Mod 3-Additional Cards Flashcards
What are 2 categories of UW Logistics/Supply
- Accompanying (what ODA brings)
2. External (Supplies delivered from outside the UWOA/JSOA by the Sponsor)
What are the 3 types of External Supplies when talking about UW Logistics
- Automatic (preplanned, usually activated after successful infil and radio contact)
- On-Call (items with unpredictable consumption)
- Emergency (mission essential equipment to restore capabilities or ensure survivability)
Define Support to Resistance (STR)
USG policy option to support foreign resistances
What makes STR (UW) an attractive option to USG Policy Makers
UW provides a lower military footprint and signature to the policy makers compared to large-scale military forces.
strategic: main effort (small scale UW) that can be discreetly targeted on the most high-stakes problems with specifically selected, prepared, and supported forces.
UW is an attractive strategic policy option as a global economy-of-force effort in secondary theaters, or a strategic and operational military option as a supporting line of effort to larger joint force campaigns (large scale UW).
T or F: is STR only using 1 part of the national instrument of power?
False
STR can use all elements in DIME
Which part of DIME can be summed as: a mixture of conventional forces and special operations and it will represent varying mixes of traditional and irregular warfare

What are the 2 ways employment methods are done in Phase 6 (Employment)
violent and non lethal
During Phase 6 (Employment) what are the component activities (Underground, Auxiliary, Guerilla Force)
Underground- intelligence collection and subversion
Auxiliary- move personnel / supplies and early warning
Guerilla- target interdiction, high pay off targets, seizing key objectives, attacking lines of communication (heavily used)
What are the 4 key events of Phase 7 (Transition)
Transition to FID
Reach end state of coerce, disrupt or overthrow
Overthrow: Demobilize Resistance/ Insurgency or transition into security/police force
Coerce/Disrupt: cease operations, go dormant or hand off to other agencies or foreign powers
What is needed in order to conduct covert action as part of STR?
a Presidential Finding

How do you define a resistance area command
the largest territorial resistance organization commanded by a senior resistance leader inside a defined resistance area of operations
What are the End States of UW and what do they mean?
- Coerce: Forcing someone and/or entity to so something they would rather not do.
