Military Immunization Communication Handbook
"DoD's immunization program is an integral part of DoD's force protection program. One of the biggest challenges for the military immunization program involves maintaining a comprehensive communication effort to provide information to military personnel and their families. Further, this communication program must provide clear information about the specific threats, available vaccines, vaccine safety, medical protocols for administering vaccines, and the policies for managing and administering the program. Other challenges include the disagreements over biowarfare intelligence, reports of rare but serious reactions after immunizations, and the continuing legal challenges against the immunization programs. This handbook was commissioned by the Military Vaccine (MILVAX) Agency, a component of the Army Surgeon General's Office that supports all five Armed Services in optimizing the use of military immunizations to keep troops healthy. Its purpose is to help military leaders at all levels communicate effectively about what vaccines can and cannot do."

Army Field Manual 3-34.119: Improvised Explosive Device Defeat (September 2005)
"Attacks from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are one of the major causes of Soldiers and Marines being killed in action (KIA) and wounded in action (WIA). The construct of IED defeat operations supports the National Security Strategy to defeat terrorism and prevent attacks against the United States (U.S.) and coalition forces. It also supports Joint Vision 2020 and the Army Campaign Plan. A key component is the implementation of an integrated IED strategy to counter IED threats and support the Global War on Terrorism. Attaining this goal requires the steady infusion of integrated doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions to counter IED threats to meet the Army's requirements. The IED threat and the protection of our Soldiers and Marines are an extremely important mission. Until recently, there was no single proponent designated to coordinate DOTMLPF solutions for these types of explosive hazards impacting our freedom of maneuver. In August 2004, the Department of the Army (DA) assigned the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) as the Army specified proponent for IED defeat. TRADOC then assigned the Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) to conduct a mission analysis and determine resource requirements for implementing an integrated DOTMLPF strategy to counter IED threats. MANSCEN was further tasked to establish an IED Defeat Integrated Capabilities Development Team (ICDT) to develop an integrated DOTMLPF strategy to counter IED threats."

Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century--Appendix E: Improvised Explosive Devices
"While terrorists will use conventional weapons, such as rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles to achieve their goals, they also have the ability to assemble and employ a wide variety of lethal improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Explosives are a popular weapon with terrorists and are covered in the al Qaeda training manual. The manual states, 'Explosives are believed to be the safest weapon for the Mujahideen. Using explosives allows them to get away from enemy personnel and to avoid being arrested.' It goes on to say that, 'In addition, explosives strike the enemy with sheer terror and fright.'"

Military Working Dogs
"Today's MWD [military working dog] team is a highly deployable capability that commanders have used around the world from Afghanistan to Africa and from the Balkans to Iraq. These specialized teams aid commanders in stability and support operations as well as in warfighting. Being modular and mobile makes these teams very agile. As situations dictate, MWD teams are quick to arrive and able to conduct various operations. Their versatility allows for effective transformation at all echelons among readiness for deployment and operations on the ground, through redeployment and back to readiness...This FM addresses the current capabilities of the Military Police Working Dog Program as well as the potential for future applications. As technology and world situations change, the MWD team will continue the transformation process and give commanders the full-spectrum capabilities needed to be combat multipliers on the battlefield as well as persuasive force protection and antiterrorism assets."

Army: Our Army at War Relevant and Ready Today and Tomorrow: Field Manual [Updated June 1, 2005]
This 2005 edition of the Army Field Manual was released in June 2005. "The previous FM-1 had been released in June 2001, just four months before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. 'Sept. 11, 2001 changed forever the world in which we live,' said Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, Army chief of staff.' The change in the strategic environment has forced us to review how we do business " to better counter those evolving threats.' The new FM-1 reflects the 'depth and urgency' of the Armys involvement in the War on Terrorism, according to Schoomaker. 'FM-1 emphasizes transformation, the warrior ethos, a culture of innovation, and joint interdependence, rather than just joint interoperability,' Schoomaker said. 'In short, it contains a true operational concept about how the Army will operate across a spectrum of conflict both at home and abroad.' FM-1 establishes the fundamental principles of employing landpower and the Armys operational concept, including Army forces in unified action. The field manual begins with a history of the Army, explains how it is changing and where it is headed."

Civil Affairs Arts, Monuments, and Archives Guide
"The cultural heritage of a country is its soul, its memory, and its meaning. In the past, plunder has often followed warfare and natural disaster. Archaeological finds are like words of a poem: their meaning and value depend on their physical arrangement and context. When they are removed from their context, they might be pretty, but their original meaning is lost. The loss of information is permanent. Damage to historic monuments, religious buildings, and sacred places such as shrines or cemeteries can occur accidentally when they are in the midst of warfare or disaster. This aid is intended to guide soldiers' decisions and action until heritage professional can be summoned to the scene. Any soldier concerned with or placed in a situation where he/she is responsible for the protection, safeguarding, preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation of and restitution to their rightful owners of damaged or endangered cultural property within areas under military control should use this aid."

AR 15-6 Investigation of the Abu Ghraib Prison and 205th Military Intelligence Brigade
"This investigation was ordered initially by LTG Ricardo S. Sanchez, Commander, Combined Joint Task Force Seven (CJTF-7). LTG Sanchez appointed MG George R. Fay as investigating officer under the provisions of Army Regulation 381-10, Procedure 15. MG Fay was appointed to investigate allegations that members of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade (205 MI BDE) were involved in detainee abuse at the Abu Ghraib Detention Facility. Specifically, MG Fay was to determine whether 205 MI BDE personnel requested, encouraged, condoned, or solicited Military Police (MP) personnel to abuse detainees and whether MI personnel comported with established interrogation procedures and applicable laws and regulations. Leaders and Soldiers throughout Operation Iraqi Freedom have been confronted with a complex and dangerous operational environment. Although a clear breakdown in discipline and leadership, the events at Abu Ghraib should not blind us from the noble conduct of the vast majority of our Soldiers. We are a values based profession in which the clear majority of our Soldiers and leaders take great pride. A clear vote of confidence should be extended by the senior leadership to the leaders and Soldiers who continue to perform extraordinarily in supporting our Nation's wartime mission. Many of our Soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the freedoms and liberties that America and our Army represent throughout the world."

New Modernization Plan Says Army Will Not Risk Unready Troops
"The Army has compiled for Pentagon leaders a high-level strategy document that spells out how the service will modernize its forces and still fight today?s wars. According to sources and documents, the service has spent some $5 billion to "buy back" operational risk assumed in recent years because resources were so heavily focused on investing in future programs. And, over the next few years, the Army will continue to shift its thinking on where and how it assumes risk -- extracting risk from its current force and trying to balance the scale that once tipped heavily in favor of future troops."

Anniston Community CSEPP Exercise 2003 [Anniston, AL; March 18, 2003]
From the Introduction: "The Anniston Community CSEPP [Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program Exercise] 2003 (ACE 03) provided the opportunity to demonstrate the emergency response capabilities of the Anniston Community and to validate correction of findings identified during the Anniston Community CSEPP Exercise 2001 (ACE 01) and the Anniston Community CSEPP Exercise 2002 (ACE 02). The Off-Post community did not participate in ACE 02." The exercise was predicated on the following hypothetical scenario: "A surveillance crew had been conducting a routine chemical operation in the Chemical Limited Area (CLA) during normal working hours on March 18, 2003. Agent monitoring was performed during igloo closing actions with no indication of agent vapor. Weather was simulated for hazard analysis purposes. Sometime prior to 1800 hours a one ton container began leaking in a nearby igloo. Liquid GB [type of nerve agent] agent gushed across the floor and under the door to the outside. Once outside, the agent formed a large puddle on the igloo apron. [...] A Chemical Stockpile Defense Force (CSDF) unit patrolling the CLA outside fence downwind spotted several deer in the roadway just ahead of their patrol vehicle. They reported that the deer were lying motionless and others were staggering around. Both patrol members quickly began to exhibit mild to moderate symptoms of nerve agent-like exposure. Both soldiers donned their protective masks and began self-aid measures, but became disoriented and were not able to use their communications equipment or drive their vehicle."

Serving a Nation at War: A Campain Quality Army with Joint and Expeditionary Capabilities
"The single most significant component of our new strategic reality is that because of the centrality of the ideas in conflict, this war will be a protracted one. Whereas for most of our lives the default condition has been peace, now our default expectation must be conflict. This new strategic context is the logic for reshaping the Army to be an Army of campaign quality with joint and expeditionary capabilities. The lessons learned in two-and-a-half years of war [in Afghanistan and Iraq] have already propelled a wide series of changes in the Army and across the Joint team. This learning process must not stop. Although this paper outlines the strategic context for the series of changes underway in our Army, its purpose is not to convince you or even to inform you. Its purpose is to cause you to reflect on and think about this new strategic context and what it portends for our future and for the Nation."

Anniston Community CSEPP Exercise 2002 [Anniston, AL; March 6, 2002]
This exercise was predicated on the following hypothetical scenario: "While conducting a required interior inspection of Igloo G-602 on 4 March 2002, a surveillance crew discovered that a large crack had formed in the rear ceiling of the Igloo allowing excessive amounts of rain water to leak on several pallets of GB-filled, M55 rockets at the rear and onto the Igloo floor. On 5 March 2002, depot engineers and DPW [Department of Public Works] personnel determined that repairs would have to be performed to the inside ceiling as well as to the roof. In order to accomplish the repairs at least two pallets of rockets will have to be moved outside the Igloo during the period repairs were being made the next day. Also on 5 March 2002, a reporter for a national news agency requested and was given approval to visit and gather information to write an article relating to the destruction of all chemical agent weapons stored within the chemical storage site at the Anniston Army Depot. In order to provide a complete picture of the overall operational concept the reporter requested and was granted approval to conduct a low level fly over of the storage area and demil facility on 6 March 2002, utilizing a helicopter owned and operated by the news agency that the reporter worked for."
