PREFACE
1. This latest edition of the Staff Officers Handbook (SOHB) has been prepared, published and distributed by the Land Warfare 1 (LW1) Branch of DGD&D. The layout follows the previous format but introduces a system of Serials for each major Part of the Handbook. This will allow for easier amendment to take account of the inevitable changes that will occur. It is intended to issue an amendment to this Handbook in the year 2000 and to plan on a major revision in the year 2001. 2. Each page of the SOHB has an authority recorded which indicates to the reader the original source of the information recorded on that page. This also implies that the authority recorded on each page is responsible for that information and thus any changes or amendments to that information will have to be authorised by that sponsor before acceptance by DGD&D for subsequent inclusion into any future amendments or revisions. Suggestions for improving the content or layout of SOHB are always welcome. These can be sent direct to RO1 Author, LW1, DGD&D. 3. This edition of SOHB has attempted to reflect some of the changes promulgated by the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) particularly in regard to ORBATs and new structures. Some new structures are still in the proposal stage, or have not been endorsed by the appropriate establishment authority and others have not yet been finalised. Readers will have to recognise that this is an iterative process and will (probably) never be entirely accurate or up to date. The most up to date information about organisations or structures should be available from the sponsor of that page. 4. SDR is not the only complication for an up to date SOHB. NATO is in the process of changing its map symbology and although this process has not yet been ratified it is expected that within the next 12 months all NATO nations will be using the new map symbology. These details are not recorded in this SOHB. This, however, reinforces the rationale for the UK Armed Forces to move away from using single Service and possibly joint forms of operational staff duties and abbreviations in the near future. The Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCSC) have the overall sponsorship of all Joint Service Writing and are in the process of rewriting JSP 101 which has been in use for many years. An interim JSP 101(A) has been produced which covers Service Writing in peace time HQs and the MOD but this does not replace Parts 4 and 5 of JSP 101 which deal with operational staff duties and are still extant. The reader will see that Part 5 of this new Handbook is in two portions a portion covering UK operational staff duties and a portion covering NATO-agreed staff duties. There are significant differences. It is intended that the next edition of SOHB will not have any UK operational staff duties formats at all and that all Army formations and units will make use of NATO-agreed formats and abbreviations in their operational writing. 5. It is inevitable in a Handbook of this type that minor errors and inconsistencies will occur in the preparation of these Serials. The altered layout does allow for easy addition and subtraction of material when necessary, and a major portion of the Handbook has been recorded electronically in WORD format. Readers are encouraged to send amendments/changes/corrections to RO1 Author, LW1, DGD&D at any time using a floppy disc to forward their contribution. In addition, the RO1 Author may seek sponsor assistance to rationalise and harmonise the layout and presentation of material provided for publication before the next major revision of the Handbook. 6. Finally as a result of experience gained, it is apparent that SOHB is an important part of a units publications and does not just serve as a useful tool to those on Staff courses (as originally envisaged). To this end SOHB has been placed on DGD&Ds CD-ROM in order to allow staff officers at major HQs to have the Handbook readily available on any appropriate computer network. It is also distributed in hard copy form on a wide scale to all units, training establishments and other Army groupings (DAs, training teams, independent minor units, garrison libraries etc). Requests for additional copies can be made to DGD&D by telephone, fax or letter, but have to be properly justified before additional copies can be allocated.

SERIAL 50 BG HQ GENERAL POINTS BG HQ 1. When deployed for ops, BG HQ comprises 3 principal elms: Tac, Main and Step Up. a. Tac HQ. Designed to allow BG Comd and his chief sp arms advisers to move freely throughout BG area with reasonable sy and good comms. When deployed in this small fwd HQ, BG Comd can maint tight pers con of the battle. b. Main HQ. Ensure that BG Comds Os are carried out. Under 2IC cons BG net and mans rear link. BG Log O also operates from Main HQ and controls the echs. c. Step-Up. Designed to monitor BG Comd and Admin Nets to enable it to assume comd in emergencies for limited periods (eg the mov of MAIN) or for specific ops (eg fwd passage of lines or obs X). 2. Some pers normally loc at BG HQ when not in contact may be deployed to other tasks (eg Bde LOs) as nec. Echs 3. There are normally three echs A1, A2 and B which provide CSS sp for the BG. These echs are essential to sustain ops. Atts 4. Atts to BG HQ will depend on nature of ops being undertaken. For most ops, atts to BG HQ would incl a BCs party and a BG Engr Ops Offr (BGEOO). An engr SHQ may also be att for ops demanding addl engr effort. Altn Comd 5. Altn comd should be nominated; normally this will be BG 2IC with a sub-unit comd nominated as his res. For specific ops sub-unit comds may be nominated in lieu of BG 2IC. Example Layouts 6. Variations in manning and eqpt mean differences in org between armd and armd inf BG HQs and an example layout of each is given at Pages ??? and ???. It is stressed that each example reps only one option from many poss layouts since only the BG Comd can decide where key pers are best loc within his HQ.

SERIAL 127 CSS FUNCTIONS WITHIN A DIV AREA 1. The disposition of the DSG and the Brigade Support Group (BSG) vary in that in each case the orgs in the fwd part of the Div area are more flexible than those in depth and can move fwd in dir sp of the fighting elms. Those orgs in the rear of the Div area require more time and space to function, with a slower in and out of action time, the regular mov of which would seriously disrupt CSS activity. 2. First and Second Line med resources should gen be loc where they can be readily moved to where cas are being, or likely to be, taken. This flexibility and speed of response is fundamental to an eff CASEVAC system. 3. C3 is the key to the system. Each part of the CSS org has to have an HQ to coord def, to move the 'interface pts' (for example, XPs and Sqn Main) and to move the assets and resources to match the demand. The Div and Bde RVs are vital for the con and mov of CSS sp. Notes: 1. 2. Representative BG. RAP and Med Sect usually colloc with BG HQ or A1 Ech. All med assets above unit level are under comd Comd Med. A1 Ech usually comd & coord CSS assets of BG. Fitter Sect colloc with F Ech. Unit OC LADs may be loc at A1 Ech. A2 Echs usually 'brigaded' in fwd part of BSG with a senior ech comd to org def. LSDs provide C sups & mat for fwd units & colloc with A2 Echs. Usually one per BG. DS colloc with Fd Amb HQ, CO may be loc at Bde HQ and med LO will always be there. DS does not always move with the BSG; it needs to be loc as close to battle as tac sit allows to keep CASEVAC lines as short as poss. Preferred means of CASEVAC from all med units is SH (ideally dedicated). FRTs, from the Fwd Pl (old FRG), provide fwd repair in accordance with Comd ES's plan. May be alloc to BG LADs or 'cab-ranked' or held back in the Fwd Pl or even outside bde area altogether. ECP normally colloc with Fwd Pl. Bde Sp SHQ (Sqn Main) is a C3 node; holding stocks as nec and con fwd and rearward mov of replen vehs. It may also admin HQ BSG and they will often colloc.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

9.
10. Bde RV manned by CS Sqn Det + Pro + C3. Key role of con mov in and out of the bde area. 11. XPs may be estb as a C3 node where the distances become stretched. More likely to be between 2nd/3rd Line but could be within 2nd Line. 1 - 127 - 1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ RLC
12. Div Tps Fd Amb. Primary role to provide med sp to DSG but can be deployed as Comd Med wishes. 13. Comds BG replen system & can comd def & mov of fwd part of the hour-glass, specifically in Offensive Ops where CSS elms are well fwd providing intimate sp to leading elms. 14. For div tps. 15. HLS for CASEVAC. 16. The ACP is another C3 nodal pt, con fwd mov of arty ammo. It may be loc within the BSG for def and mov. Replen vehs usually mov via Div and Bde RVs. 17. Hosp is sp by RE, RLC laundry, pnr and tpt (amb) sp. Deployed only when warranted by foreseen cas and may be lt scales. Once deployed it is difficult to reloc quickly; siting by Comd Med is critical. 18. Stocks and mat grounded on DROPS Flatracks and usually overseen by SHQs and dets from Close and Gen Log Sp Regts depending on the loc within DSG. Bulk breaking of stocks also carried out here to make up BG loads. HLS colloc if poss. 19. 1 (UK) Armd Div has 3 x Reg REME Bn and 1 x TA REME Bn as shown. 3 (UK) Div has only 1 Reg REME Bn and 1 x TA REME Bn. The 1 (UK) Armd Div TA REME Bn would work for CSSG(G) the 3 (UK) Div TA REME Bn would work for CSSG(UK). ES functional split: CS - exchange PPs, E&MA, LRUs for high pri eqpt (fwd repair), arm repair, A veh repair (high pri), SA and MG repair, and rec from battlefield; GS most elect/optronic repair, PP repair, spec B vehs, low pri A vehs, depth repair (as nec), most ac repair, and rear rec/backloading; TA - gen and B veh repair, rec, and reclamation. Eqpt XP incl PP XP. Specific relationships are: ES Bn HQ comd CS/GS coys (no and structure of bns depends on type of fmn being sp); TA Bn may also provide ES sp within FSG if nec; and Ac Bn REME exerts Functional Con over all Ac ES, and its HQ may be colloc with Comd ES. 20. HQ DSG comds def and mov of the DSG. May be colloc and/or blended with HQ Gen Sp Regt. HQ of rear area sy force needs to be colloc with HQ DSG for effective C3, especially of fire. 21. Illustrative sy force: usually needs AD, ground forces, recce and hel for flank protection. 22. Div RV manned by a det from Gen Sp Regt. RV is normally the main entry into div area although an addl CSS tfc entry pt may be estb if required. Tasks and importance as per Note 10 above. 23. B Echs are normally adjacent to the Div RV. 24. Div Arty may move as an Arty Gp. Ammo is provided via ACPs whereas other C sups are drawn from Div Tps DP. 1 - 127 - 2 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ RLC
25. Poss alloc is one Fwd Del Sqn per div. Rft vehs and crews are received from Holding Sqn at 3rd Line. Replacement crews come from fol sources: ITR, crews from disabled vehs and dischargees from med org. Armd Del should therefore be linked-in with pers rft system and appropriate med & ES units. 26. The FSG gp shown is illustrative only. FSG ORBAT is matched to specific ops as nec.

A recoverable, propeller driven fixed wing UAV with a TICM2 sensor that gives near real time imagery for tgt acquisition and surv. Cruise speed is 126 kph and endurance 4 hrs+. Wing span is 5.5 m. Wt 177 kg. TI sensor op height is 600 to 2000m (optimum 800 m) above ground level. Secondary tasks are adjustment of guns and mors, battlefield damage assessment (BDA), surv tasks in sp of the int collection
Planning radius of action is 70 km from the Ground Data Terminal (GDT). Actual range is dictated by the line of sight link UAV/GDT. It could be less than 70 km if the GDT is not sited on high ground, and more than 70 km with favourable ground conditions. The sensors max field of view is approx 500 x 500 m. The min is 150 x 150 m. Accuracy CEP of 100 m at 50 km. Will recognise a MBT at 2 km.

Notes: 1. Data is shown for temperate climatic conditions assuming fuel is immediately aval without tac considerations. 2. Details of UK hel landing drills, marshalling and control of hels on landing are being produced in a new publication JWP 3-51 (due out in mid 99). 3. Radius of action varies according to airspeed and environment. It is assumed that aircraft with external loads will fly at 90 kt unless otherwise indicated, returning empty at best range speed. 4. Puma, Wessex, Sea King and Chinook aeromed fit is seldom used. The loading of full stretcher fit is time-consuming and is normally carried with ac shutdown. 5. Fast roping is restricted to specialist units whose instructors have attended a formal course at JATE. 6. For op tasks, Puma HC Mk 2 is cleared to op at a max take-off weight of 7,400 kg, therefore quoted weights can be increased by 400 kg. 7. The Chinook HC Mk 2 is currently ltd in peacetime to a max take-off weight of 22,700 kg. In wartime, the limit could be raised to 24,500 kg if op nec. 8. Chinook is normally fitted with side seats for 26 and 14 seat belts on floor (total 40) but there are other options in conjunction internal/external freight loading. During ops, up to 80 pax can be carried standing.

Notes: 1. A wide variety of ac from many nations may provide sp to UK forces. RAF and selection of most common other nations ac shown here. AI is normally preferred method of providing air sp due to lower threat and greater tactical freedom for ac. 2. Close Air Support (CAS) may be provided by almost any ac capable of dropping a bomb or firing a gun. CAS is a role requiring considerable trg and expertise from both aircrew and FACs if it is to be eff. Not all ac possess the appropriate performance in terms of manoeuvrability, wpn systems and sortie rate capability. More specifically: a. Ac require con by FAC (may be helborne). Laser Target Marker Operator (LTMO) is a bonus, and can be used by Harrier, Jaguar, A-10, F-16D, Tornado GR1/4, F-18 (USMC). b. Ac op in multiples of 2 or 4. c. Ac carry chaff flares and EW eqpt for self-def. 3. These are standard loads, a mix of wpns can be carried. 4. Paveway II/III are laser PGMs. 5. Tornado GR4 has only 1 x 27 mn cannon, and will carry Brimstone in place of CBU. 6. Air Landed Anti-Radiation Missile only 2 RAF sqns, normal fit 5 or 2 ALARM.

SERIAL 1 TIME AND SPACE PLANNING 1. Planning and Execution Time. Execution time includes a small allowance for movement within the next superior comds area and runs from receiving the order, through the battle procedure, to starting to execute the plan. No allowance is made for anticipation or preparation before receiving the order. At the higher levels and with formations held in greater depth extra time must be added for movement. e.g. for a corps held in depth as an AG reserve add 24 hours for movement. Level of Comd a. b. c. d. e. f. Sub-unit Unit Bde Div Corps AG Execute (hrs) 3 6 12 24 48 96 Planning & Observation (hrs) 0-6 3-15 6-30 12-48 24-96
2. Time Lines. A useful example of this is that a Bde Comds area of interest in terms of time is up to 30 hours ahead. He has to make a decision that affects his whole comd no later than 12 hours before he wishes it executed and 6 hours for one affecting a single unit. 3. Enhancing Timeliness. Fight the battle appropriate to the level of comd and in the decision time frame of that level of comd. The execution time can be speeded up and hence decision can be delayed by: a. Planning for Options - but this requires time in advance of the event and that events unfold as anticipated. b. c. Grouping to a standard pattern - difficult with scarce resources. Lowering decision levels by: (1) Committing smaller groupings - but this lacks combat power.
(2) Grouping a bit of everything with everyone - but this runs the risk of penny packetting. (3) Mission comd.

Source: Numbers, Predictions and War, Dupuy, T.N. 1979. Notes: 1. When there is surprise, multiply these figures by a surprise factor as follows: ... Complete Surprise x 5 (eg Germans at The Ardennes in 1944, Arabs in 1973). ... Substantial Surprise x 3 (eg German Invasion of Russia in 1941, Israelis Invasion of Sinai in 1967). ... Minor Surprise x 1.3 (eg Allied Normandy landing in 1944, Indias attack on Pakistan in 1971). The effects of surprise last for 3 days, being reduced by one-third on day 2 and two-thirds on day 3. Use the relative combat power from paragraph 2a(4) in the operations estimate. Prepared defence is based on defender in prepared positions (24 hours or more). Hasty defence is based on 2 to 12 hours preparation time. The ratios used here are to determine the degree of resistance. There is no direct relationship between advance rates and force ratios. However, sustained advances probably are not possible with a 3 to 1 ratio. Advance is possible against superior forces but cannot be sustained. Rates greater than 6 to 1 will result in advances between these and the unopposed rates.

Degree of Resistance Attacker to Defence Ratio Intense Resistance 1:1 Very Heavy 2:1(-) Heavy 3:1 Medium 4:1 Light 5:1 Negligible 6:1 Notes: 1. 2. 3. Units cannot sustain these rates for 24 hours. These rates are reduced by at night. The relative combat power ratio must be computed for the unit under consideration. When there is surprise, multiply these figures by a surprise factor as follows: Complete Surprise x 5 (e.g. Germans at The Ardennes in 1994, Arabs in 1973). Substantial Surprise x 3 (e.g. German Invasion of Russia in 1941, Israelis Invasion of Sinai in 1967). Minor Surprise x 1.3 (e.g. Allied Normandy landing in 1944, Pakistanis attack on India in 1971). The effects of surprise last for 3 days, being reduced by one-third on day 2 and two-thirds on day 3. Prepared defence is based on defender in prepared positions (24 hours or more). Hasty defence is based on 2 to 12 hours preparation time. The ratios used here are to determine the degree of resistance. There is no direct relationship between advance rates and force ratios. However, sustained advances probably are not possible without a 3 to 1 ratio. Advance is possible against superior forces but cannot be sustained. Prepared Defence (3) Go Terrain

Wedge Loads. (1) The Wedge Load is dropped over the rear sill of the ac immediately prior to the despatch of the parachutists. In peacetime a separation is required between the first paratroop and the load, the exact interval being decided by the tail wind component (average time 6 seconds). (2) Two loads of up to 150 lbs AUW each (1400 lbs load, 100 lbs parachute) or one load of a maximum 2500 lbs AUW (2400 lbs load, 100 lbs parachute) can be dropped. The single load can use a double length baseboard for bulky loads with an AUW of 3000 lbs. (3) Dimensions. Maximum load dimensions (in inches) are as follows: (a) Single Baseboard. 52 x 43 x 48 (h) (b) Double Baseboard. 82 x 52 x 48 (h)

Maximum Un-Refuelled Radius of Action (RoA) of Fully Laden C-130. Flight Profile (b) C-130 low C-130 high/low/high C-130 high Size of DZ for Men and Eqpt. a. Width. Asa a gen rule a standard DZ for men or eqpt is 500-800m wide (7001000m for ac in stream). A parallel DZ, where an ac drops eqpt to the side of a DZ on which men have been dropped, is usually about 1,200-1,500m wide. b. Length. 60m per para should be allowed, with 200m at each end for undershoot/overshoot. The actual methods used for calculating DZ length are somewhat different and more complicated but this is adequate as a guide. c. DZ for Hercules Drop. (1) With 62 Paras. Two simultaneous sticks of 31: 60 + 400m = 2,320m. RoA (c) 500 nm 650 nm 900 nm Remarks (d) 925 km Last 200 nm to tgt at low. 1200 km 1665 km
(2) With 88 Paras. Two simultaneous sticks of 44: 45 + 400m = 3100m. Wedge equates to approx 6 troops, ie an extra 360m. (3) In Hy Drop Role. Undershoot 200m, hy drop 2 platforms (700m) and overshoot 200m = 1,100m. 5. Size of DZ for Stores. a. DZs for stores should be 800m x 750m, if poss in the dir of the prevailing wind. Much less may have to be accepted in difficult country. b. There should be no obs to the approach of ac at dropping height within 1.5 (but preferably 5) km of the DZ at either end. In peacetime at ni hy drop is rel at 700 ft above ground level with reefed mains extraction. c. The surface of the DZ and the ground on the downwind side of it should be as clear as poss to facilitate the rec of stores. d. air. The DZ should be near a prominent landmark or otherwise easily loc from the
e. The DZ should be free from en obsn and not exposed to en fire. There should be no danger to ac from our own arty or mors. This is a real problem in the jungle where the lack of open spaces will often mean gun areas and DZs having to share the same clearing.

SERIAL 8 AIRMOB LOG SP DATA Outline of CSS Plans for Ops 1. Airmob CSS sp of ops are dependent on many different factors, however, the framework of execution on which most plans are based is outlined below. 2. Phase 1 Deployment to Theatre. The Bde will deploy under national arrangements into its own Staging Area (SA), within a larger MND(C) SA, through a Point of Disembarkation (POD). HQ NSG will receive and administer the leading elms of the Bde in conjunction with the Airmob Bde CSS Bn and the Bde Fd Records Office (FRO), under the direction of SO2 SPS. Transfer of Authority (TOA) will occur in the SA with the Airmob Bde becoming OPCOM MND(C); although national logistics units would not generally be placed OPCOM. The inload of pers, C Sups, eqpt and mat will continue until the levels stipulated in the UK sustainability statement are achieved. Normally only 7 DOS (less the high demand CSups) will be fwd in the Bde area so as to reduce ground dumping to a minimum. Bulk Fuel Installations (BFI) are estb by the Airmob Bde CSS Bn and the RAFs Tactical Supply Wing (TSW) in the Bde Sp Areas (BSA) to hold avn fuel. The balance of national stocks, WMR and BCRs are controlled by the NSG. Unit B Echs would generally remain in the SA throughout. 3. Phase 2 Estb of a Bde Fwd Op Base (FOB). Deployment into the Bde FOB will primarily be by road at night as, in general, for OPSEC the minimum number of SH or avn assets will be flown into the FOB prior to the move fwd of the Bde F echs. If possible F echs will be flown direct from the SA to a committal area (CA). The Bde FOB will be sp by a BSG, based on an RLC Sqn but with elms of Bde HQ staff att. The BG F echs will deploy with a minimum of 2 DOS CSups, with 5 DOS inloaded into the FOB based on the priorities identified in the CSS concept. This deployment fwd will result in a split in the BSG into BSG (Fwd) at the FOB and BSG (Rear) at the SA. The resupply loop between rear and fwd and the inload of the FOB is undertaken by the RLC TA. Within the Bde FOB each avn BG deploys its own Regtl FOB to provide 1st line CSS sp, reinforced by a CS pl from the 2nd line Ac Wksp. Unit A2 echs would generally remain in the Bde FOB and, where possible, hold 3 DOS on wheels. 4. Phase 3 CSS Prelim Ops. Due to the high consumption rates of a number of critical CSups it is generally necessary to undertake a prelim op to pre posn stocks, which are usually held on wheels. These msn enabling CSups (usually avn fuel, arty ammo and/or M&E) are generally loc in an area already held by friendly tps or else the site will need to be secured by an inf BG. The CSups are usually inloaded by road but can be inloaded by airbridge alone by using specialist eqpt such as Airportable Fuel Containers (APFSc) which can be underslung from SH, airdropped or carried on DROPS flatracks. Airmob CSS prelim ops can also be used to facilitate a Bde deception plan. 5. Phase 4 Sustainment in the Committal Area (CA). The vast majority of airmob ops must be sustained by road, less the inload of CSups in the Bde air mov plan (AirMovO) and the resup of critical natures post committal, which are by helicopter (SH to LBH). However, in a number of limited ops sustainment is possible by airbridge alone. Those elms deployed by SH into a CA must be prep to be self sufficient until either the road tail links up or the Bde is withdrawn. For example, inf BGs are assumed to be self sufficient for 3-8-1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ 24 Airmob Bde
the first 48 hrs. G4 input to the AirMovO is vital at both Bde and BG level to ensure units arrive logistically balanced in the CA. All airbridge resup into the CA after committal of the F echs is controlled by BSG (Fwd) who control the log Pick Up Point (PU) within the FOB and log Drop Off Point (DOP) in the CA. The Airmob CSS Bn is capable of flying fwd critical Log Sp and ES pers and eqpt to control the resup to BG A1 echs in the CA and to provide 2nd line repair of critical eqpt. The Airmob Fd Amb have a number of airmob Dressing Stations (DS) configurations from lt to hvy to meet the msns cas est, all of which are deployable by a comb of LBH and SH. These purely CSS gpings in the CA are called the CSS Fly Fwd Elms. The avn BGs, and occasionally the Airmob CSS Bn, can deploy a Fwd Arming and Refuelling Point (FARP) to sp avn ops in the CA. Unit A1 echs are usually deployed into the CA with 2 DOS to sp the F echs. 6. Phase 5 Link Up or Withdrawal. Sustainment by an airbridge alone into a CA cannot, on a national basis, be maintained beyond 48 hrs before either the Bde road tail links up or the tps committed in the CA are withdrawn. CSS Ops is resp for planning this phase and also, in conjunction with CO 24 airmob CSS Bn, for planning the Bdes rehab. Other Staff Tables and CSS Data. 7.

Avn Fuel a. Fuel may be provided by a variety of methods, but normally from a regtl FARP with a 4,500 ltr TARs providing mobility and flexibility of deployment. TARs are resup by Bde 2nd line TTFs (usually 12,000/22,500 ltr capacity). Consideration should be given to using sp hel, APFC and pillow tanks depending on the threat and tactical sit. b. FARPs can be deployed well fwd if the sit permits, allowing sqns to conduct continuous ops by reducing turn-round times.

JFAC Comd (JFACC) employs Joint Air Ops Centre (JAOC) to plan and execute JFAC ops; deploys Air Ops Coordination Centres (AOCC) to most senior surface component HQs. AOCC advised on air power exploitation and synchronisation, AD integration, Airspace Control (ASC), AI targeting, CAS employment and FAC allocation. Surface Component Comds (CC) deploy liaison teams, such as land Battlefd Coordination Detachment (BCD), to JAOC. BCD advised on JFLC scheme of manoeuvre and intent, air power requirements, ASC needs and special-to-arm advice, eg AD, AH. JFAC ops may support theatre objectives strategic targets, Defensive/Offensive Counter Air (D/OCA) or component objectives through Air Interdiction (AI) and Close Air Support (CAS). The diagram shows examples of JFAC support to JFLC all-arms air manoeuvre with Joint Air Attack Team (JAAT). JFLC ops may support JFAC ops.

SERIAL 11 AIR SPACE CON 1. General Points. Land assets include avn (with SH), MLRS, arty, mors, GW, UAV and GBAD. All require airspace and need min restrictions to achieve tempo. Reach and wpns of fixed wing ac and maritime fires (including TLAM) may also be relevant, provided they are applied responsively, flexibly, and matched to rapidly shifting op sit. There may also be times and places in the Land Commanders (LC) AO where air ops have to be limited, eg deception, perception management, or to conserve a sensitive situation. 2. Con. In land HQ, AD cell is responsible for ASC; helps theatre ASC Auth (ACA) develop responsive plan (ACP), coords unit ASC needs (ACM), dissem ASC orders (ACO). Flexible, responsive ASC throughout AO, tailored to op but adaptable to rapidly changing tac situation is critical. Short of any FSCL, LC con air ops within his AO through positive or procedural means. LC also coords his ops beyond FSCL with air ops. Current eqpt only permits mainly procedural control, needing flexible, adaptive ACMs, ASC sub-areas and WCOs. In future, LC will aim to exploit DBL for positive ASC. 3. Positive Con. Needs radar/surv sensors, ID procedures (eg IFF), 2-way comms/data links, and other C4I elms to track, ident and direct airspace users. Pros/cons: a. b. c. Wpn systems may be exploited to full within ROE, eg BVR engagements. Units may be rapidly redirected to match changing tac sit for high-tempo ops. Users may rapidly exploit different volumes of airspace to match op needs.
d. Two-way comms between all airspace users/con auth essential; those unable to comply denied access. e. Has to retain reversionary proc con in case of degradation of pos con system.
4. Procedural Con. Needs matrix of ACM and WCO, issued via ACOs and Special Instructions (SPINS) to allow airspace access within agreed restrictions. Pros/cons: a. Choice of ACMs permit ACP optimised to needs of all comds.
b. Comds may be given airspace (and be con auth) in which they have complete freedom of action, albeit at expense of other possible users. c. For max flexibility, provision may be made for function/pris within ACMs to change IAW specified criteria. d. Two-way comms need not be nec for access to airspace; other procedures/WCOs may ensure safety of users. e. ACMs may hinder ops of others, and new ACMs/ACOs take time to agree, coord and issue, limiting op tempo. 6. Summary. Whichever method of ASC chosen, all airspace users have to obey the ACO. Nevertheless, ACP has to be responsive to changing tac situation through ACO, SPINS or other emergency ASC procedure. 3 - 11 -1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority DGD&D

SERIAL 13 NBC DECONTAMINATION DATA 1. Introduction. The planning figures for decontamination (decon) can be split into 2 categories, Operational and Thorough. However, there are certain aspects which are common to both, such as the Notice to Move (NTM) time required to perform the tasks. The actual time required to prepare and complete the tasks are different but the NTM of the tp or sect has to be taken into account in the planning figures. 2. Planning Figures. The data for planning figures has been compiled from the Army Decontamination Study and exercises. Timings will depend on the category of task being undertaken. In both cases tanks, trucks and landrovers have been used as the unit of measurement. A decon system comprises 1 x with water tank and 2 pumps. Further planning as follows: a. Operational Decon (set up = 10 mins). Veh Type (a) Challenger 4 Ton Truck Landrover b. Timings (d) 12 mins 7 mins 5 mins

(2) To achieve best results arty fire is massed on to worthwhile tgts and a min of 3 btys used to engage effectively. b. Reach. Tubed arty firing conventional munitions can reach out some 15 km beyond any FLOT. This is because gun lines are to the rear of fwd tps and not all ammo comes with top charges to achieve max ranges. Extended range bomblet shells will reach out some 20 km. c. Ser (a)

MLRS. (1) Ammo. Each launcher is loaded with 2 Rkt Pod Containers, (RPCs) each containing 6 rkts, a total of 12 rkts per launcher. The standard fire msn is 2 x RPCs (12 rkts), although it is poss to fire any no of rkts per msn up to this no. (a) Bomblet. Each M77 bomblet warhead contains 644 bomblets, a total of 7,728 bomblets per launcher per standard msn. (b) SCATMIN. Each SCATMIN warhead contains 28 mines, a total of 336 mines per launcher per standard msn. (2) Range. a. b. (3) Bomblet. Max 32 km. Min 11.5 km. Planning 25 km. SCATMIN. Max 39 km. Min 11.5 km. Planning 30 km.
Trg Eff. (a) Bomblet. 12 rkts will neutralise an area of approx 500 x 500 m. Each bomblet has a shaped charge capable of penetrating 66 mm of RHA. The splinter eff from each bomblet is lethal to approx 5 m and causes injury out to 20-30 m. It is not particularly eff against dug in inf. A 5% bomblet dud rate is predicted. (b) SCATMIN. Each mine is a scratch antenna belly attack mine which will penetrate all known belly armr. The standard planned mine barrier is 1000 x 1000 m. Unless otherwise ordered arty planners will calculate wts of fire to produce a density of 0.6 mines per m of barrier. Typical rounds of fire for eff to achieve a standard barrier are range dependent as fol: (i) (ii) (iii) 10 to 15 km 24 rkts (2 launchers). 15 to 30 km 36 rkts (3 launchers). 30 to 35 km 48 rkts (4 launchers).
(4) Load Options. Unless otherwise ordered MLRS is always loaded with bomblet ammo. If SCATMIN is required it has to be planned and ordered in adv. There is a min 4 hr lead time from SCATMIN being ordered to the msn being fired. Generally a min of 2 launchers is required to lay an eff mine barrier. (5) SCATMIN Self Destruct. Mines are fitted with an anti-handling device and can be programmed prior to launch with a self-destruct code of 3, 6, 12,

SERIAL 21 ARTY PLANNING DATA General Points 1. Aim. The aim of fire planning is to produce a tac plan for the use of the wpns of a unit or fmn so that their fire will be coord. 2. Gen. In any op the comd is responsible for all aspects of the tac plan, incl the fire plan. Arty comds interpret the comds requirements and integrate all OS, incl guns, RL, mor, AH, CAS and EW assets, as well as direct fire wpns organic to the unit or fmn, into the plan. They are also responsible for the detailed planning, distr and implementation of the fire plan. 3. Offensive Fire Plans. Fire plans in sp of offensive ops, and the transitional phases associated with them, will be either hasty or deliberate depending on the nature of the op, the time aval and the op level. a. Hasty Fire Plans. A hasty fire plan may be very simple, involving only 1 or 2 btys, or more complex involving many more OS assets. They are typically used at BG level and below where they are designed to provide conc firepower to assist the unit win the fire fight and to allow the unit to manoeuvre to asslt the en. Fire is massed onto the objs to neutralise and fix the en and to prevent rft by fire or manoeuvre. Non lethal fire may be used to mark or illum tgts, or to blind the en or to screen friendly mov. A hasty fire plan, as a guide, would consist of 3 or 4 guaranteed (adjusted) tgts, and 2 or 3 predicted tgts, and would take approx 45 min to prep and circulate. This time may be reduced by the use of lasers and Warrior OPV. Typically 4 btys and, if aval, a mor pl would be alloc to a BG on the bde. ME. b. Deliberate Fire Plans. A deliberate fire plan will typically be originated at bde or higher level and will coord the fire of several arty regts along with OAS, AH and EW. It may also provide sp for a deception plan and be used to coord fire sp to the deep, close and rear battles. An offensive fire plan at bde level would be coord at 3 levels as fol: (1) Div. Div arty ops alloc guns, MLRS, CAS, AH and EW to attack tgts beyond the Direct Fire Wpn Line (DFWL). (2) Bde. The bde FSCC alloc all aval guns, MLRS, CAS, AH and EW to attack tgts in depth up to the DFWL. (3) BG. BG FPCs alloc guns, and use mors and other OS assets when aval, to mass fire onto BG objs and to prevent en wdr, rft or c attack. The need to mass hy wts of fire may prevent concurrent bde attacks. 4. Defensive Fire (DF) Plans. a. Gen. DF plans are used at all levels to coord all forms of OS into def ops or those phases associated with them. DF plans are likely to consist of a series of tgts on call. In def ops, the timings and sequence of engagement of tgts cannot usually 3 - 21 - 1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ DRA
be pre-determined because the en has the initiative, neither can the no of tgts to be engaged simultaneously be known. Similarly, it can be difficult for the comd to decide upon his ME until en intentions become clear. DF plans should therefore be prep in detail at BG level during the planning stage, whilst the alloc of arty to each tgt must be left until later. Comds must ensure that Named Areas of Interest (NAIs) and Target Areas of Interest (TAIs), as shown on the Decision Support Overlay (DSO), are covered in the fire plan and that OS assets are capable of massing fire on them. Arty must be fully integrated within the comds overall def plan, with the aim of canalizing the en and breaking up his attack during the approach, whilst forming up and during the asslt. DF plans should therefore be carefully coord with the obs plan. The conc use of arty will be fundamental to achieving the comds ME. b. BG Def. The no of DF tgts for the def of a BG posn will be dictated by the BG comds plan. As a guide up to 20 DFs can be stored and kept fully updated. The response to calls for fire will depend on the bde ME and the tasking of guns and other OS assets. Where the BG has a gun gp rft its arty tac gp the response time would be less than 2 min. An FPF or Pri DF (PDF), where alloc, can be fired upon within 30 secs plus the time of flight. (1) FPF. A no of DF tgts may be selected as FPF tasks. The no of FPFs will depend on the no of fire units (gun btys and mor pls) rft the BG arty tac gp. The norm is one FPF per fire unit. Deciding the FPFs is the task of the manoeuvre arm comd. An FPF is usually sited on the most likely en approach, to the rear of the DFWL and normally no more than 300 m in front of the posn. Because arty fights the initial def battle in depth FPFs are not usually implemented, or engaged, until the final def battle commences. At this stage guns and mors are always loaded, and laid on the FPF when not otherwise engaged. In high intensity conflict there may be only 1 FPF per BG, or even 1 per bde. (2) PDF. A no of deep DF tgts may be selected as PDFs. The no aval will depend on the same factors affecting FPFs. A PDF is usually sited on the most likely en approach at the pt where the en will first be detected by day and by ni. It is the pt where the comd first wishes to engage the en and must therefore be incorporated into the STAP. In the early stages of def ops fire units alloc to a PDF are always loaded, and laid on the PDF when not otherwise engaged. Where a fire unit has been alloc a PDF and an FPF task, the PDF task will take pri unless otherwise ordered by the comd. 5. The Fire Planning Process. a. info: Info Required.

A table showing the wts of indirect fire required to achieve either neutralisation, or destruction, of various types and sizes of tgt is shown overleaf. The wts of fire are based on observer adjusted or laser predicted fire using AS90 or Lt Gun at 2/3 max range and with a CEP of 50 m. Fd Arty Tac Tasks 7. Reinforcing. Reinforcing is a tac task in which one arty unit augments the fire of another arty unit. NATO doctrine dictates that an arty unit can reinforce only another arty unit (including arty tac groups) and not an all arms fmn. This relationship is a guarantee of fire to the arty unit so reinforced. It is likely to be accompanied by caveats on time and/or ammo expenditure. 8. General Support (GS). GS is that sp which is given to the supported force as a whole and not to any particular sub-div of it. It is often used to refer to arty which is being 3 - 21 - 3 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ DRA
used to influence the corps or div battle and is not generally available for the sp of subordinate fmns. MLRS in the div GS group, tasked with fighting the div deep battle, is an example of such a tactical task. There is no guarantee of fire in sp of any other unit or fmn. General Support Reinforcing (GSR) 9. GSR arty supports the force as a whole and, on a secondary basis, provides reinforcing fire for another arty unit. Thus, an arty FU, given a tac task of GSR the arty of another unit or fmn, cannot provide a guarantee of fire to it. It will respond to the other unit or fmns requirements only if its own Arty Comd has no higher priority task for it at the time. Like Reinforcing, the relationship is likely to be accompanied by a time and/or ammo expenditure caveat. 10. Direct Support (DS). The NATO definition of DS is: The sp provided by a unit or fmn not att or under comd/con of the supported unit or fmn, but required to give a pri to the sp required by that unit or fmn. This has a wider meaning. It implies the provision of the following to the directly supported fmn or unit. a. A guarantee of fire.
b. Observers, comms, liaison and advice. This includes responsibility for fire planning and the coord of all offensive sp at every level of comd from subunit upwards. 11. UK Tasking for DS. In general war, this tasking is likely to be used rarely by UK fmns. Generally the provision of comms, liaison and advice to bdes and units is achieved by placing their affiliated arty tac groups OPCOM or OPCON to them, on a semipermanenat basis. 12. NATO Tac Task Responsibilities. Within NATO, the tac tasks imply a number of responsibilities which are not apparent from the definitions. These are summarised in the table below. To ensure commonality of interpretation with allies, the responsibilities are outlined exactly as specified in STANAG 2934/A-Arty P-1 but with notes on the UK implementation. The specified responsibilities, for instance, include those for mov and deployment. In each case, however, this may be as ordered by the Force Arty HQ. This is always the case in UK fmns. Authority for mov and deployment is specified in the comd/con relationships applicable to the arty units concerned. In UK no specific implications with regard to these functions of comd should, therefore, be assumed from the tac tasks.

Minelaying. a. Terminology. Protective minefds are laid by all arms. Tac (Lt, Med or Hy), nuisance and phoney minefds are laid by engrs. b. Minefd Design. Minefd design is based on lying a no of mine rows each containing only one type of atk mine and fuze. Rows may be of any length and may change dir to confuse an en. Engrs can design a minefd to meet a specific threat (eg. plough, roller, blast clearance etc) by combining rows of differently fuzed mines (eg double impulse (DI), FWAM(M), FWAM(E) (Full Width Attack Mines Mechanical or Electrical). Trg designs contain the fol no of rows: Ser (a) 1. 2. 3. 4. Tac (Lt) Tac (Med) Tac (Hy) Type of Minefd (b) Protective No of rows (c) 3 3 5 7
c. Dimensions. Minefds are normally laid so that depth from front to back is 800-1000m. This makes breaching difficult as ploughing time and explosive hose lengths are increased. However the depth should be determined by the ground and the comds plan for covering fire. A depth of less than 300m is not desirable for technical reasons. The absence of A Pers mines makes consideration of cover by fire of minefds more important. d. Ser (a) 1. 2. 3. Task (b) Lay 1 km Lt minefd Lay 1 km Med minefd Time and Resources.

Expected duration of deployment and op. Quantity of ammo required in theatre. Quantity of material required in theatre. Predicted cas rates as a % of units estab in terms of pers and eqpt.
e. External factors such as LofC, climate and terrain which influence CSS requirements. f. Guidance on anticipated Battlefield Day (Km per veh) for A and B vehs.
2. Fuel Consumption Units (FCU). Are calculated for individual vehs, eqpt and for heating and cooking based on unit strength. It is not a daily consumption rate. One FCU for an armd div has been estimated as 780 m3. The fol factors are considered: a. Vehs. The veh FCU is the no of ltrs required for an average loaded veh to travel 100 kms on dry level roads. b. Eqpt. Ltrs of fuel required for 12 hrs running at 70% load.
c. 1st Line Holdings. Units should hold 5 FCU. This is broken down into 3 x FCU in veh tanks, 2 x FCU held in UBREs and 1 x FCU as packed fuel. This is only a rough estimation and will vary from unit to unit. d. 2nd Line Holdings. 3 x FCU should be held at 2nd line. 1 x FCU in bulk on wheels, and 2 x FCU as packed fuel in the DSG. e. 3rd Line Holdings. A total of 37 FCU at 3rd line. 6 x FCU in BFIs, and 3rd line vehs. 31 x FCU on rail and ships. f. Oil and Lubricants. Units should hold 5 days at war rates for WMR.
3. Combat Supplies Liabilities. The fol table shows an armd divs liability for CSUPs, based on SPG for ammunition natures, and FCU for fuel. All ammo natures are accounted for in pallets, and fuel in ltrs. a. 1st Line Holdings. At unit level there should be 5 days of supply held on wheels, this includes F Ech. It should be noted that not all arty natures can be held at 1st line in these quantities. b. 2nd Line Holdings. At 2nd line there should be 3 days of supply (1 day held on wheels, and 2 days dumped in the DSA). 3 - 36 - 1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ RLC

SERIAL 37 TPT PLANNING DATA 1. Pallets. A standard pallet load is the load that can be carried either on a standard NATO pallet or in a Unit Load Container (ULC). The max dimensions of a standard load are: base 1088 m x 1300 mm, max height 1570 mm, max laden wt 1814 kg. 2. Veh Load Capacities. Veh carrying capacities are: 1 t LR = 1 standard pallet (broken down). 4 t truck = 4 standard pallets. 8 t truck = 6 standard pallets. 10 t truck = 8 standard pallets. 14 t truck = 10 standard pallets. 16 t truck = 12 standard pallets. DROPS (MMLC/IMMLC) = 10 standard pallets or 4 MLRS pods. DROPS trailer = 4 MLRS pods. Tk Tptr = 24 standard pallets. The capacities given represent wartime loading limits and if standard pallets are used peacetime wt limits are exceeded. This is rarely a difficulty on ops since lighter commodities can usually be loaded on 4t/5t vehs within the overall plan to make best use of payload and space aval. In peace there is a statutory requirement to observe the correct load restraint criteria (Dvr Trg (All Arms)) Vol 1 Pamph 5 (Army Code 71345(5)).

Notes: 1. Where arty ammo is described as a Round (Rd, all components necessary to fire the wpn are carried on the pallet. Where Shell and Charges Propelling (CHGE PROP) are palletised separately they must be supported by primers. 2. Where Shell are described as Plugged (PLGD) they must be supported by fuzes. 3. Primers and Fuzes are essential to the operation of the weapon, however their weight and volume is insignificant and is usually ignored for planning purposes. 4. The unit of issue for MLRS Ammunition is the Rocket Pod Container (RPC) which contains 6 rockets. 5. The number of pallets per vehicle ignores peacetime weight limits. If Crane Atlas Lorry Mounted (CALM) is fitted these figures will be reduced. 4. Table 2 Guided Weapons

9. FCU figures relate to the total fuel requirement. In practice this would be broken down by type by the Log Sp Staff. One FCU represents the fuel required to move the unit or fmn 100 km on flat roads in temperate weather plus an amount for domestic use. The Avn Regt figure includes avn fuel for 5 hrs flying. Applied values are obtained by multiplying by the relevant factors: a. Combat Factors. (1) (2) (3) (4) b. Attack Delay/Wdr Def Non tac mov 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0

Dumping Calculations. a. A dumping problem is normally concerned with the solution of one of the fol questions: (1) How long will it take to dump a quantity of stores with a given no of vehs? (2) How many vehs will be required to dump a qty of stores within a given time? b. There are 2 recognized ways of answering these questions: (1) By Formula. This is suitable when large tonnages and many vehs are involved and when accuracy is less important than speed of calculation, such as for the stocking of a CSA. The formula depends on averaging out the factors which affect the turnround of vehs:
No of vehs x round trips possible in aval time or No of vehs (V) x Total time aval (T) = Time for one round trip (t) = L ................ (1) Total no of veh loads (L) = Total no of veh loads moved
ie V x T t
Now time for round trip (t) = Km (round trip (K) + delay for loading and unloading (D) Av speed (S) ie t = K + D .................. (2) S Combining Equations (1) and (2): V + T = L (K + D) therefore V = L (K + D) or T = L (K + D) (S ) T (S ) V (S ) A safety factor of 10% is added to the answer obtained by this formula.
(2) From First Principles. This is the only method likely to give a sufficiently accurate answer for dumping problems at div level. This method depends on examining in detail how long each journey will take and then tracing the mov of each colm or packet of vehs, or individual veh. The timings, stage by stage, are then noted down or recorded pictorially on a simple graph. Many different types of graph can be used and experts usually design their own. 4. Completion of a Dumping Programme. If second line tpt is used for dumping, the programme is not complete until the vehs have been reloaded with their normal loads. The fol example may be useful.

(3) Answer: Four loads per veh can be del at B within the 36 hrs aval. Therefore, 100 = 25 x 8 t vehs will be required. 4 Note: This calculation demonstrates the inaccuracy of the formula method. The larger the programme, the smaller the error. The formula method should not normally be used for div dumping programmes except as a rough check. 3 - 39 - 4 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ RLC

Reach and Deployment Times of Div Secure Systems 5. As a guideline only, the UK divisions communications can cover an area approximately 200km x 90km, dependant in particular upon the scale of deployment of PTARMIGAN assets. The increasing use of satellite communications assets (SATCOM) has resulted in the use of PTARMIGAN Islands, geographic areas in which PTARMIGAN assets are deployed, being linked by SATCOM. The EUROMUX Trunk Communications system is also sometimes used in conjunction with or in lieu of PTARMIGAN. 6. Trunk Deployment Times (Planning Guidelines)
To establish full div system (6 x Trunk Nodes + 12 SCRA(C)) will take approximately the time it takes to move the distance to the operational area plus 12 hours. On average, basic communications links can take approximately 20 min per link to establish, after which the full system has to be engineered. An average redeployment of 50 km could take between 8-9 hours. 7. Secure RRB Deployment (Planning Guidelines)
To establish div secure net (assuming 4 x RRB deployed) will take the time it takes to move to the area of operations plus 90 min. 8. Facsimile Transmission over PTARMIGAN Time to fax 1 sheet A4 paper takes approximately 1 min.
Warning Time Required by Comms Staffs 9. In order to provide communications to a HQ or in a specified area the communication detachment or unit used must complete the following in an orderly manner: a. b. c. d. e. Planning. Reconnaissance. Transfer existing communication load. Pack up, move and re-establish. Establish communication links according to the communication plan.
10. Early involvement of the Comms staff pays dividends. Experience has shown that the following are the absolute minimum notice times that should be given to the Comms staff. Communications may be available earlier if the requisite assets are already suitably located and available: 4-3-2 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority HQ R SIGNALS

SERIAL 12 EW PLANNING Definitions and Abbreviations 1. The British Army has adopted the NATO definitions for EW which cover sea, land and air operations, but has amplified them to illustrate the part that EW plays in land operations. NATO and British Army definitions are given below. NATO Definitions (See also: AAP-6) 2. Electronic Warfare Support Measures (ESM). ESM is that division of EW involving action taken to search for, intercept, identify and locate radiated electromagnetic energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition. It provides a source of information required for immediate decisions involving electronic counter measures (ECM), electronic protective measures (EPM) and other tactical actions such as avoidance, targeting and homing. 3. Electronic Warfare Countermeasures (ECM). ECM is that division of EW involving actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemys effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum (ie active EW measures in British terminology). 4. Electronic Protective Measures (EPM). EPM is that division of EW involving actions taken to ensure friendly effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum despite the enemys use of electromagnetic energy. There are two subdivisions of EPM: a. Active EPM. Detectable measures, such as altering transmitter parameters as necessary, to ensure friendly effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum. b. Passive EPM. Undetectable measures, such as operating procedures and technical features of equipment, which are meant to ensure friendly effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum. 5. Communications Intelligence (COMINT). COMINT is defined as technical material and intelligence information derived from electromagnetic communications and communications systems (eg morse, voice, teleprinter, facsimile) by other than intended recipients. 6. Electronic Intelligence (ELINT). ELINT is defined as technical material and intelligence information derived from electromagnetic non-communications transmissions (eg radar, navigation aids, jamming transmission) by other than intended recipients. 7. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). SIGINT is the generic term used to describe COMINT and ELINT when there is no requirement to differentiate between these two types of intelligence, or to represent fusion of the two.
4 - 12 - 1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99
8. Emission Control (EMCON). EMCON is the selective control of emitted electromagnetic or acoustic energy. The aim may be twofold: a. To minimize the enemys detection of emissions and exploitation of the information so gained. b. To reduce electromagnetic interference thereby improving friendly sensor performance. UK Definitions (See also JWP 0.01.1) 9. Tactical SIGINT. Tactical SIGINT is the process of intercept, analysis and collation of enemy electronic emissions by tactical EW units to provide combat intelligence for a tactical commander. This term must not be confused with Strategic SIGINT. 10. Offensive EW. Offensive EW is concerned with exploiting, degrading and preventing the enemys use of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is divided into passive (ESM) and active (ECM) measures. 11. Passive EW Measures. Passive EW measures are those measures taken to exploit the enemys use of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to gain combat intelligence (from the tactical SIGINT product) for the tactical commander. 12. Active EW Measures. Active EW measures are those measures by which the enemys use of the electromagnetic spectrum can be degraded or denied by jamming or electronic deception techniques. 13. Defensive EW. Defensive EW is aimed at retaining our own ability to use the electromagnetic spectrum and includes tactical, procedural and technical measures to counter the enemy EW threat. 14. Electronic Jamming. Electronic jamming is the deliberate radiation, re-radiation, or reflection of electromagnetic energy with the object of impairing the use of electronic devices, equipment or systems being used by an enemy. 15. Electronic Deception. Electronic deception is the deliberate radiation, re-radiation, alteration, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic energy in a manner intended to mislead an enemy in the interpretation or use of information received by his electronic systems. 16. Manipulative Electronic Deception. Manipulative electronic deception is the simulation or alteration of friendly electromagnetic radiation to accomplish deception (eg false radio nets). 17. Imitative Electronic Deception. Imitative electronic deception is the introduction of electromagnetic radiation into enemy channels which imitate his own emissions (eg breaking into enemy nets).
4 - 12 - 2 Issue 1.0: Jul 99
18. Radio Silence. A period during which all/certain radio equipment capable of radiation is kept inoperative. 19. Electronic Silence. The deliberate prohibition of electronic radiation, normally applied for a stated period to specific equipments or frequency bands. (This would include radio links for sound ranging, radars, active infrared, navigation beacons, lasers etc.)

SERIAL 1 INTRODUCTION TO OP STAFF DUTIES Reference: A. JSP 101 (Revised 1991) Part IV
1. General Points. Most documents, other than signal messages, that demand the conventions of operational writing conform to the general layout described in Ref A. The main rule is that in operational writing the maximum use is to be made of abbreviations and the text is to be written in note form to save time and space, remembering always that the meaning remains clear. Paragraph headings can form part of the opening of a sentence, eg: Ammo. Issued 1300 hrs. 2. Minor Rules. The following minor rules apply: a. Exercise Protective Markings. In exercise protective markings the word EXERCISE is always to be abbreviated to EX;, eg: EX SECRET. b. Proper Nouns. Proper noun are written in capital letters, eg: CAMBERLEY, River TONE. c. Composite Nouns. Any composite noun, or one containing a prefix or suffix is to be abbreviated by abbreviating that part of it for which there is an authorised abbreviation, eg: mob (mobilisation), demob (demobilisation). d. Abbreviations. Only those abbreviations included in Part 6 can be used without an introduction. Where unofficial abbreviations are to be used they are to be introduced into the order correctly. Some abbreviations indicate both the singular and plural. If the addition of an s is necessary it is always placed at the end of the abbreviation eg: CinCs (Commanders in Chief). An s may be added only to the abbreviation of a noun; it is never to be added to the abbreviation of a verb, eg follows should be abbreviated to fol. e. Times. Times are to be expressed using the 24 hour clock and the time zone suffix, unless an expedient such as: Time Zone Used Throughout the Order: BRAVO. Is inserted in this format one clear line below the references, starting at the left tab. f. Description of Attachments/Detachments. Units which have elements detached are to be described using the convention illustrated below. The quantity of units/sub-units is always written in full eg: 2 Inf Bde (less two bns) 1 R IRISH (less one coy) g. Reported Speech. Reported speech is written as spoken without abbreviations and indented in single inverted commas. For example: 5-1-1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority JSCSC
We captured 3 offrs and 2 NCOs. They revealed en morale to be very poor. One of the NCOs said: We have had no food supplied since 3 oclock on Thursday of last week and we were promised that large stocks would be captured on the objective. 3. Ground Location, Areas and Boundaries. The following points should be noted: a. Cardinal Points. The 4 cardinal points of the compass are written in full, eg south. For intermediate points the letters N, S, E and W are used, eg NE, SSW. Points of the compass should always be considered in clockwise order from north. b. Names of Places and Features. The names of places and features are spelt exactly as on the map in use, except that the word River, written in full, is to precede the names of all rivers regardless of the language in which this word appears on the map. The grid reference is to be given the first time the name of the place or feature occurs. It should be shown as a bigram map code followed by the grid reference number, eg: CN 493246. c. Roads, Tracks and Railways. Roads, tracks and railways are described by the names of places located on them. The word road, track or railway is to precede the place names, eg railway Winchester-Basingstoke. d. River Banks. River banks are described as right or left from the point of view of an observer facing downstream or, if this cannot be done, by suing cardinal points. Near and far may be used with reference to friendly forces involved in river crossing operations. e. Canals. The names of a canal, or names of places on it, are used to describe a canal. The banks are usually described by means of the cardinal points, eg: the north bank of the Kiel Canal. f. Routes. When movement is involved, a route is described by a sequence of points on the route named, in the direction of movement. When no movement is involved, the sequence of points named is to be from left to right or rear to front, assuming that the person designating the route is facing the enemy. Cardinal points may be added if required. g. Areas. An area is described by taking the northernmost point first and giving the remaining points in clockwise order. h. Ground/Positions. Ground and positions are described from left to right and front to rear facing the enemy. To avoid confusion, cardinal points may be used to describe flanks, rather than left or right. i. Boundaries. Boundaries are designated by easily distinguishable features on the ground in the sequence in which they occur. They are to be described from rear to front during an advance and from front to rear in defence and withdrawal. If generally parallel to the front, eg rear boundaries, they are to be described from left 5-1-2 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority JSCSC
to right facing the enemy. Cardinal points may be added if required. When describing boundaries between units and formations, the words inclusive or exclusive are used before the place to which they refer. The description of a boundary must state specifically to which unit or formation an area or a point is inclusive or exclusive. j. Directions. A direction may be indicated in one of 3 ways: (1) (2) (3) By use of 2 locations or places, eg direction Hannover-Dortmund. As a point of the compass, eg north, SE. Using a compass bearing, eg 5600 mils.
4. Time. Time is specified using the 24 hour clock. The first pair of digits define the hour and the second pair the minutes past the hour, eg: 1147 is 47 minutes past 11 oclock in the morning. The following rules should be noted: a. Quoting the Time. The time can be followed by a time zone suffix or the word hours if confusion with other figures is possible, eg: 1432 or 1432 hrs. b. Midnight. The word midnight is not to be used. The time 0000 hours defines the time and the date defines the day, eg: It is common practice to use either 2359 hours or 0001 hours to avoid confusion. The term 2400 hrs is never to be used as a time of day. c. Date Time Groups. Date time groups are a method of showing in signal messages or operation orders. An example: 031404AJUL97 3 July 1997, 1404 hours, Time Zone ALPHA. 5. Phonetic Alphabet. The time zone suffix letter is not an abbreviation. Where there is a possibility of error or ambiguity, or where the rules require it, the time zone suffix is to be spelt out using the spellings of the phonetic alphabet given below: A B C D E F ALFA BRAVO CHARLIE DELTA ECHO FOXTROT G H I J K GOLF HOTEL INDIA JULIET KILO L M N O P LIMA MIKE NOVEMBER OSCAR PAPA Q R S T U QUEBEC ROMEO SIERRA TANGO UNIFORM V W X Y Z VICTOR WHISKEY XRAY YANKEE ZULU

SERIAL 2 MAP SYMBOLS 1. This Serial reflects the increased emphasis on symbology and graphical display in op SD and the introduction of automated display systems. It is intended as a ready ref to supplement APP-6. Where there is a conflict, APP-6 is the auth. New map symbols are now being finalised within NATO and when these are ratified during 1999, NATO nations will have about 12 months to readjust publications and train for the introduction of these new symbols. 2. The majority of symbols are straightforward but confusion can arise over sub units: should their role indicator reflect their parent units role or their own specialist task? The fol examples illustrate this: A B
a. Mor pl of an inf bn.
MOR
MOR
b. 233 Loc Bty of 23 Regt. 233 LOC 23 233 23
3. Both examples are correct as they show the size and role of the sub unit. There is a limit to the fine detail that can be reproduced at sub-unit level so the fol gen rule applies: Symbols of maj units, indep sub-units and spec role sub-units (for example loc bty, amph engr sqn) will show spec roles. The roles of spec pls and below should be shown in text. The map symbol should show the role of the parent unit.

The concept gives subordinate commanders a better idea of what they must achieve to achieve the comds aim. This ensures they are more likely to act/react quickly, eff and in harmony with the comds intent if, and when, the sit changes. Gen factors governing comds plan, brief account of poss changes if original assumptions invalid and forecast of way comd sees battle developing may be incl in concept during OOs but not in opO. 16.

Arty. a. Task Org will give comd relationships, ie OPCON, TACON etc and may also show tac tasking, ie Rft, Gen Sp Rft etc. It is assumed here that tac gps are OPCON their affiliated bdes. Note that tac tasking is between arty orgs only, eg 26 Regt Gun Gp is rft 3 RHA Tac Gp, not 4 Armd Bde. Initial tac tasking reflects Div ME. Tac tasking relationships can be stated as shown in OpO but may be omitted if sufficiently clear from the Task Org. Subsequent tac tasking will have been considered, but has been omitted for clarity. b. This example assumes sufficiently favourable force ratios to allow 2 simultaneous bde ops by 4 and 7 Bdes, with 7 Bde sp by just a single gun gp. Force ratios may more typically dictate sequential bde ops in order to conc all aval div arty sp. c. Any convenient and logical sequence can be used for this para.

31. Authentication. If neither comd or COS are aval to sign the opO at the time of issue, comds name is typed and a SO authenticates order, comd or COS signing original/file copy of opO at earliest opportunity. In this case neither comd nor COS were aval so opO has been authenticated and comd would sign file copy on return. Had the COS been aval, no authentication would be nec, and he would sign for comd using his own signature block. 32. Annexes. Annexes are lettered alphabetically in capitals, A, B, C etc and may have one or more appx numbered in arabic numerals. Annexes must be referred to in appropriate part of main body of opO. (see also Note 35). 33. Distr. The distr is to show copy nos of order issued to each addressee. Where annexes are issued on a different scale from main body of order, a separate distr list will be required as part of each annex so issued. a. The list is set out in normal sequence external action addressees, external info addressees, internal action addressees, internal info addressees.

Copies for sp arms and svcs are addressed to that arm or svc, eg Comms, when a sp arm adviser, head of svc or svc rep is organic, or permanently att to originating HQ. If no such rep exists copies are addressed to appropriate arm or svc units. Senior comd or rep of each sp arm/svc is responsible for distr to all elms of his arm/svc as nec. Notes on Example. a. Nos of Copies. Sufficient copies should be given to avoid unnec repro by subordinate HQs, eg bdes, Arty, Engr and Comms have 2 copies each (one for Step Up). Bdes, Arty and Engr will produce opOs of their own and there is little pt in giving them copies for each unit. Some addressees may need extra copies of particular annexes, eg Mov Table for Pro. Nevertheless, distr of whole order, and of individual annexes, should be kept to a sensible min, eg all addressees would not need Annexes D and E (but see Note 34c). b. PCS. Although rep at Div HQ, PCS will receive detail they need from G1/G4 staff and do not need full opO.

This para is concerned solely with the various degrees of admin comd, which are: (a) UCADMIN. Complete transfer of admin comd; when a fmn or unit is placed under comd of another fmn for admin, ie all svcs, med and pers matters. In this instance the fmn/units parent fmn HQ has no residual admin responsibility. (b) UCADMIN Less. When the temporary nature of the transfer makes it unnec to eff a complete change of admin comd, a fmn or unit may be placed under comd for certain specified matters, or UCADMIN less certain specified matters, eg UCADMIN less sup and routine G1 matters from 191000 Jan. (NB Less sup does not affect sup responsibility for daily maint as defined below.) (c) UCDM. When a fmn or unit is transferred for so short a time that it is placed under admin comd of the new fmn for daily maint only, its parent fmn HQ retains full responsibility for all other admin matters. (Units det to another fmn assumed to be UCDM their new fmn unless otherwise stated). (1) Scope. Only atts and dets to and from the fmn initiating the CSSO incl and not changes within it. (2) Log Task Org. It is not nec to show atts and dets here if they are covered under Log Task Org (see Para 3a and Note 12), but they may be incl if this is considered to help the clarity of the order. (3) Abbreviations. Under comd for daily maint (UCDM). Atts and Dets.
(4) Comd Responsibility. The state of comd, both op comd and admin comd, must be shown for log units but only admin comd status will usually be nec for other non log units. These log units are listed in the precedence of their state of op comd and, within these categories, by their state of admin comd. State of op comd takes precedence over state of admin comd eg: OPCOM and UCDM, OPCON and UCADMIN, TACON and UCDM. (5) Residual Responsibility for Dets. The op/admin states shown for dets is the status passed to another unit/fmn. The residual responsibility remains with the parent fmn; eg had 110 Sqn RLC(V) been OPCOM and UCADMIN 1(UK) Div, the det of one tp to TACON and UCDM ARRC would still leave 1(UK) Div responsible for all admin matters less daily maint of that det tp.

PROTECTIVE MARKING 2. MISSION (11) To maint 1 (UK) Armd Div during the op to seize and hold a brhd over River DUCKHAM and secure LD for 3 (UK) Div. 3. GENERAL (12) a. Log Task Org. Annex A.
From an admin pt of view, it is gen better for units to be att or det for daily maint only, unless the time away from the parent fmn is likely to be considerable. (7) Definitions. Routine G1 matters are defined as all pers matters listed in Note 18 other than pro, straggler posts, PW and rfts. Daily Maint is defined as daily replen of C sups, evac of cas, provision of common user sup items and the rec and repair of eqpt. (8) Times of Change of State of Admin Comd. Times at which states are eff will not nec be the same as an opO and its related CSSO (eg, if the CSSO were produced significantly later than the opO, a unit which came under OPCOM forthwith in the opO might be remaining UCADMIN in the CSSO). Nor is it always desirable for admin comd to change at the same time as op comd. Ideally admin comd should change during quiet periods in the replen cycle and therefore as a principle ni would be a bad time. (9) OpO. Units may sometimes be mentioned in the Atts and Dets sub para of a CSSO, although they did not appear in the opO. This is because the sub para is concerned only with admin atts and dets, and responsibility for admin is not necessarily linked directly with op comd. b. Changes in Admin Comd. (1) It is not nec to show changes here if they are covered under Log Task Org, but they should be incl if this is considered to help the clarity of the order. (2) Only changes to existing admin arrangements at the level of the fmn initiating the CSSO are incl, eg in a div CSSO there is no need to mention the switching of a BG between bdes within the div, but a TA bn to the div changing from UCDM 1(UK) Div to UCADMIN 1(UK) Div would be.

It should include an admin/log Concept of Ops sub para which compares with the equivalent sub para in an opO and might incl such pts as: a. Overall log plan.

b. Copies for sp arms and svcs are addressed simply to that arm or svc, eg Comms, when a sp arms adviser, head of svc or svc rep is organic or permanently att to the originating HQ. If no such permanent rep exists copies are addressed to the appropriate arm or svc units. The senior comd or rep of each sp arm or svc is responsible for distr to all other elms of his arm or svc as nec. c. If no bde CSSO is to be issued, BGs are incl on the distr of the div CSSO If however a bde CSSO is to be issued the normal chain of comd applies, and units (except for those which are Div Tps) would be omitted from the distr list. 28. Explanatory Notes on Example. a. Nos of Copies. Sufficient copies should be given to avoid unnec repro by subordinate HQs, eg bdes and Comms have 2 copies each (one for Step Up) while Arty have enough to issue copies to regts under comd. Some addressees may also need extra copies of particular annexes: Log Sp, Med and ES will require addl copies for each sub unit. Nevertheless, distr of the whole order, and of individual annexes, should be kept to a sensible min. b. Pro. Pro at div level is DAPM.
c. PCS. PC tp is part of the GS Regt RLC and needs to know locs and task org. 29. Distr of Annexes. Annexes may have a different distr to the main CSSO. All such annexes would therefore need to fol the full form. 13 of 13 PROTECTIVE MARKING

SERIAL 6 NOTES ON OVERLAY ORDERS 1. Introduction. Overlay Os are the combination of written and graphic instrs on one trace containing enough info for a comd to carry out his specified tasks. 2. Gen. When producing an overlay opO it is axiomatic that the max amount of info should be rep graphically. The recipient of an order should be able to transpose trace onto his map and then fight from it. The temptation to produce too much info in order to gd against all untoward poss must be resisted. The fol only rep guidelines as production of an overlay opO ultimately entails subjective judgement by author. Overlays may be produced as clears, with or without a map background (taciprint) or on paper. 3. Gen Rules. a. The author must be free to put on overlay what he deems nec. The overlay should show the sit as comd intends/expects it to be when op is carried out rather than current sit. The difference between actual and projected disposns must be made clear. b. The order may be issued by any suitable method.
c. The written part of order must fol same sequence as formal written orders and can be produced in manuscript. d. The requirements of speed normally dictate that overlays are handwritten and in only one colour. With increased use of CIS, a combination of typewritten text and handwritten or computer-generated graphics may prove a useful altn, provided speed is not sacrificed. e. A logical way to proceed is to complete graphical overlay first. It is then easy to see what must be incl, in addition to mandatory sects, in written portion of order either because it has proved difficult to portray or it will cause too much clutter on overlay. 4. The Overlay. The completed overlay should be a distillation of all info aval to comd carrying out specific task. Those pts which cannot readily be transposed to graphics or which would obscure either map or trace detail should be written at side. Some particular pts to note are: a. Task Org. Shown diagrammatically anywhere on the overlay. changes except method should be used if poss. The No
b. En. Info may be given on overlay, on a separate overlay or by ref to other docs such as INTSUMs. Info which cannot be depicted should be written down. c. Friendly Forces. Info concerning friendly forces other than those covered by order, but which affects action of subordinate comds, can either be drawn on overlay or stated in the written portion.

d. e.
Msn. Originators msn must always be stated in writing. Colon. (1) A colon (:) indicates that detail relevant to subj is incl in graphics. This could mean addl info or repetition of detail given in text. (2) The colon should appear at the end of the para or sub para heading to indicate detail is incl in graphics; a colon would never appear here under normal SD rules. If colon appears at end of text it indicates introduction of list (see sub-para 3f (Engrs) from example).
f. Mandatory Text. The msn, concept of ops and subordinates msns must be incl in text. g. Subordinates Msns/Tasks. Subordinate fmns and units will always be listed whether or not info applicable to them is shown in writing or on the trace. h. Coord Instrs. Key timings and grid refs (eg loc of minefd gaps) should be listed if not immediately obvious or emphasised on overlay. i. Svc Sp. The svc sp org may be shown on a separate overlay or in a written annex. j. HQ. Instrs concerning locs and mov of HQ will usually be given on overlay.
k. Symbols. Symbols other than those given in STANAG 2019 may be used; where nec these should be explained in a legend. 5. Despatching The Order. Apart from using LOs, DRs or the PCS, a good means of despatch for overlay Os is fax. PTARMIGAN fax will accept and transmit traces in A4 width. These strips are normally cut into 1m lengths for ease of handling and are reassembled by the recipients. Whenever poss a matrix key should be drawn on the order to asst addressee to piece it together. The size of overlay is not in itself a limiting factor: eg, when producing an admin overlay much of associated op overlay can be retained, extended where nec and the log input can be patch and pasted onto original. (Fax will accept sellotape joins and pasted on sheets of paper!). 6. Summary. The aim of an overlay opO is to provide a quick set of simple orders outlining a comds concept of ops and msns for his subordinate comds. The shorter time from wng O to despatch more likely op is to be a success. Simplicity and speed will enhance sy. 7. Example. Example of overlay order is at Pages 6128-29. Note example is only shown on 2 pages for ease of repro in the SOHB. Spacing between lines has been compressed (as it would be for real) to reduce size.

SERIAL 8 NOTES ON COMPILING GRAPHICAL TASK ORGS 1. Conventions. a. There are few rules for graphical task orgs. The aim should be to produce a clear, logical and unambiguous picture of gps and their respective states of comd for an op or phase of an op. For clarity a separate full or abbreviated task org may be nec for each phase of an op when regp takes place. b. The system is best equated to double entry book keeping, where entries are made both in the credit and debit sects, in that changes to gp are shown in att and det colms. c. Regardless of the template you use, the fol info should be displayed in the colms: Level of comd in the title box at the head of each colm. Manoeuvre units op under a level of comd and state of comd of each individual unit in main sect of colm. Units det from a level of comd in (-) sect of colm. 2. Display. Task Org is displayed in colms. Each colm is headed by the symbol of a fmn or unit immediately subordinate to the originator (ie a div opO is in bde colms, a bde opO in regt, bn or BG colms). Tps alloc special tasks (res, rear area sy, gd, screen, etc) are usually listed under a colm headed Special Tasks. However where such a task is to be carried out by one of the manoeuvre units/fmns it may remain in the main body of the task org rather than move to Special Tasks colm.Tps organic to originator (div tps, bde tps) are listed under separate colm, Div Tps etc, but only changes to such tps need be shown. Blank colms may be left for regp of fmns or units. 3. States of Comd. See Part 6. Op comd takes precedence over admin comd. Within colms all unit symbols are gp in the order: FULL COMD OPCOM OPCON TACOM TACON UCADMIN UCADMIN less .... UCDM DS Gen Sp Rft Gen Sp Rft
Although opO task orgs usually only need to show op states of comd, both op and admin states should be shown if the admin state changes or if there is a need to clarify the sit, ie: OPCOM and UCADMIN OPCOM and UCADMIN less ... OPCON and UCADMIN less ... OPCON and UCDM TACON and UCDM 5-8-1 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority JSCSC
4.
Precedence. Precedence for listing in each state of comd is: Armr in order of unit precedence within each arm but note that in a bde task org, Inf the unit providing the BG HQ is shown as the first entry in the main sect of the colm, regardless of unit precedence. Arty Engr Comms Avn Log Med ES Pro
in order of size and, if of same size, in numerical order.
5. BG Field Indicator. When the level of comd in a colm is a BG, it is not nec to list all the sub units organic to that parent unit which are to remain gp with it. It is sufficient to repeat the regt or bn symbol with the addition of a minus sign to reflect any dets to another comd. Only the size indicator field on the colm title symbol will be capped to rep an all arms gp. 6. Dets. a. Where a symbol shows (-), the det is to be shown in the (-) sect at the bottom of each colm. This rule applies to tps organic to originator and to non organic tps who are then split up within the fmn they have come to sp. Non organic tps which arrive already depleted to sp the fmn should have their previous dets shown against the symbol in the main colm. b. When a fmn (eg bde) is det from its parent fmn (eg div) only the bde HQ and its own armd and inf units are det. If arty, engr or other units are also to be det this must be shown under Div Tps, unless they are themselves organic rather than affiliated. 7. Special Tasks. If a special task (bde gd, div res) is based on 2 or more sub units of equal size, the comd must be nominated by name or appt and shown in the colm. 8. Half Bars. Half bars are normally only used in relation to the Special Tasks colms to identify separate states of comd when there is more than one gp/task shown in a single colm. They fol the rules of para headings in non-op SD: once started they should continue to be used down to the next special task or level of comd which is then to be ident with a full bar. 9. 10. Date/Time Eff. The time at which the Task Org becomes eff must be specified. Arty. a. Arty organic to a fmn need not be shown under 'Fmn Tps' if alloc RFT or DS of a subordinate fmn or unit. 5-8-2 Issue 1.0: Jul 99 Authority JSCSC
b. Arty alloc to a fmn (eg div) from a higher fmn (eg corps) is shown as fmn tps (ie div tps). c. Calibres of arty units (155 mm, 105 mm) are to be shown in lieu of the type of eqpt (AS90, FH 70, Lt Gun etc). However MLRS and AD units should continue to be shown as MLRS, JAVELIN, RAPIER, HVM, etc. 11. LSD. LSDs are assumed to be deployed to their affiliated BG unless otherwise specified. 12. Notes. Max use should be made of the 'Notes' colm to reduce the notation required against symbols in the graphical colms.

It is assumed, however, that it is being issued as an annex to the main op O. This example is purely a location overlay. 2. The object of using an overlay is to simplify an order. It is often easier and quicker for the recipient to transfer info from an overlay onto a map than to search through a long list of tabulated info. 3. Heading. In the example given it is not poss to incl a time that the overlay is correct to or correct at. However, whenever poss this info should be incl. 4. Grid Refs. Most admin instls in the div area are so large that there is no need to give a grid ref. As always, however, the recipient of the O must be considered and it will normally be nec to incl some tabulated info, eg the loc of RVs may be given.

SERIAL 13 NOTES ON FRAGMENTARY ORDERS (FRAGO) 1. FRAGOs are an abbreviated form of opO. They may be used in 3 ways: a. To issue timely changes to existing orders. This is the most commonly used form of a FRAGO. To issue key sects of an order before the complete order has been produced. To provide specific instrs to comds who do not require the complete order.
b. c.
2. The std opO sequence and para headings are used. However, after the headings, parts of the order which are unchanged or not essential are omitted. In a FRAGO issued to amend existing orders it will be usual for the msn to remain unchanged but for the subordinates tasks to be amended to reflect new developments in the sit. If the sit has changed to the extent that the msn has changed the issue of a FRAGO would be inappropriate and a new opO should be issued. 3. Gen written FRAGOs should fol the normal conventions of op SD and the rules governing the production of opOs/overlay opOs. There are 2 exceptions: a. The superscription of a schematic FRAGO can fol any reasonable format (see example at Serial 14. The text of a FRAGO disseminated by sig should be in capitals throughout.
b.
4. FRAGOs can be issued in schematic rather than overlay form to allow the order to be produced in A4 size. This facilitates transmission by fax. Alternatively, electronic mail (E-Mail) may be used. 5. In the examples that fol distr lists have been cut short to save space.

SERIAL 16 CONFIRMATORY NOTES (CFN NOTES) 1. At BG level and above OpOs may be accompanied by the issue of cfm notes. These notes provide an aide memoire for those attending the O gp as well as valuable info to those not present. If cfm notes are to be used they should be issued before the O gp begins. If this is not poss those attending should bed told they will be issued later. 2. Content. Cfm notes are not a substitute for oral or written orders. There is no fixed content but the sequence should fol that of an opO as far as poss and should incl the 5 main para headings of formal orders. If there is no requirement to incl detail in any one para then the para heading should still be incl to ensure the para nos reflect the std para headings (see Para 1 SITUATION in the example that fols). The amount of detail incl will vary according to the comds wishes and time aval. However a poss pri for the incl of detail is: a. b. Comds msn and concept. Subordinates msns.
c. Key coord instrs (in particular timings and grid references), svc sp and comd and sig detail. 3. Production. Cfm notes can be produced either typed or in manuscript. Typing can be time consuming and at BG level photocopying neat manuscript may be preferable if time is short. However, IT will allow later amdts to be incl with far less fuss.

SERIAL 21 INTRO TO NATO (ARRC) STAFF DUTIES Types of Order 1. The main types of orders which will be used by fmns in the ARRC are Operation Orders (OPORD) and Logistic Orders (LOGORD), Warning Orders (WNGO), Fragmentary Orders (FRAGO) and Movement Orders (MOVO). a. OPORD. Directives that are usually formal and issued by the commander to subordinate commanders for the purpose of effecting the co-ordinated execution of an operation. OPORDs are the executive instruments that enact an OPLAN. The template used by the ARRC is at Serial 22. b. LOGORD. The LOGORD will be the means by which all logistic and service support orders are disseminated to subordinate formations and Corps Troops. Details of the format are contained in the ARRC Publication covering SOPs (TACSOP 6010). c. WNGO. Both an OPLAN/OPORD and a LOGSUPLAN/LOGORD may be preceded by a WNGO. A WNGO is designed to allow subordinate commanders to initiate preparations for a new operation. The format is not fixed but should adhere to the basic headings set down in Serial 23 and contain as much information as possible. The WNGO is also used during the planning process and will have set formats for different stages of the planning process. d. FRAGO. A FRAGO (an abbreviated form of an OPORD) will be issued when the Corps mission has not changed, but when adjustments are required to the current OPLAN. (This form of order eliminates the requirement to restate information contained in a previous OPORD). It may be issued as text or a sketch with accompanying text. It will normally be written and disseminated by G3 Ops. An example of the template used by HQ ARRC is at Serial 24. e. MOVO. LOGORD. A MOVO will be issued as an annex either to an OPORD or a
2. Electronic copies of the templates at Serials 22-24 are available on the Electronic Corps Information Database (ELCID) or through G3 Ops at HQ ARRC. Abbreviations 3. Only abbreviations that are approved by NATO should be used. If an author is in any doubt, the word should be written in full. Authority for Release 4. All OPORD will be signed by COMARRC, or in his absence COSARRC. All LOGORD will be signed by DCOS Sp. All FRAGOs will be released by DCOS Ops unless, in his opinion, they require higher level clearance, in which case they will be signed by COSARRC or COMARRC.

Dissemination 5. The primary means of disseminating orders will be signal message. Orders will also be transmitted by facsimile copying machine and sent by electronic mail. The following procedures apply: a. Hard Copy. Where documents classified NATO SECRET or higher arrive by signal message or facsimile copying machine they are to be annotated with the copy number before being distributed internally by a subordinate headquarters. If addressees require more copies they are to request them through G3 Ops, HQ ARRC. b. Electronic Copy. No electronic copies of the original are to be sent from subordinate headquarters without authority from G3 Ops, HQ ARRC. 6. Assigned divisions and Corps Troops are to submit copies of their key OPORDs and FRAGOs to HQ ARRC as early as possible. These have to be presented in Egnlish and follow the following guidelines: a. Written Orders. All written orders submitted electronically to HQ ARRC have to be compatible with the ARRC software as laid down in ARRC SOPs (TACSOP 1037). NATO formats are to be used. They should be classified and show the originator. b. Traces. The standard map used by HQ ARRC is the 1:100,000 map. Traces should always be marked with the classification; the details of the document to which they refer; at least three reference points for the map to which they refer; the scale of the map to which they refer; and be dated. 7. Related TACSOPs: The following TACSOPs may also be useful for staff planning: a. b. 1012 Operational and Contingency Planning. 1037 Information Systems.

CONCEPTS OF OPERATIONAL DESIGN Operational Objectives. These are the military goals that need to be achieved in a campaign to achieve the desired end-state. End-State. The end-state is that state of affairs which needs to be achieved at the end of the campaign JG In seeking to structure major operations, battles and engagements. In pursuit of the strategic objective, the operational level commander will design his plan of campaign around a number of building blocks, which help him visualize how the campaign will unfold.

Decisive points are those events, the successful outcome of which is a precondition to the successful elimination of the enemys centre of gravity. Lines of Operation. Lines of operation describe how military force is applied in time and space through decisive points on the path to the enemys centre of gravity. Sequencing. Sequencing is the arrangement of events within a campaign in the order most likely to achieve the elimination of the enemy' centre of gravity. Centre of Gravity. Characteristics, capabilities or localities from which a nation, an alliance, a military force or other grouping devices, its freedom of action, physical strength or will to fight. Manoeuvre. Manoeuvre is the employment of forces on the battlefield through movement in combination with fire, or fire potential, to achieve a position of advantage in respect to the enemy in order to accomplish the mission. Tempo. Tempo is the rate or rhythm of activity relative to the enemy within tactical engagements and battles and between major operations.

OFFENSIVE AIR OPERATIONS Tactical Air Reconnaissance (TAR). The collection of information of intelligence interest either by visual observation from the air or through the use of airborne sensors. Armed Reconnaissance. An air mission flown with the primary purpose of locating and attacking targets of opportunity, ie enemy materiel, personnel and facilities, in assigned general areas or along assigned ground communications routes, and not for the purpose of attacking specific briefed targets. Offensive Air Support (OAS). Close Air Support and Battlefield Air Interdiction which are conducted in direct support of land operations. Close Air Support (CAS). Air action against hostile targets which are in close proximity to friendly forces and which requires detailed integration of each air mission with the fire and movement of those forces. Battlefield Air Interdiction (BAI). Air action against hostile surface targets which are in a position to directly affect friendly forces and which requires joint planning and co-ordination.

Relationship between Close Air Support and Battlefield Air Interdiction. The basic difference between CAS and BAI lies in the proximity of targets to arrangements which are therefore needed. Both CAS and BAI are tasked in support of the land commander against targets directly threatening land operations. CAS missions require detailed control to integrate them with the fire and/or movement of friendly forces and must therefore be responsive to direction by the land force at all stages of execution. On the other hand BAI missions once requested by the land commander can be conducted entirely under air force direction, though fire co-ordination arrangements are necessary if the targets are short of the FSCL.

FRAMEWORK OF THE BATTLEFIELD Deep Operations. Deep operations expand the battlefield in time and space, making it difficult for the enemy to concentrate combat power without loss and thus diminish the coherence and tempo of his actions. ADP-1 Although the purpose of deep operations is often to find and fix the enemy, increasingly the range and lethality of modern weapons tied to accurate and responsive acquisition and communications systems, allow deep operations to contribute directly to striking the enemy. The purpose of close operations is primarily to strike the enemy in order to eliminate a discrete part of his combat power; the means range from destruction to arrest.
Close Operations. Operations conducted at short range in close contact and in the immediate timescale.

(d)
(e) The purpose of rear operations is to ensure freedom of action by protecting the force, sustaining combat operations and retaining freedom of manoeuvre of uncommitted forces.
AAP-6 ADP-1
An area of operations is allocated to a subordinate to define the geographical limits, a volume of space, within which he may conduct operations. It satisfies his requirements for depth to manoeuvre and protect his force and to fight at extended ranges. At any one level of command areas of operations will never overlap although there may be gaps between them in dispersed operations. Within these geographical limits a commander has the authority to conduct operations, coordinate fire, control movement, develop and maintain installations. The purpose of defining an area of interest is to identify and monitor those factors, including enemy activities, which may influence the outcome of the current and anticipated missions, beyond the allocated area of operations. A commander will decide for himself how wide he must look, in both time and space forward, above, laterally and to the rear, wherever enemy action may affect his own force. The area of influence is the physical volume of space that expands, contracts and moves according to a formation or units current ability to acquire or engage the enemy. It will be determined by the reach of organic systems or those temporarily under command and at any time will be finite.
Area of Interest. That area of concern to the commander, including the area of influence, areas adjacent thereto, and extending into enemy territory to the objectives of current or planned operations. This area also includes areas occupied by enemy forces who could jeopardize the accomplishment of the mission. Area of Influence. A geographical area wherein a commander is directly capable of influencing operations, by manoeuvre of fire support systems, normally under his command or control.

PLANNING LINES Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA). The foremost limits of a series of areas in which ground combat units are deployed, excluding the areas in which the covering or screening forces are operating, designated to co-ordinate fire support, the positioning of forces or the manoeuvre of units. Forward Line Own Troops (FLOT). A line which indicates the most forward positions of friendly forces in any kind of military operation at a specific time. No Fire Line (NFL). A line short of which artillery and ships do not fire except on request or approval of the supported commander, but beyond which they may fire at any time without danger to friendly troops. Restrictive Fire Line (RFL). A line established between converging friendly forces (one or both may be moving) that prohibits all fire support, or effects from fire support, across the line without coordination with the affected force. Fire Support Co-ordination Line (FSCL). A line established by the appropriate ground commander to ensure co-ordination of fire not under his control but which may affect current tactical operations. The FSCL is used to co-ordinate fires of air, ground or sea weapons systems using any type of ammunition against surface targets.

Attacks against surface targets behind this line must be co-ordinated with the appropriate ground force commander. Reconnaissance and Interdiction Planning Line (RIPL). The RIPL is a planning line which is determined by and co-ordinated at LANDCENT level. It is normally sited so as to separate the leading armies from the reserve armies and the follow up elements. Short of the RIPL the Corps Commanders have the primary responsibility for nominating targets which have a direct bearing on the land battle. However Air Interdiction sorties may also be flown in areas short of the RIPL when co-ordinated with the appropriate Corps. These missions are jointly planned at AIRCENT/LANDCENT.

Assault Tanks
As the assaulting infantry and any intimate support tanks close with the objective, the assault tanks have 3 options: To envelop the objective to engage any withdrawing enemy and to prepare to continue the advance. To swing out to fire positions on the flanks to support the fight through the objective. When the objective is impassable to tanks and no suitable fire positions exist on the flanks, to halt short of the objective and provide fire support from the rear. In a squadron and company group operation the assault tanks will remain under the command of the squadron leader. Their primary role during the fight through the objective is to protect the assaulting infantry and any intimate support tanks from interference from enemy not on the position under attack.

Command and Control Relationships (Note 1) a. Operational responsibility Full Command (FULL COMD). The military authority of a superior officer to issue orders to subordinates. It covers every aspect of military operations and administration and exists only within national services. The term command, as used internationally, implies a lesser degree of authority than when it is used in a purely national sense. It follows that no NATO commander has full command over the forces that are assigned to him. This is because nations, in assigning forces to NATO, assign only operational command or operational control. AAP-6
One of the most important functions of operational orders is to detail the exact command or control status of formations and units to which the orders refer. States should give date and time at which they begin and end. See also AJP 01(A). FULL COMD remains a national responsibility which by definition can not be delegated. Overall direction of all UK forces will be exercised by the CDS, as the senior military adviser to HMG, until HMG agrees that OPCOM or OPCON of such forces should pass to Multi-National Corps (MNC). FULL COMD naturally covers every aspect of military operations and administration.
6 - 4 - 14 Issue 1.0: Jul 99
(a)
(b)
(c) Operational Command (OPCOM). The authority granted to a commander to assign missions or tasks to subordinate commanders, to deploy units, to reassign forces and to retain or delegate operational and/or tactical control as may be deemed necessary. It does not of itself include responsibility for administration or logistics. May also be used to denote the forces assigned to a commander. Operational Control (OPCON). The authority delegated to a commander to direct forces assigned so that the commander may accomplish specific missions or tasks which are usually limited by function, time or location; to deploy units concerned, and to retain or assign tactical control of those units. It does not include authority to assign separate employment of components of the units concerned. Neither does it, of itself include administration or logistic control.
(d) AAP-6
(e) OPCOM in NATO is the highest degree of command authority that nations will delegate to the MNCs. OPCOM does not carry the authority to disrupt the basic organisation of a unit. Components of the unit may be employed separately but not to the extent that the unit cannot readily be given a new task or be redeployed elsewhere.
AAP-6
OPCON gives the receiving commander the benefit of the employment of the delegated units without further reference to a senior authority or another nation, but he may not exceed any limitations laid down by them. These limitations will usually be designed to maintain the operational efficiency of the force as a whole, whilst not being so restrictive that they inhibit the conduct of operations. In practice, OPCON usually restricts the use of a force in such a way that it can readily be given a new mission and/or be redeployed elsewhere. Some examples of transfer OPCON are as follows: a division can be placed under OPCON of a corps commander for a specific mission (eg a counter-attack or blocking contingency task); transport aircraft of RAF STC committed to operations may be placed under the OPCON of an appropriate theatre commander. RN, Army and RAF helicopters embarked in an amphibious ship, for helicopter operations, may be placed under Naval OPCON for passage and the initial landing. These helicopters may also be placed under the OPCON of a ground force commander for tactical helicopter operations when committed ashore. In these situations the commander having OPCON orders the mission, ie what has to be done (tasks), to what effect (purpose), within the restrictions given. The commander of the unit(s) placed under OPCON is responsible for how it is to be done, ie the method, and he gives the necessary orders to the unit(s) concerned. This is a lower form of OPCOM. The key differences are that a commander assigned forces under TACOM:
Tactical Command (TACOM). The authority delegated to a commander to assign tasks to forces
AAP-6

(b)
(c) under his command for the accomplishment of the mission assigned by higher authority.
(d)
(e) May allocate tasks to those forces but only in accordance with the mission given to him by the higher authority which assigns the forces. May not disrupt the command structure of those forces by assigning separate employment of their components. May not delegate TACOM of those forces to any other commander, although he may delegate TACON if necessary. For example, an amphibious engineer squadron allocated to a brigade tasked with providing the regulating HQ for a divisional river crossing operation would be assigned to that brigade as TACOM as the mission is given by the divisional commander. See Note 2.
Tactical Control (TACON). The detailed and usually local direction and control of movement and manoeuvres necessary to accomplish missions or tasks assigned.
AAP-6
This replaces both IN LOC and Under Command for Movement. A force assigned to a commander under TACON will execute missions or tasks as directed by the assigning higher commander. The commander assigned TACON is responsible only for the coordination of movement, real estate and local defence whilst the TACON force remains within his area of responsibility. Note 2. There may be variation in exactly what is specified eg under command for administration less supply and routine G1 matters 191000Jan. Less supply does not affect supply responsibility for daily maintenance as defined below.
b. Administration and Logistic Relationships
Under Command for Admin (UCADMIN) (With Caveats) (UCADMIN...). When the temporary nature of the command makes it unnecessary to effect a complete change of administrative command, a formation or unit may be placed under command for certain specific matters, or for administration less certain administrative matters.
JSP 101
Under Command for Daily Maintenance (UCDM). This state of administrative/logistic command leaves the original parent formation or unit HQ with full
JSP 101
From an administrative point of view, it is generally better for units to be attached or detached for daily maintenance only, unless the time away from the parent formation is likely to be considerable.

(b)
(c) responsibility for all administration less daily maintenance. The commander responsible for daily maintenance is responsible only for daily replenishment of combat supplies, evacuation of casualties, the provision of common user supply items, and the repair and recovery of equipment.
(d)
(e) Thus units detached to another fmn are assumed to be UCDM of the new fmn unless otherwise stated. It is important to give timings at which states are effective, not necessarily same as op O timings.
c. Fire Unit and Other Arms Support Control Terms
Direct Support (DS). The support provided by a unit or formation not attached or under command/control of the supported unit or formation, but required to give priority to the support required by that unit or formation. General Support (Gen SP). That support which is given to the supported force as a whole and not to any particular sub-division thereof. General Support Reinforcing (Gen Sp Rft). General Support Reinforcing artillery has the mission of supporting the forces as a whole and, on a secondary basis, of providing reinforcing fire for another artillery unit. Reinforcing (Rft). In artillery usage, a tactical mission in which one artillery unit augments the fire of another artillery unit.
AAP-6
Most likely to be used in low intensity operations when a complete battery (observers and guns) will be placed under OPCOM or OPCON of a battalion. It remains a guarantee of fire.
AAP-6
Refers to artillery which is used to influence the corps or divisional battle. Normally tasked for counter battery, depth targets. There is no guarantee of fire to the manoeuvre arm. Normally Gen Sp artillery is allocated to bolster the fire for a bde operation. Gen Sp Rft gives the allotted artillery 2 priorities: the first is to the CRA and the second is to the bde. It provides therefore a certain degree of guaranteed fire. It is likely to have an ammunition expenditure caveat. This task is a guarantee of fire. Note that an artillery unit can only reinforce another artillery unit (including arty Tac Gps) and not an all arms formation.
NATO STANAG 2887
AAP-6
Notes: 1. Within UK formations a commander may assign a formation or unit the same degree of authority under which he has received it eg a unit of Corps engineers may be OPCOM to a division who may need to OPCOM it to a brigade. He may not assign it at a higher state of command than it was originally assigned to him. 2. This explanatory note has Army endorsement only. It will be normal for UK forces to adopt the tactical terms of another nation if the other nation is providing the higher HQ, and for other nations to adopt UK terms if the other nations formation is subordinate to a UK HQ.

Preliminary Demolition Target. A target, other than a reserved demolition target, which is earmarked for demolition and which can be executed immediately after preparation, provided that prior authority has been granted.
AAP-6
Preliminary demolitions are normally grouped together under one AF W9811 and executed by RE firing parties once authority has been given. Battlegroup commanders may, with the agreement of their formation (brigade) commanders, select preliminary demolitions which they do not wish to have blown with the others; retaining control of them themselves. These selected and approved targets are designated Delayed and target numbers are given the suffix D. The battlegroup commanders concerned thereby become the Authorized Commanders for these demolitions, and separate AF W911s must be prepared. Key demolitions are designated reserved and special arrangements are made for their preparation, security, control and firing. A Demolition Guard is provided. Such arrangements are demanding in resources and hence the number of reserved demolitions is severely restricted. State of Readiness. a. State 1, or Safe, means that the demolition has been prepared but is safe. The firing circuits are made up but not connected and detonators are not inserted. b. State 2, or Armed, means that the demolition is ready for initiation. The firing circuits have been connected and detonators inserted.
Reserved Demolition Target. A target for demolition, the destruction of which must be controlled at a specific level of command because it plays a vital part in the tactical or strategic plan, or because of the importance of the structure itself, or because the demolition may be executed in the face of the enemy.

Taking full advantage of success in battle and following up initial gains. 2. Taking full advantage of any information that has come to hand for tactical or strategic purposes. 3. An offensive operation that usually follows successful attack and is designed to disorganize the enemy in depth. 65. Field of Fire The area which a weapon or a group of weapons may cover effectively with fire from a given position. A tactical unit sent out from the main body to engage in independent fighting; detachment assigned to protect the front, flank or rear of the main body by AAP-6 JG (See Defilade.)

Envelopment
AAP-6
This is an outflanking movement which passes round or through the enemy position to cut off his withdrawal routes and destroy him from the flank or rear. Alternatively this movement may block enemy withdrawal routes while another force attacks frontally. In accordance with NATO doctrine, the British Army has adopted the term estimate which has replaced the appreciation at the tactical and operational levels. The appreciation is still used by the other Services. To exploit is to take advantage of a successful attack by following-up and harassing a dislocated enemy with the aim of further disorganizing him in depth. This may provide the opportunity to capture ground which was not part of the objective of the original attack. It is normally necessary for a commander to lay down a limit of exploitation.

Fighting Power
Fighting power defines an Armys capability to fight.
BMD
There are three interrelated components of fighting power: the conceptual (the thought process), the moral (the ability to get people to fight) and the physical (the means, equivalent to combat power). A defensive fire (DF) target, usually selected by the supported arm commander, covering the most likely line of approach to his position. When not otherwise engaged, guns in direct support and mortars allotted to a FPF task are laid on that task, with guns loaded. A fire unit may only be tasked on one FPF. The primary role of the fire support group is to provide direct fire support onto the objective as the assaulting troops close with it, particularly after any indirect fire has been lifted at the safety limit, switching to targets in depth as they fight through the objective. The fire support group is normally sited on a flank. In mechanized operations tanks may be allocated for this role if it is decided that they are needed in addition to the indirect fire support available. In infantry operations GPMG(SF) and possibly MILAN may be used. In a squadron and company group operation any tanks deployed in the fire support group will remain under the command of the squadron leader, who will control their move forward to join the assault tanks as the attack progresses. Indirect fire controllers may join the fire support group for their own protection. The term Fire Base is no longer used. See Assault Tanks, Intimate Support Tanks. The fire team concept is flexible and any combination of men and weapons within in an infantry section can be called a fire team. (Also used to describe a group of 2-4 anti-tank helicopters.)

An area to which troops deploy immediately before an attack and in which they may adopt their assault formations. It allows a buffer of time between the move forward and crossing the line of departure at H Hour. The FUP is occupied for as short a time as possible although it is here that final orders or briefings may be given or orientation carried out. If it is outside the FEBA it must be reconnoitred and protected before the assaulting troops move into it. The area chosen should be: a. b. c. Easily recognizable.

Firepower destroys, neutralises, suppresses and demoralises; it is essential in defeating an enemys ability and will to fight. d. Protection. Protection preserves the fighting potential of a force so that it can be applied at a decisive time and place. e. Information and Intelligence. Accurate and timely intelligence is fundamental to the success of all operations. Intelligence is the produce of the organised efforts of a commander to gather, analyse and distribute information about the enemy and the operational environment. f. Combat Service Support.

The purpose of grand strategy is to direct and provide coherence to overall national, alliance or coalition policy, including all military and non-military aspects. Grand strategy is therefore the exclusive province of governments. A national, multi-national or alliance strategic authority will consider the realistic contribution that military force can make to the achievement of the grand strategic objectives and set such activity in hand. The term applies particularly to corps level and above, as the corps is normally the formation which is responsible for the design and control of operations, allocating specific and limited tactical missions to the divisions under its control. Divisions, and also brigades, may work at the operational level of war when operating independently or when providing the highest field HQ in the campaign. The term applies particularly to combat at brigade, BG and squadron and company group level and to divisional level when the division is operating in corps or army group chain of command.

Defensive operations are normally undertaken when the enemy has the initiative, to prevent him from seizing terrain or breaking through into a defended area. The fundamental purpose of any defence is to defeat or deter a threat and, in so doing, to provide the right circumstances for regaining the initiative through offensive action.

(1) Mobile Defence. In mobile defence, the core functions combine to defeat the enemy rather than seize ground. A fixing force denies the enemy freedom of action while a striking force manoeuvres in order to hit the enemy. (2) Area Defence. The purpose of area defence is to hold ground or to deny ground to the enemy. Unlike mobile defence, a force committed to area defence does not itself seek the outright destruction of the attacking force. Instead it relies upon a separate but coordinated attack by other dedicated forces to deliver a decisive victory. DELAY Definition. An operation in which a force under pressure trades space for time by slowing enemy momentum and inflicting maximum damage on the enemy without, in principle, becoming decisively engaged. TRANSITIONAL PHASES a. Definition. Transitional phases link the primary operations of war. b. Types. There are five transitional phases during operations: (1) Advance to Contact. Designed to gain or re-establish contact with the enemy.

Phase Line
A line utilized for control and co-ordination of military operations, usually a terrain feature extending across the zone of action.
AAP-6
Operations are sometimes divided into phases to concentrate combat power sufficiently to achieve the necessary force ratio and to make the maximum use of supporting fire. Phases will be necessary when regrouping or a re-allocation of resources has to take place or when fresh units have to be introduced. A phase should only be used where the action affects the whole unit or formation. A plan requiring many phases is likely to be complicated and may well result in excessive pauses and loss of momentum. This will give the enemy a chance to recover and seize the initiative.

Report Line
A line at which troops, after having reached it, must report to their command echelon.
AAP-6
A report line is an easily recognizable feature, at right angles to the axis, which is used to report progress. It need have no tactical significance. It is given a nickname. A force held wholly uncommitted to exploit the unexpected. A formation commander requires to meet both anticipated and unexpected situations. The correct division of resources between forward and reserve troops, and deciding when to commit reserves, are amongst the most difficult decisions which a commander will have to make. Without a reserve a force lacks flexibility and balance. Once a reserve has been committed a new one must be created. A reserve should include a balance of all combat arms and be capable of matching enemy mobility. In armoured or mechanized operations, IFVs or APCs will provide mobility for the infantry and ensure a quick response. In other types of operation the degree of mobility of the infantry element of a reserve will vary between marching, carriage on tanks and lift in support helicopters. The size of reserves depends on the design for battle. There may be occasions when half a formation is initially held in reserve, but usually this will not be practicable. In deciding when to commit reserves the following should be taken into account: An attacker is more vulnerable when he is on the point of launching his assault or has just reached his objective. A quickly mounted counter attack may achieve results out of all
138.
Reserves
1. The quantities of stocks required to be held against emergency, unforeseen fluctuations and expenditure, delays in production and transit, misfortune etc. In peace they include provision for the requirements from the outbreak of war until adequate supplies become available from production. 2. Personnel, units or formations earmarked for future use on mobilization or against an operational requirement or withheld from action at the beginning of an engagement.

(e)
The deployment of the reserve should be timed, if possible, to avoid the worst of any enemy preliminary fire. To be able to do this, particularly at night, positions including alternative positions and routes will have to be reconnoitred and prepared. The ground and the enemy strength will indicate the advantage of counter attacking or of remaining in depth. If the ground being forfeited is not vital to the continued defence of the area, and if the aim is to inflict casualties on the enemy by attrition, reserves may be employed better by occupying positions in depth and gradually bringing the enemy to a halt. It may be possible to destroy or compel the enemy to withdraw by bringing an increasing weight of fire to bear from the front, flank or rear, without using the reserve. The possible roles for a reserve often conflict and may make the decision on its positioning one of priorities or compromise. In all operations a reserve should be nominated and, if possible, constituted. A reserve is held in readiness to react to the unexpected. Likely tasks may be given, but a commander must retain the ability to deploy his reserve to any area in order to maintain or regain the tactical balance. 139. 140.

Standing Operating Procedure (SOP)
A set of instructions covering those features of operations which lend themselves to a definite or standardized procedure without loss of effectiveness. The procedure is applicable unless prescribed otherwise in a particular case. Thus, the flexibility necessary in special situations is retained. A patrol which will be of a strength decided by the commander allotting the task. Its task may be reconnaissance, listening, fighting or a combination of these. It differs from a Reconnaissance, Fighting or Listening Patrol, in that, having taken up its allotted position, it is not free to manoeuvre in performance of its task without permission. A line, selected on ground of tactical significance, on which the guard element of the covering force will halt the enemy and attempt to force him into a deliberate attack.
AAP-6
The purpose of SOPs is to lay down standard procedures for the conduct of operations. This saves constant repetition in orders and gives officers and soldiers a clear understanding of their individual responsibilities. SOPs also allow the Army to promulgate and follow agreed NATO procedures.

Strongpoint (General War). A strongpoint is a term used to describe a well prepared and strongly held infantry position, often a village or an area of dominating ground, which has been sited to shape the axis of an enemy advance. A strongpoint contains a number of bastions and is normally held by a BG. A strongpoint must be prepared to hold firm even when outflanked or cut off by the enemy.

Strong Point (FIBUA). A key point within a defensive position, usually strongly fortified and heavily defended with automatic weapons, around which other positions are grouped for its protection. If it can be avoided, strong points should not be confined to one building so as to avoid their being isolated and destroyed in detail. Platoon strong points should usually be sited in 2 or 3 buildings so as to allow interlocking and mutually supporting fire. 154. Suppressive Fire Fire which neutralizes, destroys or temporarily degrades the capabilities of enemy forces within a specific area.

Vital Ground
AAP-6
Vital ground is normally identified by a superior commander and given out in his orders. Subordinate commanders would have to base their estimates accordingly. The definition of ground as vital in defence will usually imply that counter attack plans must be made to regain it if it is lost to the enemy. Conversely the identification of the enemys vital ground becomes a key element in any attack estimate. Care must be taken to differentiate between this term and Key Terrain, which now describes important ground.

Vulnerable Point (VP) Withdrawal
In Military Home Defence, a facility which is vital to the operational function of a Key Point. A planned operation in which a force in contact disengages from an enemy force. AAP-6 A withdrawal occurs when a force disengages from an enemy force in accordance with the will of its commander. It seeks to break contact with the enemy. This does not necessarily imply that reconnaissance and/or guard elements do not maintain surveillance over the enemy. Retirement. A retirement is different from a withdrawal in that it is a movement away from the enemy by a force out of contact with the enemy and is administrative in nature. (ATP-35).
