Consequently, the Director, Operational Testing and Evaluation (DOT&E) authorized a Joint Forward Operations Base (JFOB) Quick Reaction Test (QRT). This QRT, under the guidance of Army Test and Evaluation Command and the Joint Chiefs of Staff Deputy Directorate for Antiterrorism and Homeland Defense (J-34) developed this JFOB Handbook with significant assistance from U.S. Central Command. The aim of this handbook is to describe those tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) and best practices suited to counter the rocket, artillery, mortar (RAM), and improvised explosive device (IED) threats to JFOBs in Iraq. The objective is to reduce the casualty rate during combat operations. This handbook provides a quick-reference guide for a systematic approach to planning, developing, and improving JFOB defensive capabilities. The handbook is linked to the current evolution of forward operations bases by design and can be located on the Joint Staff Antiterrorism Enterprise Portal (ATEP) for access by users. The handbook is also available on CD and limited hard copy. The JFOB Handbook is designed to be a quick look reference and is broken into major subject areas to facilitate use. The series of chapters is listed on the back of the book with a corresponding black tab by each title. The pages are striped with the corresponding tab at the appropriate level to allow the reader to quickly turn to the desired section of the handbook without wading through a series of appendixes. ii FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY PREFACE Scope This publication addresses force protection (FP) at joint forward operations bases (JFOBs) in the Iraq theater of operations. The focus is on defense against rockets, artillery, and mortars (RAMs) and vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs). It describes how adversary and friendly courses of action (COAs) are evaluated and implemented to support the JFOB commander’s decision making process. This publication is geared primarily towards engineer and FP specialists to assist with operational level FP planning. It also addresses “best practices” for defeating RAMs and VBIEDs. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Office of the Secretary of Defense. As a result of a Quick Reaction Test program, a series of best practices for JFOB defense emerged from current doctrine, joint tactics, techniques and procedures (JTTPs), and current practices in theater. It provides recommendations for the exercise of FP by combatant commanders and other JFOB commanders for JFOB defense. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of commanders from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner inconsistent with established plans and operations. Application This publication is a compilation of the latest Joint and Service doctrine. It includes tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) available from the Combined Force Land Component Command (CFLCC) and Multinational Corps-Iraq (MNC-I) units that have been or are currently serving in the Iraq theater of operations. It also contains the best validated blast mitigation materials and designs from various Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories. The guidance in this publication is not necessarily authoritative. However, many of the practices that result from this OSD QRT may be incorporated into future doctrine or TTPs. The contents of Service publications will take precedence for the activities of joint forces unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the United States, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command’s doctrine and procedures, where applicable. JAMES R.

  • Fortification Renaissance: the Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne
    FORTIFICATION RENAISSANCE: THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF THE TRACE ITALIENNE Robert T. Vigus Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Committee Co-Chair Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Co-Chair Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Vigus, Robert T. Fortification Renaissance: The Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne. Master of Arts (History), May 2013, pp.71, 35 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The Military Revolution thesis posited by Michael Roberts and expanded upon by Geoffrey Parker places the trace italienne style of fortification of the early modern period as something that is a novel creation, borne out of the minds of Renaissance geniuses. Research shows, however, that the key component of the trace italienne, the angled bastion, has its roots in Greek and Roman writing, and in extant constructions by Roman and Byzantine engineers. The angled bastion of the trace italienne was yet another aspect of the resurgent Greek and Roman culture characteristic of the Renaissance along with the traditions of medicine, mathematics, and science. The writings of the ancients were bolstered by physical examples located in important trading and pilgrimage routes. Furthermore, the geometric layout of the trace italienne stems from Ottoman fortifications that preceded it by at least two hundred years. The Renaissance geniuses combined ancient bastion designs with eastern geometry to match a burgeoning threat in the rising power of the siege cannon. Copyright 2013 by Robert T. Vigus ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of many people.

  • MCWP 3-11.2 Chapter 5: Defensive Combat
    MCRP 3-11.2, Marine Rifle Squad (DRAFT) 1 2 3 Chapter 5 4 5 Defensive Combat 6 7 Section I. General 8 9 5101. Purpose 10 11 The purpose of defensive action is to develop more favorable conditions for offensive action, to 12 economize forces to allow the concentration of force elsewhere and retain or control terrain, and 13 gain time. The rifle squad should have an ambush mentality in which they seek to surprise and 14 trap the enemy in away that sets him up for the decisive counter-attack. 15 16 5102. Mission 17 18 The mission of the infantry in the defense is, with the support of other arms, to delay / harass the 19 enemy by fire as he approaches the battle position, to repel his assault by close combat if he 20 reaches the battle position, and to destroy him by counterattack. For the rifle squad, this mission 21 can be divided into three parts: 22 23 a. To delay or suppress the enemy by fire once he comes into small arms range of the squad's 24 fighting position. Depending on the mission, the enemy is delay or taken under fire as far forward 25 of the squad's fighting position as possible. The closer the enemy comes to the squad's fighting 26 position, the more friendly casualties he will inflict. Another technique is to deliver massed 27 surprise fires by withholding fires until the enemy can be surprised and trapped e.g. ambush. 28 29 b. If the enemy continues to press the attack to the point where he launches an assault, the squad 30 repels this assault by continuing to deliver fire as part of their unit's final protective fires and, if 31 necessary, by hand-to-hand combat.

  • The Motte and Bailey Castle at Aldford by Bevis Sale and Rich Turner
    The Motte and Bailey Castle at Aldford by Bevis Sale and Rich Turner This substantial set of earthworks is the best surviving example of a Norman Castle in Cheshire. Though large in size, they are typical of the many motte and bailey castles which survived throughout England and Wales. There original aim was to provide protection for the new Norman landlords who had taken over the Saxon manors. They continued to be built well into the 12' century and especially during periods of civil unrest which racked England during this period. When plotted on a distribution map they also seem to have another function. There is a great concentration of these castles throughout the Welsh Marches from Cheshire down to Gloucestershire which provided a well defended informal frontier between England and Wales (Renn, 1968). Husain (1973) has gone further and suggested that the castles at Shotwick Park, Trueman's Hill Hawarden, Dodleston, Pulford and Aldford were built as an outer defense to Chester, but without accurate dates of construction it is difficult to defend this argument. The two jrincipal earthworks at Aldford, the motte and the bailey will be described separately. The motte contains a very large &ea for a non-royal castle (1280 sq.m). The motte top is sub-rectangular and almost flat, except for mounds of rubble in the south-eastern and north-eastern comers. The motte was formerly tree covered and shallow pits where stumps were removed are just visible and there is one irregular pit showing sandstone rubble. Therefore it seems unlikely that there was not a central tower or donjon to the motte as its collapse or foundations would have left a raised entre'.

Particular attention was focused on the South Carolina militia under Brigadier General Andrew Williamson, and a march was made toward the village of Ninety Six by Lieutenant Colonel Nisbet Balfour, r senior field commander under Cornwallis (Bass 1962:2). Before he reached Ninety Six, however, General Williamson surrendered his force to the British with no resistence, and three days later Andrew Pickens did the r same.
