…In limited circumstances, commanders use direct and observed joint fires when firing across boundaries at positively identified enemy forces when there is no time to coordinate with adjacent friendly units.

… A simultaneous relief in place occurs when all elements are relieved at the same time.  A staggered relief in place occurs when a commander relieves each element in a sequence determined by the tactical…

…Commanders try to engage an enemy force at extended ranges as the enemy’s attack advances. To control indirect fires, commanders use permissive and restrictive FSCMs. Permissive FSCMs include the coordinated fire line, the FSCLs, and…

…Armored units provide firepower and protection at the cost of heavy sustainment requirements and limitations in restrictive terrain. Stryker units provide firepower and great mobility out of contact, but they lack protection against many anti-armor…

…Army leaders at all echelons master the art and science of tactics—two distinct yet inseparable concepts—to solve the problems they will face on the battlefield. A tactical problem occurs when the mission variables—mission…

…Units at all echelons can conduct an area defense. The Battle of Kursk in July 1943 is a historical example of an area defense by the Soviets. (See FM 3-90-1 for a discussion of…

…However, the attachment of different units at the company level demands thorough training to achieve the maximum complementary effects. Whenever possible, platoons and detachments train together before their commitment to actual operations.

…Units at each echelon require standard operating procedures and drills for restoring functionality and connectivity. 3-55. A unit can employ any number of measures to restore functionality to degraded communications and information systems. A unit…

…Commanders at all levels assess resources available against their missions to determine how best to ensure minimum-essential stability tasks are performed. (See ATP 3-07.5 for more information on stability tasks.) Environmental Considerations 2…

…Army airspace planners at the senior operational and tactical levels help to develop the joint airspace control plan. Their participation is critical if they intend to request the authority to control division-assigned airspace using the…

…Maritime forces operating in littoral areas can dominate coastal areas and rapidly generate high intensity offensive power at times and in locations required by JFCs. Maritime forces’ relative freedom of action enables JFCs to position these…

…These enemy activities, especially at smaller unit levels, may even precede the onset of large-scale combat and be almost indistinguishable from terrorist acts. 4-109. Planners determine how military police elements supporting a defending unit…

…The tactical mission tasks listed at the bottom of figure 2-1 describe both actions and purposes. The tactical mission tasks have specific military definitions different from those found in common English. (See FM 3-90…

…Commanders focus on attacking the right combination of targets to accomplish the mission at the least cost. They create exploitable opportunities through rapid, violently executed, and unpredictable attacks that minimize an enemy force’s ability to…

…Certain data contains classified metadata which may need to be stripped at a remote site before it can be disseminated in an unclassified manner. A DSCA operation using DOD capabilities, which includes support to LEAs, will…

…AFDP 3-60 serves as a vital tool for Airmen at the operational level, equipping them with the knowledge to synthesize targeting processes across the spectrum of conflict-from deterrence and competition to large-scale combat…

…carry 30 percent of their body weight and retain much of their agility, stamina, alertness, and mobility. At times conditions dictate that a Soldier’s load must exceed this recommended weight. Effective commanders and subordinate leaders…

…must be able to detect emerging targets and be flexible enough to collect against them as well. At the same time, ISR assets must continue to monitor the “bigger picture,” in order to help discern whether…

…Tactical forces at all echelons use combinations of the four defeat mechanisms: destroy, dislocate, disintegrate, and isolate. There are also stability mechanisms used in the conduct of stability. (See ADP 3-0 for a discussion of…

…There is no prescribed procedure, but the following steps should be followed at a minimum:  Outline the main points and key assumptions and characterize the evidence supporting current analytic view.  Select one or more…
