The Army's framework for organizing and putting command and control into action is the operations process —the major command and control activities performed during operations: planning, preparing, executing, and continuously assessing the operation. Commanders use the operations process to drive the conceptual and detailed planning necessary to understand their operational environment (OE); visualize and describe the operation's end state and operational approach; make and articulate decisions; and direct, lead, and assess operations. Commanders, staffs, and subordinate headquarters employ the operations process to organize efforts, integrate the warfighting functions across multiple domains, and synchronize forces to accomplish missions. This includes integrating numerous processes and activities within the headquarters and with higher, subordinate, supporting, and supported units. Key integrating processes that occur throughout the operations process include intelligence preparation of the battlefield, information collection, targeting, risk management, and knowledge management. Planning requires the integration of both conceptual thinking and detailed analysis. Army leaders employ several methodologies for planning, determining the appropriate mix based on the scope and understanding of the problem, time available, and availability of a staff.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48823920591143,"sku":"LP-SMARTBOOK-BSS7","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/6450\/2311\/files\/Smartbook-BSS7-BattleStaff_aa207515-6593-4e81-9255-a08d6eda4f67.jpg?v=1734627306"},{"product_id":"smartbook-jfods6-joint-forces","title":"Smartbook JFODS6 Joint Forces","description":"\u003cp\u003eJFODS6 is the sixth revised edition of The Joint Forces Operations \u0026amp; Doctrine SMARTbook.

The competition continuum describes a world of enduring competition conducted through a mixture of cooperation, competition, and armed conflict. Competition is a fundamental aspect of international relations; as state and non-state actors seek to protect and advance their interests in pursuit of influence, advantage, and leverage, they continually compete over incompatible aims. Armed conflict varies in intensity and ranges from crisis response and limited contingency operations to large-scale combat operations. Joint planning is the deliberate process of determining how (the ways) to use military capabilities (the means) in time and space to achieve objectives (the ends) while considering the associated risks. Joint planning ties the military instrument of national power to the achievement of national security objectives and transforms national strategic objectives into operational design\/approaches, lines of operation, and operational objectives, which in turn are carried out through tactical actions. A joint task force (JTF) is the most common command and control option for conducting joint operations.

In the complex, dynamic operational environments of the 21st century, significant challenges to sustainable peace and security exist. Sources of instability that push parties toward violence include religious fanaticism, global competition for resources, climate change, residual territorial claims, ideology, ethnic tension, elitism, greed, and the desire for power. These factors create belts of state fragility and instability that threaten U.S. national security. Throughout U.S. history, U.S. forces have learned that military force alone cannot secure sustainable peace. U.S. forces can only achieve sustainable peace through a comprehensive approach in which military objectives nest in a larger cooperative effort of the departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, multinational partners, the private sector, and the host nation.

Individuals can make a difference in their own community but not everyone has bought into preparedness. Research on personal preparedness indicates that individuals who believe they are prepared for disasters often are not as prepared as they think. In addition, some admit they do not plan at all.

ICS is the national standard for response. The Incident Command System (ICS) helps ensure integration of our response efforts. ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach to incident management. ICS allows responders to adopt an integrated organizational structure that matches the complexities and demands of the incident while respecting agency and jurisdictional authorities. A poorly managed incident response can undermine our safety and well-being. With so much at stake, we must effectively manage our response efforts. Although most incidents are handled locally, partnerships among Local, Tribal, State, and Federal agencies as well as nongovernmental and private-sector organizations may be required. As partners, we must respond together in a seamless, coordinated fashion. The ICS SMARTbook provides a detailed explanation of ICS as outlined in FEMA Emergency Management courses 100, 200, 300, 400, 700, 703, and 800; including 2015 updates. It is designed to serve as an introduction to ICS concepts, methods, and organization, as a pocket reference for experienced responders, or as a desk reference for emergency planners, community leaders, or any responder involved in the Multiagency Coordination process.

Unmanned aircraft systems have been fielded in every military service, ranging from handheld micro-UAS to medium-sized tactical systems to full-grown remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). Globally, nations such as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran have accelerated drone innovation, producing systems rivaling Western models and reshaping the modern battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir defense artillery assets provide the backbone of layered counter-UAS (C-UAS) defense, integrating sensors, weapons, and command systems to detect, track, and defeat UAS.

Active defenses deny enemy initiative, while passive measures reduce vulnerability through coordination of sensors, weapons, and systems. Layered defenses increase in density as UAS threats approach protected areas, requiring coordination and co-location of sensors, weapons, and systems to close dead spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGround and aerial sensors provide airspace surveillance and early warning, feeding vertically and horizontally integrated kill chains. Engagement authorities select the “best shooter” to achieve keep-out ranges and altitudes, coordinating AMD C2 to defeat threats while minimizing fratricide. ADA defends ballistic and cruise missiles, hypersonics, manned aircraft and UAS. Non-ADA units and maneuver forces must supplement defenses with organic weapons and C-sUAS; engagements, lethal or non-lethal, use the best system per ROE, enabled by detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the U.S. Army buying one million new drones of all types over the next two to three years, sUAS are now employed by maneuver units in large numbers in a wide range of roles, fundamentally altering the conduct of military ground operations. sUAS missions include reconnaissance (SRR, MRR, LRR) with varying altitudes, ranges, and deconfliction needs, and attack\/strike (launched effects) including loitering munitions and one-way attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir \u0026amp; missile defense, counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS), and small unmanned aircraft (sUAS) operations -- including strike coordination and reconnaissance (SCAR) -- are all integrated within the fires warfighting function. Commanders must execute and integrate fires, in combination with the other elements of combat power, to create and converge effects and achieve the desired end state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTargeting is the process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the appropriate response to them, considering operational requirements and capabilities.
