Help the Field Artillery Digital Collection and Archives The Morris Swett Archives has a rich history deep within its collections. Materials can be the first lecture given to students when the School of Fire (Field Artillery School) first opened to the studies and reports on the merger of field artillery and air defense artillery. One can also find student papers from the Field Artillery School, dating from 1911 to 1938. We are slowly adding and updating our digital collections to reflect materials from the Fire Support Research Collection (rare books) and fun items found in the archives. We are looking for more collections to add to our archives. Perhaps you have a family member’s letters or photos from their time in field artillery. We are always interested in histor- ical and unique items to add to the Morris Swett Archives, especially related to Operation Iraqi Feedom/Operation Enduring Freedom. In the meantime, please contact us with any questions and/or to schedule an appointment to start your research in the Morris Swett Digital Collec- tions and Archives.

ACLU-RDI 250 p.1 DODD0A-001597 The enduring theme, "joint warfare is team warfare," is an attitude based on the foundation of joint doctrine that is universally understood and practiced. This team approach ensures the most effective employment of US forces for joint warfare. If we are to continue to improve the structure of US forces for ioint warfare, everyone must be involved. Capstone publications Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of the United States and this publication, Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF), provide the foundation for all the joint publications. Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF) provides the basic doctrine and policy governing the unified direction of forces and discusses the functions of the Department of Defense and its major components. This revision represents the evolution in US warfighting guidance since the last edition, serves as the policy document for all command relationships and other authorities directed by law, and clarifies these relationships. This publication also sets forth the concepts, relationships, and processes necessary for unified action of joint, interagency, and multinational operations and specifies fundamental principles and concepts for joint operations. The nature of modem warfare demands that we fight as a team. Unified action resulting from clear command relationships and unity of effort is crucial to making this possible. Commanders must ensure the widest distribution and application of this and other supporting joint publications in order to enable success in joint force employment. HENRY H.

  • FM 34-130, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (Qty Rqr Block No
    *FM 34-130 i FM 34-130 ii FM 34-130 iii FM 34-130 Preface The purpose of this manual is to describe the fundamentals of intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB). It describes IPB, its use in directing the intelligence effort, and its role in driving the staff’s planning for contingencey or combat operations. It prescribes the procedures followed in performing IPB and illustrates the application of IPB in various situations. This manual is intended to serve as a guide for the use of IPB by units of all types, at all echelons, across the entire spectrum of conflict, and during the conduct of any mission. It does not contain all the data required to conduct IPB, such as specific information on threat doctrine or equipment capabilities. Rather, it is intended as a guide for applying the fundamentals of the IPB process to any situation. No part of this document should be construed as limiting commanders’ freedom of action or committing commanders to a fixed or particular course of action (COA). Nor should it be construed to imply that all IPB products must be prepared by all commands in all situations. Commanders should apply the doctrine and information presented in this manual in any manner appropriate to their particular situation and mission. This manual is intended for Army commanders and staffs at all echelons. It applies equally to the Active Component (AC), United States Army Reserve (USAR), and Army National Guard (ARNG). It is also intended to be of use to commanders and staffs of joint and combined commands; Marine and Naval forces; units of the Air Force; and the military forces of allied countries.

  • On Raising the Rank of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau
    ON RAISING THE RANK OF THE CHIEF OF THE NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves February 2007 Author: Priscilla Offenhauer Project Manager: Alice R.Buchalter Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540−4840 Tel: 202−707−3900 Fax: 202−707−3920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 59 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2007 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division On Raising the Rank of the CNGB PREFACE This report is a contribution to the debate about the advisability and feasibility of elevating the rank of the chief of the National Guard Bureau (CNGB) from that of three-star to four-star general. The report aims to shed light on the debate by examining the primary duties and responsibilities of a number of four-star billets, including the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the unified and specified combatant commanders; the military service chiefs and vice chiefs; the commander, U.S. Forces Korea; and the deputy commander, U.S. European Command. The report also examines various categories of three-star billets to provide a basis for assessing whether the job of the CNGB significantly exceeds the typical three-star billet in responsibilities and scope. The report proposes that a subset of four-star billets exists that might make for a more fruitful comparison with the CNGB position than the frequently used position of military service chief of staff.
