Unified Land Operations

ATP 3-21.8 PG#1-5 SPC Daniel Medevielle, SSG Jacobsen

UNIFIED LAND OPERATIONS

It is based on the central idea that Army units seize, retain, and exploit the initiative, accepting prudent risk to gain a position of This is accomplished through simultaneous combination of offensive, defensive, and stability-setting conditions for favorable conflict resolution.

Introduction

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW UNIFIED LAND OPERATIONS?

why

To seize, to retain, and to exploit the initiative, Army forces strike the enemy, lethal and nonlethal, in time, places, or manners for which the enemy is not prepared in order to gain an advantage

Foundations of ULO

Army forces conduct decisive and sustainable land operations through the

simultaneous combination of offense, defense, and stability (or defense support of civil

authorities) appropriate to the mission and environment

offensive operation is an operation to defeat or destroy enemy forces and gain control of

terrain, resources, and population centers.

OFFENSIVE

defensive operation is an operation to defeat an enemy attack, gain time, economize forces, and

develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability operations.

DEFENSIVE

A stability operation is an operation conducted outside the United States in coordination with

other instruments of national power to establish or maintain a secure environment and provide

essential governmental services, emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and humanitarian relief.

STABILITY

Defense support of civil authorities(DSCA) is support provided by U.S. Federal military forces, DOD civilians, DOD contract personnel, DOD Component assets, and National Guard forces ) in response to requests for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities for special events.

DSCA

A principle is a comprehensive and fundamental rule or an assumption of central importance that guides how an organization or function approaches and thinks about the conduct of operations

Principles of ULO

Mission command is the Army's approach to command and control that empowers subordinate decision

making and decentralized execution appropriate to the situation

MISSION COMMAND

Developing the situation requires

information. Commanders fight for information while in contact with enemy forces and gather information

through close association with a population.

DEVELOP THE SITUATION THROUGH ACTION

Combined arms is the synchronized and simultaneous application of arms to achieve an effect greater than if each element was used separately or sequentially.

COMBINED ARMS

-Protect combatants, noncombatants, and civilians from unnecessary suffering.

-Provide certain fundamental protections for persons who fall into the hands of the enemy, particularly prisoners of war, civilians, and military wounded, sick, and shipwrecked.

-Facilitate the restoration of peace.

-Help military commanders in ensuring the disciplined and efficient use of military force.

-Preserve the professionalism and humanity of combatants.

ADHERENCE TO THE LAW OF WAR

Army forces perform area security to ensure freedom of action and to deny enemy forces the ability to

disrupt operations. Commanders combine reconnaissance tasks and offensive, defensive, and stability

operations to protect friendly forces, populations, infrastructure, and activities critical to mission

accomplishment

ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN SECURITY

Simultaneous operations across multiple domains—conducted in depth and supported by military

deception—present enemy forces with multiple dilemmas.

Creating multiple dilemmas requires the recognition of opportunities to exploit. Understanding enemy dispositions and capabilities, and the characteristics of the terrain and population, informs situational understanding and course of action development.

CREATE MULTIPLE DILEMMAS FOR THE ENEMY

Tenets of operations are desirable attributes that should be built into all plans and operations and are

directly related to the Army’s operational concept

Tenets

Simultaneity is the execution of related and mutually supporting tasks at the same time across

multiple locations and domains

Simultaneity

Depth is the extension of operations in time, space, or purpose to achieve definitive results.

Depth

Tenets of operations are desirable attributes that should be built into all plans and operations and are

directly related to the Army’s operational concept

Synchronization

Flexibility is the employment of a versatile mix of capabilities, formations, and equipment for

conducting operations.

Flexibility

The application of Combined Arms across multiple Environmental Domains is critical to the success of the Operational Mission as it affects the outcome of how well each piece can synchronize simultaneously with all the other pieces in the different environmental domains to create a holistic picture that can effectively use their flexibility and Mission Command to address situations as they come up
