United States Army Functional Concept for Intelligence: 2016-2028
This document "describes what the Army must do to develop forces capable of conducting intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination in support of commanders and facilitate understanding of the operational environment, the enemy, terrain, and civil considerations in support of military operations. This concept builds on TRADOC [Training and Doctrine Command] Pam 525-3-0, the ACC [Army Capstone Concept], and TRADOC Pam 525-3-1, the AOC [Army Operations Concept], and outlines the capabilities required to meet the demands of the operational environment as described in the 'TRADOC Operational Environment 2009-2025.' In this way, TRADOC Pam 525-2-1 serves as a foundation for future force development pertaining to intelligence and the intelligence warfighting function. In addition to the warfighting challenges of the future, the Army also faces a number of institutional challenges. The rapid pace of technological change, prolonged acquisition timelines, and growing resource constraints make it necessary for the Army to adopt a more responsive approach to capabilities development. Accordingly, TRADOC is shifting from a 5-year to a 2-year cycle for concept development and revision. As a result, the Army Capabilities Integration Center will update and revise the entire Army Concept Framework every 2 years. This significant change will enable more effective input into the major budget and programming decisions across our Army.

United States Army Operating Concept: 2016-2028
This document "describes how future Army forces conduct operations as part of the joint force to deter conflict, prevail in war, and succeed in a wide range of contingencies in the future operational environment. It describes the employment of Army forces in the 2016-2028 timeframe with emphasis on the operational and tactical levels of war. In addition to describing broadly how Army headquarters organize and direct the employment of their forces, the concept describes the major categories of Army operations and identifies the capabilities required of Army forces to guide and prioritize future force development. The ideas discussed in this document will guide revisions in Army doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities. These ideas will also enhance the integration of Army forces with a wide array of domestic and international partners. The challenges of future armed conflict make it imperative for the Army to produce leaders and forces that exhibit a high degree of operational adaptability."

Army Capstone Concept: Operational Adaptability: Operating under Conditions of Uncertainty and Complexity in an Era of Persistent Conflict: 2016-2028
This document describes "the broad capabilities the Army will require in 2016-2028. It provides a guide to how the Army will apply available resources to overcome adaptive enemies and accomplish challenging missions. TRADOC Pam 525-3-0 articulates how to think about future armed conflict within an uncertain and complex environment. It provides a foundation for a campaign of learning and analysis that will evaluate and refine the concept's major ideas and required capabilities. Ultimately, prioritized capabilities that emerge from this concept and subordinate, more detailed concepts will guide changes in doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leader development and programs related to the human dimension for our Army. The aim of Army operations is to set conditions that achieve or facilitate the achievement of policy goals and objectives. Future enemies will constantly adapt and seek ways to overcome Army strengths and capitalize on what they perceive as our vulnerabilities. We operate where our enemies, indigenous populations, culture, politics, and religion intersect and where the fog and friction of war persists. The U.S. Army must maintain its core competency of conducting effective combined arms operations in close combat to employ defeat and stability mechanisms against a variety of threats. The U.S. Army must also hone its ability to integrate joint and interagency assets, develop the situation through action, and adjust rapidly to changing situations to achieve what this concept defines as operational adaptability."

Test Operations Procedure (TOP) 07-2-033: Weaponized Manned/Unmanned Aircraft
"This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) covers the span of requirements and technologies that are unique to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The role of a UAS is significantly different than that of a manned aircraft. The nominal operating altitudes and methods of employment for armed UASs provide for unique test challenges not encountered with manned aircraft. Many armed UASs are flown at significantly higher altitudes than manned aircraft creating unique test conditions. The increase in slant range and angular perspective from sensor and weapons to target needs to be considered for these new systems. Additionally the threat set for UASs in the Global War on Terrorism is very different than the traditional large mechanized threat set typically used for manned aircraft. A TOP for weaponized UAS testing will provide standard procedures for all systems tested."

Report to the Surgeon General: Traumatic Brain Injury Task Force
"The Task Force (TF) reviewed the continuum of care while focusing on best practices and gaps in the care of military Service members with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBT). After analysis of the best practices and gaps, the recommendations of the TF were divided into 13 areas. Some near-term recommendations are available for immediate implementation while others will require additional staff work prior to implementation. There are also recommendations that require assignment to other agencies within DA and others that require a higher level of authority (such as, Health Affairs (HA), Office of the Secretary of Defense, and DVA) to implement. A very brief summary of the best practices and gaps precedes the recommendations below. Appendix A contains a list of references and forms cited within this report as well as a related bibliography."

Integrated Eye Tracking and Neural Monitoring for Enhanced Assessment of Mild TBI
From the Introduction: "The objective of this project is to validate a combined EEG [electroencephalogram] and eye tracking system aimed at assessing compromised cognitive function stemming from mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI). Research suggests that the neural injuries resulting from mild TBI do not always produce observable performance deficits. However, subjective ratings suggest that the level of effort required to perform at a given level can be higher with mild TBI; associated neuroimaging data reveal a broader recruitment of cortical neurons to accomplish tasks in mild TBI relative to uninjured individuals [1 -3]. The research described here combines information from two distinct physiological sensing approaches to make inferences about injury-related changes in cognitive function using measures that are sensitive to cognitive effort. The goal is to combine the expertise of academic, military, and industry researchers to create a practical and effective neurodiagnostic assessment tool that can be used in a broad range of contexts in which cognitive assessment is relevant. Validation of the integrated EEG and eye tracking system will include evaluation of the specificity and sensitivity of these measures based on characterizations of injury severity, performance on a neurocognitive test battery, and self-report measures of cognitive efficacy. We will also include functional magnetic resonance imagining (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to characterize the extent of functional cortical recruitment and white matter injury, respectively. The inclusion of fMRI and DTI will provide an objective basis for cross-validating the EEG and eye tracking system. Both the EEG and eye tracking data will be collected in the context of a dual- task experimental paradigm with visual target detection."

Army Medical Robotics Research
"Buddy treatment, first responder combat casualty care, and patient evacuation under hostile fire have compounded combat losses throughout history. Force protection of military first responders is complicated by current troop deployments for peacekeeping operations, counter terrorism, and humanitarian assistance missions that involve highly visible, politically sensitive low intensity combat in urban terrain. Research progress has been made in the areas of robotics; artificial intelligence; sensors; computer vision; mechanical, electrical and biological engineering; noninvasive diagnostics; and wireless digital communications. Academic institutions have demonstrated intelligent robots that execute functions ranging from performing mechanical repairs to playing soccer. The military has significantly invested in autonomous vehicles, and other robots to support its Objective Force. By leveraging several Department of Defense funding sources the Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center has established a growing portfolio of projects aimed at adapting, integrating, or developing new robotic technologies to locate, identify, assess, treat, and rescue battlefield casualties under hostile conditions."

Biological Defense Research Program: Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
"The proposed action, and subject of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), is continuation of the Biological Defense Research Program (BDRP). The BDRP is a research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) program conducted by the Department of Defense (DoD), with the Department of the Army (DA) serving as the executive agent. This FEIS addresses the ongoing program and provides a basis for evaluating future BDRP activities. The objectives of the BDRP are to develop measures for detection, treatment, protection and decontamination of potential biological warfare threat agents. Development of medical defensive measures, such as prophylactic vaccines and drugs, therapeutic measures, and patient treatment and management protocols are important components of the program. The purpose of the BDRP is to maintain and promote a solid national defense posture with respect to potential biological warfare threats. The BDRP supports RDT&E efforts necessary for the maintenance and development of defensive measures and materiel to meet these threats. In addition to promoting the national defense posture, the BDRP benefits the scientific community in general through its research and development efforts, and benefits the global population in the development of diagnostic methods, and vaccine and drug therapies for the treatment of diseases."

Judgement Day: Prosecuting Jihadist Terrorism as a Criminal Enterprise Under the Military Commissions Act
From the thesis abstract: "What if the Coalition captures Osama bin Laden? What if the United States charges him with the capital crime of terrorism under the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA)? What if the United States prosecutes bin Laden for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as the head of Al-Qaeda's criminal enterprise? This dissertation argues that the United States should prosecute Osama bin Laden for the terrorist attacks of 9/11, as if he had crashed the four hijacked planes himself. As head of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden can and should be held legally responsible for the capital crime of terrorism, under the legal theory that Al-Qaeda is a criminal enterprise. For decades, American criminal enterprise prosecutions have targeted organized crime, while international tribunals have prosecuted mass atrocities of size and structure similar to 9/11. Part II delves into the MCA's unique jurisdictional and substantive requirements to prosecute a terrorism charge. Al-Qaeda's 9/11 attacks seem to fit this definition in form and substance. Part II closes by exploring jihadist symbolism as an aggravating factor inherent to the merits and sentencing of a terrorism case like 9/11. Next, Part III compares and contrasts the American criminal enterprise model, an association-in-fact, with the international criminal enterprise model, a mass atrocity. Part III reconciles these enterprise models in a MCA context and applies them to 9/11. Part III closes by proposing that the Secretary of Defense adopt a hybrid approach to the use of criminal enterprise in the Manual for Military Commissions (MMC), which would unify the current American association-in-fact model and the international mass atrocity model, to fit the dual nature of terrorism as a domestic and international offense. Part IV considers potential defense objections to criminal enterprise liability for the MCA crime of terrorism."

Lessons from Contemporary Insurgency: The PKK's Enduring Fight
"The U.S. Military is currently engaged in fighting two very unique counterinsurgency campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although arguably without peer conducting conventional military operations, the U.S. Military still has much to learn about counterinsurgency warfare. This case study examines the PKK's [Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan] evolution from a terror group to an insurgent organization focusing on lessons applicable to current U.S. Military operations. Part I examines the origins and background of the PKK, Part II addresses the current state of the PKK, and Part III analyzes the potential way ahead for the PKK."

Survival of Viral Biowarfare Agents in Disinfected Waters
"Protecting civilian and military water supplies has received more attention since the United States began its war on terror in 2001. Both chlorine and bromine are used by branches of the U.S. military for disinfecting water supplies; however, limited data exists as to the effectiveness of these additives when used against viral biowarfare agents. The present study sought to evaluate the survival of selected viral biothreat agents in disinfected water. Disinfected water samples were spiked with vaccinia virus strain WR [Western Reserve] and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus strain TC-83 each separately to a final concentration of approximately 1�-10^6 PFU/mL [Plaque Forming Units per Milliliter], and survival was assessed by plaque assay. Both viruses were inactivated by 1 mg/L [Milligrams per Liter] free available chlorine (FAC) and 2mg/L total bromine within one hour. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that both chlorine and bromine are effective disinfectants against vaccinia virus and VEE strain TC-83 at the concentrations tested."

US Army TRADOC TRADOC G2 Handbook No. 1.04: Terrorism and WMD in the Contemporary Operational Environment
"Terrorism and WMD in the Contemporary Operational Environment is a supplemental handbook to the U.S. Army TRADOC G2 Handbook No. 1, A Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century. The capstone reference guide describes terrorism1 and its potential impacts on U.S. military forces in the conduct of mission operations. This supplemental handbook highlights the nature of terrorism present in a full spectrum contemporary operational environment (COE)2 and terrorist intentions to use weapons of mass destruction. Terrorist intent to obtain and use weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is one of the most serious contemporary threats to our Nation. The means of attack can span from a highly sophisticated weapon system such as a nuclear bomb to a rudimentary improvised radiological device. The specter of chemical contamination or biological infection adds to the array of weapons. Although high explosives have not been traditionally recognized as a WMD, high yield and some low yield explosives have caused significant devastating effects on people and places. The threat of WMD terrorism to the United States is present across the entire spectrum of conflict. Potential exists for WMD terrorism with individual acts of wanton damage or destruction of property or person, as well as operations conducted by organized violent groups or rogue states with social, environmental, religious, economic, or political agendas. As the United States confronts terrorism, both foreign and domestic, the most significant U.S. concerns are terrorist organizations with demonstrated global reach capabilities and their intention to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction. Yet, recent events have demonstrated that devastating weapon effects can be caused by one or two people with the will and a simple way to terrorize."

Consequence Management: Operational Principles for Managing the Consequence of a Catastrophic Incident Involving Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or High Yield Explosives [Version 1.0]
"The mission of the CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosive threats) Consequence Management Response Force is "[t]o assist with a catastrophic mass casualty incident in the United States and its territories - at the direction of the President - the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the appropriate Combatant Commander may deploy the CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force (CCMRF). The CCMRF is trained and equipped to provide a rapid response capability following a catastrophic event. Just as with all instances of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), military forces respond only when requested. Requests always work their way up from the local level. After a major incident, city leaders will ask for county assistance; county asks for State assistance; the State Governor asks for Federal assistance from the President. If the President agrees, a Presidental [sic] Declaration of Disaster is declared. The Secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, and other cabinet members meet and determine the best course of action. The SecDef [Secretary of Defense] may initiate activation of CCMRF units. State National Guard units are usually mobilized under the direction of the Governor and remain State assets, while CCMRF units are usually Title 10 under the direction of NORTHCOM, ARNORTH, and the Joint Task Force (JTF) Commander - or the Defense Coordinating Officer (DCO) if a JTF is not stood up. The CCMRF includes assets such as medical surge, chemical decontamination and biological detection that may be helpful to the victims of a catastrophic event. The CCMRF also includes communications, force protection, transportation, supply and maintenance assets that can be used to establish command and control capabilities to facilitate additional military and civilian resources into the affected area."

US Army TRADOC G2 Handbook No. 1: A Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century
"This informational handbook supports institutional training, professional military education, and operational missions for U.S. military forces in the War on Terrorism (WOT). This document provides an introduction to the nature of terrorism and recognition of terrorist threats to U.S. military forces. A common situational awareness by U.S. military forces considers three principal venues for armed forces: forces that are deployed, forces that are in transit to or from an operational mission, and forces that are primarily installation or institution support. Compiled from open source materials, this handbook promotes a 'Threats' perspective and enemy situational awareness of U.S. strategies and operations in combating terrorism. Neither a counterterrorism directive nor antiterrorism manual, this handbook complements but does not replace Army training and intelligence products on terrorism."

East Turkistan Independence Movement (ETIM) Goes for Insurgent Gold at Olympics: A Study of China's Information Warfare
"A few days have past [sic] since the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics was executed without incident. There is a noticeable feeling of relief from top officials, as terrorism concerns have mostly subsided. The spotlight of the world is on China and it is highlighting all that seems good and decent about the new modern and open China. Reporters, fat on free accommodations and giddy from grandiose treatment, write complimentary stories about how economic prosperity is reducing historical religious, regional and ethnic grievances. Then three simultaneous car bombs are detonated at different checkpoints on the perimeter of Beijing, killing a total of 3 soldiers and slightly injuring 5 civilians. The Chinese immediately place the blame on the Muslim Uyghurs (or Uighurs)of Xinjiang Province, specifically the East Turkistan Independence Movement (ETIM). The Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) beings to roll and the far west Chinese province is placed under siege. Almost as fast, the thousands of International Press mobilize and prepare to exit Beijing and head west to cover the Chinese crackdown. They calculate that this will be the story most will tune in to watch. But, as they drive to the first checkpoint out of town, they are stopped, told to turn back. There will be no press coverage. The official reason is that it is not safe. The People's Republic of China (PRC) promises to assist the press by reporting the story for them."
