definition: OMFTS
apply
maneuver warfare
to
expeditionary power projection
in
naval operations
as part of a
joint multinational campaign
Principles of OMFTS
- focus on the operational objective
- use the sea as maneuver space
- generate overwhelming tempo/momentum
- pit friendly strength against adversary weakness
5.
6.
4 of the 7 things OMFTS enables the force to do
shadder the adversary cohesion,
pose menacing dillemas,
sdisrupt ive firepower,
establish superior tempo
2 principles that comprise STOM
EMW: expeditionary maneuver warfare
OMFTS
STOM
tactical implementation of OMFTS by MAGTF to achieve to achieve the JFC operational objectives
AND
ist he applicaton of maneuver warfare to amphibious oeprations at the tactical level
what does STOM invovle
rapid employment of the MAFTF
by air/surface maens
from amphibious/sea base
to objectives in the littoral ro beyond
how does STOM treat the sea
as maneuver space
sea is both a protective barrier
AND
unrestricted avenue of appreach
difference between STOM & sthip to shore movement
thurst expeditionary forces ashore at multiple points
to
concentrate at decisive place/time
in sufficient strenght
to enable success,
secure teh beachhead
in ship to shore movements
objective of STOM
create multiple dillemas too numerous for the adversary to respond to thereby disruopting their cohesiveness and diminishing the adversary will/capacity to react
benefits of sea basing
sea base some of the fire support
&
much of the logistical support
reduces the footprint of forces ashore
while
maintaining the tempo of the operation
3 major agencies that run the FHA program for the US
USAID
FODA
Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and HA
HCA
Humanitarian & Civic Assistance
special conditions of HCA
- must fulfill un it training requirements
- strive to meet desired MOE
- benefit local population
limitations to HCA
- medical/dental/vet care in rural areas
- rudimentary ocnstruction infrastructure, & repairs
what provides geographic CCDR w/immediate life-saving assistance fundign to countries in their regions
OHDACA: overseas humanitarian, disaster, and civic aid
by law, the criteria USC Title 10 gives for FHA/DR
- must promote the security interests of the US & country in which teh activity will be conducted
- operational readiness/skills of the US forces
unit’s O&MN that can fund a small scale HCA opportunity that arises in teh OE during the course of an exercise or operation in a foreign coutnry
de minimimus HCA
5 things to keep in mind when doing a Humanitarian & Civic Assistance project
- must promote both US & foreign country security interests
- promote operational readiness of the US forces
- compliment but not duplicate other US forms of assistance
- serves basic economic/social needs of the country’s people
- not used by any individual/group engaging in military/paramility activity
