Conduct targeting. SF majors who are not selected to be S-3 operations officers for a Group (brigade-level organization) are rarely considered competitive for tactical command, however SF Groups do not fight as Groups, normally SF fights as teams. Pizarro was eventually killed by his own people, but the Inca Empire was forever lost. My empiricism is not the empiricism that you sometimes criticize, is it? The personnel system promotes, evaluates, and selects SOF personnel for command under the same construct as the conventional force personnel. Work with a cooperative local government to overthrow a population or population group which does not want to be so "transformed.". The human domain![vi] This conversation happened, supposedly, in the context of a discussion about the Armys Seventh Warfighting Function (WfF), which as a concept is still being worked, but would add a function to the Armys list of those six things it must now do to theoretically maximize combat power. Gentlemen: Have we not gotten off track somewhat? I would agree that we (the U.S. Military types) don't know what to do with all this stuff we currently can't measure. Any Medical Service Corps (MSC) officer worth his or her salt can quickly recite the 10 medical functions: medical mission command, medical treatment, hospitalization, medical evacuation, dental. Maneuver is the means by which commanders mass the effects of combat power to achieve surprise, shock, and momentum. For the human domain, art is the key. Risk cannot be taken in education and training if one is to prioritize SW. Of course it is very difficult to measure the impact of education and training on national objectives and it is near impossible to articulate the requirements for doing so, but I would argue this is more the result of our bureaucracys requirements than it is our ability to articulate. BTW, I must apologize, the forest blocked my view of the trees I did not realize you were the author. What Is a Mass Grave? A warfighting function is a group of tasks and systems (people, organizations, information, and processes) united by a common purpose that commanders use to accomplish missions and training objectives. Multi-framing would be so ingrained as to be almost unconscious: a result of intimate familiarity with how humans make sense of their world through socially-constructed metaphors. A warfighting function is a group of tasks and systems (people, organizations, information, and processes) united by a common purpose that commanders use to accomplish missions and training objectives. The 7 Warfighting Functions maneuver fires intelligence logistics force protection command and control information Maneuver is the. The protection warfighting function enables the commander to maintain the forces integrity and combat power. It was the application of human nature to a military situation. I first noticed this in Afghanistan where a few of us sat down and attempted to make sense of the disconnect between our official pronouncements and doctrine and the reality of what commanders were doing and saying privately. Sustainment. The commander and staff leverage the intelligence enterprise, coach and train the intelligence core competencies, implement the operations and intelligence processes, and direct the intelligence effort through the intelligence capabilities. In addition, they are more likely to remain fixated on the hyper-tactical level of operations. AND by the way such in house on post training does not cost an arm and a leg to conduct. I'd say that the art of the sublime would help us in that we would not shy away from admitting these things. What happens when the local populations finally after being brutually held down and are afraid to even come out of their houses DOES come out of their houses fully armed and willing to defend their villages/towns/cities? Within Internalized Social Change, the social anthropological method of Participatory Observation is closest to the function of what SOF, and others acting within the Human Domain would be involved with: one would literally be involved in participatory action, observation, learning, and influencing- the emphasis being on participatory: meaning that one would be influenced just as much as the other being observed. Preferably we would rigorously experiment with different constructs and approaches as our norm. As usual there are a multitude of reasons. Internalized change, however, is that change which comes from within- whether perceived or not. Maxwell said the War on Terrorism defined protection by entry control points, barriers, persistent ground surveillance system blimps, and even the technologically-advanced counter rocket, artillery. The Mission Command function allows commanders to balance their command and control duties while integrating the other Warfighting Functions. [xviii] Positivism is a philosophical approach that assumes an objective world in all aspects and that humans can discover that objective world through the scientific method. For them, uncertainty is a threat; its admission a sign of weakness. You cannot believe how many times I tried to explain that to MNF-I in countless HUMINT reports. Our adversaries are using . I don't mean to nitpick, as your example is notional, and I am reading a little between the lines. In the natural world, this underlying mechanism refers to the natural laws that have visible effects -- for example, gravity or aging. RantCorp---lack of observation skills by the Force is also another problem-especially from our side--there are a number of basic infantry skill sets that have largely disappeared that no one seems to recognize. These tasks are; The purpose of the Int WFF is to know what is happening. Human domains, or narratives, or strategic contexts, or ecosystems, or understanding situations, must, of necessity, begin with the self. The U.S. military has become more professional, more centrally-managed, more technologically-enhanced, and more regimented since the ramp-up for the Cold War saddled the American people with a relatively large professional force. The Theory of War (Continued) Offense Contributes striking power. The primary purpose of the command and control warfighting function is to assist commanders in integrating then other elements of combat power (leadership, information, M2, intelligence, fires, sustainment, and protection) to achieve objectives and accomplish missions. Listed below are the main points from those ideas. Administrative movement (generally movement via strategic transport) is included in the Sustainment WFF. It was designed to break the will of the population and force the Churchill to sue for peace. A warfighting culture is exactly that, it's a culture. The first historically recognized terrorists, the Jewish Zealots, targeted the temple priests and wealthy elites, the people who held the power. Agree with you that a deeper problem (THE problem?) If war is the pursuit of one's political objective by other means, then soldiers and statesmen -- long before the enemy -- must know, acknowledge, plan and prepare specifically as relates to this political objective. [ii] See Stan Wiechniks excellent article, Political Legitimacy and Values in the Small Wars Journal, 17 NOV 2013, for a discussion on the importance of values within the more population-centric missions as opposed to those subjects like governance normally found within our doctrine. RantCorp--now you understand the reason why we lost Iraq and AFG. c. If the conservative/anti-western reform elements are in power, then you are probably embarked upon war to convince, coerce, compel or overthrow this unfriendly/uncooperative government -- who is resisting western change -- and to replace this government with one that will pursue our political objective (outlined above). Rather, they are a heuristic model for understanding descriptively the way power can be directed to achieve ends on the battlefield. Law and the killing of a Russian propagandist: Some Q & A BY CHARLIE DUNLAP, J.D. [xxxiii] I would argue SOF played catch-up after 2001 and that it wasnt until 2003 or a little later that the tactical level headquarters (Group- although I dispute that a deployed Group HQ is tactical) began mimicking the bureaucracy of its higher headquarters. We will do all of this while we continue down a path that relegates us to being little better than our conventional brethren in terms of operational and strategic prowess. Technical rationality (TR) is closely linked to positivist philosophy and is the antithesis of critical realism: TR assumes the social world can be treated the same as the physical world in terms of philosophical approaches and using the scientific method can gain knowledge about it that can be exploited in action in the future. Finally, how to understand "the oppressed" in terms of our political objective. If youd like to learn more about this subject, check out the book you see below on Amazon. For example, even if say an AQ affiliate is killing some of the local population in their attacks on the government why is it they still find resonance/support in portions of the same attacked population---we never did attempt o understand that in Iraq. Every village that does not have the safety and security of the institutions that were formed to do so, can be armed in self-defense of their rights, their property, their lives. At some Effective maneuver requires close coordination with fires. "Yet no matter how much we may focus on the diversity of opinions, customs, attitudes and interests within each community, in the end it is not the diversity that defines the conflict but the conflict that defines social attitudes that are widely shared.". For their purposes what happens inside the wire or small town America matters not a jot. Why Protect Mass Graves? In the past, it was the communists who denied various populations these benefits. b. 7 Recent . What could be more logical, I think, than looking at human emotion and motivations, as tricky as it is to understand such things, perhaps even impossible and too mysterious? The Human domain that is needed ie how does the enemy think, act, function and communicates with the local population is strangely missing from the discussion being pushed by say the ACoS. What doesnt influence human behavior- even if one caveats it with to the extent that success of a campaign depends on it? It is what makes bringing a cookie-cutter approach to COIN and UW to be such a terrible idea, and yet our bureaucracy forces us into these approaches at the operational and higher levels. This function provides Army leadership the means to use a targeting process in relation to indirect fires, missile defense, and joint fires in a way that keeps United States troops safe while delivering fires in support of offensive or defensive operations. Sustainment determines the depth and duration of Army operations. I assume.". With that being said, there has been a push to allow our warfighters greater freedoms with these tools because its being argued that we are losing the message and by allowing greater freedom with these tools we are allowing our warfighters to get the positive message out. This is a realm consisting more of social facts (as opposed to physical facts such as artillery trajectories and tank speed), influenced more by language and culture, and largely constructed by the inhabitants as to meaning. Since the "old" individual SF soldier as well founded in UW it was easy to shift between the various Projects, Mike Forces,and A Teams and one did not loss a single minute---AND one did not "feel" that one was being degraded if one shifted from say SR back to a CIDG team or to a Mike Force. Certainly an insight into the latter three can be gained from understanding the local culture. Dont have the answer, just believe we have been approaching the problem from a myopic viewpoint. A war to resist westernization and to preserve or reinstate their more traditional/preferred way of life and way of governance.). They will have experience high, low, strong, light and variable: snowfall , wind, rain, fog, temperature & humidity - in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It does have a important military purpose. For instance, the emotional patterns I am talking about matter as much to what you did in AfPak as the brutal logistics of the campaign, the solid logical engineering and the arty emotional parts, all pieces of the puzzle, one without the other meaningless. What keeps them in the fight is they are observant and patient and both of those come free. If you have watched the borderland beat site for over the last few years---we in the watching the failing of a major "democratic" country directly on our immediate border with TCOs driven their trade deeper into the major cities using violence much like AQ in Iraq. Carefully read the passage and choose the best answer for the question that follows. As Behavioralism was influenced by Comteon Positivism- it is logical that we are Positivists- that is, we believe if we just gather enough data, the answers to all of life's complex problems will become obvious to us. Any armed group of men funded by anyone can do the ally part. Despite vicious religious practices, the Aztec demonstrated ingenuity by inventing an innovative farming technique to grow crops among the 30 canals of Tenochtitlan. The purpose of WFF is to provide an intellectual organisation for common critical capabilities available to commanders and staffs at all echelons and levels of warfare. Protection efforts must consider and account for threats and hazards in all directions, at all times, and in all environments. We Westerners suffer from the belief that everyone is just like us. The information warfighting function provides the Army with a method to integrate these critical capabilities and help drive a change in the self-limiting centralization of IRCs when able. The purpose of the Fires WFF is to engage threat elements with lethal and less-lethal joint fires and effects, usually in coordination with manoeuvring ground forces (M2 WFF). The first is the more political aspects of military operations. This practitioner further learns while doing, always able to revisit assumptions due to an intellectual humbleness with respect to the world. Observation/surveillance is the only tool that allows for any UW cell to survive. Or, 2. Logistics 6. How to Protect Mass Graves? After the eventual surrender, Cortez burned the city and destroyed the greatest monuments of Aztec culture. The scope of engagement may include Other Government Agencies (OGA), Non-Government Organisation (NGO), Host Nation (HN) Government, and key elements within the civil community in general. These advocates recommended the adoption of critical realism, multi-paradigmatic frames and the like. Its certainly a sticky issue and Im not sure what the right mix of security and positive public affairs efforts are. No COP, firebase, airfield, etc. That is, unconventional tactics (e.g. [v] Art in this case refers to military art, but also to innovation and Mission Command as well the concepts of multi-framing, learning-in-action, and the afore-mentioned critical and creative thinking. But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience. Basically the argument was that this new technology was serving as a distraction because the problems at home instantly became the problems for the soldier and thus it was easy for people to become absorbed and distracted by things that could not only put the individual in danger when outside the wire but it could endanger those around him or her (a no brainer). The sublime for SOF, especially those within the Special Warfare framework, can also be art. What I find interesting about this revelation is that looking back it becomes almost tragic that we have completely ignored the ability to do or allow our own warfighters to have free run of using open sourced reconnaissance while our enemies have not neglected this and in fact have used it to great success. The function includes tasks associated with force projection related to gaining a positional advantage over an enemy. Movement is necessary to disperse and displace the force as a whole or in part when maneuvering. All warfighting functions possess scalable capabilities to mass lethal and nonlethal effects. This is most likely well and good when SOF is engaged in doing the so-called surgical strike missions of which our nation (and our government to a large extent- to include USSOCOM) is enamored with as of late. Herein, would I be wrong to suggest that: The goal re: the human domain generally and LTC Martin's participatory observation specifically is to first achieve and then maintain excellent relationships with the local people; this, so that we might be able to establish and field indigenous forces to: a. The guerrillas M1E is the one piece of equipment that is just as sophisticated and capable as our own. While I'm at it, let me show you the type of thing I like to consider (my favorite topic, Americans and their reactions to "South Asia"): There is a book called, The Life and Loves of a United States Naval Aviator by Harry Carter which describes in a few passages his time (along with his wife) in Pakistan working with the Navy. Combat Power is, in and of itself, an abstraction, but the military has given this abstraction a formula to make it more real and quantitative, theoretically taking the ambiguity out of assembling functions together for the making of war and allowing a more checklist-like approach. Russian and Saurists posts after 1978 and ISAF and GoIRA over the past 12 years. I submit that art has a place in war, although many of us military types are a little uncomfortable about the word. While that may be correct, I did not list it here because I believe Special Operations itself, uses the six above, which would make it a unit using the system. This is juxtaposed with an operation like Desert Storm in which the objectives were clear and limited in both scope and time, even if they were limited somewhat artificially and ignoring the obvious connection to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Meanwhile, are we flailing about without a coherent way to attack and destroy the terrorists power base because weve neglected to correctly identify what their power base is and how best to go about attacking it? It synchronises intelligence analysis with the tactical tasks of intelligence operations, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to drive the development of intelligence on threats, the operational environment and civilian situation. That's funny. It accomplishes this by acquiring, processing and providing information and intelligence on the current and future situation in order to support effective decision making. Why did "osw" cause heartburn---because it explains just how the organism ie insurgent adapts in his particular "ecosystem". Just using the comment below sets the stage for a massive exercise in critical thinking and team discussions that do not fit the standard Powerpoint MDMP presentation. we turn to our warfighting philosophy found in MCDP 1, Warfighting. Thus, we faced a problem: design pointed to our philosophy as being the problem, but we were wedded to our philosophy. Command Deck . Required fields are marked *, Copyright (c) 2022 / Part-Time-Commander.com. I must add that many would say that Special Operations is a separate Army Warfighting Function. The other says it is wholly wrong. Its language is one of math and formulaic metaphor,[xvii] its logic is the scientific method, and its philosophy is of the Enlightenment Period. Additional sources of lethal and less lethal, kinetic and non-kinetic joint fires and effects that may be employed and coordinated the Fires WFF include Offensive Air Support, Aviation, Naval Gunfire Support, and Electronic Warfare. For example where there is a communal society with central leadership applying concepts that work in a democracy are useless and potentially counterproductive. I believe that SOF, or at least the Green Berets, should remain in the unconventional world and not get bogged down with the limitations the Conventional Army places on creative thinking. (See below). This process is ongoing and commanders use tasks in: to obtain this intelligence. That we have segregated some war fighting functions along conventional and special lines is an historical reality, not a necessity. All warfighting functions possess scalable capabilities to mass lethal and nonlethal effects. I seriously doubt it. If we would have "understood" the Iraqi insurgency we actually would have seen the strategy being used vs only the symptoms ie the battle field tactics. The force learns them, regurgitates them, has faith in them, and many defend them without question. Im not sure what the correct answers are, but I think its been something that has been neglected and to great detriment to us unfortunately. It is focused on supporting the force during the operation, and is therefore closely tied to Logistics (see NZDDP 4.0). I guess there really is nothing new under the sun. Domains are simply constructs for understanding a situation. Regardless of the constructs philosophical issues, why are Special Operations Forces (SOF) pushing for a new Army warfighting function and why is the Army supporting SOF in doing so? The NZ Army utilises US Army warfighting as described in ADP 3-0 Operations, July 2019. Officers are power point deep on their MDMP- it is fill-in-the-blank thinking- if you can call that "thinking"- since much of it is copied/pasted from higher's OPORDs. What are the 7 warfighting functions? This human domain/participatory observation concept looks like it is to be accomplished in times of peace (today and the immediate future?) In plain English, the 7th WfF is all of the tasks and systems that military units would need to do or have to influence people, taking into account the socio-economic, cognitive, and physical aspects of human activity". Our technical surveillance enables smart weapons which largely depend on digitized enabled surveillance. Outlaw09, As not all sources and agencies will be owned by the force element, the Int WFF by necessity includes the requirement for integration of intelligence architecture and liaison with allied intelligence agencies. A warfighting function (WFF) is a group of tasks and systems united by a common purpose that commanders use to accomplish missions and training objectives. If you think that AQI killed a large number of locals in Iraq try even understanding the current numbers in Mexico---if one thought Iraq did not have a functioning governance Mexico is even worse and they claim they are democratic. The position supports the Joint Staff J8 Warfighting Analysis Division (WAD) to understand, model and interpret U.S., ally, partner, and adversary . I add to the conversation only to throw out my thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of the human domain concept. Ganjgal troops that do not get their "technical rationality" (a term coined first in 1941 when the technical was a fraction of what it is today) get pummeled. [i] Ana Purna gives a good description of critical realism on ehow.com (http://www.ehow.com/info_8770255_critical-realism.html): The major themes are these: A reality exists independent of human conception and perception. [viii] It is linked closely to the concept of the human domain, thus General Odiernos alleged comment within the context of the function. This is an interesting discussion. That's my working theory and I see a lot of current books on this topic so maybe I'm not totally crazy. The other article about the Montagnards illustrates that no matter how well intentioned and capable the SF community and USAID is, they simply lack the numbers and self-security to make a large impact over large areas. The American way of war places a premium on the physical aspects of conflict. To this end I don't necessarily understand the distinction you make between CF and SOF. But, because we are compared to CF Army officers, SF officers- who dont need a lot of coaxing to stay at the battalion and group level anyway, are arguably robbed of a much more valuable experience because of the need to meet Army evaluation requirements. The belief that a well informed insight into the cultural environment of a typical Afghan village would equip you to deal with an armed opponent strikes me as quite absurd. It is this fundamental characteristic that defines land force operations. It accomplishes this by engaging with non-military elements, conducting support and development activities to and with them, and coordinating actions between them and the force. New York: The New Press. This fact is the real ball-breaker. He relies on it very heavily when shaping his tactical and operational planning process. Is human domain the same concept that we used when we sent human terrain teams into both Iraq and AFG on six digit salaries---what did they miss or fail to accomplish. As I said in my comment above, Kilcullen's ecosystems seems to me to be another way of saying "this is the world as I understand it," which isn't really a new concept. The human domain, a conceptualization of the influence that populations have on military operations, is one way of viewing reality. To successfully incorporate informa - tion as a warfighting function, Marine leaders on all levels need to better un-derstand the information domain or how information flows in a metaphysi - cal realm. I'm not so sure the world is a safer or better place than it was 12 years ago. In the old days of SF UW when the mission was given to us during isolation the first thing a team did was to kick back and go into what one would call the "what if" mode---regardless of how crazy some of the comments or ideas where we went completely through until that was nothing left that could have surprised us ---then the true conversations started and all ideas reviewed and tossed until we were comfortable with the remaining one or two. QUOTE: b. Under democratic theory the political power rested with the people. Standardization serves a purpose in a large organization but it is stifling in small groups. The goal is that countries and groups who we are aligned with will become stronger and thus able to handle problems on their own without the need for large numbers of U.S. troops, which arguably get in the way of long-term progress anyway. But, this is a great example of where using CF terminology and philosophical constructs is hurting SOF: CF submits that tactical goes up to brigade level and even possibly division. Integrate all forms of Army, joint and multinational fires. The related tasks and systems that move and employ forces to achieve a position of relative advantage over the enemy and other threats. When all came back in I was chastised for not running to the bunkers---my response was they were over 500 meters away and walking away from the initial impact point---a lot of dumb looks and a few questions as to what I meant by "walking" rounds and walking away from the impact point and how did I know it was 500 meters---this was 2005/2006 and I am betting it has not improved much since then. Complete discussions by all ranks and ages---and we ran MDMP even in the 60s but it was creative and free thinking for all until the team was comfortable with the solution. This is anathema to what is needed for building an SW force able to operate within the human domain, but alas we are beholden to a requirements process that is set up to facilitate the bureaucracy. So while our enemy understands us, I believe that we have a hard time understanding them insofar as we dont know how to defeat them. Art, admittedly, forces one to take risk.
