This manual, Army Doctrine Publication ADP 3-28 Defense Support of Civil Authorities February 2019, is the doctrinal foundation for the Army's contribution to defense support of civil authorities (DSCA). ADP 3-28 explains how the Army conducts DSCA missions and National Guard civil support missions as part of unified land operations. ADP 3-28 focuses on achieving unity of effort among the Army battalions, brigades, division headquarters, and Army Service component commands conducting DSCA with support from the generating force and in cooperation with joint and interagency partners.The principal audience for ADP 3-28 is all members of the Army profession. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force headquarters should also refer to applicable joint doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint forces. In addition, trainers, educators, and contractors throughout the Army will also use this publication as a doctrinal reference. ADP 3-28 clarifies similarities and differences between defense support of civil authorities (DSCA) tasks and other tasks of decisive action. Stability tasks and DSCA tasks are similar in many ways. Both revolve around helping partners on the ground within areas of operations. Both tasks require Army forces to provide essential services and work together with civil authorities. However, homeland operational environments differ from those overseas in terms of law, military chain of command, use of force, and inter-organizational coordination among unified action partners. This ADP helps Army leaders understand how operations in the homeland differ from operations by forces deployed forward in other theaters. It illustrates how domestic operational areas are theaters of operations with special requirements. Moreover, this ADP recognizes that DSCA is a joint mission that supports the national homeland security enterprise. The Department of Defense conducts DSCA under civilian control, based on U.S. law and national policy, and in cooperation with numerous civilian partners. National policy, in this context, often uses the word joint to include all cooperating partners, as in a joint field office led by civil authorities. The utilization of military forces during periods of domestic emergency is not undertaken lightly. The military however brings with it unique abilities, in terms of both capability and capacity which provide respondents with the resources needed to respond to an incident. The use of military forces in the responses to hurricanes Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005 illustrate some of the different responses the U.S. military can provide. They also led the government to realize that additional coordination was required before an incident to ensure a successful response. An in-depth look at the tenets of DSCA operations, authorities, and the national preparedness system framework are discussed in chapter one.The support the Army provides to civil authorities falls into four main tasks: Provide support for domestic disasters, provide support for domestic chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents, provide support for domestic civilian law enforcement agencies, and provide other designated support. Due to legal limitations such as the Posse Comitatus Act, the purpose for which the military can respond to these incidents is constrained, allowing a military response only to; save lives, restore essential services, maintain or restore law and order, protect infrastructure and property, support maintenance or restoration of local government, or shape the environment for intergovernmental success. Both state and federal laws detail how support is requested, provided and limited in both scope and duration. Further information on the employment of military forces and legal restrictions on doing so are provided in chapter two.A successful response to any disaster-natural or man-made-requires a whole-of-government approach.

Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.30 Civil Affairs Support to Nation Assistance provides doctrine for the integration of Civil Affairs operations (CAO)/civil-military operations (CMO) into the operations process. The manual provides techniques and procedures for CAO planning, training, and execution of missions in support of nation assistance (NA). The intent is to establish a common foundation for Civil Affairs (CA) forces to apply their unique skills in support of United States (U.S.) objectives to promote long-term stability, pluralistic government, and sound democratic institutions in the host nation (HN). The ATP prescribes the programs included within the joint concept of NA operations: foreign internal defense (FID), security assistance (SA), and Title 10, United States Code (10 USC), Armed Forces, programs and activities. This manual also provides a generic CAO appendix to act as a guide in developing supporting documentation for operational plans (OPLANs). NA operations support the HN with the technical expertise, advice, and assistance that can exponentially influence the success of other ongoing programs and initiatives. ATP 3-57.30 elaborates on doctrine contained in Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. The principal audience for ATP 3-57.30 is the Army Civil Affairs force, officers, and noncommissioned officers who support joint and Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference for the interagency. It provides techniques and procedures for the conduct of NA operations, one of the five core tasks of CAO. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, HN laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. ATP 3-57.30 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. ATP 3-57.30 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard / Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.
This regulation implements the policy set forth in Executive Order 12958 “Classified National Security Information” and DOD 5200.1-R “Information Security Program”. It establishes policy for classification, downgrading, declassification, and safeguarding of information requiring protection in the interest of national security. This regulation applies to all military and civilian members of the Active Army, Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and US Army Reserve (USAR), and Department of the Army (DA) personnel.
This multi-Service publication represents a significant revision of the November 1986 publication. The scope of the previous publication was limited to the effect that weather and terrain have on nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) operations and obscuration operations. This publication expands that scope to include the doctrinal employment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) capabilities (organizations, personnel, technology, and information) to characterize CBRN threats and hazards, including toxic industrial material (TIM), to the commander and the force. It is designed to provide commanders and staffs at the operational and tactical levels with capability employment planning data and considerations to shape military operations involving CBRN threats and hazards (CBRN shape) and a better understanding of where and when to expect CBRN hazards by applying information management (IM) to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP)/Marine Corps planning process (MCPP). This publication incorporates the characteristics of CBRN shape as addressed in joint concepts and in doctrine; and it provides doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for managing CBRN threats and hazards in the larger context of multi-Service military operations. The chapters present a doctrinal foundation, and specific TTP are included in appendixes. This manual also incorporates the joint doctrine elements for combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to include the passive defense capabilities of CBRN shape, CBRN sense, CBRN shield, and CBRN sustain. During military operations, this publication is subordinate to current joint publications (JPs) addressing this topic. This document incorporates the following key guidance—• National strategy to combat WMD.• National military strategy to combat WMD.• Department of Defense (DOD) protection joint functional concept.• Joint enabling concept for CBRN defense.• JP 3-40.The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, key agencies, and Service members with a key reference for understanding, characterizing, and managing CBRN threats and hazards in a particular operational environment (OE). This manual bridges the gap between Service and joint doctrine. It contains TTP for commanders and staff to use for characterizing and managing CBRN threats and hazards while conducting multi-Service military operations. This manual addresses concepts, principles, fundamentals, planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for developing Service manuals and refining existing training support packages, mission training plans, training center and unit exercises, and Service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to military support of CBRN aspects of command and control (C2).This publication is designed for use at the operational and tactical levels but has implications at the strategic level in the implementation of CBRN supporting strategic objectives. The manual will support command staffs, CBRN staff officers, CBRN noncommissioned officers (NCOs), non-CBRN personnel performing collateral duties as additional-duty CBRN officers or NCOs, and employees of civilian agencies in the assessment, planning, preparation, and execution of CBRN C2 functions. This publication is intended to provide multi- Service C2 concepts and considerations for planning for, responding to, and recovering from CBRN events. It is not stand-alone guidance for United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF) CBRN actions and activities. It is applicable to USAF units and USAF teams only in conjunction with appropriate USAF-specific publications, installation plans, supporting checklists, and other appropriate guidance.
ADP 3-0 Operations In 2011 the Army updated its warfighting doctrine to conduct unified land operations executed through decisive action and guided by mission command. ADP 3-0, Operations, is a natural evolution of past capstone doctrine that captured the most critical lessons of almost fifteen years of sustained land combat. In this edition, we not only reflect on the past but also look to the future. This publication builds on the idea that success requires fully integrating Army operations with the efforts of unified action partners. ADP 3-0 provides a common operational concept for Army forces who must be ready to operate across the range of military operations and across multiple domains, integrating their actions with unified action partners as part of a larger effort. Today, Army forces are engaged with more than 140,000 Soldiers in over 150 countries, either conducting combat operations, deterring aggression, or reassuring our allies and partners. The United States Army is also relentlessly hunting terrorists throughout many other parts of the world. We are engaging our partners in Africa and throughout the Americas. Readiness for current and future operations requires a force that is honed through effective training and education and well versed on how our Army conducts operations. The central idea of operations is that, as part of a joint force, Army forces seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win our Nation's wars as part of unified action. ADP 3-0 discusses the principles of unified land operations-mission command, develop the situation through action, combined arms, adhere to the law of war, establish and maintain security, and create multiple dilemmas for the enemy. ADP 3-0 incorporates the tenets of unified land operations-simultaneity, depth, synchronization, and flexibility. It highlights the concept that operational art is the connection between strategic objectives and tactical actions, and it supports a common construct for organizing both joint and Army operations. The construct consists of the Army operations process, an operations framework for visualizing and describing operations, and combat power. ADP 3-0 serves as the common operational concept for the Army. The central idea, adapted to the unique conditions of each conflict, represents the Army's unique contribution to unified action. It must permeate our doctrine, our training, and our leader professional development programs.

This publication, Field Manual FM 3-57 Civil Affairs Operations April 2019, provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capabilities in support of unified land operations. It also provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of Civil Affairs operations (CAO) in support of civil-military operations (CMO).FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in the execution of CAO, and in support of CMO, with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces execute CAO in support of unified land operations in all theaters across the range of military operations to achieve unified action. A force multiplier for every commander, CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist in dealing with the complex and ever-changing civil component of the operational environment (OE). CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess CAO in support of Army and joint operations. Their cultural orientation, regional expertise, linguistic capabilities, advisory ability, and civilian acquired professional skills paralleling common government functions are essential elements to the successful completion of the commander's mission.The principal audience for FM 3-57 is the leadership of the Army, officers, and senior noncommissioned officers who command Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference for the civilian leadership of the U.S. interagency organizations. Although written primarily to assist the Army Service component command, Army corps, Army divisions, brigade combat teams, and maneuver enhancement brigades with the integration of CAO in planning, preparing for, executing, and assessing unified land operations, this FM is applicable for joint force operations as well.FM 3-57 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The proponent of FM 3-57 is the U.S. Army Special Operations Center of Excellence, USAJFKSWCS.
