Chapter 5 Provide governance support. Stability operations establish conditions that enable actions by civilian and host nation agencies to succeed. Provide economic support and infrastructure development. This support helps the host nation develop capability and capacity in these areas. SECTION III – RULES OF ENGAGEMENT 5-5. In all operations, effective command guidance and a detailed understanding of the ROE are critical. The ROE are not limited to stability operations. Even in general war, U.S. Soldiers may have limitations on the type and extent of weapons they can employ. 5-6. The ROE are directives that explain the circumstances and limitations under which U.S. forces initiate and continue combat engagement with forces encountered. These rules reflect the requirements of the laws of war, operational concerns, and political considerations when the OE shifts from peace to conflict and back to peace. 5-7. The ROE must be briefed and trained to the lowest level. They should be established for, disseminated to, and thoroughly understood by every Soldier in the unit. Commanders must assume that the belligerents they encounter also understand the ROE. These unfriendly elements will attempt to use their understanding of the ROE to their own advantage and to the disadvantage of friendly forces. SECTION IV – DISMOUNTED RECONNAISSANCE TROOP MISSIONS 5-8. Stability operations are complex and demanding. The DRT in a stability operation must maintain their reconnaissance abilities as well as master new skills. In this section, the term “enemy forces” refers to guerillas, terrorists, or insurgent forces that generally try to blend into the local populations and engage in asymmetric warfare. RECONNAISSANCE MISSIONS 5-9. As part of stability operations, the troop conducts reconnaissance either to complement concurrent operations or as a separate mission as directed by the higher commander. <strong>Reconnaissance</strong> is planned and executed to support the stability goals of establishing civil security, establishing civil control, and reconstructing or restoring essential services and governance. (Refer to FM 3-20.96 for further discussion.) Examples of tasks the DRT conducts during reconnaissance in stability operations include: Within capabilities, conducts HUMINT operations, such as determining civilian demographics, tribal affiliations, key leaders, and required essential services. Conducts liaison/negotiation. Executes checkpoints and/or conduct patrols. Conducts tactical questioning. 5-10. The DRT’s capabilities are optimized when given an area reconnaissance mission in restricted terrain with limited vehicular mobility. In this type of terrain, the DRT establishes checkpoints and OPs, conducts patrols, and accomplishes other reconnaissance tasks. It also conducts area reconnaissance missions in urban areas. The dismounted nature of DRT operations are also an advantage in urban stability operations. 5-11. Given an area reconnaissance mission, the DRT usually establishes a CP and assigns AOs to each of its platoons. The commander also considers: Assigning a QRF mission to a designated platoon or an on-call mission for the platoon not in contact. If the mission is lengthy, establishing a platoon rotation of reconnaissance, base security, and QRF. Assigning elements of a platoon to provide security for the CP and troop base, which may include the mortar section and FIST team. Retaining the sniper teams under company control or attached to a platoon. 5-2 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
SECURITY FORCE ASSISTANCE Stability Operations 5-12. As part of the reconnaissance squadron, the DRT may be involved in security force assistance while conducting stability operations. Security force assistance is the unified action to generate, employ, and sustain local, host nation, or regional security forces in support of a legitimate authority. Some aspects of security force assistance operations include: Joint effort of military and other governmental agencies. Training of military, police, border security, and other paramilitary organizations. Training that includes conventional combat, combating internal threats, or serving as multinational partners or peacekeepers in other areas. 5-13. The DRT may be assigned to three general types of security assistance operations: partnering, augmenting, or advising. PARTNERING 5-14. Partnering attaches U.S. units at various levels with foreign units to leverage the strengths of both U.S. and foreign security forces. A partnering unit shares responsibility for a host nation’s AO and supports its partner host nation’s operations. Partnering activities for the DRT may include combined planning, training, and operations. Partnering troops may have to provide advisor teams as well as support maneuver units. AUGMENTING 5-15. Augmenting is an arrangement in which the host nation provides individuals or elements to combine with U.S. units or U.S. individuals or elements combine with the host nation. Augmenting immerses host nation personnel in a U.S. environment to provide language and cultural awareness to the U.S. unit. Augmentation improves the interdependence and interoperability of U.S. and foreign security forces. Augmentation can occur at many levels and in many different forms. For example, a DRT squad can be augmented with host nation individuals or the troop can be augmented with a host nation platoon. Similarly, augmentation can be of short duration for a specific operation or of a longer duration for an enduring mission. ADVISING 5-16. Advising is the use of influence to teach, coach, and advise while working by, with, and through the host nation. Advising is the primary type of security force assistance and is the most efficient means of helping a host nation to become an effective and legitimate branch of a developing foreign state. Advising requires relationship building and candid discourse to influence development of a professional security force. Advisors conduct partnership shaping functions, shape discussions with their counterparts, and create opportunities for the partner units. 5-17. The DRT may be under the operational control (OPCON) of an advisor team. The troop’s primary mission is to provide security. However, it can also be assigned to accomplish some of the advisor team’s missions, to include conducting individual and collective training of host nation forces. INFORMATION ENGAGEMENT 5-18. Information engagement is the integrated employment of public affairs to inform U.S. and friendly audiences; military information support operations (MISO), combat camera, U.S. government strategic communications and defense support to public diplomacy, and other means necessary to influence foreign audiences; and leader Soldier engagements to support both efforts. (See FM 3-0.) 5-19. In stability operations the DRT Soldiers operate among the people of the host country. The troops are under the view of the media; therefore, IE is inseparable from the successful initiative of the stability mission. <strong>Dismounted</strong> reconnaissance troop leadership and Soldiers, through IE, can seize, retain, and exploit the initiative, drawing on cultural awareness and media engagements to achieve positive results.
