JP 3-05.1 Joint Special Operations Task Force Operations Joint Publication 3-05.1 Joint Special Operations Task Force Operations 26 April 2007 PREFACE 1. Scope This publication provides joint doctrine for organizing, planning, preparing, and executing joint special operations task force (JSOTF) operations to include targeting and mission planning. It also provides guidance for establishing command relationships normally associated with a JSOTF or theater special operations command. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. 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 the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence 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 i Preface United States, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command’s doctrine and procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine.

SHARP Lieutenant General, USA Director, Joint Staff ii JP 3-05.1 SUMMARY OF CHANGES REVISION OF JOINT PUBLICATION 3-05.1 DATED 1 DECEMBER 2001 • Consolidates Joint Publication (JP) 3-05.1, Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Joint Special Operations Task Force Operations, and JP 3-05.2, Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Special Operations Targeting and Mission Planning • Updates special operations (SO) joint doctrine • Reflects the change from SO missions and collateral activities to core tasks • Reflects the inclusion of special operations forces and conventional forces integration • Updates a joint special operations task force (JSOTF) headquarters organization and responsibilities • Clarifies JSOTF command and control relationships • Includes an expanded discussion of SO targeting and mission planning • Reflects current joint doctrine as pertains to contingency and crisis action planning • Updates joint doctrine that pertains to JSOTF planning, operations, intelligence, logistics, and communications • Deletes the chapter on training, exercises, and assessments • Adds a chapter on information management iii Summary of Changes Intentionally Blank iv JP 3-05.1 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ................................................................................................ xi CHAPTER I DOCTRINAL OVERVIEW OF JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS • Special Operations Forces ..........................................................................................

    Data Preparation & Descriptive Statistics (ver. 2.4) Oscar Torres-Reyna Data Consultant [email protected] PU/DSS/OTR http://dss.princeton.edu/training/ Basic definitions… For statistical analysis we think of data as a collection of different pieces of information or facts. These pieces of information are called variables. A variable is an identifiable piece of data containing one or more values. Those values can take the form of a number or text (which could be converted into number) In the table below variables var1 thru var5 are a collection of seven values, ‘id’ is the identifier for each observation. This dataset has information for seven cases (in this case people, but could also be states, countries, etc) grouped into five variables. id var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 1 7.3 32.27 0.1 Yes Male 2 8.28 40.68 0.56 No Female 3 3.35 5.62 0.55 Yes Female 4 4.08 62.8 0.83 Yes Male 5 9.09 22.76 0.26 No Female 6 8.15 90.85 0.23 Yes Female 7 7.59 54.94 0.42 Yes Male PU/DSS/OTR Data structure… For data analysis your data should have variables as columns and observations as rows. The first row should have the column headings. Make sure your dataset has at least one identifier (for example, individual id, family id, etc.) id var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 First row should have the variable names 1 7.3 32.27 0.1 Yes Male 2 8.28 40.68 0.56 No Female Cross-sectional data 3 3.35 5.62 0.55 Yes Female 4 4.08 62.8 0.83 Yes Male 5 9.09 22.76 0.26 No Female 6 8.15 90.85 0.23 Yes Female 7 7.59 54.94 0.42 Yes Male id year var1 var2 var3 1 2000 7 74.03 0.55 Group 1 1 2001 2 4.6 0.44 At least one identifier 1 2002 2 25.56 0.77 2 2000 7 59.52 0.05 Cross-sectional time series data Group 2 2 2001 2 16.95 0.94 or panel data 2 2002 9 1.2 0.08 3 2000 9 85.85 0.5 Group 3 3 2001 3 98.85 0.32 3 2002 3 69.2 0.76 PU/DSS/OTR NOTE: See: http://www.statistics.com/resources/glossary/c/crossdat.php Data format (ASCII)… ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).

    R&D Centre for Mobile Applications (RDC) FEE, Dept of Telecommunications Engineering Czech Technical University in Prague RDC Technical Report TR-13-4 Internship report Evaluation of Compressibility of the Output of the Information-Concealing Algorithm Julien Mamelli, [email protected] 2nd year student at the Ecole´ des Mines d'Al`es (N^ımes,France) Internship supervisor: Luk´aˇsKencl, [email protected] August 2013 Abstract Compression is a key element to exchange files over the Internet. By generating re- dundancies, the concealing algorithm proposed by Kencl and Loebl [?], appears at first glance to be particularly designed to be combined with a compression scheme [?]. Is the output of the concealing algorithm actually compressible? We have tried 16 compression techniques on 1 120 files, and the result is that we have not found a solution which could advantageously use repetitions of the concealing method. Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Luk´aˇsKencl, for his guidance and expertise throughout the course of this work. I would like to thank Prof. Robert Beˇst´akand Mr Pierre Runtz, for giving me the opportunity to carry out my internship at the Czech Technical University in Prague. I would also like to thank all the members of the Research and Development Center for Mobile Applications as well as my colleagues for the assistance they have given me during this period. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 Related Work 4 2.1 Information concealing method . 4 2.2 Archive formats . 5 2.3 Compression algorithms . 5 2.3.1 Lempel-Ziv algorithm .

    2nd INFANTRY REGIMENT 1110 pages (approximate) Boxes 1243-1244 The 2nd Infantry Regiment was a component part of the 5th Infantry Division. This Division was activated in 1939 but did not enter combat until it landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, three days after D-Day. For the remainder of the war in Europe the Division participated in numerous operations and engagements of the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns. The records of the 2nd Infantry Regiment consist mostly of after action reports and journals which provide detailed accounts of the operations of the Regiment from July 1944 to May 1945. The records also contain correspondence on the early history of the Regiment prior to World War II and to its training activities in the United States prior to entering combat. Of particular importance is a file on the work of the Regiment while serving on occupation duty in Iceland in 1942.
