Organic human intelligence (HUMINT) assets provide in-depth understanding of the local and regional nonmilitary (civil considerations) factors that typically influence the outcome of operations within a smaller-scale contingency. The last organic system is the Javelin, which is the primary anti-armor system across the SBCT formation. (4) Maneuver Support Cell. The additional tracking time required to fire a TOW missile beyond 2,000 meters increases the likelihood of gunner error. (a) Camouflage. E. Facilitates a fast seal of a cordon, The Tactical Call-Out is a securing technique during actions on the objective which mitigates unnecessary risk to the search force and occupant(s) by maintaining a controlled tempo and orderly evacuation. (4) An armored vehicle provides a smaller target from the front. Developing security policies and procedures for network operations. Included within the intelligence section is the S2x team. Overall flank and rear security must be planned at the platoon leader level; if omitted, this lack of protection can be costly. In addition to enhancing the SBCT's ability to accomplish its assigned mission, reach also enhances its operational agility. CPT Shawn Scott is currently serving as the company commander for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment Tomahawks, 3-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. MAJ Chris Ricci is currently serving as the executive officer for 1-23 IN Tomahawks, 3-2 SBCT, JBLM, Wash. The SBCT antitank platoons' three squads function in the same manner. The information operations coordinator (IOCOORD) advises the SBCT commander on all information operations matters. Table 1-1, depicts the table of organization and equipment (TOE) for antiarmor units. Figure 1-2. (3) Considerations. Preparing and improving plans and orders Another potential action is to use the laser against suspected enemy positions to trigger their laser-warning receiver. The FECC is a product of the effects-based fires concept and is a standing organization within the SBCT headquarters. The HUMINT capability is directed toward assessing the enemy and environmental and civilian considerations (answering PIR). The SBCT antiarmor company consists of three platoons with three TOW-equipped antiarmor interim armored vehicles (ICVs) in each platoon. Close Areas. The infantry battalion mission is to close with and destroy or defeat enemy forces within the full spectrum of modern combat operations. C. Intelligence and information is pushed to higher, lower, and adjacent units E. Inform and influence audiences Shaping operations use the full range of military power to neutralize or reduce enemy capabilities and create the conditions that contribute to the success of a decisive operation. The dismounted squads seized dominate terrain, established hasty support-by-fire positions using Javelins, and provided overwatch for the Strykers as they pulled forward. Enemy forces make use of contours in the terrain (dead space) to reduce their exposure to TOWs. E. disruption, In all counter reconnaissance operations, the goal is to ____________________________ . Obscurants launched from these grenade launchers can block the view of the target or interfere with the TOW's guidance system. C. Interests and Actions He performs OPCON of any MP assets provided to the SBCT and supervises the execution of any MP missions. Rear areas at any echelon in a linear sense are those areas behind close areas that are normally designated for support activities.

Processing valid target information for supporting fires and effects assets (including IO assets) to execute in accordance with the T/ESM. A. This team functions as the coordinator for all HUMINT and CI functions within the SBCT (see FM 2-19.402 for a detailed discussion of the S2x and S2x team). Commanders of forces engaged in the close area may designate subordinate deep areas, close areas, and rear areas. The wide range of SSC operations also includes the increasing likelihood of stability actions such as peace enforcement, implementation of peace accords, evacuation of US nationals, or the provision of humanitarian relief. D. Units do not transition from an offensive operation, Which of the following are primary characteristics of urban terrain that enhance the defense? var pid = 'ca-pub-1080079977389268'; Many enemy vehicles are armed with weapons and munitions that can suppress or destroy TOW positions. The antiarmor company is normally task organized by the airborne/air assault infantry battalion commander or the Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT) commander, based on his estimate of the. The staff contributes to the commander making and executing timely decisions (Figure 1-14). Two Diamond The MICO commander advises the S2 and the SBCT commander on the proper utilization of MICO ISR assets and the proper utilization of any ISR assets attached to the SBCT that are not specifically attached to other SBCT subordinate elements. Understanding Providing assessments that inform and are integrated back into the ongoing targeting process. Each infantry battalion in the airborne or air assault division has an assigned antiarmor company (Figure 1-1). b. The commander establishes guidelines or gives specific guidance when a personal staff officer should inform or coordinate with the XO or other members of the staff. Why is the power of judicial review important? The sustainment process, What is one of the terms that a commander uses to express his visualization of an operation? (b) The chaplain assistant is an active member of the unit's noncommissioned officer (NCO) support channel for religious support issues and soldier welfare. Guerrillas, terrorists, paramilitary units, special purpose forces, special police, and local militias will be present in the environment. False, During movement, if resistance is expected, the _____________ element normally leads and the _________________ element travels second. Advanced information technology and modern weapons systems continue to increase the pertinence and lethality of conducting operations in a deep area. The design includes embedded unit-based capabilities such as military intelligence, signal, engineer, antitank, artillery, and CSS elements (Figure 1-4). Enhanced common operational picture (COP). The SBCT must continue to maximize the employment of the Javelin by training Soldiers and leaders on the operations and employment of the system. An analysis of all of these factors is necessary for the antiarmor unit to be effective, to survive, and to overcome the following inherent weaknesses: (1) Cover. Rules of interaction are directives that govern the SBCT soldiers' interaction with civilians. Providing input into reconnaissance and surveillance planning and execution. He provides his subordinates with missions, resources, and a clear statement of his intent. Figure 1-4. (2) Concealment. Man-made cover includes fighting positions, walls, rubble, and craters. Informing the commander of primary and alternate communications capabilities. isolating infrastructure The SBCT has three organic systems capable of destroying enemy armor and can employ lethal fires to disrupt and neutralize armored forces. Cordon and Ask Understanding the human dimension Maintaining the current situation regarding enemy and environmental factors and updating IPB and the intelligence estimate. Databases, matrices, and assessments are updated deliberate, hasty Shaping Operations. Four designated instructors were able to train 40 Javelin operators during the course, providing each company (including our Headquarters and Headquarters Company) the ability to employ Javelins at NTC. Each SBCT has an assigned antiarmor company (Figure 1-2). A fire and effects element is embedded within the FECC and is supervised by the DECOORD. Cover is protection from the effects of enemy direct or indirect fires. The Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT) is a full-spectrum combat force that provides division, corps, or joint task force commanders a unique capability across the spectrum of conflict. While thermal sights enable the gunner to see through some smoke, the gunner may not be able to maintain control of the missile through the smoke. Normally the commander economizes on the amount of force devoted to shaping operations that occur simultaneously with the decisive operation. The SBCT is an Infantry-centric organization with the rifle squad serving as the foundation of its combat power to execute decisive action operations. Your Company has responsibility for clearing a small town that is expected to contain insurgents. (a) The senior MP planning officer within the MANSPT cell serves as the SBCT MP and is responsible for MP planning, coordination, and synchronization of MP maneuver elements. Concealment is the protection from enemy observation. The primary rationale for expanded equilibrium among BCT types, or at least prevention of further reduction in mechanized density, stems from optimized capabilities that infantry (IBCT), Stryker. (2) Deception. Deep Areas. Step 1 The anti-armor POI gave designated Javelin operators eight hours of hands-on training time. The first organic system is the Anti-Tank Guided. Fix Personalities arranged in alphabetical order on the right side of the matrix direct and indirect Obscurant-filled projectiles are typically used to lay blinding smoke on TOW positions. To protect friendly units from ground reconnaissance elements, US forces employ security operation forces, which must use all available concealment to augment information sharing (digital and nondigital). This system enables the unit to adapt quickly to changes resulting from an analysis of the factors of METT-TC. Liaison ensures that the SBCT, along with adjacent commands, remains aware of respective tactical situations by providing them with exceptional, critical, or routine information; verification of information; and clarification of operational questions. isolate the threat before or after they have penetrated the initial screen line Debrief and listen to patrols and other maneuver units familiar with the AO. Natural cover includes reverse slopes, ravines, and hollows. In the past, deep strikes were aimed at slowing and disrupting the advance of enemy forces. Coordinating and controlling radar zone coverage for SBCT counterfire radars and any attached radars. Planning and coordinating network terminals. day of the month The enemy has difficulty seeing a position with a low silhouette. Figure 1-17. HVT Lists The medical plans and operations cell is assigned to the BSS. Intelligence assessments He manages the information flow within the SBCT to include the commander's critical information requirements (CCIR). Reactive armor contains explosives sandwiched between metal plates. F. Vulnerable to CBRN attack, The mobile gun system (MGS) platoon includes how many MGS vehicles? Identifying and evaluating intelligence collection capabilities as they affect the AO security, counter-surveillance, signal security, security operations, and force protection. Who is the SBCT commander's direct support (DS) artillery? Weather-related scheduling This organizational flexibility allows the SBCT to function in its primary role as the major participant in an SSC, in a MTW as part of a division or corps structure, or to serve as a "guarantor combat force" in a stability or support operation.if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[970,250],'globalsecurity_org-banner-1','ezslot_7',135,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-globalsecurity_org-banner-1-0'); The SBCT has an approximate personnel strength of 3,500 soldiers and is pre-configured in ready-to-fight combined arms packages. (c) Targeting and Counterfire Element. It coordinates all military and civilian engineer efforts within the SBCT's AO and controls engineer assets and units not task organized to the SBCT's subordinate units. The key to the employment of the M98A2 was the use of movement and maneuver of the Stryker vehicles and the dismounted Infantry. a. Calendar time (day, week, or month) Which of these is NOT an element of the Military Intelligence Company? The TOW weapon system has a slow rate of fire and requires time to track. The SBCT has three organic systems capable of destroying enemy armor and can employ lethal fires to disrupt and neutralize armored forces. Key functions of the S1 section include, (2) Intelligence Section. Conduct knowledge and information management Within the close area, one unit will be designated the main effort, while other units are supporting efforts. Whats's the primary anti-armor force in a SBCT? Leaders must choose inconspicuous positions and avoid silhouetting the vehicles or weapon systems against the skyline ("skylining"). Focus, What is the Army's framework for exercising mission command? The engineers emplace the obstacles inside designated obstacle zones, belts, and groups. By calendar The Javelin provides the Stryker the necessary punch to defeat armored formations. F. Company Headquarters, Which of the following are limitations of the SBCT Infantry Rifle Company? Knowledge The mission of the fires and effects element is to plan, coordinate, and synchronize lethal and selected non-lethal (smoke and illumination only) fire support in support of SBCT operations. a. Important T&C section targeting functions include: Important T&C section counterfire functions include: (d) Air Force Liaison Officer/Tactical Air Control Party. a. window.ezoSTPixelAdd(slotId, 'adsensetype', 1); Command Sergeant Major Shape Specifically for the NTC, we spent a large portion of the POI teaching how to employ the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) version of the system. Antiarmor leaders must be part of the indirect fire planning process at higher levels. To be effective, the obstacles must be covered by both direct and indirect fire. Monitoring Class VIII resupply levels to ensure adequate stockage for support of brigade operations. Primarily, the command sergeant major (CSM) advises the commander on all matters concerning the enlisted soldiers of the SBCT. An antiarmor leader should move forward of his position to observe. (b) The MANSPT cell also assists the SBCT staff with developing engineer plans to include engineer task organization, scheme of engineer operations, and obstacle plans. overt, covert The SBCT achieves force effectiveness by exploiting the abilities of its skilled soldiers and capable leaders. While they vary considerably between missions, ROE always allow soldiers to protect themselves from deadly threats. The S3 (e) Avoid "Skylining." Additionally, they will likely possess weapons of mass destruction (WMD). 3 (c) Decoys. Many armored vehicles are now equipped with various methods to reduce their signatures and conceal their presence, to include. The push and pull technique allowed the battalion to defeat enemy armor by maneuvering the dismounted Infantry with Javelins to positions of advantage and overwatch the movement of vehicles as they bounded forward. Once GRG, SOM Combat aviation, fires, maneuver enhancement, battlefield surveillance, and sustainment. assessing infrastructure, During an attack, which element's primary focus would be to kill, capture, or force withdrawal of the enemy from an urban objective? (For example, a TOW weapon system stands out if located in an open area, but it is difficult to see in a wooded area.) ), The engineer company (Figure 1-9) serves as the SBCT's primary means for mobility. Information dominance 6, Which of the following are rules for processing a detainee? C. Security They also assist in the IPB process by providing input on their functional areas. True Disrupt the enemy, Gain and Maintain enemy contact, Maneuver, Fix the enemy, Follow through (2) An armored vehicle's firepower and crew are normally oriented to the front. This environment is characterized by a new enemy armed with equipment advances in global weapons proliferation and unconventional terrorist and or guerilla operating tactics. The CLU employed without the launch tube assembly and Javelin missile is an outstanding optic in observation post operations. Based on the competencies and skill sets our unit retained post deployment to Afghanistan in 2012, we took risk in training stability operations. Monitoring network performance and database configuration and planning system reconfigurations caused by changes in the tactical situation, communications connectivity, and system initialization instructions. Headquarters and headquarters company. Personal staff members work under the commander's immediate control and directly assist him in the exercise of command (Figure 1-15). No organic maintenance sections The cavalry squadron (RSTA) of the SBCT is carefully designed to provide accurate and timely information over a large operating environment (Figure 1-6). He is responsible for the development, implementation, and coordination of religious support assets, operations, and activities. Sustaining operations occur throughout the area of operations and not only within a designated rear area. terrain, infrastructure, and military ROI must be tailored to the specific region, culture(s), and or populations affected by the operation. Terrain and weather He ensures the collection, analysis, and dissemination of HUMINT and CI-related intelligence and information is in concert with the commander's critical information requirements. if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[580,400],'globalsecurity_org-medrectangle-4','ezslot_5',127,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-globalsecurity_org-medrectangle-4-0');Although the SBCT is expected to always operate under ARFOR command, the SSC environment may require it to maintain direct links with multinational forces and US and foreign governmental and non-governmental organizations involved in the conflict, crisis, or instability. A. Seaborne No organic mortars The commander's principal advisor Drive the operations process The consent submitted will only be used for data processing originating from this website. Reach allows the supporting headquarters to provide detailed analytical support to the SBCT commander and staff. Additionally, the IOCOORD participates in the development of IPB products and works with the fires and effects cell throughout the targeting process. When employed in an MTW, the SBCT is a force multiplier to a division or corps because of its ability to conduct rear area security operations over a large geographic region. These rules reflect the requirements of the laws of war, operational concerns, and political considerations when the operational environment shifts from peace to conflict and back to peace. Enemy Actions Taken While the TOW Missile is in Flight. Reduces problems with deconfliction of fires a. The company installs, operates, and maintains the SBCT wide area network (WAN). Organizational . Likely additions to the SBCT task organization may include aviation, armor, engineers, and air defense. However, conditions may develop that require added capabilities not resident within the SBCT. The S2x is the intelligence staff officer for HUMINT and CI activities. Three Like ROE, ROI can be effective only if they are thoroughly rehearsed and understood by every member of the SBCT. This action causes the vehicle to launch smoke grenades, which confirms its presence. C. Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) (a) Laser Warning Receivers. He organizes for combat based on the mission, scheme of support, task organization, and specified and implied tasks contained in the SBCT's order. Many armored vehicles are equipped with laser-warning receivers that alert the crew when their vehicle has been lased by a laser range finder. Target folders Organic combined-arms assaults Ground forces share boundaries and orient against a similarly organized enemy force while protecting sustainment functions. B. Joint, multinational, or interagency operability. By using the laser-warning receiver, the crew identifies the type of laser range finder or designator and the direction of the laser. Collection strategies (1) ROI are tools (both limiting and permissive) that enable the soldier to deal with the nontraditional situations that will be prevalent throughout MTW, SSC, and PME. Understand C. Ambush c. Antiarmor Platoon in the Light Infantry Battalion. (a) Smoke Grenade Launchers. Platoons and sections should be able to execute the push and pull technique to the same proficiency as the bounding overwatch. He serves as the principal advisor to the SBCT commander on matters relating to MP support. He also provides legal advice during the military decision-making process regarding ROE, targeting, and other legal aspects of operations. a. F. Conduct information protection, What describes the position of the command sergeant major of the command at battalion and higher levels? A. protection The MGS does have a M68A1E4 105mm cannon, but it was built to operate independently and support Infantrymen in the fight. The SBCT commander can also accept augmentation of units or elements that are not organic to the SBCT structure such as lift and or attack aviation, armor, rocket artillery, air defense, military police, civil affairs, psychological operations, combat and construction engineers, and additional command and control systems assets with requisite CSS support for each system. In Step 4, Personnel in incident, You build the incident overlay by plotting _________________on the map. C. Delegate authority and resources Collecting and processing battlefield information and intelligence to identify targets. The senior maneuver support officer in the maneuver support cell serves as the principal maneuver support planner in the SBCT main CP. The cell is normally manned by two battle captains (S3 and S2), the S3 sergeant major, battle staff NCOs, liaison teams, and communications personnel. The company's nodal platoon establishes an alternate NOSC at the SBCT rear CP. Improved obscurants can degrade thermal sights. It is highly likely that during a typical SSC the brigade will have its RSTA cavalry squadron (RSTA) conducting a relief in place with a legacy force while one infantry battalion is escorting relief convoys and the other two infantry battalions are executing combat operations within an urban area. The IO officer supervises the efforts of augmentation elements such as PSYOP detachments, CA teams, electronic attack teams, special IO teams, and public affairs teams. Their staffs These forces are not capable of long term, sustained, high tempo combat operations. commanders vision of METT-TC Figure 1-25. As we began studying the NTC opposing force, we realized that we needed to maximize our anti-armor proficiency prior to rotation, specifically focusing on the use of Javelins. (2) Chaplain. As a result of this decision, each SBCT will only receive nine of its authorized 27 MGS systems. Antiarmor leaders can request indirect fires. Isolation The company and platoons are capable of deploying as part of the Army's force projection requirements. Companies fight as combined arms teams with an section of organic 81-mm mortars, an MGS platoon, and a sniper team. Figure 1-11. The current operations cell also maintains contact with the plans cell in the rear CP. additional preparation time C. Link diagrams The brigade surgeon oversees and coordinates HSS activities through the brigade surgeon's section (BSS) and the brigade staff (Figure 1-28). Based on the posture of the enemy, we recognized we would have to employ the push and pull technique described above. D. Center of Gravity, When considering the urban infrastructure, commanders must take into account the impact of destroying, controlling, or protecting certain parts of infrastructure. True (1) Command Sergeant Major. security, command, A commander that desired security over speed and preferred to mass combat power would use _________________ egress and _____________________ withdrawal movement A PME further serves to demonstrate US resolve to allies and adversaries alike, conveying democratic ideals, deterring aggression, and helping to relieve sources of instability. The commander has total responsibility and accountability for the SBCT and its actions. Our major waypoint along this training path was National Training Center (NTC) rotation 14-03 in January 2014, where we would test ourselves across the full range of military operations against a hybrid threat comprised of a near-peer mechanized threat, insurgents, guerillas, and criminal elements. Improved obscurants can degrade thermal sights and ATGM guidance systems. Step 3 False, All of the following are advantages to incorporating HNSF into a cordon and search EXCEPT ____________ . (2) On the other hand, ROE commonly rule out the use of some weapons and may impose special limitations, such as the requirements for warning shots and single shot engagements. Support element Network pattern, Which forces are composed of armed individuals or groups who are not members of the regular Armed Forces, police, or other internal security forces? Fires Pattern analysis must be conducted at company level. The ISR analysis and ISR integration platoons are operational control (OPCON) to the SBCT S2 and provide support to the development of the SBCT COP, targeting effects, situation development, and intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB). Fires and effects coordination cell. the commander's principal logistician, Who assists commanders with the integration of five additional mission command warfighting functional tasks? Antiarmor squads and sections are positioned to engage tanks or armored vehicles from the flank. Through the use of the Training Audiovisual Support Center (TASC) Javelin Basic Skills Trainer (JBST) and Field Tactical Trainer (FTT), we were able to allow Javelin firers to shoot at targets and receive feedback on their performance. The following provides a description of the key responsibilities of staff officers during combat operations. In order to achieve this effect, the antiarmor squads are positioned so that fires directed at one squad can suppress only that squad. In the light infantry division, each infantry battalion has one antiarmor platoon (Figure 1-3). assess the threat before or after they have penetrated the initial screen line Engineers help shape the battlefield by enhancing mobility, countermobility, and survivability. These weapon systems complement other weapon systems, especially the TOW. Advising the commander on communications requirements. Furthermore, the Infantry battalions within the SBCT are only authorized to have nine of these systems. At a minimum, the cell should include representatives from the cavalry squadron (RSTA), intelligence cell (to include the S2x team), FECC, maneuver support (MANSPT) cell, and the BSB. Minimizing collateral damage is not a fundamental of urban operations. Although current assessments project MTW as the least likely to occur, many current regional powers could pose a substantial challenge to the United States, possibly with little warning. The IOCOORD is a key synchronizer of the SBCT's non-lethal effects. An MTW involves operations across the full range of offensive, defensive, stability, and support operations; however the operational focus is on offensive and defensive operations (Figure 1-2). Dependent upon METT-TC, the SBCT could receive support ranging from platoon- to company-size units from a division or corps. The systems portability makes it the anti-armor weapon of choice for light early entry forces. The COP is an operational picture tailored to the SBCT commander's requirements for information of friendly forces, enemy forces, and the terrain. With the addition of a light armored force, IBCTs will see improvement in three different planning factors. BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS AND HEADQUARTERS COMPANY. The DECOORD serves as the primary assistant to the effects coordinator and is the permanent full-time liaison between any direct support field artillery assets and the SBCT. E. Search based on anonymous tip Lead information activities, When you are task organizing for an attack on an urban area, what determines the actual task organization? The Enemy. Strategic deployment capability domestic and foreign (Photo by SGT Paul Sale). Coordinating with the entire staff and recommending PIR for the CCIR. The Company Commander b. This training includes terrain driving, suppressing or destroying TOWs with direct fire, use of on-board obscurants, and active protection systems. 4Thom Shanker, The Struggle for Iraq: Combat; How Green Berets Beat the Odds at an Iraq Alamo, The New York Times, 22 September 2013.
