TRADOC G-2 ACE Threat Integration (ACE-TI) is developing three new doctrinal
products—an Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 7-100 series—on the military
tactics of the Russian Federation, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and
the People’s Republic of China. These three fully unclassified ATPs are being
developed in conjunction with the US Army Combined Arms Center, Combined
Arms Doctrine Directorate (CADD). Current actions include worldwide staffing of
the program directive by CADD and framing of ATP content areas of interest by
ACE-TI for the doctrine development process in FY18-19.
The ATPs will reflect threats research conducted previously for a revision of US
Army Training Circular (TC) 7-100.2, Opposing Force Tactics, a TRADOC G-2 Threat
Tactics Report (TTR) on North Korea, and similar military data research on Russia
and China. With titles of Russian Tactics, North Korean Tactics, and Chinese Tactics,
a main theme of each will be how a peer or near-peer threat would probably
engage its military combined arms combat power in modern confrontations.
Focused at threat Army division and brigade echelons and subordinate task-
organized units, each ATP will also address enablers of threat higher headquarters
in support of tactical operations.
Principles of functional tactics common to offensive, defensive, and
counterstability actions are another theme of research and collaboration among
US Army and joint partners, the US Intelligence Community, US regional operators,
and other subject-matter experts. Current and near-term operational
environments host numerous multi-domain threats of ground maneuver, air,
space, cyber, and maritime capabilities in persistent conflict. The Red Diamond
newsletter will provide periodic updates on ATP development, staffing, and
discussion of doctrinal issues.
