnel during mobilization and demobilization in support of Army military operations. Described are specific HR tasks associated with the nine phases of mobilization under the Army Mobilization Operations Planning and Execution System, which establishes procedures and standards for Reserve Component (RC) mobilization.• Appendix C provides information on HR systems that S-1s are required to access and operate. Specific HR automation systems used by S-1s within the brigade and battalion are described along with other non-HR systems that impact daily HR operations.• Appendix D provides an S-1 assessment checklist or guide for brigade and battalion S-1s to assist in assessing the effectiveness of the S-1 section.ATTP 1-0.1 applies to all Army components across the operating and generating forces, and during all levels of military operations. It assumes S-1s are fully staffed with technically proficient HR professionals.

Field Manual FM 6-0 Commander and Staff Organization and Operations May 2014 by Us Army, United States Government Pdf

Field Manual FM 6-0 Commander and Staff Organization and Operations May 2014 provides commanders and their staffs with tactics and procedures for exercising mission command. This publication supersedes ATTP 5-0.1, Commander and Staff Officer Guide. To comprehend the doctrine contained in this publication, readers must first understand the nature of unified land operations as described in ADP 3-0 and ADRP 3-0, Unified Land Operations. In addition, readers must also fully understand the principles of mission command as described in ADP 6-0 and ADRP 6-0, Mission Command, and the fundamentals of the operations process found in ADP 5-0 and ADRP 5-0, The Operations Process. The principal audience for FM 6-0 includes Army commanders, leaders, and unit staffs (officers, noncommissioned officers, and Soldiers). Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as a joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations as well as the employment of joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable United States, international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. FM 6-0 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 6-0 is the proponent publication (the authority) are marked with an asterisk (*) in the glossary. Terms and definitions for which FM 6-0 is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. FM 6-0 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. FM 6-0 contains 16 chapters and 4 appendixes. The chapters are organized by topic and have been updated to reflect changes to doctrine formats (Doctrine 2015) and changes in ADP 3-0 and ADRP 3-0, ADP 6-0 and ADRP 6-0, and ADP 5-0 and ADRP 5-0.

Army Techniques Publication Atp 3-90.90 Army Tactical Standard Operating Procedures November 2011 by United States Government US Army,Us Army Pdf

Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-90.90 facilitates development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in order to enhance efficiency and adaptability across the force. ATP 3-90.90 achieves this purpose through linking to a milWiki portal under the milSuite uniform resource locator (URL) containing guidance for tactical SOPs and unclassified examples of SOPs for reference. The SOP portal provides a baseline for developing new SOPs quickly and a forum for improving existing SOPs. The portal presents best practices consistent with doctrinal principles. Soldiers developing SOPs for their units are encouraged to apply critical thinking while referring to the models and other resources to aid their own content development. At a minimum, portal users must be familiar with this ATP, Field Manuals (FMs) 5-0 and 6-99.2; Army Regulations (ARs) 25-1, 34-4, and 380-5; and Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 25-403. Soldiers are encouraged to use the portal to collaborate, to improve the portal's contents, and to upload new SOP examples. The SOP portal is secure and requires an Army Knowledge Online or Defense Knowledge Online login. The portal's contents are unclassified. Neither this manual nor the SOP portal is intended to regulate the appearance or content of unit SOPs. Note. In June 2010, JP 3-31 changed standing operating procedure to standard operating procedure. The meaning is unchanged. The doctrine in this manual provides techniques for developing unit tactical SOPs. Units throughout the Army can take advantage of technology to obtain guidance, collaborate in real time, and find information quickly. This manual and the SOP portal are intended to enhance operational adaptability Army-wide. In the short term, the information in the SOP portal will help units establish or improve SOPs more rapidly. In the long term, the intention is that more and more units will build SOPs using the portal and the doctrine in this manual. Ideally, SOPs throughout the Army should increase in similarity as the combination of doctrinal guidance and Army-wide milWiki collaboration facilitates consensus. This will help units communicate and coordinate with one another more easily. Reassigned Soldiers and units will become familiar with SOPs in their new assignments more quickly. Chapter 1 of this ATP discusses resources for integrating SOP development with collaborative technology, doctrine, and policy. Chapter 2 discusses a process to help authors develop effective SOPs. Chapter 3 provides the SOP portal's URL and detailed instructions on how to use the portal. To enhance standardization of tactical SOPs, the SOP portal provides tactical SOP guidance organized according to the Army operation plan and order format. For the reader's convenience, chapter 3 of this manual shows a list of attachments and responsible staff officers as table 3-1 (pages 3-4 to 3-7). Table 3-1 serves as an approximate table of contents for the information under the portal's tactical SOP guidance tab. Because the volume and variability of material in the portal, providing a fixed listing of the portal's contents in this ATP is not practical. Unit SOP examples are organized under the portal's categories tab (described in chapter 3). The general categories used for SOP examples are nondoctrinal and variable; they will expand or change as Soldiers modify them.
