Campaigns and major operations involve large-scale combat against a capable enemy. These operations typically will require the full range of protection tasks, thereby complicating both planning and execution. Although the operational area and joint force may be smaller for a crisis response or limited contingency operation, the mission can still be complex and dangerous, thus requiring a variety of protection considerations. Permissive environments associated with military engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence still require that commanders and their staffs consider protection measures commensurate with potential risks. These risks may include a wide range of threats such as terrorism, criminal enterprises, environmental threats/hazards, and CNAs. Thus continuous research and access to accurate, detailed information about the operational environment along with realistic training can enhance protection activities. d. Force protection includes preventive measures taken to prevent or mitigate hostile actions against DOD personnel (to include family members), resources, facilities, and critical information. These actions preserve the force’s fighting potential so it can be applied at the decisive time and place and incorporate integrated and synchronized offensive and defensive measures that enable the effective employment of the joint force while degrading opportunities for the adversary. Force protection does not include actions to defeat the enemy or protect against accidents, weather, or disease. Force health protection (FHP)
