…Meshtastic A relatively new addition to the world of communications, Meshtastic has become the primary tool for communities centered around low-power mesh communications using DIY LoRa (Long Range) devices. The extremely low cost of equipment…

…Usually the dead space for low-angle indirect fire is about five times the height of the highest building over which the rounds must pass. Figure B-16. Indirect-Fire Dead Space (Low Angle) b. Direct…

…Residential sprawl areas consist mainly of low houses or apartments that are one to three stories tall. The area is primarily composed of detached dwellings that are usually arranged in irregular patterns along streets, with many…

…If a Marine must use a doorway as an exit, he/she should move quickly through it to his/her next position, staying as low as possible to avoid silhouetting himself/herself (Figure A-12). Preselection…

…The urban environment greatly restricts low-angle indirect fires because of overhead masking. While all indirect-fire weapons are subject to overhead masking, mortars are less affected than field artillery weapons because of the mortar’s…

…After reconnoitering the other side, the Marine quickly rolls over the wall, keeping a low silhouette. The speed of his/her movement and a low silhouette deny the enemy a good target. Figure A-8. Crossing…

… Basic principles of the LoW.  Specific LoW concepts concerning personnel, objects, places, and collateral damage minimization.  ROE considerations.  Civilian harm mitigation and response.  The early and continuous involvement of judge advocates…

… High impact/low probability analysis, which discusses what could occur and the resultant consequences.  “What if” analysis, which reframes the question, assuming that the surprise event has occurred and then looks backward to identify…

…Because of CMOC’s low key approach, it was able to steer each organization it touched to greater organization and efficiency. Finally, early development of an exit strategy provided decision points with tangible measures. All parties…

…To extend the targeting enterprise to the edge user base, targeting automation must also be able to accommodate producers and consumers of information on low bandwidth, message-based environments. The following sections detail considerations associated with…

…While information technology can make networks more effective, low technology means (such as couriers, paper messages, and landline telephones) can enable networks to avoid detection and operate effectively in certain circumstances.

… Broadens the analyst’s view of low probability/high impact developments and, in turn, often forces a more objective viewpoint, thus lessening the chances the analyst dismisses or discounts a scenario or key driver based…

…Precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of harm to civilians, other persons, and protected objects.33 According to the LoW, expected incidental damage to civilian objects should not be excessive in relation to the…

…A well-executed counterinsurgency eventually results in only low network-density subgroups. This is because high network-density subgroups require only the capture of one highly connected member to lead police or military forces to the…

…Nodes on the periphery receive very low centrality scores. However, peripheral nodes are often connected to networks that are not currently mapped. The peripheral nodes may be resource gatherers or individuals with their own network outside…

…The steps within “what if” analysis look similar to the steps within the high impact/low probability analytic technique once the analyst has established the event itself:  Step 1. Assume the event has happened or…

…Finally, information and other non-kinetic weapons, as well as the low-intensity transnational nature of the Global War on Terror, have made the possibility of less overt force employment a reality. Things may be happening…
