Study Notes
Chapter 2: Generating and Applying Combat Power
- Army forces integrate capabilities and synchronize warfighting functions to generate combat power
- Successful combat power application requires understanding the enemy and friendly capabilities
- Leaders must understand the strategic environment and threat methods
- Understanding specific enemy situations is crucial
- Understanding how Army forces enable joint operations across multiple domains is vital
Warfighting Functions
- Warfighting functions are a group of tasks and systems united by a common purpose (ADP 3-0)
- Command and control (C2)
- Movement and maneuver
- Intelligence
- Fires
- Sustainment
- Protection
- Warfighting functions provide an intellectual organization for critical capabilities at all echelons
- Warfighting functions are relevant to all types of units and are not branch-specific
Command and Control (C2) Warfighting Function
- Command and control (C2) warfighting function synchronizes and converges all combat power elements (ADP 3-0)
- C2 involves people, processes, networks, and command posts
- Critical for effective decision making and operations tempo
- Supports situational understanding, decision making, and communication networks
- C2 synchronizes other warfighting functions
Movement and Maneuver Function
- Movement and maneuver function moves and employs forces to achieve a relative advantage over the enemy (ADP 3-0)
- Direct fire and close combat are inherent aspects of maneuver
- Force projection is also a part of this function
- Movement is necessary to strategically position and disperse the force
- Maneuver achieves surprise, shock, and momentum
- Requires reconnaissance, surveillance, and security operations
- Supports intel collection and info advantages
- Sustainment is crucial to the effectiveness of the movement and maneuver function
Intelligence Function
- Facilitates understanding of the enemy, terrain, weather, and other aspects of the operational environment (ADP 3-0)
- Involves analyzing info from all sources, including other warfighting functions
- Supportive of force generation, situational understanding, targeting, and info collection
Fires Function
- Creates and converges effects across all domains against the adversary (ADP 3-0)
- Includes lethal and non-lethal effects from Army and joint forces
- Not exclusive to any particular branch or function
- May simultaneously support other warfighting functions
Sustainment Function
- Provides support and services to ensure freedom of action, extended operational reach, and endurance (ADP 3-0)
- Uses capabilities from all domains
- Employs joint and strategic integration
- Critical for operation continuity and resource delivery
Protection Function
- Maintains combat power by preventing or mitigating threats to preserve freedom of action (ADP 3-37)
- Focuses on ensuring enemy detection or effects are mitigated
- Requires appropriate prioritisation of protection efforts with tempo and main efforts
- Important measures include operations security, dispersion, deception, and survivability measures.
Combat Power
- The total means of destructive and disruptive force a military unit can apply against an enemy (JP 3-0)
- Consists of leadership, firepower, information, mobility, and survivability
Leadership
- Most vital aspects of combat power is leadership
- Influences people through purpose, direction, and motivation
Firepower
- Primarily used as the source of lethality
