The relationship between conventional and irregular warfare (IW) is often seen as a paradox, meaning that conventional warfare and IW appears contradictory at first but makes sense upon further reflection. Irregular warfare is often attributed to those activities conducted by Special Operations Forces (SOF), but this is not true. This handbook explores definitions, then seeks to describe what IW means to our primary strategic competitors. Finally, this handbook offers perspectives across the joint force on how IW is interpreted within the sister Services and academia.  less

This guide addresses the critical need to enhance military training by incorporating realistic electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) and intelligence (I&EW) scenarios. It provides practical guidance for Army units at all levels to plan, coordinate, and execute MDO training at home station, focusing on leveraging existing resources and simulating contested environments. The guide offers two primary functions. First, it serves as a "How To" manual for company-grade leaders, outlining resources, procedures, and best practices for integrating I&EW training into existing range operations. It details the roles of various support organizations, spectrum and airspace request procedures, and specific use cases for training scenarios such as SIGINT collection, EW team operations, and targeting. Second, the guide provides field-grade leaders with recommendations for planning and executing larger-scale MDO training, particularly leveraging virtual and constructive simulations. By utilizing this guide, units can enhance their understanding of EMSO, improve their ability to operate in contested environments, and better prepare for the complexities of future conflicts. It emphasizes practical exercises using readily available resources, enabling units to achieve a higher level of MDO proficiency and overall combat readiness.  less

First Army, Division East Observers, Coaches, Trainers (OC/Ts), and Advisors observed an Engineer Brigade during a WFX. They analyzed the brigade's performance through pre-execution, arrival/reception, staging, onward movement and integration (RSOI), operations, and end of exercise (ENDEX)/final after-action review (FAAR).  Our unique position—working with COMPO 2 (National Guard) and COMPO 3 (Reserve) units while maintaining a COMPO 1 (Active Duty) perspective—revealed friction points arising from a misunderstanding of Reserve Component complexities, sensitivities, and communication breakdowns.  less

While the U.S. Army has divested itself from counterinsurgency doctrine, favoring instead large-scale combat operations in multi-domains, the characteristics of advising in armed conflict has not changed. As combat advising teams pair with partner forces during the offense, other advisor teams may remain behind to train and equip local security forces as a way towards consolidating gains in a division rear area. This document explores combat advising and consolidating gains through a clear, hold, build framework, and provides examples from Ukraine.  less
