IX Commercial publications International Organization for Standardization Risk management – Principles and guidelines (ISO 31000-2009(E), 2009) Edition C Version 1 x AJP-3 PREFACE Scope 1. Allied joint publication (AJP)-3(C) Allied Joint Doctrine for the Conduct of Operations is the keystone North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) doctrine for the conduct of joint operations from preparation to termination. AJP-3(C) builds on the principles described by AJP-01(E) Allied Joint Doctrine, is adjacent and closely related to AJP-5 Allied Joint Doctrine for the Planning of Operations, and it is the foundational doctrine for the AJP-3 series. Purpose 2. Though every operation is unique their conduct can be approached in the same manner. AJP-3(C) provides joint commanders and staffs with a common framework to command, coordinate and synchronize Alliance operations. Application 3. AJP-3(C) is intended primarily as guidance for joint NATO commanders and staffs. However, the doctrine is instructive to, and provides a useful framework for operations conducted by a coalition of NATO members, partners and non-NATO nations. It also provides a reference for NATO civilian and non-NATO civilian actors. xi Edition C Version 1 AJP-3 Intentionally blank Edition C Version 1 xii AJP-3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary of changes vii Related documents ix Preface xi Table of contents xiii Chapter 1 – Fundamentals Section 1 – Introduction 1-1 Operations themes 1-2 Requirements 1-3 NATO Command Structure 1-4 NATO force structure 1-6 Linkage between the NATO Command Structure, NATO force structure headquarters and national headquarters 1-8 Section 2 – Principles and operational considerations of joint and multinational operations 1-9 Principles 1-9 Operational considerations 1-12 Section 3 – Contribution to Allied joint and multinational operations 1-16 NATO’s contribution to a comprehensive approach 1-16 Multinational approach 1-17 Component contribution to joint operations 1-17 Stages of a joint operation 1-20 Operations framework 1-21 Joint functions 1-21 Section 4 – Joint action framework 1-27 Section 5 – Types of operations 1-28 Section 6 – Command and control 1-36 Introduction 1-36 Principles of joint and multinational command 1-36 Chapter 2 – Preparation Section 1 – Introduction 2-1 Section 2 – Forming the joint task force 2-1 NATO forces generation, activation and deployment procedure 2-1 xiii Edition C Version 1 AJP-3 Establishing the joint task force headquarters 2-3 Integrating the components 2-4 Challenges of multinational operations 2-6 Training and training responsibilities 2-7 Section 3 – Pre execution activities 2-8 Organizing the joint operations area 2-10 Strategic deployment and reception, staging, onward movement and integration 2-11 Planning and executing the strategic deployment, reception, staging, onward movement and integration process 2-12 Transfer of authority 2-13 Chapter 3 – Execution Section 1 – Introduction 3-1 Section 2 – Command and control factors 3-1 Section 3 – Operations management 3-4 Introduction 3-4 Battlespace management 3-5 Situational awareness 3-6 Section 4 – Information management 3-7 Section 5 – Joint task force headquarters management processes 3-11 Chapter 4 – Operations assessment Section 1 – Purpose 4-1 Section 2 – Stages of operations assessment 4-2 Section 3 – Operations assessment at the strategic, operational and tactical level 4-2 Chapter 5 – Termination Section 1 – Introduction 5-1 Section 2 – Termination 5-1 Section 3 – Transition 5-1 Assessing transition activities 5-3 Effective transition activities 5-4 Transition risks 5-5 Edition C Version 1 xiv AJP-3 Section 4 – Post termination activities 5-6 Annex A – Joint staff functions General A-1 Principal advisors A-1 Staff structure A-2 Other staff functions A-7 Annex B – Related capabilities to the joint functions Annex C – Battlespace management planning and execution Section 1 – Battlespace and enabling

WILLIAMS, GENE GERMANOVICH, STEPHEN WEBBER, GABRIELLE TARINI Unlocking NATO’s Amphibious Potential Lessons from the Past, Insights for the Future orth Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members maintain amphibious capabilities that provide versatile and responsive forces for crisis response and national defense. These forces are routinely employed in maritime Nsecurity, noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO), counterterrorism, stability operations, and other missions. In addition to U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Navy forces, the Alliance’s amphibious forces include large ships and associated landing forces from five nations: France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK). Each of these European allies—soon to be joined by Turkey—can conduct brigade-level operations, and smaller elements typically are held at high readiness for immediate response.1 These forces have been busy. Recent exercises and operations have spanned the littorals of West and North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Given NATO’s ongoing concerns over Russia’s military posture and malign behavior, allies with amphibious capabilities have also been exploring how these forces could contribute to deterrence or, if needed, be employed as part of a C O R P O R A T I O N combined and joint force in a conflict against a highly some respects, NATO’s ongoing efforts harken back to the capable nation-state.

  • Allied Maritime Command HQ MARCOM News Release
    Allied Maritime Command HQ MARCOM News Release Nov. 1, 2017 Operation Sea Guardian Patrols the Eastern Mediterranean MEDITERRANEAN SEA - Four NATO ships and one submarine, provided by Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Turkey, in cooperation with maritime patrol aircraft from Greece and Turkey, conducted focused security patrols in international waters of the eastern Mediterranean Sea as part of NATO’s maritime counter-terrorism operation, Operation Sea Guardian (OSG) October 14 to 30, 2017. The focused security patrol concentrated on gathering pattern-of-life information about maritime activities in the international waters of the eastern Mediterranean Sea from off the coast of Syria to off the coast of Israel and Lebanon in support of the Operation’s Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) task. While operating in the focus area, the ships identified 900 motor vessels, from large commercial shipping vessels to smaller fishing vessels. The group hailed 39 of those ships and were invited onboard four ships in support of building a better understanding of the activities occurring at sea in the eastern Mediterranean. The group worked in coordination with support from NATO assigned Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) to cover the area and monitor the maritime activities across the area. This information is relayed back to Allied Maritime Command and added to the NATO Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP), a common picture available to all Allies.

    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2014 Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S. Security Allied Land Command is the leading advocate for soldiers and land forces in NATO, responsible for ensuring their effectiveness and interoperability. Lieutenant General Frederick B. Hodges, USA Commander, NATO Allied Land Command* Introduction Today’s global security environment is defined by its complexity, unpredictability and the increasing momentum of human interaction; it is the essence of the joint and combined force to remain trained and fully ready to meet any challenge. Strategic land- power—the application of land forces (Army, Marine Corps and special operations forces) toward achiev- ing strategic outcomes across the range of military operations—provides a critical hedge against this un- certain future. The role of strategic landpower is to shape and prevail within the human domain, creating conditions that stabilize people’s daily dealings with one another and generate momentum to bring about and combined-arms capabilities to dominate the en- the nation’s strategic objectives. vironment; and winning decisively when called.
