SECTION VII - ART 1.7: CONDUCT COUNTERMOBILITY OPERATIONS
1-83. Countermobility operations involve constructing reinforcing obstacles integrated with fires to inhibit
the maneuver of an enemy force, increase time for target acquisition, and increase weapon effectiveness.
Commanders integrate obstacle planning into the military decisionmaking process (see FM 5-0); integrate
obstacles into the concept of operations (primarily through proper siting); and maintain integration through
obstacle turnover, protection, and tracking. The force constructs, emplaces, or detonates tactical and
protective obstacles to reinforce existing obstacles. Tactical obstacles are designed and integrated with fires
to achieve a tactical effect—disrupt, fix, turn, or block. The three types of tactical obstacles are directed
obstacles, situational obstacles, and reserve obstacles. They are distinguished by the differences in
execution criteria. Protective obstacles are a key component of survivability operations. (See ART 6.7,
Conduct Survivability Operations.) The force may employ any type of individual obstacle as a tactical
obstacle. (FM 5-102) (USAES)

protection, movement and maneuver, and sustainment functions, tasks, and systems to enhance freedom of
action. The integrated and synchronized maneuver support related tasks shape the environment to protect
the force, enhance survivability, and support mobility and countermobility. Maneuver support operations
also provide selected sustainment support and generally expand the freedom of action of the supported
units while denying options and freedom of actions to the enemy. This allows combat power to be applied
at the decisive point and time and facilitates simultaneous actions at the operational level and rapid

∞ART 3.0: The Fires Warfighting Function
The fires warfighting function is the related tasks and systems that provide collective
and coordinated use of Army indirect fires and joint fires through the targeting
process. It includes tasks associated with integrating and synchronizing the effects of
these types of fires with the effects of other warfighting functions. Commanders
integrate these tasks into the concept of operations during planning and adjust them
based on the targeting guidance. Fires normally contribute to the overall effect of
maneuver, but commanders may use them separately for decisive and shaping
operations. (FM 3-0) (USACAC)
Note: ART 5.1.1.4 (Conduct Fires Planning) addresses planning for fires conducted during the
operations process. ART 5.1.4.3 (Provide Combat Assessment) addresses combat assessment
(Battle damage assessment, munitions effects assessments, and reattack recommendation).
∞SECTION I - ART 3.1: INTEGRATE FIRES
3-1. Commanders integrate fires and maneuver through the operations process. Fire support personnel
from platoon through theater Army assist the commander by integrating and synchronizing related tasks
and systems that provide collective and coordinated use of Army indirect fires and joint fires with the
effects of other warfighting functions. These are integrated into the concept of operations during planning
and adjusted based on the targeting guidance. (FM 6-20) (USAFAS)

3-10. Neutralize, destroy, or temporarily degrade surface-based enemy tactical air defenses by destructive
and disruptive means to increase aircraft survivability. Lethal suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD)
seeks the destruction of surface-based enemy tactical air defenses, such as target systems or operating
personnel, by destructive means. Examples of destructive SEAD capabilities are bombs, air- and surface-
to-surface missiles, air-scatterable mines, and field artillery. Nondestructive SEAD seeks to temporarily
deny, degrade, deceive, delay, or neutralize surface-based enemy tactical air defense systems by disruptive
means to increase aircraft survivability. (FM 6-20) (USAFAS)
Note: Disruptive means include activities discussed in ART 3.2.1.6 (Conduct Electronic Attack).

7-30. Stability operations encompass various military missions, tasks, and activities conducted outside the
United States in coordination with elements of combat to maintain or reestablish a safe and secure
environment, provide essential government services, emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and
humanitarian relief. Stability operations can be conducted in support of a host-nation or interim government
or as part of an occupation when no government exists. Stability operations involve both coercive and
constructive actions by the military force. They are designed to establish a safe and secure environment;
facilitate reconciliation among local or regional adversaries; establish political, legal, social, and economic
institutions; and facilitate the transition to legitimate local governance. Army forces conduct five stability
tasks: civil security, civil control, restore essential services, support to governance, and support to
economic and infrastructure development. (FM 3-0) (USACAC)

ART 7.3.1 ESTABLISH CIVIL SECURITY
7-31. Civil security involves providing for the safety of the state and its population, including protection
from internal and external threats. Civil security includes a diverse set of activities, ranging from enforcing
peace agreements to executing disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. For the other stability tasks
to be effective, civil security is required. Establishing a safe, secure, and stable environment for the local
populace is key to obtaining their support for the overall stability operation. To help establish civil security,
military forces enforce ceasefires, supervise disengagement of belligerent forces, and neutralize potential
adversaries. As soon the host-nation security forces can safely perform this task, Army forces transition
civil security responsibilities to them. (FM 3-0) (USACAC)

SECTION IV - ART 7.4: CONDUCT CIVIL SUPPORT OPERATIONS
7-74. Civil support is Department of Defense support to U.S. civil authorities for domestic emergencies,
and for designated law enforcement and other activities. Civil support includes operations that address the
consequences of natural or manmade disasters, accidents, and incidents within the United States and its
territories. Army forces conduct civil support operations when the size and scope of events exceed the
capabilities of domestic civilian agencies. The Army National Guard is often the first military force to
respond on behalf of state authorities. Army civil support operations include three tasks: provide support in
response to a disaster, support civil law enforcement, and provide other support as required. (FM 3-0)
(USACAC)

required to manage and mitigate damage resulting from the use of chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear weapons or the release of toxic industrial materials or contaminants.
ART 6.12.8.5 (Provide Explosive Ordnance Disposal Support to Civil Authorities) addresses
assistance to include providing explosive ordnance disposal service when requested by local,
state, or federal authorities in the interest of public safety.
ART 6.12.8.6 (Provide Specific Training to Personnel on Explosive Ordnance Disposal)
addresses training for military personnel, federal agencies, and public officials involved with
civil emergency preparedness, law enforcement, and fire protection as requested.
ART 7.4.1 PROVIDE SUPPORT IN RESPONSE TO DISASTER OR
TERRORIST ATTACK
7-75. Disaster relief operations focus on recovery of critical infrastructure after natural or man-made
disasters. Humanitarian relief focuses on the well-being of supported populations. Both normally occur
simultaneously. In the case of a disaster, state, and local authorities are responsible for restoring essential
services. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.4.1.1 PROVIDE DISASTER RELIEF
7-76. Disaster relief restores or recreates essential infrastructure. It includes establishing and maintaining
the minimum safe working conditions, less security measures, necessary to protect relief workers and the
affected population. Disaster relief allows effective humanitarian relief and creates conditions for long-term
recovery. It may involve consultation on and provision of emergency medical treatment and evacuation;
repairing or demolishing damaged structures; restoring or building bridges, roads, and airfields; and
removing debris from supply routes and relief sites. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
Note: Disaster relief includes the submissions of military assistance to civilian disaster
organizations, natural disaster relief, oil and hazardous substances incident or emergency, public
health emergency, as well as technological or man-made disaster relief.
ART 7.4.1.2 PROVIDE HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
7-77. Humanitarian relief focuses on lifesaving measures that alleviate the immediate needs of a
population in crisis. It often includes providing medical support, food, water, medicine, clothing, blankets,
shelter, and heating or cooking fuels. In some cases, it involves transporting affected people from a disaster
area. Civilian relief agencies, government and nongovernmental, are best suited to provide this type of
relief. Army forces conducting humanitarian relief usually facilitate civil relief efforts.
(FM 3-07)
(USACAC)
ART 7.4.2 PROVIDE SUPPORT TO CIVIL LAW ENFORCEMENT
7-78. Support to domestic civil law enforcement involves activities related to the Department of Justice’s
counterterrorism activities, counterdrug activities, military assistance during civil disturbances, and general
support. Army support involves providing resources, training, or augmentation. Federal military forces
remain under the military chain of command while supporting civil law enforcement. The supported law
enforcement agency coordinates Army forces activities per appropriate civil laws and interagency
agreements. Army National Guard units in state status can be a particularly useful military resource. They
may be able to provide assistance to civil authorities when federal units cannot due to the Posse Comitatus
Act. Title 10 U.S. Code prohibits the military from directly participating in arrests, searches, seizures, or
other similar activities unless authorized by law. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)

ART 7.4.2.1 SUPPORT DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COUNTERTERRORISM ACTIVITIES
7-79. When directed by the President, Army forces may provide assistance to the Department of Justice in
the areas of transportation, equipment, training, and personnel. When terrorists pose an imminent threat,
Army forces may be used to counter these threats. Army forces may also support crisis management. Crisis
management of a terrorist incident includes measures to resolve a situation and investigate a criminal case
for prosecution under federal law. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the lead agency and has
responsibility for crisis management within the United States. Army forces may provide specialized or
technical capabilities to assist in defusing or resolving a terrorist crisis. Support of crisis management
includes opening lines of communications for military assistance, evacuating casualties, executing
reconnaissance, and decontaminating or assessing the effects of weapons of mass destruction. In the
aftermath of a terrorist incident, Army forces may be involved in consequence management activities.
These activities include casualty and medical assistance, evaluation and repair of damage to structures and
utilities, explosive ordnance disposal, and mortuary affairs. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.4.2.2 CONDUCT CIVIL DISTURBANCE OPERATIONS
7-80. Army forces assist civil authorities in restoring law and order when state and local law enforcement
agencies are unable to control civil disturbances. The Army National Guard is the first military responder
during most civil disturbance situations. It usually remains on state active-duty status throughout the
operation. When conditions of domestic violence and disorder endanger life and property to the extent that
state law enforcement agencies, to include the Army National Guard, cannot suppress violence and restore
law and order, the President may federalize Army National Guard units under Title 10, U.S. Code, Chapter
15. The President may use federalized Army National Guard and federal forces to restore law and order.
Restrictions may be placed on federal military forces either in the executive order directing their use or
through the rules for the use of force outlined in the Department of Defense Civil Disturbance Plan.

(USACAC)
ART 7.4.3 PROVIDE OTHER SUPPORT AS REQUIRED
7-82. Community assistance is a broad range of activities that provide support and maintain a strong
connection between the military and civilian communities. Community assistance activities provide
effective means of projecting a positive military image, provide training opportunities, and enhance the
relationship between Army forces and the American public. They should fulfill community needs that
would not otherwise be met. Community assistance activities can enhance individual and unit combat
readiness. Army assistance to the community can include air ambulance support, search and rescue
activities, firefighting capability, explosive ordnance disposal, emergency or broad-based medical care,
wildlife and domestic animal management, assistance in safety and traffic control, emergency snow
removal, temporary supplemental housing for the displaced or disadvantaged, and postal augmentation.

to another. (FM 3-90) (USACAC)
ART 7.5.29 CONDUCT SOLDIER SURVEILLANCE AND
RECONNAISSANCE
7-112. Every Soldier, as a part of a small unit, is a potential information collector and an essential
component to answer commander’s critical information requirements and facilitate the commander’s
situational understanding. Each Soldier develops a special level of awareness simply due to exposure to
events occurring in the area of operations
(AO) and has the opportunity to collect information by
observation and interaction with the population. These observations and interactions provide depth and
context to information collected through surveillance and reconnaissance. Collecting and reporting this
information within an AO is a critical element to achieve situational understanding of the AO. Leaders
must create a climate that allows all Soldiers to feel free to report what they see and learn on a mission.

ART 7.6.1.5 PROVIDE MILITARY SUPPORT TO COUNTERDRUG EFFORTS
7-119. The Army participates in counterdrug operations under provisions of the national drug control
strategy. Army forces may be employed in various operations to support other government agencies
responsible for detecting, disrupting, interdicting, and destroying illicit drugs and the infrastructure
(personnel, materiel, and distribution systems) of illicit drug-trafficking entities. When conducted inside the
United States and its territories, they are civil support operations. When conducted outside the United
States and its territories, counterdrug operations are considered stability operations. Army forces do not
engage in direct action in counterdrug operations. Units that support counterdrug operations comply with
U.S. and foreign legal limitations concerning the acquisition of information from civilians and the conduct
of law enforcement activities. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.1 Support Detection and Monitoring of Drug Shipments
7-120. Provide aerial and ground reconnaissance to support counterdrug operations by law enforcement
agencies. The goal is to provide early notification to—and, as necessary, prolonged tracking of—aerial and
surface targets for appropriate law enforcement agencies. This support enables law enforcement agencies to
intercept, search, and arrest traffickers, and seize illegal drugs and illegally obtained property. Aerial
reconnaissance may be conducted with fixed- or rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems, or
ground-based radars. Land reconnaissance may be executed by observation posts, patrols, ground
surveillance radars, and remote ground sensors. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.2 Provide Command, Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence
Support to Counterdrug Efforts
7-121. Army personnel and equipment may assist law enforcement agencies and host nations in
designing, implementing, and integrating command, control, communication, computer, and intelligence
systems. Army personnel support national and departmental drug operations and law enforcement agency
analytical centers. In addition, Army forces provide liaison to law enforcement agencies and host nations to
facilitate smooth and successful integration of military support. Army units and personnel provide
intelligence support targeted at the full range of narcotics traffickers’ operations. The principal means of
providing this support is through tactical analysis teams. These teams co-locate with the U.S. country team,
support law enforcement agencies, and provide focused detection and monitoring of narcotics trafficking
activities. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.3 Provide Planning Support to Counterdrug Efforts
7-122. Army personnel support counterdrug planning of both law enforcement agencies and host nations.
Understanding the supported agency or host nation, including its culture and people, is critical. Planning
support provided to law enforcement agencies must take into account the organization’s mission, current
goals, structure or chain of command, measures of success, and relationships with other government
agencies or countries. Planning support provided to host nations is similar to that provided to domestic law
enforcement agencies. However, the host-nation culture, historical perspectives, political climate, and
economic conditions are also considered. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.4 Provide Logistic Support to Counterdrug Efforts
7-123. Army forces can assist law enforcement agencies or host nations during their conduct of
counterdrug operations with logistic management and execution. This includes transportation, maintenance,
engineer design and construction, use of facilities, equipment loans, or military working dog support. Army
forces can provide supplies and field services directly, if authorized, or assist other agencies in procuring
and managing them from other sources. Commanders who assist law enforcement with transportation of
evidence, seized property, or contraband ensure a law enforcement officer accompanies the shipment to
maintain continuity of the chain of custody. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)

as basic marksmanship, patrolling, mission planning, medical, and survival skills. Commanders provide
support using a mix of mobile training teams; participation in operational planning groups, joint or
combined exercises, institutional training, noninstitutional training, and training simulations; and extended
training service specialists. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.6 Provide Manpower Support to Counterdrug Efforts
7-125. Army forces may provide various individuals or units to support interagency and host-nation
counterdrug efforts. Categories of manpower support are eradication, administrative—including staff judge
advocate officers, legal specialists, and accounting specialists—linguist, liaison officer, inspection, military
police, and intelligence analyst. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.1.5.7 Provide Research, Development, and Acquisition Support to Counterdrug Efforts
7-126. The Army Counterdrug Research, Development, and Acquisition Office makes military research,
development, and acquisition efforts available to law enforcement agencies. It informs them of new
technical capabilities that have possible law enforcement application. It can also assist them in contracting
and procuring technical equipment. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.2 CONDUCT LIMITED INTERVENTIONS
7-127. Limited interventions are executed to achieve a clearly defined end state, limited in scope.
Corresponding limitations are imposed on the supporting operations and size of the forces involved. These
operations may be phased but are not intended to become campaigns. Although limited interventions are
confined in terms of end state and forces, their execution may be lengthy. Joint task forces usually conduct
these limited interventions. (FM 3-0) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.2.1 PERFORM NONCOMBATANT EVACUATION OPERATIONS
7-128. Noncombatant evacuation operations relocate threatened civilian noncombatants from locations in
a host nation to secure areas. Normally, these operations involve U.S. citizens whose lives are in danger,
either from the threat of hostilities or from a natural disaster. They may also include host-nation citizens
and third-country nationals. Army forces, normally as part of a joint task force, conduct noncombatant
evacuation operations to assist and support the Department of State. Noncombatant evacuation operations
usually involve swift insertions of a force, temporary occupation of an objective, and a planned withdrawal
upon accomplishment of the mission. This operation can occur in three environments: permissive,
uncertain, or hostile. The environment in which a noncombatant evacuation operation occurs can quickly
change from one to another with little warning. The commander prepares to operate in all three
environments. This task includes sustainment functions involving emergency medical treatment,
transportation, administrative processing, and coordination with the Department of State and other agencies
involved in the evacuation. Task organization for noncombatant evacuation operations is based on the
operational environment in which the action is performed. However, since the environment can change
rapidly, the permissive form of noncombatant evacuation operations can become uncertain or hostile.
(FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.2.2 CONDUCT A STRIKE
7-129. Strikes are attacks conducted to damage or destroy an objective or capability or to compel a hostile
government or force to defer from taking hostile actions. Strikes are usually planned and executed as part
of or in support of a joint operation. (JP 3-0) (USJFCOM JWFC)
ART 7.6.2.3 CONDUCT A RAID
7-130. A raid is an attack, usually small scale, involving a swift entry into hostile territory to secure
information, confuse the enemy, or destroy installations. It usually ends with a planned withdrawal from

detailed intelligence and deliberate planning. Raids may destroy key enemy installations and facilities,
capture or free prisoners, or disrupt enemy command and control or other important systems. (FM 3-90)
(USACAC)
ART 7.6.2.4 CONDUCT A SHOW OF FORCE
7-131. Shows of force are flexible deterrence options designed to demonstrate U.S. resolve. They involve
increasing the visibility of U.S. forces to defuse a situation that, if allowed to continue, may be detrimental
to national interests or objectives. The United States conducts shows of force for three reasons: to bolster or
reassure allies, deter potential aggressors, and gain or increase influence. Shows of force demonstrate a
credible and specific threat to an aggressor or potential aggressor. They involve increasing the visibility of
U.S. forces in the eyes of the target audience through establishing an area presence and performing
exercises and demonstrations. Presence patrols executed by small tactical units are one technique of
conducting shows of force. Although actual combat is not desired, shows of force can rapidly and
unexpectedly escalate. Therefore, units assigned a show of force mission assume that combat is probable
and prepare accordingly. All actions ordinarily associated with the projection of a force to conduct combat
operations pertain to show of force deployments. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.2.5 CONDUCT FOREIGN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
7-132. Foreign humanitarian assistance operations occur outside the United States and its territories.
Army forces usually conduct them to relieve or reduce the results of natural or man-made disasters before,
during, or after the event. They also relieve conditions—such as pain, disease, hunger, or privation—that
present a serious threat to life or loss of property. Army forces supplement or complement efforts of host-
nation civil authorities or other agencies that provide assistance. Army forces participate in foreign
humanitarian assistance operations that may be unilateral, multinational, or United Nations-coordinated
responses. Foreign humanitarian assistance is limited in scope and duration. It focuses exclusively on
prompt aid to resolve an immediate crisis. Long-term activities designed to support full recovery and a
return to predisaster conditions normally will become part of a combatant commander’s theater engagement
plan. In such cases, a foreign humanitarian assistance operation transitions to a stability operation.

Peacekeeping operations usually involve observing, monitoring, or supervising and assisting parties to a
dispute. To achieve their objectives, Army forces conducting peacekeeping operations rely on the

require the consent of all parties. Peace enforcement operations maintain or restore peace and support
diplomatic efforts to reach a long-term political settlement. Army forces assigned a peace enforcement
mission must be able to apply sufficient combat power for self-defense and to perform tasks forcibly. Units
must also be prepared to transition to peacekeeping operations. Peace enforcement operations normally

wide variety of operational environments. U.S. policy currently deals with threats through the indirect use
of military force in concert with the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of

ART 7.6.4.2 PROVIDE SUPPORT TO INSURGENCIES
7-147. Insurgencies are movements organized to overthrow a constituted government through subversion
and armed conflict. By order of the President, Army forces support insurgencies that oppose regimes that
threaten U.S. interests or regional stability. While any Army force can be tasked to support an insurgency,
Army special operations forces usually receive these missions. The training, organization, and regional
focus of Army special operations forces make them well suited for these operations. Army forces
supporting insurgencies may provide logistic and training support. They can, but normally do not, conduct
combat operations. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.4.3 CONDUCT COUNTERINSURGENCY OPERATIONS
7-148. Counterinsurgency is those military, paramilitary, political, economic, psychological, and civic
actions taken by a government to defeat insurgency. In counterinsurgency, host-nation forces and their
partners operate to defeat armed resistance, reduce passive opposition, and establish or reestablish the
legitimacy of the host-nation government. Counterinsurgency is the predominant joint operation in
Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. (FM 3-24) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.4.4 COMBAT TERRORISM
7-149. Terrorism is the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate
fear. It is intended to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in pursuit of goals that are generally
political, religious, or ideological. Enemies who cannot compete with Army forces conventionally often
turn to terrorist tactics. Terrorist attacks often create a disproportionate effect on even the most capable
conventional forces. Tactics used by terrorists range from arson to the use of weapons of mass destruction.
Army forces routinely conduct operations to deter or defeat these attacks. Offensively-oriented operations
are categorized as; defensively-oriented operations are antiterrorism. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
Note: This task branch only addresses counterterrorism operations. ART
6.6
(Apply
Antiterrorism Measures) addresses antiterrorism measures.
ART 7.6.4.5 CONDUCT COUNTERTERRORISM OPERATIONS
7-150. Counterterrorism are operations that include the offensive measures taken to prevent, deter,
preempt, and respond to terrorism. By law, the counterterrorism mission is assigned to designated special
operations forces that are organized and trained to combat terrorism. Those forces conduct counterterrorism
outside the territory of the United States. Relevant National Security Decision Directives, National Security

Chapter 7
Directives, contingency plans, and other relevant classified documents address sensitive and
compartmentalized counterterrorism programs. Commanders who employ conventional forces against
organized terrorist forces operating in their AO are conducting conventional offensive operations, not
counterterrorism operations. (FM 3-07) (USACAC)
ART 7.6.4.6 CONDUCT UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE
7-151. Unconventional warfare is a broad spectrum of military and paramilitary operations, normally of
long duration, predominantly conducted through, with, or by host-nation or surrogate forces that are
organized, trained, equipped, supported, and directed in varying degrees by an external source. It includes,
but is not limited to, guerrilla warfare, subversion, sabotage, intelligence activities, and unconventional
assisted recovery. Unconventional warfare is operations conducted by, with, or through irregular forces in
support of a resistance movement, insurgency, or conventional military operations.
