This manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-07.31 Peace Ops Multi-service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Peace Operations May 2019, establishes tactics, techniques, and procedures for planning and conducting peace operations (PO) at the tactical and operational levels. It also provides resources and references for training personnel and units assigned to a PO mission. PO include crisis response and limited contingency operations. Frequently, PO involve international military missions to contain conflict, restore peace, and shape the strategic environment to support reconciliation and rebuilding, and facilitate the transition to legitimate governance. PO are conducted under the sponsorship of the United Nations (UN), other international organizations, or within a coalition of agreeing nations, but may be conducted unilaterally. PO include conflict prevention, peacemaking processes, peace enforcement operations, peacekeeping operations, and peace building. PO are conducted with various diplomatic activities necessary to secure a negotiated truce and resolve a conflict.
In 2015, Congress tasked the Department of Defense to commission an independent assessment of U.S. military strategy and force posture in the Asia-Pacific, as well as that of U.S. allies and partners, over the next decade. This CSIS study fulfills that congressional requirement. The authors assess U.S. progress to date and recommend initiatives necessary to protect U.S. interests in the Pacific Command area of responsibility through 2025. Four lines of effort are highlighted: (1) Washington needs to continue aligning Asia strategy within the U.S. government and with allies and partners; (2) U.S. leaders should accelerate efforts to strengthen ally and partner capability, capacity, resilience, and interoperability; (3) the United States should sustain and expand U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region; and (4) the United States should accelerate development of innovative capabilities and concepts for U.S. forces.
Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.
Peace operations (PO) are crisis response and limited contingency operations, including international efforts and military missions containing conflict, redressing the peace, and shaping the environment supporting reconciliation, rebuilding, and facilitating the transition to effective governance. PO includes peacekeeping operations, peace building, post conflict actions, peacemaking processes, conflict prevention, and military peace enforcement operations. Chapter I describes 5 PO categories and 15 joint fundamentals of PO. The chapter discusses transition planning for PO missions, and other PO categories for relieving forces, and civilian agencies. Chapter II sets the conditions for successful nonmilitary peace building activities. It provides design and planning factors commanders and staffs must consider when undertaking PO. It highlights factors that account for capability differences between United States (US) forces, multinational forces, and civilian agencies. Chapter III describes tactical-level tasks for PO forces. This includes six types of patrols, mobile or fixed observation techniques, and movement control with roadblocks and checkpoints. It provides techniques for vehicle, personnel, and urban searches. In addition, the chapter presents techniques for controlling civil disturbances and handling refugees or displaced persons. Chapter IV focuses on methods for controlling large areas and separating opposing forces, including but not limited to, interposition, establishing areas of separation, buffer zones, border control, and demilitarized zones. Chapter V provides checklists and basic considerations for force protection. This includes threat assessment, force protection condition procedures, and potential terrorist tactics. The chapter focuses on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for intelligence usage, preventive or reactive medicine, and military information support operations (MISO). Chapter VI lists the principles of civil-military operations and the aspects of governance associated with PO. It provides TTP integrating civilian and military activities for foreign humanitarian assistance, civil affairs operations, and election support. Chapter VII discusses the importance of information operations (IO), and informing and influencing relevant audiences to ensure successful PO. IO is the integrated employment, during military operations, of information-related capabilities in concert with other lines of operation to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision making of adversaries. Chapter VIII provides techniques and considerations for conflict resolution focusing on negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Appendix A provides the purpose for conducting meetings and interpersonal engagements and provides TTP for effective planning and execution. Appendix B provides an overview of the role and responsibilities of liaison officers and approaches they use that contribute to effective coordination and collaboration among various agencies involved in PO. Appendix C discusses the vital role interpreter's play in facilitating interactions and negotiations between the local or indigenous population and US forces. Appendix D Civil Component Analysis and Templating, describes the process commanders and their staffs use to analyze the civil component of an area of operations and determine how it can help, hinder, or affect PO. Appendix E gives a brief description of various intergovernmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations that work with PO forces. Appendix F discusses joint commissions and how they facilitate more effective PO. Appendix G provides TTP on ways PO forces can protect civilians and effectively respond to mass atrocity situations. Appendix H highlights important PO documents. Appendix I provides training considerations and opportunities for the preparation of PO.

The evidence in this book may not ultimately give you the “smoking gun” you are looking for on your journey, but I guarantee it will give you a box of bullets when you find it. In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the U.S. Government at the age of fifteen. He targeted such agencies as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top secret aircraft. He took the millions of pages, and over the course of more than two decades, has built an archive known around the world, as The Black Vault. Inside The Black Vault: The Government’s UFO Secrets Revealed takes you on a journey within the secret world of unidentified aerial phenomenon that has plagued the military since at least the 1940s. Declassified records prove that the UFO topic is one of the most highly classified and most elusive subjects the U.S. Government has ever dealt with. Each chapter explores various agencies and their documents, and Greenewald breaks down the meaning of why some of the most important documents are relevant to proving a massive cover-up. Along with declassified documents, Greenewald outlines the struggle it took him to get them. No other topic has proven so difficult, in more than 8,000 FOIA requests that he has filed. He explores why that might be and meets skeptics and debunkers head on, outlining why some of their more prominent rebuttals for it all cannot be true.
The Sandia Pulsed Reactor Facility (SPRF) is a laboratory facility specifically designed for radiation effects experiments which require an intense pulse of fast neutrons and gamma rays.
This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective.
