nationality, and mission configuration. CID characterizations, when applied with ROE,
enable engagement decisions concerning use or prohibition of lethal weapons and nonlethal
capabilities.
(b) The staff should develop CID procedures early during planning. These
procedures must be consistent with ROE and should not interfere with the ability of a unit or
individual to engage enemy forces. When developing the JFC’s CID procedures, important
considerations include the missions, capabilities, and limitations of all participants including
interorganizational partners.
For additional guidance on CID, refer to JP 3-09, Joint Fire Support.
(8) Force Health Protection. FHP complements force protection efforts, and
includes all measures taken by the JFC and the Military Health System to promote, improve,
and preserve the well-being of Service members. FHP measures focus on the prevention of
illness and injury. The JFC must ensure adequate capabilities are available to identify health
threats and implement appropriate FHP measures. Health threats are a composite of
ongoing or potential enemy actions; occupational, environmental, geographical, and
meteorological conditions; endemic diseases; and the employment of chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) that can reduce the effectiveness
of military forces. Therefore, a robust health surveillance system is essential to FHP
measures. Health surveillance includes identifying the population at risk; identifying and
assessing hazardous exposures; employing specific countermeasures to eliminate or mitigate
exposures; and monitoring and reporting battle injury, disease, and non-battle injury trends
and other health outcomes. Occupational and environmental health surveillance enhances
the joint force’s ability to limit all categories of injuries including combat and operational
stress exposure to CBRNE hazards.
For further guidance on FHP, refer to JP 4-02, Health Service Support.
(9) Critical infrastructure protection programs support the identification and
mitigation of vulnerabilities to defense critical infrastructure, which includes DOD and non-
DOD domestic and foreign infrastructures essential to plan, mobilize, deploy, execute, and
sustain US military operations on a global basis. Coordination between DOD entities and
other USG departments and agencies, state and local governments, the private sector, and
equivalent foreign entities, is key in effective protection of critical assets controlled both by
DOD and private entities. Vulnerabilities found in defense critical infrastructure shall be
remediated and/or mitigated based on risk management decisions made by responsible
authorities. These vulnerability mitigation decisions should be made using all available
program areas, including antiterrorism, MILDEC, OPSEC, and force protection.
(10) Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Operations. C-IED operations are
the collective efforts at all levels to neutralize the IED threat to friendly forces and civilians.
They are conducted as an integral part of the broader joint operation and include measures
taken to neutralize the infrastructure supporting the production and employment of IEDs;
technical exploitation of the device to obtain information to support targeting and improve
