Book Description
This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-09.12 Field Artillery Target Acquisition July 2015, contains the techniques used to employ and manage field artillery (FA) target acquisition systems. It updates and replaces information formerly contained in field manual (FM) 3-09.12 and incorporates emerging techniques on new equipment such as the AN/TPQ-50 and AN/TPQ-53 radars. It also introduces the new Army Structure of the division artillery (DIVARTY) and the field artillery brigade (FAB). The material contained in this Army techniques publication (ATP) applies to all personnel involved in the target acquisition process. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.12 is maneuver commanders and staffs, FA commanders and staffs, and target acquisition personnel. This is a complete revision to Field Manual (FM) 3-09.12, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Field Artillery Target Acquisition, which updates doctrine, techniques, and deletes obsolete information. ATP 3-09.12 contains the fundamental techniques and guidance required for planning, coordinating, and employing FA target acquisition assets. It provides current information on how to train and conduct operations. It describes the techniques currently being used and known to be effective. The doctrine is consistent with joint, multi-Service, or other Army doctrine. The goal of FA target acquisition is to identify and provide an accurate target location to the supported maneuver commander to allow for immediate counterfire operations against the target. This publication describes current and emerging fires target acquisition systems. Target acquisition systems include the following assets- weapon locating radars (WLR), counterfire operations, and target processing. It explains the techniques for employing radars, counterfire operations, and target processing. This publication describes techniques in non-prescriptive ways to accomplish the mission as stated in the operations order and to employ, maintain, and operate the WLR to locate the enemy indirect weapon systems. ATP 3-09.12 is divided into seven chapters and seven appendices: Chapter 1 Introduction to Field Artillery Target Acquisition. Chapter 2 Counterfire. Chapter 3 Technical Aspects of Weapon Locating Radar Employment. Chapter 4 Employment of Target Acquisition Systems. Chapter 5 AN/TPQ-36/37 Weapon Locating Radar Systems Characteristics.

Pre-Incident Indicators of Terrorist Incidents
Author: Brent L. Smith
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437930611
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Explores whether sufficient data exists to examine the temporal and spatial relationships that existed in terrorist group planning, and if so, could patterns of preparatory conduct be identified? About one-half of the terrorists resided, planned, and prepared for terrorism relatively close to their eventual target. The terrorist groups existed for 1,205 days from the first planning meeting to the date of the actual/planned terrorist incident. The planning process for specific acts began 2-3 months prior to the terrorist incident. This study examined selected terrorist groups/incidents in the U.S. from 1980-2002. It provides for the potential to identify patterns of conduct that might lead to intervention prior to the commission of the actual terrorist incidents. Illustrations.

Pearl Harbor
Author: Homer N. Wallin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780898755657
Category : Pearl Harbor (Hawaii), Attack on, 1941
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pearl Harbor will long stand out in mens minds as an example of the results of basic unpreparedness of a peace loving nation, of highly efficient treacherous surprise attack and of the resulting unification of America into a single tidal wave of purpose to victory. Therefore, all will be interested in this unique narrative by Admiral Wallin. The Navy has long needed a succinct account of the salvage operations at Pearl Harbor that miraculously resurrected what appeared to be a forever shattered fleet. Admiral Wallin agreed to undertake the job. He was exactly the right man for it _ in talent, in perception, and in experience. He had served intimately with Admiral Nimitz and with Admiral Halsey in the South Pacific, has commanded three different Navy Yards, and was a highly successful Chief of the Bureau of Ships. On 7 December 1941 the then Captain Wallin was serving at Pearl Harbor. He witnessed the events of that shattering and unifying "Day of Infamy." His mind began to race at high speeds at once on the problems and means of getting the broken fleet back into service for its giant task. Unless the United States regained control of the sea, even greater disaster loomed. Without victory at sea, tyranny soon would surely rule all Asia and Europe. In a matter of time it would surely rule the Americas. Captain Wallin salvaged most of the broken Pearl Harbor fleet that went on to figure prominently in the United States Navys victory. So the account he masterfully tells covers what he masterfully accomplished. The United States owes him an unpayable debt for this high service among many others in his long career.

Book Description
This United States Army field manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-09.12 Field Artillery Counterfire and Weapons Locating Radar Operations October 2021, contains the fundamental techniques and guidance required for planning, coordinating, conducting FA counterfire, and the employment of FA WLRs. It provides information on how to train and conduct operations and describes the techniques currently being used and known to be effective. The doctrine is consistent with joint, multi-Service, and other Army doctrine. Counterfire is an operations function that aims to accurately engage enemy indirect fire systems once acquired. The counterfire process is not the sole responsibility of the Fires Warfighting function and should be integrated with the planning process through targeting. FA target acquisition (TA) identifies and provides an accurate target location to the supported maneuver commander to allow for immediate counterfire operations against the target. This publication describes current and emerging fires TA systems. The main piece of equipment used for counterfire operations and TA is the WLR. ATP 3-09.12 explains the techniques for counterfire operations, employing and managing WLRs, and target processing. This publication describes TA techniques to accomplish the mission as stated in the operations order and to employ, maintain, and operate WLRs to locate the enemy indirect weapon systems. ATP 3-09.12 is divided into four chapters and eleven appendices: Chapter 1 Introduction to Field Artillery Counterfire and Targeting. Chapter 2 Roles and Responsibilities. Chapter 3 Field Artillery Counterfire/Weapons Locating Radar Sections and Personnel. Chapter 4 Employment Considerations for Weapons Locating Radars. Appendix A Automated Target Data Processing. Appendix B Friendly Fire Log. Appendix C Embedded Training. Appendix D Mask Considerations. Appendix E Support Requirements. Appendix F Tools and Procedures.

Youth Gangs
Author: James C. Howell
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The United States has seen rapid proliferation of youth gangs since 1980. During this period, the number of cities with gang problems increased from an estimated 286 jurisdictions with more than 2,000 gangs and nearly 100,000 gang members in 1980 (Miller, 1992) to about 4,800 jurisdictions with more than 31,000 gangs and approximately 846,000 gang members in 1996(Moore and Terrett, in press). An 11-city survey of eighth graders found that 9 percent were currently gang members, and 17 percent said they had belonged to a gang at some point in their lives (Esbensen and Osgood, 1997).Other studies reported comparable percentages and also showed that gang members were responsible for a large proportion of violent offenses. In the Rochester site of the OJJDP-funded Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency, gang members (30 percent of the sample) self-reported committing 68 percent of all violent offenses (Thornberry, 1998). In the Denver site, adolescent gang members (14 percent of the sample) self-reported committing 89 percent of all serious violent offenses (Huizinga, 1997). In another study, supported by OJJDP and several other agenciesand organizations, adolescent gang members in Seattle (15 percent of the sample) self-reported involvement in 85 percent of robberies committed by the entire sample (Battin et al., 1998).This Bulletin reviews data and research to consolidate available knowledge on youth gangs that are involved in criminal activity. Following a historical perspective, demographic information ispresented. The scope of the problem is assessed, including gang problems in juvenile detention and correctional facilities. Several issues are then addressed by reviewing gang studies to provide aclearer understanding of youth gang problems.An extensive list of references is provided for further review.
