ART 4.0: The Air Defense Battlefield Operating System
The air defense battlefield operating system protects the force from
missile attack, air attack and aerial surveillance by any of the following,
ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, conventional fixed- and rotary-wing
aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles. It prevents enemies from
interdicting friendly forces, while freeing commanders to synchronize
movement and firepower. All members of the combined arms team
perform air defense tasks; however, ground-based air defense artillery
units execute most Army air defense operations. ART 4.0 includes fires at
aerial platforms by both dedicated air defense systems and non-dedicated

ART 5.0: The Mobility/Countermobility/Survivability
Battlefield Operating System
Mobility operations preserve the freedom of maneuver of friendly forces.
Mobility tasks include breaching obstacles, increasing battlefield
circulation, improving or building roads, providing bridge and raft
support, and identifying routes around contaminated areas.
Countermobility denies mobility to enemy forces. It limits the maneuver
of enemy forces and enhances the effectiveness of fires. Survivability
operations protect friendly forces from the effects of enemy weapons
systems. They include security operations, hardening facilities, fortifying
battle positions, defensive information operations, NBC defense
measures, and dispersion.

ART 5.1.1 OVERCOME BARRIERS/OBSTACLES/MINES
5-2. Enable a force to maintain its mobility by reducing and/or clearing
obstacles. An obstacle is any obstruction that is designed or employed to
disrupt, fix, turn, or block the movement of an opposing force and to impose
additional losses in personnel, time, and equipment on the opposing force.
Obstacles can exist naturally (existing)—such as rivers, mountains, barrier
reefs, and cities, be man-made (reinforcing)—such as minefields and antitank
ditches, or be a combination of both. A complex obstacle is a combination of
different types of individual obstacles that requires more than one reduction
technique (explosive, mechanical, or manual) to create a lane through the
obstacle. A reinforcing obstacle is an obstacle that is specifically constructed,
emplaced, or detonated through military effort. (FM 3-34.2) (USAES)

ART 5.1.1.1
CONDUCT BREACHING OPERATIONS
5-3. Conduct a combined arms operation to project combat power to the far
side of an obstacle. Breaching tenets include intelligence, synchronization,
mass, breach fundamentals (suppress, obscure, reduce, and assault), and
breach organization
(support, assault, and breach forces). ART
5.1.1.1
includes the reduction of minefields and other obstacles. Reduction is the
creation of lanes through or over an obstacle to allow an attacking force to
pass. The number and width of lanes created varies with the enemy
situation, the assault force's size and composition, and the scheme of
maneuver. The lanes must allow the assault force to rapidly pass through the
obstacle. The breach force will reduce, proof (if required), mark, and report
lane locations and the land-marking method to higher headquarters. Follow-
on units will further reduce or clear the obstacle when required. (FM 3-34.2)
