economic alternatives to production, exportation, and distribution of drugs.
Support to interdiction efforts center on monitoring and detecting illegal
drugs in transit as well as integrating command, control, communications,
and intelligence systems. US forces may well assist host nation forces at war
while they are in stability and support operations postures.
8-30. Support for domestic counterdrug operations includes military planning
and training assistance for domestic law enforcement agencies, participation
by the National Guard, equipment loans and transfers, use of military
facilities, and other assistance as requested and authorized. This support
may expand as national policy and legal prohibitions evolve.
8-31. ADA sensor surveillance will be the primary role for ADA units. ADA
sensors are ideally suited to provide surveillance support to this type of
operation. Although new sensors are being fielded to SHORAD battalions,
this type of tasking typically is given to HIMAD units. This support will
normally be provided to US Customs and Border Patrol organizations along
the US border.
COMBATING TERRORISM
8-32. The Department of State is the lead US agency in combating terrorism
overseas or on the high seas. The Department of Justice (the Federal Bureau
of Investigation) has this responsibility within the US. The Department of
Transportation (Federal Aviation Administration) combats terrorism related
to aircraft in flight within the territories of the US. The Department of
Defense supports each of these agencies in these operations.
8-33. Combating terrorism has two major sub-components: antiterrorism and
counter-terrorism. During peacetime, the Army combats terrorism primarily
through antiterrorism--passive defensive measures taken to minimize
vulnerability to terrorism. Antiterrorism is a form of force protection and,
thus, the responsibility of Army commanders at all levels. Antiterrorism
complements counter-terrorism, which is the full range of offensive measures
taken to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorism. Army elements, such as
special operations forces, assist in this interagency effort by applying
specialized capabilities to preclude, preempt, and resolve terrorist incidents
abroad. Counter-terrorism occurs in conflict and war; antiterrorism occurs
across the continuum.
8-34. ADA units may face a terrorist threat during stability and support
operations and must be prepared to implement antiterrorism measures. In
addition, if terrorists or other hostile regional powers possess the means to
conduct terrorist activities using aircraft or missiles, ADA units may be
deployed to protect US or host nation forces and facilities.
PEACE OPERATIONS
8-35. Peace operations encompass three types of activities: support to
diplomacy, peacekeeping operations, and peace enforcement. The
environment of peace operations and related concepts, principles, and
fundamentals are described in FM 100-23.
