Urban Ops Flashcards
JUO
Joint Urban Operations
- manmade features of density of population = dominants features
- larger ration of mil to civ
- ma have more restrictive op limits
huge consideration of Urban Ops
may have more restrictive op limites than otherwise
Air Op considerations w/urban ops

- collateral damage
- preserve infrastructure
- restrictive ROE
- freedom of maneuver
- line of sight obstruction (communications and targets)
responsibility of our military to restore public services/income post Urban Ops
NOT the job of military to restroe public services or income to prewar levels
- HN takes lead on that
BUT
personnel must help create security conditions that make growth and development possible
what shapes the OE

- reduction of US military presence occurring has created a need for closer relations between friendlies
- this is one way to continee long-term selectively viable presence and association among military counterparts to enhance worldwide security cooperation
- 1:1 reciprocal exchange in support of US interests
