This document provides a crucial guide for integrating small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) into Army operations. It emphasizes airspace control, detailing the structure from theater down to company level, highlighting key entities like the JFACC, AAMDC, and the ADAM/BAE, along with effectively integrating sUAS requirements into the Unit Airspace Plan. The handbook distinguishes between positive and procedural control methods for sUAS, integrating airspace management into the MDMP. It covers sUAS mission planning for both pre-planned and dynamic operations, offering practical tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including loss-of-link procedures, and supplementary information like checklists and request formats.

How Russia Fights in Large-Scale Combat Operations draws on historical precedent, operational lessons from the current war in Ukraine, and recent doctrinal developments to provide a comprehensive assessment of Russia’s military strategy, key operational concepts, and the anticipated employment of its ground forces in a major theater conflict with NATO forces. Russia remains an acute challenge for the United States and the West, with a demonstrated willingness to use force, a robust capacity for rapid mobilization, and a vast nuclear arsenal.
This document builds on foundational material presented in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-92, The Operational Environment 2024-2034: Large-Scale Combat Operations, and Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 7-100.1, Russian Tactics. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-92 identifies the key Operational Environment (OE) conditions that will define large-scale combat operations (LSCO) for the foreseeable future, while ATP 7-100.1 provides insights into Russian Ground Forces tactics. Together, these resources offer a comprehensive foundation for understanding Russia’s approach to conflict and its implications for U.S. Army training and education.
