This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-90.61 Brigade Special Troops Battalion August 2015, describes how the BSTB provides combat support to the BCT. The battalion contains military intelligence; communications; and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) platoons and provides mission command for the units assigned and attached to the BCT. The BSTB is organic to the armored brigade combat team (ABCT) and the infantry brigade combat team (IBCT) that have not converted to brigade engineer battalions. ATP 3-90.61 provides doctrinal guidance for commanders and staffs who are responsible for planning and executing brigade special troops battalion (BSTB) missions in brigade combat teams (BCTs). It is designed to serve as a reference for the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures; materiel and force structures; institution and unit training; and standard operating procedures (SOPs). The principal audience for ATP 3-90.61 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication.

Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-24.3 Cultural and Situational Understanding establishes the techniques and procedures used by individuals, teams, and units of the United States Army at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. This ATP is applicable to all members of the Army profession and security assistance contractors. The techniques and procedures prescribed in this publication are used when engaging other government agencies, indigenous populations and institutions, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and other military and nonmilitary entities to support conventional and special operations missions. This publication elaborates on doctrine contained in FM 3-24, Insurgency and Countering Insurgencies. The principal audience for ATP 3-24.3 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. Understanding culture is essential in conducting irregular warfare. Irregular warfare requires a deliberate application of an understanding of culture due to the need to understand a populated operational environment, what specifically is causing instability, the nature of the threat, and the ability to work with host-nation governments and security forces. Often, training and operations rely on cultural training and education to build cultural expertise, but this may not provide the cognitive link to situational understanding. This ATP does not simply focus on culture, which often generalizes aspects of a society, does not account for diversity, and rarely represents a specific working identity (as in useful and relevant identity, which is distilled or created for a purpose) for an entire region, nation, or even an area. Alternatively, this publication builds on doctrinal publications, including ADRP 5-0 and FM 3-24, which detail terms and references regarding culture and help link these foundations to situational understanding. Situational understanding facilitates Soldiers' and leaders' abilities to make informed decisions regarding their area of operations because of their recognizing "what looks right" and "what looks wrong." This ATP covers the basics of one aspect of enhancing situational understanding through cultural understanding, and links these basics to methodologies and training tools to more rapidly gain cultural understanding through a deliberate process, rather than simply gaining awareness through learned patterns by immersion in a community or area of operations. Leaders at every level need to emphasize cultural training and understanding. Developing expertise in cultural and geopolitical knowledge, understanding, and application are requirements for all Army professionals and leaders and one of the four fields of knowledge of professional military expertise. (See ADP 1.) A deliberate, synchronized and coherent plan to develop cultural expertise is vital. If leaders set the standard, their Soldiers will follow. Leaders are expected to be culturally and situational aware. They will conduct and participate in meetings, negotiations, and other exchanges with host-nation citizens in which cultural and situational understanding are essential to influence target audiences. Obtaining keen situational awareness will also help leaders recognize and understand the prerequisites of insurgency in their area of operations, enemy patterns, how insurgents use prerequisites of insurgency to get close to the local population, and ways counterinsurgents can separate insurgents from the local population.

This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 6-02.75 Techniques for Communications Security (COMSEC) Operations August 2015, provides guidance on the management, employment, handling, and storage of communications security materials. It outlines roles and responsibilities for all members of the Army Profession providing communications security planning, management, and accounting services in support of movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, mission command, protection, and the Army's portion of Department of Defense information networks (DODIN) capabilities. This publication addresses methods of key transport, provides the fundamental principles for communications security operations to support all echelons, and provides details of Key Management Infrastructure (KMI). The principal audience for ATP 6-02.75 is commanders, signal staff officers at all levels, communications security account managers, and members of the Army Profession. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Effective tactical communications requires the management of keys, devices and other COMSEC material management at the lowest echelon possible, while maintaining the highest level of physical security for the equipment and material. Managers and operators must be capable of handling contingencies such as emergency key supersession, equipment failures, and removing or eliminating the key with minimal equipment outages. The need for security cannot override the basic requirement to communicate; the Army must balance these requirements. ATP 6-02.75 consists of eight chapters- Chapter 1 defines COMSEC, addresses equipment maintenance and the destruction of COMSEC material. This chapter also addresses the roles and responsibilities for civilian and military personnel providing COMSEC. Chapter 2 provides Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) and Army Key Management System (AKMS) overview. This chapter also discusses modern keys and end cryptographic unit (ECU) interface specifications. Chapter 3 addresses distribution planning, distribution execution, over the air rekeying, encrypted (Black) key distribution, encrypted key operations, and transfer key encryption key (TrKEK) management. This chapter includes joint/North Atlantic Treaty Organization/coalition operations, and exercise and deployment COMSEC support. Chapter 4 describes hand receipting COMSEC material, issuing keys to local element, key management system certificate management, compromise recovery, and managing two-person integrity for COMSEC support. Chapter 5 addresses cryptographic network planning and signal operating instructions loadset management. Chapter 6 addresses ECU software upgrade planning and periodic tamper checks of ECUs. Chapter 7 includes identifying controlled cryptographic items, transfer of controlled cryptographic items between Army and Navy accounts, transfer of controlled items between Army and Air Force or other service or agency, and transfer of controlled items from Department of the Army (DA) activity address code accounts. Chapter 8 provides an overview of the KMI capabilities to include roles and responsibilities.

Field Manual (FM) 6-02, Signal Support to Operations, is the premier Signal doctrine publication, and only field manual. FM 6-02 compiles Signal Corps doctrine into three chapters with supporting appendices that address network operations in support of mission command and unified land operations and the specific tactics and procedures associated with organic and nonorganic Signal forces. The fundamental idea of Signal Corps tactics is the employment and ordered arrangement of Signal forces in a supporting role to provide LandWarNet across the range of military operations. The detailed techniques regarding the ways and methods to accomplish the missions, functions or tasks of the Signal Corps indicated in this FM will be addressed in supporting Army techniques publications (ATPs). Army forces operate worldwide and require a secure and reliable communications capability that rapidly adapts to changing demands.

Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative and creative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude of combinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the proper balance between maintaining the capability to respond to current threats and preparing for future challenges.

Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.
