ATP 3-05.1 Unconventional Warfare – 2021 – mini size

Unconventional Warfare at the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force Level

Dated 9 April 2021

ATP 3-05.1 provides the current United States (U.S.) Army special operations’ framework for conducting unconventional warfare (UW) operations at the combined joint special operations task force (CJSOTF) level. ATP 3-05.1 describes UW in the context of the joint force commander’s (JFC’s) campaign plan, CJSOTF command, and staff resistance-specific responsibilities for UW and unified action resistance-specific participation.

The principal audience for ATP 3-05.1 is commanders, staff officers, and operational personnel at the Special Forces Group Airborne (SFGA) and theater special operations command (TSOC) levels. This publication is specifically for SF Soldiers; however, it is also intended for Army-wide use to improve the integration of SF into the plans and operations of other special operations forces (SOF), conventional military forces, and unified action activities.

ATP 3-05.1 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard or Army National Guard of the United States (ARNG), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.

ATP 3-05.1 is the Army’s doctrinal foundation for UW execution at the SFGA-level when functioning as a CJSOTF with UW responsibilities.  ATP 3-05.1 is intended to be of practical value to SF Soldiers and commanders at the U.S. operational level and concentrates on how a JSOTF works effectively with both regular and irregular combined partners.

ATP 3-05.1 consists of five chapters and seven appendixes that are summarized in the following paragraphs.

Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of UW and enduring principles that guide it, sets UW within the context of national policy, and examines UW as a viable policy option. The chapter places the CJSOTF in the larger context of theater strategy, JTFs, and the hierarchy of SOF command relationships. The chapter then identifies a variety of main or supporting effort configurations based on the relative priority of UW to the overall campaign.

Chapter 2 details the resistance-focused roles and responsibilities of the CJSOTF commander, command team, and the CJSOTF coordinating staff.

Chapter 3 describes the resistance-focused roles and considerations of the CJSOTF special staff.

Chapter 4 highlights the resistance-focused roles and responsibilities of the CJSOTF personal staff and headquarters (HQ) commandant.

Chapter 5 examines the resistance-focused roles and responsibilities of interagency, joint, combined, and multinational staff at the CJSOTF level.

Appendixes A–G describe the following topics in greater detail:

(A) Special Activities Support to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force.
(B) Consolidated List of Service Component Unconventional Warfare Capabilities.
(C) Resistance, Support to Resistance, and Unconventional Warfare.
(D) Revolutionary and Insurgent Warfare Analysis.
(E) Unconventional Warfare Campaign Analysis.
(F) Resistance Symbols and Graphics.
(G) Liaison Officer Considerations.
