ISBN: 9781479228249
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
This electronic warfare (EW) doctrine is a key element in the Army's ongoing effort to rebuild and modernize its EW capability. This publication, FM 3-36, the first Army EW doctrine to be issued in nearly a decade, is as timely as it is essential. In addition to directly supporting traditional EW operations, FM 3-36 is moving the Army's EW strategy into cyberspace and the electromagnetic environment and is a great start in providing guidance to commanders and ultimately our national decision makers. It provides commanders clear concepts and doctrine that maximize operational effectiveness across the electromagnetic spectrum in both traditional and evolving technologies. The global proliferation of electronics and wireless transmissions has evolved into a significant technological advantage for our nation while simultaneously creating a greater dependence on technology. This dependence also presents challenges, as our adversaries are constantly developing the means to use these same wireless networks, electronics, computer networks, and electronic warfare capabilities to launch attacks against us. To meet these challenges, the Army is implementing and integrating network and electronic warfare capabilities to counter the hostile use of cyberspace, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum. FM 3-36 provides Army commanders and their staff guidance on how the electromagnetic spectrum can impact their operations and how friendly EW operations can be used to gain an advantage. This manual describes the application of EW in support of full spectrum operations and provides a baseline for ensuring a common understanding and operational consistency. Although new equipment, tactics, techniques, and procedures continue to be developed, the physics of electromagnetic energy remains constant. So, as new strategies and tactics are devised to meet the cyberspace environment of the 21st century, electronic warfare remains a critical component of our national defense. This updated doctrine and other modifications to the Army's operational strategies are testimony to the innovation and vision on which our nation relies in this era of the Cyber Revolution.

Redefining Information Warfare Boundaries for an Army in a Wireless World
Author: Isaac Porche
Publisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833078860
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
"In the U.S. Army as elsewhere, transmission of digitized packets on Internet-protocol and space-based networks is rapidly supplanting the use of old technology (e.g., dedicated analog channels) when it comes to information sharing and media broadcasting. As the Army moves forward with these changes, it will be important to identify the implications and potential boundaries of cyberspace operations. An examination of network operations, information operations, and the more focused areas of electronic warfare, signals intelligence, electromagnetic spectrum operations, public affairs, and psychological operations in the U.S. military found significant overlap that could inform the development of future Army doctrine in these areas. In clarifying the prevailing boundaries between these areas of interest, it is possible to predict the progression of these boundaries in the near future. The investigation also entailed developing new definitions that better capture this overlap for such concepts as information warfare. This is important because the Army is now studying ways to apply its cyber power and is reconsidering doctrinally defined areas that are integral to operations in cyberspace. It will also be critical for the Army to approach information operations with a plan to organize and, if possible, consolidate its operations in two realms: the psychological, which is focused on message content and people, and the technological, which is focused on content delivery and machines."--Page 4 of cover.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
To Be a Soldier offers the US Army’s two capstone doctrinal manuals in one place for the first time. This guide begins with the Army’s introductory text, FM-1 The Army, which explains the Army’s origin and purpose, its mission and values, how it functions as a portion of a joint military force in combat, and the importance of the individual soldier in a larger fighting force. When readers have learned the fundamentals of the Army, FM-3 Operations provides foundational knowledge of the full spectrum of Army operations. This manual is the Army’s principal tool for the instruction of today’s soldiers in the art and science of warfare, and has been recently updated to discuss counter-insurgency and hybrid threats in addition to conventional land operations. To Be a Soldier is the reader’s guide to the Army’s most fundamental knowledge by offering its two capstone texts in one place. The information in this handbook forms the basis for all the knowledge conveyed in any subsequent Army field manuals, making it required reading for all soldiers and readers with interest in US Army training and operations.
