Website/ AOC homepage
Describe the key capabilities of BMRPT.
BMRPT is a Java based tool that generates formatted execution summaries of missions and resources during the execution of the ABP.
provides the user with the capabilities to open multiple independently configurable, filterable, sortable and nameable displays of the reported data, each with different report data.
Identify the duty position in combat operations responsible for approving changes to the ATO.
CCO
Identify the application used to enter ATO changes into the TBMCS
MCAMP
Describe the method Combat Operations Division (COD) personnel use to submit changes to the ATO.
The mission change process in Combat Operations begins with a duty officer creating an ATO change sheet.
The duty officer will transfer the current mission information onto the change sheet and annotate the requested changes to that mission in the adjacent column on the change sheet.
The duty officer will coordinate the request through the appropriate persons (Cell chief, tanker duty officer, SADO, SODO) ending with the CCO for final approval.
Identify the three areas of law that affect military operations
International, Foreign and United States domestic law
State the reason JAGs are a specialty team within the AOC.
The role of JAGs in an AOC is to employ legal expertise and resources to control and exploit the legal environment across the full spectrum of operational missions.
JAGs are organized in the AOC as a specialty team and work directly for the JFACC which allows the JFACC, all key JAOC divisions and all of the specialty functions within the JAOC access to legal advice.
Identify the basis of ROE.
Primary means by which the Pres/SECDEF through the JCS and the CCDR provide guidance to deployed forces in peacetime for handling crises and in wartime toe help control the level of hostilities.
ROE are not formulated in a vacuum, but are based on several factors, all of which must be considered in the drafting and/or reviewing process. These factors include the law (international, foreign and domestic), policy (domestic and international), and military (operational) concerns.
Define hostile intent.
Hostile intent is the threat of imminent use of force by a foreign force or terrorist unit (organization or individual) against the United States, US forces and in certain circumstances, US citizens, their property, US commercial assets and other designated non-US forces, foreign nationals and their property.
When there is a demonstration of hostile intent the right exists to use proportional force, including armed force, in self defense by all necessary means available to deter or neutralize the potential attacker or, if necessary, to destroy the threat.
Identify the purpose of supplemental ROE,
Supplemental measures of the SROE provides a mechanism for subordinate commands to request additional engagement authorities and sets a specific format for the issuance of ROE serial messages.
Describe the CO missions.
Determine the difference between the Cyber Protection Team (CPT) and the Combat Mission Team (CMT).
Cyber Protections used for defensive and Combat Mission Team used for Offensive
Describe cyberspace actions that support joint military operations.
Cyberspace Attack- designed to create a noticeable denial effect in cyberspace, (degradation, disruption, or destruction)
Cyberspace Exploitation- any action that enhances future military operations intended to create cyberspace attack effects
Cyberspace Defense- put countermeasures in place to defeat a breach or to prevent the threat of a breach
Cyberspace security-prevent the unauthorized access of systems
Identify the position that manages offensive operations in the COD.
SODO
Identify the position that supervises enlisted personnel within the Offensive Operations Team.
SODOT
Identify the positions that manage specific mission types on the Offensive Operations Team.
Offensive Duty Officers (ODO)
Identify the effects achieved by employing various weapon types.
Blast: The blast effect is caused by the tremendous overpressures generated by the detonation of a high explosive. (HE)
Fragmentation: The explosion of a bomb also involves creating bomb fragments.
Armor Penetration: requires high kinetic energy and also a direct hit to be effective against armor targets.
Cratering (Penetration): The cratering effects is normally achieved through the use of a GP bomb with delayed fuzing.
Incendiary: Fire is effective in interrupting operations of the enemy personnel and in damaging supplies stored in the open.
Identify the characteristics associated with various weapon types.
Guns: Found on many current fighters
GP bombs: MK81 250lbs, MK82 500lbs, MK83 1000lbs, MK 84 2000 lbs
CBUs are loaded with sub-munitions. The higher the CBU dispenser opens, the larger the impact area.
CBU-87: good weapon against armor, personnel, artillery and other similar targets.
CBU-89: designed as an anti-tank minefield weapon, contains antipersonnel mines thrown in to make clean up more difficult.
CBU-97 Sensor-Fuzed Weapon: anti-armor weapon.
WCMD: is a tail kit that adds an INS.
PGMs Precision guided Munitions (PGM): increase accuracy, reduce the number of bombing runs needed to destroy a target, and limit aircrew exposure to threat.
LGBs:
GBU-10 2000lbs
GBU-12 500lbs
GBU-24 2,000lbs
GBU-54 500lbs JDAM uses laser designator to update coordinates
GPS coordinate dependent Weapons INS/GPS
GBU-31 2000lbs
GBU-32 1000lbs
GBU-38 500lbs
GBU-39 250lbs
Fuzing:
Time: functions after a preset elapsed time
Proximity: functions at a radar sensed altitude or from a magnetic disturbance
Impact: Instantaneous or zero delay
Distinguish between cognitive and physical aspects of the Information Environment.
Cognitive- encompass the human aspects through which information is transmitted, received, understood and responded to or acted on.
Includes culture, beliefs, norms, vulnerabilities, motivations, emotions, experiences, morals, education, mental health, identities, and ideologies.
Physical- C2 systems and facilities, key decision makers and supporting infrastructure that enable individuals and organizations to create effects.
People, newspapers, books , microwave towers, computer devices, servers, smart phones and any other objects that are subject to empirical measurement.
Describe how the joint force leverages information.
The joint force operationalizes the information joint function through operational design in planning of operations that use information and deliberately leverage the inherent informational aspects of its activities, and by conducting OIE.
Distinguish the informational capabilities of MISO, MILDEC and OPSEC.
MISO: planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups and individuals in a manner favorable to the originator’s objectives.
OPSEC- Process of identifying and analyzing critical information and friendly actions related to military operations or other activities and executing measures that eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to adversary exploitation.
MILDEC- the actions executed to deliberately mislead adversary military, paramilitary or violent extremist organization decision makers, thereby causing the adversary to take specific actions (or inactions) that will contribute to the accomplishments of the friendly mission.
