Introduction: 1. The Brigade Fires Cell (BFC) expands the functionality of the traditional brigadelevel Fire Support Element (FSE) by adding non-lethal functions to bring a synergy of coordinated effects applied on the battlefield. This improved functionality includes the following: A) The improved ability to integrate available non-lethal capabilities into targeting. B) The management of counter fire operations. (In conventional, linear battlefield situations where the FA Battalion is in DS support to the brigade. C) The planning, integration, and synchronization of non-lethal operations. D) Improved joint fires connectivity. E) Attack the Network Targeting. F) Target Development Nomination, Vetting and Validating. G) Deliberate and Dynamic Targeting. H) Plan, Coordinate and Synchronize the High Payoff Target list, High Value Targets, High Value Individuals, Attack Guidance Matrix, and Target Selection Standards. 2. The 4th BCT has traditional Fire Support organizations; battalion/squadron FSEs and company/troop Fire Support Teams (FIST) that work closely with the BFC. These traditional organizations remain vital parts of the combined-arms infrastructure that exists within the 4th BCT. See figure below for the 4th BCT MTOE. 3. The BFC exists to plan, coordinate, integrate, and synchronize the employment of full spectrum fires and effects in support of brigade operations. This includes lethal and non-lethal effects. The fire support organizations at battalion/squadron level and below exist to ensure lethal fires, organic to the maneuver commander and any additional fires and effects allocated by the BFC, are delivered on time and on target. Together, the BFC and fire support (FS) organizations enable the brigade to employ effects-based fires to protect the force and shape the battlefield.

Chapter 1: BFC Organization 1. The BFC is led and directed by the 4th BCT Fire Support Coordinator (FSCOORD). The BFC is the special staff through which all plans are coordinated, integrated, and synchronized. Primary BFC functions include the following: A) Planning for future operations B) Targeting C) Counterfire D) Planning, coordination, synchronization, and execution of fires and effects in support of BCT operations. E) Collaboration in the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) or Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment. F) Work with the Information Operations and the five core capabilities of IO; Military Information Support Operations (MISO), Operations Security (OPSEC), Military Deception (MILDEC), Electronic Warfare (EW), Computer Network Operations (CNO), to include CA and PA elements to integrate IO into the BCT targeting process. G) Coordination of the tasking of sensors during development of the collection plan, with the S2 and the RSTA squadron, to acquire targets. H) Participation in the Brigade military decision-making process (MDMP). I) Participation in the targeting process. J) Coordination, integration, and synchronization of Information Operations into combined arms operations. K) Planning, coordinating, and controlling all assets in the target acquisition platoon, detachment or battery once deployed. L) Managing the establishment of and changes to Fire Support Coordination Measures (FSCM). M) Coordinating maneuver space for the positioning of field artillery assets. N) Coordinating clearance of lethal and non-lethal attack against targets (clearance of fires). O) Perform Combat Assessments to determine the overall effectiveness of force employment during military operations. P) Coordinating requests for additional fires and effects, both lethal and non-lethal through the higher HQ. 2. The BFC is a standing organization within the brigade HQ and has the resources to support current operations from a TAC CP and plan for future operations from a Main CP. The BFC consists of a non-lethal element, a fires element, and a COLT element. As the METT-TC dictate, the BFC can be augmented by other Army agencies, governments and organizations e.g. reinforcing FA unit(s), as well as assets to provide/enhance IO and related activities. The BFC collaboratively plans and executes full spectrum fires and effects in an integrated fashion with the other war fighting functions resident within the brigade. The BFC will remain the centerpiece of the

brigade targeting architecture. 3. Being located in the Main CP facilitates collaboration with the other WARFIGHTING FUNCTIONS. The Brigade Fires Cell prepares fires and effects products used in the MDMP and targeting process. Upon approval of a Course of Action, the element produces and disseminates the fires and effects portions of the brigade OPORD. The Plans and Targeting Element prepares recommendations for the targeting meeting and implements the resulting decisions through targeting guidance in electronic data folders, and ABCs Systems. Functions of the Brigade Fires Cell include: A) Decide surface targets. B) Detect and locate surface targets. C) Provide fire support D) Assess effectiveness. E) Integrate and synchronize cyber-electromagnetic activities. F) Develop the concept of fires, the draft fires and effects execution matrix (FEEM), draft target lists, no-fire areas (NFA), no strike target list and identify FSCMs for each COA. G) Develop/refine targeting guidance for each COA. H) Develop Target Criteria (TCRIT) for input into AFATDS for each COA. I) Prepare products for the targeting meeting. J) Implement targeting guidance. K) Update/purge targeting files. L) Develop the HPTL. M) Develop attack guidance. N) Establish target selection standards (TSS). O) Nominate targets to higher headquarters. P) Synchronize the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) plan. Q) Synchronize maneuver and fire support. R) Integrate counter-mobility, mobility, and survivability operations. S) Receive and evaluate battle damage assessment (BDA). T) Monitor fire support systems and ammunition. U) Develop and synchronize the ISR plan with the fire support plan (Focus on positioning observers early to support the top-down fire plan). 4. Current Operations: The current operations element may be located alongside the Plans and Targeting Element in the Main CP or may be forward with the TAC CP when it is deployed. It tracks and maintains situational understanding of all fires and effects assets. Its two main functions are executing current operations including reactive counter fire and controlling the assets of the Target Acquisition Platoon. It maintains the locations of artillery batteries, forward observers, target acquisition (TA) radars, and

mortars. Counterfire radar positioning, coverage and zones are planned and refined by the Ops and Counterfire Element. Functions of the Brigade Fires Cell Current Ops and Counterfire Element include: A) Monitor the tactical situation. B) Maintain and update unit information and digital/voice status. C) Ensure tactical fire control with supporting FA and TA assets. D) Monitor processing of preplanned fires in the FS plan. E) Coordinate clearance of all fires with units (see Counterfire Drill). F) Maintain and update the current active NFA list. G) Maintain digital link to FA/TA assets. H) Develop TA positioning, coverage, and zones for each COA. I) Ensure proper orientation of available assets. J) Track FA/TA assets. K) Track and maintain situational understanding of CAS. L) Track and maintain situational understanding of NSFS. M) Send fire missions to battalion FDC for processing. N) Obtain combat assessment reports. O) Ensure MFRs and ATI reports are received and processed. 5. NON-LETHAL ELEMENT A) The Non-Lethal Element of the BFC consists of planners for IO, CA, MISO, electronic attack (EA) and legal support to civil-military operations (CMO). The NonLethal Element plans, coordinates, integrates and synchronizes the application of non-lethal effects operations in support of the brigade. Through reach-back, the Non-Lethal Element has access to information necessary to enhance situational understanding in support of brigade operations, and when necessary make recommendations for augmentation of its non-lethal capabilities. Augmentation with non-lethal capabilities broadens the range of effects available. B) The Non-Lethal Element capability distinguishes the BFC from a traditional FSE. When deployed, the brigade will likely receive the following assets in the form of detachments/sections/teams/cells: MISO, EA, and CA. The IO Element integrates these assets into operations to apply non-lethal effects against both traditional and asymmetric threats within the AO. Public Affairs (PA) activities will also be integrated by the BFC. C) The IO Element may request support for specific functions from higher headquarters. These functions may include electronic warfare, computer network operations, psychological operations, and counter-propaganda based on METT-TC considerations. The Non-Lethal Element integrates and synchronizes these augmentation assets with reconnaissance and surveillance operations and the maneuver plan.

6. FIRE SUPPORT ORGANIZATION: Fire support organizations that are organic to each combined-arms infantry battalion and the RSTA squadron support the 4th BCT BFC. Each infantry battalion and the Recon squadron have an FSE. Infantry companies and RECCE troops each have FIST. Infantry Company FIST includes platoon forward observers for each of their three platoons. 4th BCT fire support organizations subordinate to the BFC are depicted below:

Chapter 2: TF Fury Targeting Duties and Responsibilities: 1. TF Fury BCT Commander: The BCT commander directs the targeting effort. Before preparation of formal running estimates, guidance and direction is provided on the following 1) State the expectation for the command. 2) Establish the what, when, and why to accomplish the mission. 3) Intent for shaping the battlefield in terms of time and space. 4) Identify the critical enemy vulnerability that will lead most directly to accomplishing the mission. 5) Stress the time and place as critical element during the battle. 6) State the desired end state respecting time, force, enemy, and terrain. 7) Establish guidance for units having priority of fires. 8) Identify high-value targets and state the desired effects. 9) BDA requirements. 10) State the rules of engagement and commanders intent. A) With this information, the staff prepares formal estimates. After presentation of these estimates, the commander refines the previous guidance. Who approves the HPTL developed by his brigade FSO, S-3, and S-2, or amends the list and approves it. HPT that cannot be acquired or attacked with BCT assets are forwarded to the division targeting working group for consideration. The brigade FSO develops the attack guidance and submits it to the commander for approval. As the battle progresses and more information become available, the commander may have to change his guidance to react to changes. 2. BCT Deputy Commander: The BCT deputy commander is second in command of the BCT and is prepared to assume command at any time necessary. The role, responsibilities, and authority vary based on the commanders desires, the BCT mission, and the scope and complexity of the operations conducted by the brigade. The

BCT commander delegates responsibility to his deputy commander for specific areas and/or functions, and the authority necessary to control them in order to extend the commanders span of control. 3. Brigade Fire Support Coordinator (FSCOORD): Overall responsible for the integration of all fires and effects into the Commanders concept of operation. A) Training the BFC to perform all of its functions. B) Participating in the MDMP. C) Facilitating the Brigade Targeting process D) Directing and supervising the BFC to develop products required to support OPORD development and the MDMP. 4. BCT Excutive Officer: The BCT executive officer is the commanders principal staff leader. Who directs, coordinates, supervises, trains, and synchronizes the work of the staff, ensuring efficient and prompt staff actions. The commander normally delegates executive management authority (equivalent to command of the staff) to the executive officer for the coordinating and special staff. These decisions often include modifications to targeting products. Decisions normally include approving or modifying A) HPTL/refinements. B) Targeting synchronization matrix. C) BCT focus for fire support. D) Air support request/joint air support request for air interdiction and close air support or the refinement of those previously submitted. E) Attack plan/refinements. F) Fragmentary orders. G) Measures of performance (MOP) and measures of effectiveness (MOE) for scalable fires. H) Fire support tasks. I) Inform and influence tasks. J) EW tasks. 5. BCT S-2 Intelligence Officer: Task Force Fury S-2 is responsible for preparing the ISR plan and maintains information on the current enemy situation. The role provides assessment of possible enemy actions, provides analyses, and identifies targets based on the BCT commanders guidance. Specific targeting responsibilities include A) Developing target arrays. B) Providing enemy capabilities and projected courses of action. C) Providing intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) products to the targeting working group. D) Developing high-value targets (HVT) in coordination with staff.

E) Determining which HPT can be acquired with organic assets. F) Developing support requests for acquiring HPT beyond the capabilities of organic assets. G) Coordinating the collection and dissemination of targeting information with the targeting officers in the fires cell. H) Developing and supervising implementation of the ISR plan. I) Advising the S-3 about assessment collection capabilities. J) Coordinating with the brigade FSO for indirect fires to support the ISR plan. K) Participate in the dissemination and early planning process of rules of engagement. L) The BCT S-2 must inform other BCT staff personnel, the field artillery S-2, and task force S-2 of the following 1) Target arrays. 2) Enemy capabilities and projected course of action (COA). 3) The civilian situation (in the absence of the S-9). 4) HVT. M) To do this, the S-2 leads the staff IPB, by using the tools of target value analysis, and applies what he knows about the enemy situation. This provides a base of HVT that is adjusted according to current enemy dispositions and composition. N) After the HPTL is approved and prioritized, the S-2 determines which targets can be acquired with organic, attached or assets in support of the BCT. Targets that cannot be acquired at brigade level are translated into requests for information from higher headquarters. O) The BCT S-2 coordinates with the fires battalion S-2, targeting officer, and task force intelligence officers for the collection and distribution of targeting information. This includes production of the TSS matrix for target acquisition assets supporting the BCT. The S-2 also plans and supervises an aggressive collection effort focused on the BCT HPT, priority intelligence requirements (PIR), and intelligence requirement. P) The S-2 must inform the other members of the staff when major changes in the tactical situation warrant reevaluation of the HPTL. After the S-3 and brigade FSO state requirements for timeliness and accuracy, the S-2 must translate these into collection tasking. The S-2 must work closely with the brigade FSO and S-3 to decide which targets are best suited for coordinated attack. A coordinated attack may involve a combination of a wide array of attack methods, to include 1) Destructive methods. 2) Electronic monitoring. 3) Offensive EW. 4) Deception to enhance the effectiveness of the attack. Q) The S-2 must also advise the S-3 on BDA collection capabilities. R) The S-2 is relied on significantly by the S-3 to assist him in the development of a comprehensive ISR plan. The plan must tell commanders what they need to know in time

for them to act. It is commander oriented and commander directed. The ISR plan will answer the commander's PIR by tasking appropriate assets to gather information. It will also ensure that observers are focused on designated named area of interest to facilitate the targeting effort. The BCT S-2 and the brigade FSO will coordinate indirect fires planned to support ISR assets. (See Field Manual Interim (FMI) 2-01for additional information.) 6. BCT S-3 Operations Offcier: The BCT S-3 must work closely with the BCT S-2 and brigade FSO to prioritize the HPTL before its approval by the commander. Priorities should address the following A) When the targets should be engaged. B) The desired effect on the target. C) Those target types that should be attacked immediately. D) The decision to designate a target type for immediate attack is especially critical. Assets are diverted from a mission in progress to attack that target type. E) The S-3 is responsible for giving a detailed interpretation of the commander's concept of the operation to all personnel engaged in brigade-level targeting. The guidance that results from this interpretation must specify the targets that the commander feels are most important and the targets that pose the greatest threat to the mission. The S-3 should specify the desired effects on the target when they are different from those recommended by the brigade FSO or S-2. The where or when HPT should be attacked for the greatest benefit to the friendly operation. The S-3 or brigade FSO must coordinate with division for those targets that are important to the BCT. Although the emphasis is on HPT, other targets of lower priority also may be attacked. F) The BCT S-3s specific targeting responsibilities include 1) Working with the S-2 and brigade FSO to prioritize the HPTL before approval by the commander. 2) Synchronizing fires, intelligence, and airspace requirements with maneuver operations. 3) Determining the targets to be attacked immediately and desired effects. 4) Providing a detailed interpretation of the commanders concept of the operation. 5) Providing guidance about which targets are most important to the commander. 6) Deciding when and where targets should be attacked. 7) Periodically reassessing the HPTL, TSS, AGM, targeting synchronization matrix, MOP, MOE, and fire support tasks with the brigade FSO and S-2. 8) Determining with the brigade FSO and S-2 if an attack resulted in the desired effects or if additional attacks are required. 9) Coordinate the dissemination and early planning process of rules of engagement. 7. FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATOR: The BCT organic fires battalion commander is the fire support coordinator. The fire support coordinator is the BCT commanders primary

advisor for planning and employing the field artillery assets. Additional responsibilities include integrating all scalable fires for his mission. 8. BCT FIRE SUPPORT OFFICER: The brigade FSO is the senior field artillery staff officer at brigade level and permanently assigned full-time liaison between the FA battalion and the brigade headquarters. He works closely with the DS FA Battalion Commander to ensure mutual understanding of all aspects of fires and effects planning, coordination and execution in support of the brigade. The FSO represents the DS FA Battalion Commander when he is not available. This position is responsible for all scalable fires planning and execution. A) The brigade FSO plans and coordinates the fires warfighting function for BCT operations. The position works closely with the executive officer and S-3 to ensure mutual understanding of all aspects of fire support assessment, planning, preparation, and execution for BCT operations. Responsibilities are to assist as needed in planning, during the transition to execution, and flowing smoothly into execution. The brigade FSO finalizes the attack guidance formulated by the BCT commander and chairs the targeting working group. His targeting specific actions are 1) Advising the Brigade Commander and staff of available fires and effects capabilities and limitations. 2) Overseeing overall targeting execution. 3) Ensuring all aspects of targeting are addressed and understood during the targeting process (task, purpose, location sensor/back-up, fire mission thread, rehearsal, delivery asset, and assessment). 4) Developing and updating targeting products including fire support tasks, HPTL, TSS, AGM, targeting synchronization matrix, sensor-shooter matrix, MOP, and MOE for scalable fires. 5) Conducting assessment in conjunction with the S-2 and S-3. 6) Preparing the fire support execution matrix. 7) Ensuring subordinate battalion FSO and fires cells fully understand target execution responsibilities and planning fire support in accordance with the BCT commanders top down fire plan. 8) Establishing target refinement standards to facilitate completion of the fire support plan prior to execution. 9) Consolidating target refinements and planned targets from the subordinate battalion/squadron FSO, fires cells, and resolving duplications. 10) Providing target refinement to higher headquarters for established division, corps, and theater army targets. 11) Coordinating requests for additional fire support from subordinate battalion/squadron FSO and fires cells. 12) Coordinating support for subordinate unit attack requirements. 13) Coordinating suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), joint suppression of enemy air defense (J-SEAD), and joint air attack team operations.

14) Receiving assessment reports and, with the S-2 and S-3, determining if an attack resulted in the desired effects, or if additional attacks are required. 15) Formulating the re-attack recommendation. 16) Ensuring target nominations are validated, processed, and updated to achieve the desired effect using joint air assets. 17) Coordinating with the air component air liaison officer on use of tactical air assets. 18) Coordinating with the air component air liaison officer on use of tactical air assets. 19) Briefing the Brigade Commander to get his approval of the concept for fires and effects. 9. ASSISTANT FIRE SUPPORT OFFICER: The Assistant Fire Support Officer (AFSO) acts as a liaison between the lethal and non-lethal cells. He also is the conduit in which the subordinate units and BDE pass non-lethal plans and assessments. He helps plan, coordinate, and execute the effects planned by the non-lethal cell and ensures they are nested with the overall commanders intent. The AFSO also is the leader of BDE Assessments Team and ensures accurate AO assessments are included in the MDMP process. He works closely with the FSCOORD for the overall operation of the BFC. 10. BCT TARGETING OFFICER: The targeting officer in the fires cell facilitates the exchange of information among the military intelligence companys analysis and control team, BCT S-2, and subordinate fires cells.

The FO may direct CAS in emergencies when no JTAC is available. Chapter 3: TARGETING PROCESS 1. TARGETING OBJECTIVE TERMINOLOGY: The objective of targeting must focus assets on enemy capabilities that could interfere with the achievement of friendly objectives. Terms such as limit, disrupt, delay, divert, or damage are used to describe the effects of attack on the enemy capabilities. They relate to the task and purpose for attacking a target, and should not be confused with the terms harass, suppress, neutralize, or destroy. These terms are used to determine the degree of damage or duration of effects on a specific target. The targeting process is based on the D3A functions (decide, detect, deliver, and assess) performed by the commander and his staff in planning and executing targeting. This process organizes the efforts of the commander and staff to accomplish key targeting requirements. The targeting process supports the brigade commanders desired end state and operational objectives. It helps the targeting team decide which targets must be acquired and attacked and which attack option should be used to engage the targets. The D3A functions are not phased or sequenced, and they frequently occur simultaneously throughout planning and execution. As an example, based on information received through detect, deliver, or assess actions, decisions may be reconsidered and revised. Detection efforts often begin concurrently with decision processes, as key information is required to support the decision making process.

2. Staff Targeting is the fusion of intelligence, and operations centric to operational needs and the commanders intent. Using a comprehensive approach to planning targeting encompassing the overall influence a tactical unit has on its operational environment. Targeting takes a holistic approach to the units area of influence. The process is laid out in four cyclic nodes Assessments, Planning, Coordinating and Execution. Throughout each phase the overall targeting process follows a natural decision making order and transition seamlessly into operations while maintaining enduring assessments.

PLANS

A) The purpose of the holistic target methodology is to enable all Warfighting Functions, whether Division, Brigade, or Battalion, to systematically engage a target in order to achieve a desired, measurable, and sustainable effect on the operational environment. Holistic targeting is specifically designed to focus all Warfighting Functions in order to ensure target engagement is made on all facets that affect the system and will achieve long term and sustainable effects.

3. TACTICAL PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS (Targeting): The targeting process provides an effective method for matching the friendly force capabilities against antigovernmental factors and the enemies of the afghan people. Lethal targets are best addressed with operations to kill, damage, disrupt, or capture; nonlethal targets are best engaged with civil-military operations, inform and influence activities, negotiation, political programs, economic programs, social programs, and other noncombat methods. In a counter insurgency operations, nonlethal targets are just as important as lethal targets and the targeting is frequently directed toward nonlethal options. However TF Fury will conduct Critical Complex Problem Solving with the tendronic template provided by Fury 6. A) A very important part of the targeting process is the identification of potential fratricide situations and the necessary coordination measures to positively manage and control the attack of targets. These measures are incorporated in the coordinating instructions and appropriate annexes of the operation plan (OPLAN) and/or operation order (OPORD). B) Targeting is a dynamic process. The process must keep up with the constant changing within area of operations. The tools and products described in this chapter must be updated based on combat assessment and situation understanding. Remember also, that the targeting process is repetitive. It is very seldom that decisions are made without any information from a previous targeting cycle. Intelligence from external agencies or intelligence previously generated internally feeds the decision-making. C) The Armys targeting process comprises the following four functions 1) Decide which targets to engage. 2) Detect the targets. 3) Deliver (conduct the operation). 4) Assess the effects of the operation. D) The first step in the Tactical Problem Solving is framing the operational environment and problem set. This process begins with the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield. Intelligence operations generally include five functions; plan, prepare, collect, process, and produce with three additional common task to analyze, disseminate and assess. The intelligence process is critical because it is what will drive the tactical problem solving process, however all war-fighting functions must also conduct an assessment of the AO, and assessments utilizing the PMESII (Political, Military, Economy, Social, Infrastructure, and Information) framework. 1) BCT AOR ASSESSMENT: The battle staff refines the running estimates against the objectives of the commanders campaign plan. Staff estim ates and AOR assessments should develop the threats to stability in the area of responsibility, including factors that increase and decrease the likelihood of conflict. The assessment should strive to determine the key impediments to achieving mission success. There may be instability based on tribal competition, conflict perpetrated by criminal or insurgent activities, or weak local institutions that prevent effective extension of the national government. This assessment provides a common operational picture in the province that will shape, sequence,

and focus their efforts towards achieving the commanders end state and objectives. 2) PMESII Working Group: This assessment is usually concerned with external reporting and may or may not be used to drive the next periods of the Targeting Priorities.

4. The Combined Assessments Working Group (AWG) is the first of three core meetings in the targeting process before the Decision Brief for the Commander and this is the meeting from which the majority of a units targets are identified for further development. The primary purpose of the Assessment Working Group is to conduct a formal assessment of the operational environment. This working group assesses the effectiveness of the targets as engaged during the last 24 hours of the targeting period and operations; nominates targets, objectives and priorities for engagement or reengagement based on full spectrum analysis against TF FURY CAMPLAN (LOE), PMESII and MOE/MOP. Two parts 1) staff AWG and 2) Brief to Fury 6 the results of the AWG (OE assessment, recommended High Value Target, High Payoff Target, High Value Individuals, Information Requirements and adjustments to the campaign plan/LOE objectives/MOE/MOP).. While all staff officers are responsible for conducting assessments and maintaining running estimates, there is little doctrine formalizing the process. AWGs are a vital component of future-operations. See the below figure. 1) Homework includes: (a) Assessment from previously executed targeting cycle (b) TF PMESII/LOE/AO assessments (briefed by TF CDRs at CUB and products from TF staffs). Produced by collating TF assessments in PMESII/LOE WGs. (c) Assessments from PRT, ANSF and GIRoA counterparts. (d) Updated Running Estimate (RE) by WFF. (e) Compare to assessment from previous targeting cycle to see what changed and why. Identify gaps in progress along Fury LOEs. This should yield recommended Spartan target(s).

(f) WFFs come to the meeting prepared to brief/discuss their part of the assessment and nominate targets. 2) Execution of the Briefing: (a) Brief your part of the assessment focus on the analysis and so whatpaint the picture for the DCO on how you arrived at your target nomination (if you have one). 3) Receive DCOs prioritized planning guidance for the targeting cycle.The Quad Chart below demonstrates at a minimum what is discussed throughout the CAWG;

6. COA Synch Working Group (War-Game): The brigade DCO chairs the COA Synch working group and is responsible for keeping it focused. The DCO opens each session of the targeting working group by conducting a roll call, and then briefly explains its purpose. This position prepares, and describes the agenda and specifies the time period to be addressed. The DCO is the arbitrator of any disagreements that may arise and ensures the session stays on track with the stated purpose and consistent with the BCT commanders guidance and intent. The brigade DCO actions empower the targeting working group to make adjustment within their area of expertise. Maximum participation by the staff is essential. Staff members and warfighting function representatives must share their expertise and respective running estimate information on the capabilities and limitations of both friendly and enemy systems. They should also

consider providing redundant means, if feasible, to decide, detect, deliver, and assess (D3A) targets. Upon completion of the COA Synch working group session, the commander is briefed on the results. The purpose of COA Synch Working Group is to Synchronize the BCT targets individually, against each other and against enduring operations. The required resources are the following: 1) Results of TDM 2) Updated CONOP/baseball cards. 3) Updated synch matrix for each target. 4) Draft OPSYNCH Matrix. 5) Draft CCIR/IR and DSM for each target. 6) Running Estimate. 7) Results of coordination made with ANSF, GIRoA (DG), TFs and PRT. H) Execution of the COA Synch Working Group: 1) War-game each target (as necessary). 2) War-game targets collectively against each other and against enduring operations to determine prioritization, allocation and synchronization of assets. 3) No different than FM 5-0 COA Analysis (war-game). I) Post COA Synch Working Group: 1) Prepare input to targeting FRAGO 2) Create DSM for each target and overall for targeting cycle (as necessary). 3) Finalize ISR plan ISO CCIR/IR and DSM. 4) Issue WARNO 3.

5) Execute a Decision Brief to BCT CDR. 6) Issue Targeting Cycle FRAGO. J) Post Tactical Problem Solving Cycle FRAGO: 1) Coordinate and track resources/enabler requests. 2) Insure effective handoff to Current OPS for execution. 7. Decision Brief: The Decision Brief is where maximum participation by the staff is essential. Staff members and Warfighting Function representatives must share their expertise and respective staff estimate information on the capabilities and limitations of both friendly and enemy systems. They should also consider providing redundant means, if feasible, to detect, deliver, and assess targets. Preparation is key to the successful conduct of the Tactical Problem Solving Process. Each representative must come to the meeting prepared to discuss available assets, capabilities, limitations, and BDA related to their Warfighting Function. This means participants must conduct detailed coordination prior to the meeting and be prepared to provide input and/or information. Working group products include; Update HPTL, TSS, AGM, and observer overlay. These, with data from the ISR plan may be combined into a unit specific targeting synchronization matrix, Updated fire support tasks, Update tasking(s) to

subordinate units and assets. The S-3 should prepare and issue a fragmentary order to subordinate elements to execute the planned attack and assessment of targets developed by the targeting working group. Update ISR plan. The S-2 reorients his acquisition assets and updates and disseminates the ISR plan. The Combined Targeting Working Group is intended to brief the Commander on the Targets that were identified during the ISR sync meeting, CAWG and ultimately his approval of the targets and COAs. Staff audience is the same as for the Decision Brief and will be prepared to brief the commander on WARFIGHTING FUNCTION specific requirements. This meeting may also be a Fury 6 desk side brief based on the Commanders schedule. 8. TARGETING BATTLE RHYTHM: The below table depicts the essential meetings that the brigade will establish to complete the targeting process within the current operating environment. The targeting process is a one week cycle beginning on Monday with the Combined Assessments Working Group and ending on Saturday with the COA Synch Working Group and a FRAGO being published. Individual Task Forces will have scheduled weekly one on one targeting meetings with the BDE targeting staff. Below are a few examples.

8. One on One TF Targeting meeting: This is an informal meeting that allows task force

FSEs to pass both lethal and non-lethal targeting information up to the BDE targeting cell. This is also the forum where the requests for information or support can be passed between organizations. It is through these meetings that much of the information driving the targeting process gets passed. 9. ISR Synch meeting: This meeting is chaired by the BCT S2 and will include the BFC and other Warfighting function sections as needed. The decide function provides the overall focus, identifies targeting requirements, and sets the initial priorities and planning for ISR activities that support the detect function, the attack methodology (for example, delivery means and methods, effects criteria, timing/synchronization issues) involved in the delivery function, and C2/BDA/RSTA issues in the assess function. The targeting effort must support the overall plan, including each phase, major event, and EFST. The decide function should answer the following questions: A) What targets should be acquired and attacked? B) When and where are the targets likely to be found? C) How long will the target remain once acquired? D) Who or what can locate the targets? E) What accuracy of target location will be required to attack the target? F) What are the priorities for RSTA objectives and asset allocation? G) What priority intelligence requirements (PIRs) are essential to the targeting and attack functions and how and by when must the information being obtained, processed, and disseminated? H) When, where, how, and in what priority should the targets be attacked? I) What are the effects criteria that must be achieved to attack the target successfully? J) Who or what can attack the targets, and how should the attack be conducted (for example, number/type of attack elements, ammunition) to maximize effects and resources based on commanders guidance? K) What or who will obtain the BDA or other information required determining the success or failure of each attack? Who must receive and process that information, how rapidly, and in what format? L) Who has the decision-making authority to determine success or failure, and how rapidly must the decision be made and disseminated? M) What actions will be required if an attack is unsuccessful and who has the authority to direct those actions? N) The commander approves the attack guidance as recommended by the staff. The guidance should detail the following: 1) When to attack, how to attack, and the desired effects of attack. 2) Any special instructions. 10. FRAGO/OPORD Production: The weekly FRAGO is the final step of the Tactical Problem Solving Process and will include tasks to subordinate units that were identified during the tactical problem solving process. Also included in the FRAGO will be any charts (ie ESM). OPORD Production will be managed by the BDE S3 with the final approval from the FSCOORD prior to turning in all Annexes to the brigade XO.

Chapter 4: Counter-Fire Operations

1. General: Enemy FS systems can inflict serious damage on friendly maneuver forces, FS systems, and supporting infrastructure. Therefore, the enemys FS system must be eliminated as a viable threat. As such, counterfire is a vital consideration for both maneuver and FA commanders. Counterfire should be integrated into the brigade commanders battle plans and not fought as a separate battle. 2. Counterfire must destroy, neutralize, or suppress enemy weapons and supporting C2, communications to gain increased freedom of action and protection for supported maneuver commanders. To accomplish this, commanders must employ all suitable counterfire capabilities available to the combined arms team. Intelligence and attack assets (such as FA, mortars, CAS, attack helicopters, NSFS, and EW) must be brought to bear on the total enemy FS system. 3. During the offense, counterfire is initially focused on enemy long-range weapon systems to enable friendly forces to generate the necessary momentum without being subject to enemy artillery. 4. In the defense, counterfire should be focused on enemy artillery formations that are supporting ground attacks and on counterfire systems. Counterfire TA and attack systems should be positioned to range the most likely avenues of approach where the enemy can be expected to concentrate his indirect fire weapons. Available assets should be emplaced for maximum lateral and in-depth coverage. 5. The figure that follows depicts the Brigades Counterfire battle drill for use during operations in Afghanistan.

6. RADAR ZONES: Search zones prioritize processing of acquisitions and provide the reaction posture of the radars to best meet the maneuver commanders intent. Each Firefinder radar can store up to nine different zones. There are four different types of zones used with the radar: the CFZ, the CFFZ, the artillery target intelligence zone (ATIZ), and the censor zone (CZ). Each zone is discussed below. A) CRITICAL FRIENDLY ZONE: The critical friendly zone (CFZ) designates the highest priority friendly locations of the maneuver commander and provides the most responsive priority of fires from the radars. Cued radars detecting incoming rounds into this zone immediately generate a priority request for fire. FSCOORDs recommend to maneuver commanders positioning of CFZs and their size for best responsiveness. Typical CFZs include maneuver assembly areas, HQ, FARPs, friendly breaching sites, and other troop concentrations. B) CALL-FOR-FIRE ZONE: The call-for-fire zone (CFFZ) designates a search area beyond the FLOT that the maneuver commander wants suppressed or neutralized. The CFFZ designation is closely tied to the IPB process. A CFFZ would likely be a suspected enemy artillery position. The CFFZ provides the second most responsive priority for fires from the radar. C) ARTILLERY TARGET INTELLIGENCE ZONE: An artillery target intelligence zone (ATIZ) enables a maneuver commander to watch an area closely while assigning higher priority to more important areas. Targets identified in this zone are evaluated for attack as they are received, but they do not automatically generate a fire mission. D) CENSOR ZONE: A censor zone (CZ) is used to designate areas from which the commander does not want to attack targets. This zone is often used to avoid overlap and duplication. E) COMMON SENSOR BOUNDARY: Target duplication between Firefinder radars is likely during combat operations. In addition, the sheer volume of targets being passed from the radars will overwhelm the targeting element, especially if the radars are under centralized control. An effective method of reducing the duplication of these targets for attack is to establish a common sensor boundary (CSB) for CFZs. The CSB is a line established by the lowest common headquarters that divides TA areas of search into close and deep areas for the Q-36 and Q-37, respectively. The CSB is established by designating a line beyond which no CFFZs for the Q-36 would be established. The Q-37 would not establish any CFFZs short of this line. All radars could process targets generated for attack from their CFFZs through the same or different HQ. Some targets may still be duplicated. When the radars are used in this way, the maximum range capabilities of the radars are not restricted. The CSB is not an FSCM, although the CSB may coincide with a CFL. The CSB is only a tool used by FA TA controlling HQ to maximize effectiveness of radars. 1) In determining the placement of the CSB, factors considered are: (a) Range of the FA attack systems. (b) Available attack assets. (c) Effective ranges of TA assets. (d) Likely enemy indirect fire weapon deployment areas developed through thorough IPB.

(e) Availability of ammunition. (f) When a radar is required to move for survivability, the CSB may have to be adjusted to ensure optimum radar coverage. For example, if the Q-36 moves, the Q-37 will have to cover the Q-36 area of responsibility until the Q-36 is in position. Chapter 6: BFC Battle Drills: The below battle drills are extracted from the TF Fury SOP. Only the battle drills that affect the BFC are included in this SOP. Information Operations battledrills are located in Chapter 6.

Chapter 6: Military Information Support Operations (MISO) 1. Purpose A) This provides a description of the Information Operations Cell, its responsibilities, and procedures. IO spans the entire spectrum from peace, to crisis, to conflict, to restoration. All efforts executed by the IO cell must be synchronized within the 4th Brigade and coordinated with the supported combatant commanders overarching IO policies and guidance. B) The IO cell is organized to ensure that a broad range of IO actions and activities are integrated into the brigade campaign/operation plan, synchronized with ongoing or planned operations, and contributing to the Brigade Commanders desired end state in the combined joint operations area (CJOA) and the Brigade Area of Responsibility (BAOR). The structure of the IO cell must be sufficiently flexible to support both crisis and deliberate planning, and the range of military operations at every level of war. IO is an integrating strategy that must address the disciplines outlined in FM 313 and JP 3-13. 2. Organization and Battle Rhythm: The IO Cell is chaired by the IO Officer and is composed of representatives from the Non-Lethal Fires Section of the Fires Effects Coordination Cell. It is responsible to the BFC Chief for continuous planning, integration, de-confliction, monitoring, and assessment of Non Lethal Fires within the BAOR; coordination of tactical IO issues with the combatant command IO cell; and integration of IO targeting concerns into the planning and execution cycle of the Effects

Based Targeting Process. IO related guidance will address targeting (electronic support [ES], electronic attack [EA], physical destruction, and special information operations [SIO]), MISO, and military deception [MILDEC]). Elements of the Non- Lethal Fires Section are: A) INFORMATION OPERATIONS OFFICER (IO) B) CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICER (CAO) C) ELECTRONIC WARFARE OFFICER (EWO) D) PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER (PAO) E) TARGETING WARRANT OFFICER F) Military Information Support Operations (MISO) 3. During the deliberate planning process the Brigade Commander will also establish an Information Operations Working Group (IOWG). The purpose of the IOWG is bring all the core and supporting components of Information Operations together in order to develop a cohesive and consistent long range IO plan that supports the commanders operational campaign plan. The IOWG is chaired by the IO Officer, but may be directly supervised by the BFC chief based on the current operational environment. Members of the IOWG include the members of the IO Cell, as well representatives from the following sections at a minimum. A) S-2 B) S-3 PLANS C) S-4 D) SUBORDINATE FSOS OR LNOS E) REPRESENTATIVES FROM MISSON CRITICAL UNITS OR AGENCIES During continuous operations the IO Cell will support the battle by sending representatives to various staff meetings and working groups to facilitate the targeting of non-lethal fires and the coordination of themes and messages in support of the Brigade Commanders intent. 4. Tasks and Functions: The cell meets with all its working group members as required to capture the expertise of representatives from across the staff and to deconflict and coordinate operations. The IO cell is represented by one or more watch standers in the TOC to monitor current operations and to provide situational awareness. Specific IO cell functions include: A) Coordinates (or is responsible for) the overall IO effort for. B) Coordinate, integrate, and synchronize the IO plan, which will be fully integrated with the campaign/operation plan. Specific deliverables include: 1) Annex P, Appendices and Tabs. To ensure full IO planning and integration, the IO appendix will contain information that introduces or references PA, CMO/CA, physical destruction, force protection, and other tabs/annexes that contain IO requirements (for example; ROE, space operations, rear area operations, etc). Appendices to Annex P will include: 1-Psychological Operations, 2- Military Deception, 3-EW. Additional tabs may be included covering other specific IO capabilities, techniques, or considerations. Likewise, to ensure cross-reading

of the operation plan/order, the IO planner will ensure that all appendixes, annexes, and tabs with IO requirements/capabilities reference the IO Appendix. Intelligence specific to IO (this may include IO estimates) will be contained in a separate paragraph(s) with an IO header in Annex B, Intelligence, Appendix 1, Priority Information Requirements. Intelligence should be a one-stop-shop. 2) Daily IO Brief / Sitrep. It will be prepared by the IO cell and presented to the at the battle update brief. Briefing topics may include IO MOE, any IO augmentation slides, adjustments to IO themes, messages (both PA and MISO), target audiences, significant IO events, counters to adversary IO initiatives, political advisor issues, etc. will cover activity during the past 24 hours and activities planned during the next 24 hours. 3) Commanders Intent. IO input to the Commanders Intent is provided through the Mission Analysis / Planning Work Group. C) Develops offensive and defensive IO concepts to support the concept of operations through staff interaction within the Mission Analysis / Planning Work Group. D) Coordinates component plans in accordance with the IO related objectives. E) Advises on target IO effects in Targeting Working Group deliberations. F) Ensures IO elements of the operation are synchronized and deconflicted with other brigade operations to include CMO/CA and PA. G) Coordinates consolidated intelligence support to all elements of IO. H) Coordinates with the SJA to request additions and modifications to existing ROE to facilitate execution of IO elements of the campaign/operation plan. 5. Procedures: A) Military Information Support Operations (MISO) 1) MISO Message Approval. Approval authority for new MISO messages and themes resides with the Secretary of Defense unless delegated to the combatant commander or the, lower commands as designated in respective OPORDS. Message approval will never be authorized below brigade level. The JPOTF develops themes and will advise regarding delivery vehicles. 2) MISO Theme Deconfliction. The MISO officer in the IO cell must be extremely familiar with combatant command PA guidance (PAG) and the Theater Security Cooperation plan for the target of interest, and must work with the PA representative to the IO cell to remain current regarding the PAG. This officer and the JPOTF element must deconflict differences in PAG and MISO themes, and also must coordinate with public diplomacy. 3) MISO Product Delivery. MISO products in the CJOA can be delivered via numerous means including leaflet bombs and airborne delivery, SOMS-B broadcasts, face to face engagements, and hand-delivered handbills; all require high levels of coordination. Components with MISO capability should coordinate with the BAE for airborne delivery of MISO products and incorporation into the ATO/ITO. It is important to note that a commander having product approval does not mean that the commander has approval for product dissemination. B) MILITARY DECEPTION (MILDEC)

1) Coordinate with the S-3 cell for all proposed MILDEC operations. 2) Establish the process by which component tactical deception initiatives will be coordinated with S-3 cell through the brigade. 3) Ensure collection management is applied in coordinating collection support to deception operations. 4) Develops points of contact at all components for deception planning and execution. These contacts must be made as early as possible in the planning stage of the operation and contacted frequently throughout the process. C) INTELLIGENCE PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT 1) Defensive. The IO cell needs to know adversary IO attack capabilities (if any) to facilitate information assurance programs. It is imperative that the IO cell submits intelligence requirements as early as possible after establishment. Suggested intelligence requirements are as follows: (a) Identify and monitor adversary IO attack capabilities to influence decision processes, assess intent, and characterize their potential employment against the brigade. Determine capabilities to be used, originating or sponsoring entity, and desired end state. (b) Determine adversary IO attack capabilities and actions to degrade, deny, destroy, or influence decision processes, communications, computer networks, or any other infrastructure element. (c) Upon recognizing an IO attack against the brigade from any source; identify the originator, assess the threat, and monitor other potential avenues of attack for indications of a broader IO objective (e.g., a concurrent press campaign, denial and deception, etc.). The level of perceived threat from a particular country or non-state entity will establish the intelligence priority. 2) Offensive. The IO cell requires intelligence to support planning and executing offensive IO to include efforts to shape and influence perceptions, CNA, or other COAs taken against adversaries. To be successful, any IO attack must be part of the campaign/operation plan. The IO cell must be able to define joint campaign objectives for IO attacks; and monitor, synchronize, coordinate, and integrate component activities for identifying target and target access, assessing the targets vulnerabilities, selecting the optimum IO attack, and providing BDA to determine the degree of success and follow-on COAs. Suggested intelligence requirements are as follows: (a) Determine adversary decision processes, associated personnel and organizations, and how they may be influenced. Develop detailed biographies on the personnel involved and identify human factors that may influence their decision process. (b) Identify national-level military issues and social factors (political, economic, societal, and cultural), including the interaction between political and military organizations/decision-makers and military COAs. (c) Identify communication methods to include, but not limited to, flow of information, links, nodes, media, and other interactions. Develop capabilities that will allow access and the ability to influence processes to support

command IO objectives. (d) Determine target-level IO awareness to include technical capabilities, IO technical associations (between people, organizations, governments), and available hardware and software. Determine the means to facilitate influencing these areas. 3) Other Considerations. In addition to the defensive and offensive intelligence requirements shown above, the following suggestions may be of value to the IO cell: (a) Identify and monitor adversary IO attack capabilities to influence decision processes that include communications and CNAs, denial and deception, economic or political initiatives, and press operations. Assess intent to use such capabilities, and characterize their employment against brigade decision processes in terms of methods used, and desired end state. (b) Determine which local, national, and international media are providing information to the populace. Determine capabilities (print, radio, TV, methods of acquiring and transferring data) and identify vulnerabilities and threats to the flow of information. D) PA. While it is important to remember that PA cannot be used to disseminate MISO themes propaganda that are intended to deceive the recipient, PA is an excellent vehicle to accomplish perception management with the intent of influencing the US public or elected leaders, PA operations influence audiences through spotlighting issues and projecting the truth. PA can only tell the truth. It is acceptable, however, for PA to emphasize stories and communications points that support the commanders objectives. The IO cell must be able to define campaign objectives for IO attacks, and synchronize, coordinate, and integrate component activities. Close care must be taken not to violate the legal constraints placed upon PA officers. Commanders and planners must insure PA and MISO are not used in ways that violate federal law. 6. Considerations: A) Many scenarios involving the employment of the brigade will involve coalition partners. Conducting IO with another nation can present classification challenges that must be understood prior to engaging these partners to share information and conduct combined planning. B) The specific manning requirements and number of augmentees to the IO cell should be tailored to meet mission requirements identified in crisis action planning. C) It is imperative that IO initiatives be coordinated and approved as early as possible after the brigade is established. 7. Reports and Products A) Input to the Commanders Daily Guidance and/or SITREP Messages. The IO cell will provide any IO significant activities to the S3 for inclusion in the Commanders Daily SITREP. B) IO Estimate. The IO section initiates development of an IO estimate upon receipt of the mission and develops the estimate throughout the operations process. The IO estimate provides current information and intelligence on the information

environment, as well as friendly and enemy military capabilities and vulnerabilities in the information environment. It is used to evaluate how IO may support friendly force courses of action. C) IO Annex. Annex P, the IO annex is produced by the IO planner as part of the S3 planning effort. The IO annex includes an IO execution matrix that is used by the IO operations officer to track execution of IO tasks. D) IO Execution/Synchronization Matrix. A matrix used by the combatant command staff that contains IO capabilities mapped against themes and objectives, which delineates specific tasks required to support each theme. The combatant command IO staff can provide a copy of this matrix. Because it is utilized as a briefing tool and recognized on the combatant command staff, the COA Matrix is a useful vehicle for combatant command coordination. E) IO Summary Report. A report provided by subordinate units on the status of IO in their respective AORs. The report provides recent significant activities, current and planned operations, asset status, and assessment of IO objectives and key tasks and engagements. F) Talking Point Papers. Talking point papers coordinate the dissemination of messages between subordinate commands or for special engagements by senior leaders. Talking points are tailored appropriately for a particular audience. Talking point documents include a background paragraph explaining each issue, followed by a series of messages for use by soldiers in face-to-face discussions with the local populace, responses to query, and media spots. Talking points are normally approved by the commander and issued in memorandum format as part of a point paper or published as a sub-section (appendix, tab) to a FRAGO. G) IO Synchronization Calendar. The IO cell develops and maintains a synchronization Calendar (Fig 7-G-1 & 2), that depicts the IO events occurring each week. As soon as an event is identified it is added to the calendar in order to synchronize all elements as soon as possible. This matrix provides a visual display of the brigade actions and helps to readily de-conflict IO actions with other operations. Additionally, the IO cell develops and maintains an IO Synchronization Matrix for each operation that is conducted. It is normally attached to the FRAGO and then posted on the IO website. H) Daily Press Analysis Report. This is analysis provided by the PA representative to the IO cell of international, regional, and local media reporting of brigade mission and operations. Recommend utilizing a coalition PA officer if available. I) Daily IO Log. This log is created and maintained (on a 24 hour basis) by the IO cell to record all relevant IO events, documents, taskers, etc. and to ensure continuity of information.

TF Fury regrets the loss of XXXXXX, a great man and leader who worked hard for the betterment of Afghstan / <<Province/District>> TF Fury continues to support the people of Afghanistan/province/district in their struggle of development Our hopes and prayers go out to the families of the individuals killed during recent events. As the IROA brings security and continued to bring progress and infrastructure to the people, the enemy resorts to acts of terror and murder as a desperate attempt to instill fear in all God loving people. We understand that the brave Afghan people who take a stand for hope, opportunity and change put themselves at risk to a cowardly enemy. The great people of Afghanistan have stood against invaders and terrorist before and they have always displayed honor, courage, respect and a wiliness to sacrifice for their people Insurgents employ tactics of terror, relying on fear and intimidation, in hopes of reinserting an oppressive regime such as the Taliban. Establishing a secure Afghanistan through the growth and development of the ANSF and ANP will impede the ability of these terrorist factions from using despicable tactics The terrorist have used all types of equipment and weapons against the legitimate government of Afghanistan and those who support progress, peace and opportunity for all people. We applaud the efforts of the people all the Afghan people who have decided to secure a better tomorrow for their children and grandchildren by turning in insurgents and not allowing criminals to use their villages and towns as support areas and refuge. The recent insurgent incidents simply proves that the presence and positive impact of the government is taking hold and spreading throughout the country. The enemy understands that education, opportunity, security and a voice in government brings fear, intimidation and terror to an end The integrity of LN/HN govt is preserved as well as fears of people that the loss of the Govt official will negatively alter CF Support.

You must remember that the main strategy of the anti-coalition extremists we are fighting is to place innocent civilians in harms way Unfortunately, the Taliban extremists have not only been attacking civilians, but also deliberately placing them in harms way Talking US forces treated (x) number of wounded personnel that were injured as a result of the battle Points We continue to do our best to avoid civilian casualties, but ultimately it is the extremists and terrorist elements, intent on dragging Afghanistan back into chaos, who must be held accountable for endangering the lives and future of the Afghan people Your assistance in identifying anti-coalition / anti-IRoA (enemy) fighters will help prevent this horrible act from reoccurring. The enemies of peace and stability further demonstrate their intentions to kill Afghan civilians and destroy Afghanistan by endangering the lives of innocent civilians Unlike the Extremists that use innocent civilians as shields and place them at risk, Coalition forces do not intentionally target Afghan Civilians and, in fact, do everything possible to prevent these incidents from occuring Endstate: Population understands that CF do not intentionally seek to harm innocent civilians and work with CF/ANSF to separate the Enemy from their base of support.

This incident, once again, demonstrates the cowardly nature of the enemy's actions. They are desperate and they realize that as the ANSF are growing stronger and more stable they cannot successfuly engage them. The government requests the support of the people in stopping and reporting those who would commit such horrible crimes against those who are bringing opportunity and security to the Afghan people and placing all Afgans at risk Insurgents employ tactics of terror, relying on fear and intimidation, in hopes of reinserting an oppressive regime such as the Taliban The enemy is losing; the continued use of these careless weapons of death shows the unwillingness of the enemies of Afghanistan to fight the brave and honorable defenders of the Islamic Republic, your National Security Forces. Continue to turn-in and report the the individuals responsbile for the innocent blood being spread on the soil of Afghanistan. The stains of murder will forever be left behind. Many women and children have been saved thanks to the actions and reporting of true Afghans. The time to act is now! Do not let the enemies of Islam and of Afghanistan take another innocent live (Afghan said)

Talking Points

These act shows the frustration of the enemy as their freedom of movement is limited due to the great efforts of the ANSF Foreign fighters continue to use local Afghans, schooled across boarders, to execute their cowardly ied attacks against their own nation. Do not support foreign insurgent. Establishing a secure Afghanistan through the growth and development of the ANSF will impede the ability of these terrorist factions from the using despicable tactics such as murdering innocent police and civilians helping develop a safe and democratically free Afghanistan Suicide IED: This horrendous act is against the teachings of Islam (Afghan Spoken) Civilian Deaths: The death of even one innocent person at the hands of the insurgents is too many. Our hearts and prayer not only go out to the families of our service members but to the families of the Afghans who are wounded or killed as a result of terrorist and criminal activity Insurgent fighters and their barbaric use of IEDs continue to harm and kill afghan civilians with little to no remorse. While IEDs may harm CF/ANSF they continue to prove devastating to innocent civilians, killing and maiming individuals and tearing families apart.

Endstate

Reduce population's acceptance of the use of IEDs and those that use them. Population reject the enemy's continued practice of placing local civilians in harms way. Increased weapon/IED/Insurgent reporting by LN/HN

Chapter 7: Public Affairs Chapter 8: HUMAN TERRAIN TEAM (HTT) 1. Purpose. This provides a description of the Human Terrain Team (HTT), its composition, mission, duties and responsibilities, and concept of operations. 2. Composition. HTT is a six person element of military and civilian personnel specifically trained in quantitative and qualitative social science research methods and analysis techniques in order to assist the BCT commander and staff negotiate the human terrain in the area of operations. These capabilities do not exist within the organic battalion, brigade combat team or division structures. 3. Mission. The HTT mission is to conduct operationally relevant open-source social science research and provide the BCT commander and staff with the knowledge to establish a coherent, analytic cultural framework for operational planning, decision making and assessment. 4. Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the individual team members are briefly outlined below. A) Team Leader. Reserve component or former military, experienced with advising O6/O5-level commanders with relevant operational and regional experience. B) Research Manager. Reserve component or former military, with an Intelligence, Special Forces and/or Civil Affairs/MISOS background who speaks the regional language. Coordinates research requests with the Research Reachback Cell (RRC) and ensures that all responses are cataloged and tracked for easy retrieval. C) Social Scientist. Anthropologist, Sociologist or International Relations expert with a MA/PhD, preferably with area studies background and regional language capability. Guides the teams research methodology and product compilation. D) Cultural Analyst. Reserve component or former military trained debriefer and data researcher with an Intelligence, Special Forces and/or Civil Affairs/MISOS background, who speaks the regional language. May also be a civilian with appropriate area specific background. E) Staff Liaison. Reserve component or former military officer with the requisite brigade staff level experience to integrate the efforts of the team into the staff. 5. Capabilities. HTT is currently a proof of concept program and standard operating procedures are being developed as the team continues to grow. The HTT does not exclusively focus on culture. Instead, it focuses on all dimensions of population concern; seeking to acquire Afghan voices and perspectives on a broad range of issues. This includes research along all three lines of brigade operations (security, development and governance). 6. Concept of Operations. The HTT provides support to the BCT in several ways. First, HTT participates in operational planning for brigade or battalion level operations in order to provide relevant human terrain information. Second, HTT provides operational support to ongoing brigade operations in order to assess the populations perceptions with regards to brigade objectives (governance, development and security). Third, HTT conducts focused research relative to a specific thematic event which has impact on the brigades objectives. Finally, HTT provides input to routine staff planning sessions. A) Planning Conferences.

1) BCT-ANA Corps Level. The HTT supplies a staff liaison to deploy with the BFC in order to participate in joint BCT-ANA Corps planning conferences. The staff liaison will provide support to and participate in mission analysis, course of action development and wargaming. Human terrain briefing products, principally addressing key population and tribal statistics; key leaders and relevant facts and and key issues for the population will be provided to the BCT and ANA staffs. HTT does not have a direct Afghan counterpart mentoring role; however, should be prepared to provide advice and guidance to both BCT and ANA staff members. 2) BN TF-ANA BDE Level. If the HTT is participating in the BN TF ANA BDE level operation, representatives from the HTT, to include the team leader, will attend the planning conference in order to conduct a pre-assessment of research priorities. The team members will observe and participate in the mission analysis, course of action development and wargaming as well as in the combined arms rehearsal. Concurrent with this participation, the team will conduct interviews with the relevant members of the BN TF to determine the research priorities. Logistical and transportation support requirements will be identified and planned for during this assessment period, as the HTT does not have any organic movement/ security ability. Unit Assessments. B) Operational Support. If the HTT is participating in a BN TF ANA BDE level operation the team will conduct extensive research in order to prepare for the mission and will gather background information in order to address the research priorities identified by the BN TF or the PRT. 1) Forward Deployed Element. During a BN TF ANA BDE level operation, the HTT will deploy in not less than three person teams. The team will include two team members and a dedicated interpreter/cultural advisor. The composition of the team is determined by the research goals and the opportunities available for interaction (e.g. female teams will have access to female populations which male or mixed teams would not). The team will embed with either PRT or maneuver forces and will conduct research in order to meet identified objectives. To minimize risk, active duty team members with appropriate tactical backgrounds will be embedded with the maneuver forces. 2) TOC Support. While the HTT is deployed in support of operations, the staff liaison will remain at the TOC location to support ongoing planning efforts. The staff liaison will provide logistical coordination and support as well as continuing to liaise with the Research Reachback Cell. C) Focused Research. Based on identified brigade priorities and areas of emphasis, the HTT will conduct focused research on a specified subject and will present the findings to the appropriate commander and staff elements. This research could include field research, open-source source research; media analysis; etc. D) Staff Interaction. The HTT will participate in routine staff sessions in order to provide appropriate and relevant human terrain information for consideration. The focus of HTT efforts is on non-kinetic events and engagements. Chapter 9: Civil Military Operations: Task Force Fury Civil-Military Operations Capabilities

Task Force Fury Humanitarian Civic Assistance (HCA/HA) A) Purpose: 1) This SOP defines the scope and responsibilities of TF Fury with regard to facilitation and distribution of Humanitarian Assistance (HA) supplies within the TF Fury Area of Responsibility. This SOP will also provide guidance to subordinate units of TF Fury as they are ultimately responsible for determining their requirements within their respective Areas of Operation (AOs). 2) The Task Force will assist the subordinate battalions in coordinating and distributing HA supplies to their AOs in order to help shape the environment. BDE and subordinate units will continue to issue high impact HA resources based on assessed needs. During the months of October through February, the focus will be on winter relief, while during the months of March through May the focus will be on flood relief. In preparation for both of these time periods, units will be required to begin preparation at least 30 days prior. During all other months units will focus on steady state operations and have enough supplies on hand should a refugee crisis arise or if there are man made or natural disasters. 3) This SOP will cover the following four major areas: 1) Control and Inventory; 2) Distribution; and 3) Measures of Effectiveness (MOE). B) Control and Inventory: 1) The BDE and subordinate units HA sections (S-9) are responsible for maintaining an accurate inventory of all HA on hand and on order using the HA inventory form, or one similar. The BDE HA Manager will be the Responsible Custodian, as are each units HA section (S-9), for processing requests/orders to CJTF-82/CJ9, and disseminating information regarding such orders to the requesting unit (s). The inventory of HA will be listed on the BDE/CA portal and will be updated at least once per month. It is the responsibility of the subordinate units to submit their HA inventories on, or by, the 1st of each month.

a) 1 page of HA request form

st

b) partial page of HA inventory

2) The following are the minimum requirements for control and storage of Humanitarian Assistance (HA). These minimum standards may be exceeded, but not degraded by the Task Force, or its subordinate units. (a) Secure storage space with lock (b) Key Control Log (c) Space (Storage Container/Cage) Entry Log (d) Monthly Spot Inventories (to be sent to TF Fury) (e) Quarterly (3-month) wall-to-wall inventory (f) Wall-to-wall inventory upon relief or turn over of Responsible Custodian

(g) Utilize First-In-First-Out (FIFO) for inventory procedures (h) Inventory Control Officer/ NCO (ICO/ICNCO) shall not be granted unrestricted access to HA 3) The responsibilities of the Responsible Custodian include, but are not limited to the following: (a) Ensure security of storage space (b) Maintain Key Control Log (c) Maintain Space (Storage Container/Cage) Entry Log (d) Conduct monthly Spot Inventories (e) Conduct quarterly wall-to-wall inventory and submit results to the next higher head quarters. (f) Conduct wall-to-wall inventory upon relief or turn over (g) Ensure FIFO is utilized (h) Submit HA inventory on, or by, the 1st of each month to the BDE HA manager. These inventories will be uploaded onto the BDE web portal and saved under Special Staff/ CMO/ HCA. 4) The responsibilities of the Inventory Control Officer/ NCO (ICO/ICNCO), include, but are not limited to: (a) Ensure the proper receipt of HA (b) Ensure the proper distribution of HA (c) Assist with the monthly and quarterly inventories (d) Ensure FIFO is utilized C) Guidelines for HA receipt/issue: 1) The ICO/ICNCO will be the POC for the HA order, and is required to be available when the shipment arrives on location. 2) Once the ICO/ICNCO has received the shipment, observe the truck/seals/locks to ensure they have not been tampered with. 3) The ICO/ICNCO will then conduct a proper inventory on the contents to ensure no pilferage has occurred, and to make note of the additional items for the master inventory. D) Distribution: 1) Distribution of HA is based upon a pull concept of available resources allocated to TF Fury units. 2) TF Fury will endeavor to fill the gaps with available HA resources in strict accordance with the guidelines noted herein. 3) HA will be requested through TF Fury units S-9 sections, to include, or other designated section. 4) PRTs are required to send their requests through their HA representative to the TF Fury HA NCO.

5) It is ideal to coordinate between PRT and MNVR unit to ensure multiple efforts are limited. 6) Each HA representative (PRT and MNVR) will ensure that their respective AOs are prepared for high impact projects, winterization, natural disasters, and unforeseen emergencies. 7) Transportation: Primary transportation of HA will be through local transportation contractors when available. When these normal logistics channels cannot accommodate, an Alternate transportation of HA will be based on immediate needs; HA will be distributed through the best alternative means available, including CDS and LCLA. 8) LCLA Procedures: All LCLA drop requests will be sent to the BDE HCA NCO. Included in the request needs to be amount of HA, reason for request, where drop will occur, and latest possible delivery time. The Sustainment BDE POC needs to be ccd on this request as well so they can begin flight planning and HA materials preparations. After all pertinent information has been received by the BDE HCA NCO he will forward the official request onto the STB POC at FOB Sharana and they will put together the request and get it to the aircraft that will conduct the LCLA. 9) Coordination with MISO, ANA, or ANP should be made prior to distribution of HA to ensure the current themes follow the HA, and that maximum participation is achieved. 10) HA may also be used to assist in endorsing the Government of Afghanistan (GOA) by turning the HA over to the GOA for distribution as appropriate. 3. Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs): A) TF Fury units are encouraged to track HA issued to targeted civil populations so these statistics may be used in determining the efficacy. B) Information Operations (IO) and MISO may also use these statistics to determine product effectiveness. C) The use of ANA and/or ANP is also highly accepted to promote confidence, build relationships, and endorse governing organizations. 4. Alternative Funding Sources: There are three (3) primary alternative funding sources available to both Coalition Forces (CF) and the local populace that can be used in addition to CERP funds for various reconstruction, development, and relief projects (e.g. law and governance, power, agriculture, irrigation, civic and culture, transportation, etc.). A) Grants Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GAGP): The Japanese Embassy will fund projects up to $86,000 in size that are nominated by a non-governmental organization (NGO). The attached flow-chart outlines the project nomination process.

Upon approval of the CDP, an agreement and the community bank and that payment is signed by 1. Electronic Warfare Intent: EW is a force multiplier enhances plan CJTF-82/OCF-A/ISAF the FP the CDC, FP, and RRD of operations and survivability.notifies In order to integrate EW effects with ground scheme
maneuver operations, specific ROE must be followed. 2. Electronic Fires Objectives: A) Degrade adversary ability to use Radio-Controlled IEDs (RCIEDs). B) Deny (degrade or disrupt) adversary command, control and communications (C3) C) Provide MISO/IO broadcast support D) Deceive adversary ISR E) Collect adversary SIGINT on opportunity basis (Non-Traditional ISR) 3. EW Subdivisions: There are three aspects of EW: electronic attack (EA), electronic surveillance (ES), electronic protection (EP). A) Electronic Attack involves the use of electromagnetic energy, directed energy, or

antiradiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability. B) Electronic Surveillance involves actions tasked by, or under direct control of, and operational commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate sources of radiated energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future operations. ES is essentially collecting intelligence against the adversarys electromagnetic assets. C) Electronic Protection involves actions taken to protect personnel, facilities, and equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy use of the electromagnetic spectrum that degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability. EP is essentially how friendly forces protect electromagnetic assets. SECTION 1: AIRBORNE ELECTRONIC ATTACK 1. ELECTRONIC ATTACK. EA is the division of electronic warfare involving the use of electromagnetic energy, directed energy, or anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability and is considered a form of fires. EA also includes actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemys effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as jamming and electromagnetic deception. EA assets can provide extra protection for your operations. When EW is not properly integrated and coordinated, it may adversely affect friendly forces. Airborne EA assets are High Demand, Low Density (HD/LD), which means that there are many requests for them, but not enough to go around. Airborne EA assets provide the following effects. A) PREVENT: Disrupt adversary detonation of RCIEDs IOT protect ongoing operations or other friendly activity. B) DENY: degrade or disrupt access to, operation of, or availability of the RF spectrum preventing adversary use of C3 network and resources. 1) Degrade: (a function of amount) to refuse access to or operation of the RF spectrum for specified level of degradation (a percentage of capacity). Often times accompanied by specified amount of time. 2) Disrupt: (a function of time) to completely but temporarily deny access to or operation of the RF spectrum for a period of time. Must be accompanied by a desired start and stop time. C) EXPLOIT: denying the adversary use of predetermined portions of the RF spectrum while allowing others to be used and thus exploited by ISR assets. Conditioning jamming uses jamming to desensitize an enemy prior to an operation. Frequencies to be exploited must be given to the EA platform IOT deconflict from the signals to be jammed, maximizing collection efforts. D) INFLUENCE: In support of Information Operations (IO), airborne EA can broadcast messages to influence the perceptions and behaviors of insurgent leaders and/or specific target populations. Broadcast missions can also support theater military deception (MILDEC) operations IOT deliberately mislead adversary military decision makers. The desired effects are to produce results in the adversarys behavior and decision cycle. E) DECEIVE: Deception is confusing or misleading an adversary by using some combination of human produced, mechanical, or electronic means. Through use of

the RF Spectrum, EW manipulates the adversarys decision loop, making it difficult to establish an accurate perception of objective reality. 2. Electronic Surveillance (ES). Enables the commanders accurate estimate of the situation in the operations area. A) DETECTION: Detection is the active and passive monitoring of the operational environment for radio frequency, electro-optic, laser, IR and ultraviolet EM threats. It is the essential first step in EW for effective exploitation, targeting, defensive planning, and force protection. Friendly forces must have the capability to detect and characterize interference as hostile jamming or unintentional electronic interference. 3. Electronic Protection (EP). Secures use of the EMS for friendly forces. A) PROTECTION: Protection is the use of physical properties, operational tactics, techniques, and procedures, as well as planning and employment processes to ensure our use of the RF spectrum. This includes ensuring that joint offensive EW activities do not electronically destroy or degrade our intelligence sensors and/or communications systems. Protection is achieved by component hardening, EMCON, frequency management/deconfliction, and employing other means to counterattack and defeat adversary attempts to control the RF spectrum. Frequency management/deconfliction includes the capability to detect, characterize, geolocate, and mitigate electronic interference that affects operations. 4. JAMMING CONTROL AUTHORITY FOR AIRBORNE EA A) The Brigade or Battalion EWOs are the Jam Control Authority (JCA) while airborne assets are operating in their respective AOs. The communication plan between airborne EW assets and the controlling EWO will be identified on the Joint Tactical Air Electronic Warfare Requests. The JCA will provide a primary frequency and at least one alternate frequency for airborne EW assets to contact during operations. At least one of the alternate frequencies must be in a different band than the primary frequency, i.e. Primary FM, Alternate VHF. B) JCA responsibilities include: 1) Establishing communications with the airborne EA asset to ensure a CEASE BUZZER call can happen quickly. If comms are lost with the EWO, the airborne EA platform will maintain previous jamming state until comms are re-established, requested vul period ends or a cease buzzer is passed through other means. 2) Ensuring compliance with the approved Joint Restricted Frequency List. 3) Validating and approving/denying cease buzzer requests. 4) Maintaining situational awareness of all jamming capable systems in the AO. 5) Assist S2 with EW intelligence gain/loss recommendations. 6) Investigating and implementing corrective measures to unauthorized jamming events. 5. AIRBORNE EA REQUESTING, COORDINATION, AND PLANNING A) Subordinate TFs submit requests for airborne EA via the JTAEWR and EARF. Requests are processed and prioritized by the Brigade EWO before sending to CJTF-82.

B) 82nd Division EWO is responsible for coordinating and integrating EW missions with the respective aircraft mission planners. The CJTF EWO plans and prepares an EW Sweep Calendar detailing proposed pre-planned EW missions for nine day periods. C) EW mission priority will be determined by the CJTF-82 CJ3 EW IAW established direction and guidance set forth by ISAF. D) Frequencies to be jammed must be deconflicted with the Joint Restricted Frequency List (JRFL). The JRFL is a time- and geographic-oriented listing of GUARDED, PROTECTED, and TABOO functions, nets, and frequencies. GUARDED, PROTECTED, and TABOO frequencies are defined as follows. 1) GUARDED frequencies are adversary frequencies that are currently being exploited for combat information and intelligence. A GUARDED frequency is time-oriented in that the list changes as the adversary assumes different combat postures. These frequencies may be jammed after the ground commander has weighed the potential operational gain against the loss of the technical information. 2) PROTECTED frequencies are those friendly frequencies used for a particular operation, identified, and protected to prevent them from being inadvertently jammed by friendly forces while active EW operations are directed against hostile forces. These frequencies are of such critical importance that jamming should be restricted unless absolutely necessary or until coordination with the using unit is made. They are generally time-oriented, may change with the tactical situation, and should be updated periodically. 3) TABOO frequencies are friendly frequencies of such importance that they must never be deliberately jammed or interfered with by friendly forces. Normally these include international distress, safety, and controller frequencies. These are generally long-standing frequencies. SECTION 2: AIRBORNE EA PLANNING 1. EW, specifically communications jamming and C-RCIED sweeps, is a force multiplier that will enhance ground force operations and survivability. With proper integration of EW effects, direct action operations can maximize surprise to enhance mass of force on a particular target area. 2. Operational planners should note that synchronization of EW effects and supported unit movement is necessary to maximize EW effectiveness. Thus, whenever possible synchronization must occur. 3. Airborne EA mission should also be synchronized with electronic support (ES) platforms to maximize EW effectiveness. Planners need to coordinate ground and/or airborne ES missions to support airborne EA missions to evaluate effectiveness and determine enemy intent. 4. STANDARD OPERATING TIMES. In order to maximize the limited airborne EA assets in theater, CJTF-82 developed standardized mission windows or vul times. These daily windows are based on the ATO period that starts at 0300z and may not coincide with the calendar day. In other words, missions flown on any given calendar day may support two different ATO periods. 5. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

A) Unintended Consequences. EW planners must consider unintended consequences of EW operations. Friendly EA could potentially deny essential services to a local population which in turn could result in loss of life and/or political ramifications B) Plan exploitation of the adversarys RF spectrum for intelligence collection purposes. C) Identify the assets capable of collecting intelligence information on the adversary C2/electromagnetic systems, and exploiting those adversary systems. D) Review with intelligence planners the type of capabilities and products needed to support the EW portion of the operation. E) Coordinate with S2, ISR, and national resources to weigh intelligence gain/loss of EA, and if necessary, coordinate the resolution of these conflicts. F) Assist in the creation of the adversary electronic order of battle and advise the BFC on the best options for exploitation. G) Determine the number and type of EW platforms that could reasonably be expected to be tasked to support the operation being planned. H) Identify elements, capabilities, dispositions, and vulnerabilities of the adversary C2 system and the assets available to exploit those vulnerabilities. I) Identify friendly electromagnetic vulnerabilities and the assets available to provide protection against their exploitation. J) Plan the employment of capabilities using electromagnetic energy in order to degrade, destroy, and/or neutralize enemy capabilities. K) Submit requests for collection (surveillance), attack, and protection through appropriate staff channels and in the appropriate request for information or request for support forms supplied by that staff channel. L) Identify EW missions and tasks to subordinate units to enable them to plan resources required and associated pre-coordination necessary to deploy and employ those resources. M) Evaluate adversary threats to weapons systems, critical C2 communications, weapons control systems, target acquisition systems, surveillance systems, and computer networks. N) Maintain current assessment of the EW resources available to the commander (to include number, type, and status of EW assets) and analyze what resources are necessary to accomplish the CCs objective. O) Prioritize EW targets based on the CCs objectives, EW plan and available assets . P) Predict effects of friendly and enemy EW activity on coalition operations (eg Offensive EW). Q) Plan, coordinate, and assess EP (e.g., EW deconfliction, EMCON, EW reprogramming). R) Determine the type, expected length, geographic location, and level of hostility expected during the operation to be planned. S) Review current ROE and existing authorities for EW activities and recommend any necessary modifications in accordance with current staff procedures. Coordinate with the staff judge advocate to ensure that requirements of ROE, legal authorities,

and LOAC are met. T) Review the contribution which EW can make to the IO effort with other capability level planners (such as MISO, MILDEC) and determine what level of EW platform support they expect to need during the operation. U) Plan, coordinate, and assess CREW requirements V) During planning, evaluate each course of action (COA) considered with respect to EW resources required and the EW opportunities and vulnerabilities inherent in the COA.
