Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ATTP 5-0.1 Commander and Staff Officer Guide September 2011


Book Description

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 Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.60 Civil Affairs Planning April 2014


Book Description

Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.60 Civil Affairs Planning April 2014 expands the doctrinal discussion of the role of CA forces supporting Army and joint operational planning that resides in FM 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. Publication of ATP 3-57.60 incorporates revisions to the Army's running estimate and operation plan (OPLAN) formats. Support of operational planning by CA forces occurs at all levels of war-strategic, operational, and tactical. Whether conducted by CA Soldiers assigned to the staffs of various mission command headquarters or by CA planning teams augmenting those organizations, planning for U.S. forces' interaction with the civil component of the operational environment (OE) is required across the range of military operations. Publication of ATP 3-57.60 replaces CA planning doctrine found in FM 3-05.401 /Marine Corps Reference Publication 3-33.1A, Civil Affairs Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures. ATP 3-57.60 consists of five chapters and four appendixes: Chapter 1 provides techniques used by CA Soldiers used in conducting civil considerations analysis and analysis of the operational variables during planning. The discussion further provides techniques used in determining centers of gravity (COGs) as they relate to the civil component of the OE, MOEs, and MOPs. Chapter 2 describes techniques used in the application of the CA methodology in the execution of TLP and problem solving. Detailed planning considerations are provided for the analysis of civil considerations in the conduct of TLP. Chapter 3 discusses the role of the CA planner in the execution of the MDMP. The chapter provides techniques used by CA planners during each of the seven steps of the MDMP. Chapter 4 describes the role of CA planners in the execution of the JOPP. The chapter provides a discussion of the linkage required in the planning of CAO supporting the joint force commander's CMO intent and concept of operations (CONOPS). The discussion provides techniques used by CA planners during each step of the JOPP. Chapter 5 provides techniques and planning considerations used by CA Soldiers in supporting the development of a transition plan. It describes the various types of transition and provides a listing of transition tasks that assist the CA planner to identify and prioritize those tasks required for transition. Appendix A details the procedures and provides an example format for the completion of the CA area study. Appendix B details the procedures and the format for the development of Annex K (Civil Affairs Operations) to an Army OPLAN or operation order (OPORD). Appendix C details the procedures and the format for the development of the CAO running estimate. Appendix D addresses planning considerations regarding personnel protection issues during all phases of deliberate and crisis action planning and general considerations used in conducting urban area operations.

Book Description

This publication, Field Manual FM 3-57 Civil Affairs Operations April 2019, provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capabilities in support of unified land operations. It also provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of Civil Affairs operations (CAO) in support of civil-military operations (CMO).FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in the execution of CAO, and in support of CMO, with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces execute CAO in support of unified land operations in all theaters across the range of military operations to achieve unified action. A force multiplier for every commander, CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist in dealing with the complex and ever-changing civil component of the operational environment (OE). CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess CAO in support of Army and joint operations. Their cultural orientation, regional expertise, linguistic capabilities, advisory ability, and civilian acquired professional skills paralleling common government functions are essential elements to the successful completion of the commander's mission.The principal audience for FM 3-57 is the leadership of the Army, officers, and senior noncommissioned officers who command Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war.

Book Description

Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations, provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capability in support of unified land operations. It provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of operations in support of the joint force commander's (JFC's) civil-military operations (CMO) concept. FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in support of CMO with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces support missions in every theater, in peace and war, throughout unified land operations. CA forces are a combat multiplier for every commander. CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist him in dealing with the complex and ever- changing civil component of the operational environment. CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess the JFC's concept for CMO. They are essential elements in the support of the commander by virtue of their area and linguistic orientation, cultural awareness, training in military to host nation (HN) advisory activities, and civilian professional skills that parallel common government functions. The principal audience for FM 3-57 is the leadership of the Army, officers and senior noncommissioned officers who command Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference to the civilian leadership of the United States (U.S.) interagency organizations. Although written primarily to assist the Army Service component command (ASCC), Army corps, Army divisions, brigade combat teams (BCTs), and maneuver enhancement brigades (MEBs) with the integration of Civil Affairs operations (CAO) in planning, preparing for, executing, and assessing unified land operations, this FM is applicable for joint force operations as well. The commander must always consider the engagement of the civil component within the area of operations (AO). Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and in some cases, HN laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement (See FM 27-10). FM 3-57 uses joint terms, where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 3-57 is the proponent publication (the authority) are marked with an asterisk (*) in the glossary. Definitions for which FM 3-57 is the proponent publication are boldface in the text. These terms and their definitions will be in the next revision of FM 1-02.
