Tropical medicine course CJTF-HOA for medical personnel deployed to Africa.
No full textThe endstate of the Military Tropic Medicine (MTM) Course is to increase force health protection (FHP) and troop readiness, just as FHP was a primary endstate for Britain and U.S. interests with regard to tropical diseases more than a century ago. A more immediate objective in achieving the endstate is to provide medical personnel with relevant knowledge and understanding to address medical issues specific to deployment areas, especially for those who may be a considerable distance from a military base
Leveraging the interagency : insights from the U.S. Department of State leadership, version 2.
No full textThis Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) NEWS FROM THE FRONT (NFTF) provides insights, informed perspectives based on experiences, and highlights lessons and best practices provided by seasoned Department of State (DOS) personnel. The intent is to inform Army and Department of Defense (DOD) personnel at the echelons above brigade (EAB) level about valued skills that DOS personnel bring to the fight, inspire additional exploration and discussion about similarities and differences between the two Departments, and help build a stronger Interagency partnership.
This NFTF contains a discussion on U.S. security strategy and the need to rebalance the national security policy. It includes two original articles pertaining to counterterrorism -- counterterrorism and how the U.S. military needs to develop interagency leaders, capable of performing and succeeding in the complex whole of government environment and the events surrounding the MRTA takeover of the Japanese Ambassador’s residence and lessons learned by both the DOS and DOD. It also contains articles that provide insights on things that Foreign Service officers need to know when they’re working with the US military, a brief history of the Political Advisor (POLAD), and experiences and insights as the POLAD to US Army South
Setting mission command in a geographic theater : U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC).
No full textEstablishing mission command systems is an essential component to setting a geographical theater for military operations and is a core function of the Unites States Army Pacific (USARPAC). Doing so in advance of any contingency operation ensures continuous mission command, and allows headquarters and facilities to be identified, emplaced, and systems to be rehearsed routinely in order to seamlessly command and control Army forces throughout a theater. An Army service component command (ASCC) must set the following mission command conditions: clear lines of command, support relationships, and authorities and the physical structure which allows commanders to have the uninterrupted ability to communicate throughout the depth and breadth of the geographic theater. End state is the uninterrupted reception, staging, onward movement and integration (RSOI) of Army forces for employment. This News From the Front (NFTF) discusses how USARPAC prepares for mission command in its theater, controlling Army forces throughout the Pacific. Further, it illustrates how Pacific Pathways, USARPAC’s exercise strategy, enables the commander to set and rehearse mission command while Army forces flow in and out of theater, allowing mission command to become second nature to its operations. Finally, it provides insights, lessons, and best practices on cyberspace, networks, and information operations that USARPAC has experienced in its mission command systems throughout the Pacific

Standard pallet loading, January 1944.
No full textAn examination and study has been completed by this Headquarters on "palletization" with the view of familiarizing all services with this subject. Throughout the scope of this report, it is planned that the various elements directly affecting pallet loading will be discussed in order that definite policies be established on standardization of loading procedure. Moreover, it is felt that through this standardization it will be possible to anticipate prior to an amphibious operation, the amount of special equipment and material necessary and thereby greatly reducing waste and Inefficiency. While it is realized that the type of equipment, material, etc., will vary from time to time, it is essential that uniform and sound methods be followed in palletizing. In the conduct of this study, field loadings and tests were carried out and photographs taken to detail and bring out pertinent facts. Included, in addition, are prints of pallet types and special equipment and its uses. Certain recommendations are made in the course of the report both to improve loading and handling and to correct errors in procedure. Parts detail the following topics: pallet types and special equipment; standardization of pallet loads; recommended loading of maintenance supplies; and common errors in palletization and corrective measures

Report on the combat operations of the XIX Tactical Air Command.
No full textIn nine months of intensive air operations in cooperation with the Third US Army on the Continent of Europe, the experience of the XIX Tactical Air Command proved the concepts of Field Manual 100-20, "Command and Employment of Air Power," to be basically sound. Tactical missions were planned and executed in the order of priority laid down in that document: (1) Attainment and maintenance of air superiority. (2) Isolation of the battlefield. (3) Close air cooperation with ground units in combat. The following report, which includes pertinent standing operating procedures and other detailed documents, has been prepared with a view to showing clearly the methods of organization and operation employed to carry out the fundamental doctrine. Much of this material was compiled in the last two weeks of the war in Europe in response to a request from the Army Air Forces Evaluation Board for a report on the effectiveness of close-in air cooperation. As revised, expanded, and presented here, the report deals with operations of all three types. The procedures set forth were evolved during months of combat and were in use at the close of the successful campaign in Europe
