Welcome Aboard!

AHOY,


UPDATE 12/21/13, 11:42 HOURS

I am revealing who I am today i.e. posting my name, I am Keith Oeffinger, I was born in San Antonio Texas in 1963. See today's post 12/21/13 .


Update, 01/11/14 12:30 hours;

I would like to say, with only one reply, like three years ago, this blog seems too much like a mirror site to me. And it appears very few patriots are looking back at past posts.

The new “Fragmented Fighting Facts” series of posts that dedicates one post to each Basic rule has now been completed. This series starts with the post tilted “Post # 1, Planning, Preface” that posted on 05/12/13. This series is under the label “Tri-F in progress”. Posts well be updated as I edit or discover additional knowledge thus the series is the most current version of my "Fragmented Fighting Facts" manual. For an old but complete version i.e. all in one post copy. Patriots are welcomed to try viewing one of the “pages” listed in the “special word section” on the starboard side of the blog. I say try due to the fact I’m not sure if they are published i.e. viewable to the general public due to all the issues or HACKING with my blog. There is also a complete copy posted, that is titled, “Tri-F in progress” too, it was posted 11/13/10.

And feel free to fire away with a reply, (sarcasm on).


FLASH REPORT; the “TERRORIST ARE NOT AMONG US, AND NEVER WERE I.E. AL QAEDA IS A STAWL MAN, GHOST”.

The most important lesson that everyone should have taken away from the Boston Marathon bombings was that those young men proved that no al-queda members are in the u.s. Otherwise they too would just go get some presure cookers and had to a parade.

“I AM NOT A TERRORIST” this nation’s worst enemy is FEAR. This fear is being promoted mostly by the back woods, right wing, Christians of this nation. We need to separate church and state, period. And that is of course for the States sake.


I would like patriots to understand that I use the terms "official revealed fact" to mean what everyone is being told by officials, media etc. I use the term "kings truth" to mean what I know or believe to actually be the actual facts. I DO NOT MEAN IT IN A RELIGIOUS WAY. I.E. the term Kings is plural as in those running the show.


Preface for the Fragmented Fighting Facts

Note pink highlighted material is that, that IMO is questionable factually, it maybe an “official revealed fact” that I am questioning. The material may need to be defined i.e. explained more or it could be a personal note. Yellow is location undecided or unedited material i.e. unread that I have not decided on what to keep or not. Green means a change has been made i.e. an update. By noting the green updated highlights a Patriot well not have to read the Fragmented Fighting Facts in its entirety to stay current. Red is important, perhaps the "kings truth".

Newjarheaddean; this is my collection of combat notes. One might call it my anthology of combat tactics, techniques, methods and skills. The note taking began about fourty years ago (I was around 13 years old) with the observation of 10 rules listed with in a book covering the French and Indian i.e. Native American, wars, entitled “Roger’s Rangers”. That’s right the rules that started all this are “Army Ranger” rules, this book was located in the “Westfall” library in San Antonio Texas off of Vance Jackson. I get a kick out of the libraries name due to the general agreement that modern or state vs state warfare started with the singing of the peace treaties at Westphalia. I could not read at the time; however I knew that a list in a book on war would be important. I copied those rules down like a scribe might have written hieroglyphs and had my dad read them to me. . This discovery preceded numerous sources including approximately one hundred books and about a dozen field manuals, of which a few were of WWII era. These were found at libraries, half price bookstores and garage sales. Since going on line in 2007, I have found material on web sites such as “Defense and National Interest” (DNI), “Global security”, “Strategy page” , “Wikipedia” and “Bayonet strength” and “Efour4ever” in the combat lessons learned section. These last two sites cover WWII.

Previously referred to as K.O.O.L.N. (acronym definition, top secret), FLASH REPORTS; I NOW AM TELLING EVERYONE IT STANDS FOR KEITH OEFFINGER'S ORGANIZATION OF LEARNED KNOWLEDGE the joke on me here was I believed Knowledge was spelled with an (N). I was a special education student and did not learn to read until my last year of high school. I have now titled my work “Fragmented Fighting Facts” or “Tri-F”; the name derives from the computer grammar function always alerting me to the fragmented nature of my sentences. This is due to the “just the facts, ma’am” manor the material is written i.e. there has been little if any effort to write in whole sentences or provide context. This is not to say there is no order with Tri-F, in fact there is a theme. I have laid out the information as one might expect a commander or members of a unit to recall it thus utilizing it to conduct a mission.

We start with “Planning”, followed by the section on “Defense”, then there’s “Preparations and conduct of patrols” or “PCP”, and we end with “Conduct of Engagements” or “COE”, i.e. engagements being the term used here for shootouts. Each section of Tri-F consists of numbered “Basic rules”, each basic rule followed by detailed notes that either relate to, explain, or give examples pertaining to the basic rules. As with the general format of Tri-F, each section’s basic rules are laid out as one might need to recall them. This is most obvious in the last section COE starting with basic rule number one, “Flash report”, i.e. actions to take upon contact with the enemy. This sections last basic rule deals with handling POWs.

Keep in mind this is a work in progress; I’m constantly discovering new information to add which in turn still at times requires rearranging things. At the same time, interestingly enough to me, I have not needed to rearrange my original order of the basic rules for quite some time. There are however, two instances where the detailed information fallowing a pair of basic rules became so similar I decided to combine the pair into one basic rule. These two occurrences are noted in footnotes.

Now heed this, out of all the information contained within this work, only an estimated 1% was taught to me while I was serving in the U.S.M.C. Moreover, to put a fine point on it, it’s worth noting I served in Charlie Company, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division, i.e. an Infantry unit. Before my discharge (after only a two year cruse), I attended Jungle Warfare School in the northern training area of Okinawa (for two weeks), Mountain Warfare School in Korea (for one week) and Combat Town Camp Pendleton for MOUT training (for one day). I did not take part in any amphibious training nor did I ever go to Twenty Nine Palms for Desert Warfare training. We did ride around in AAVs once at Camp Pendleton. All in all I would say the only things I missed out on were a beach landing (at Coronado I believe) and a little sun burn, due to the fact that those twenty nine palms, I was told in the early eighties were all located at the front gate of that base. Needless to say, the training did not impress me, and I now know it was not going to get any better as some suggested to me at the time, and still others later claimed that I should have just stayed in longer.

With my position on the lack of training, I do wish to make it perfectly clear that I do support the service women and men in the U.S. armed forces. I also believe them to be as brave as any people on earth, (with the exception of the (Y) generation). My concern is in the way the Infantry especially is being mislead and used. I want people to understand my experience and IMO a lot of evidence suggests Uncle Sam intends to use his infantry in ways that does not include training any generation in the art of “traditional Guerilla combat tactics” i.e. as a “Traditional Commando” would be. I am not talking about “SWAT” team “Close quarter” tactics, like the “Stick dynamic entry”. That tactic should be called the “cluster f**k”. Just call that sort of tactic what it is NYPD (Cops T.V. show bad-boys, bad-boys) in Afghanistan.

The problem is that that tactic was developed by police departments to deal with an objective occupied by drugged up party animals, i.e. untrained civilians. The police never use it in a spur of the minute situation. They use it when the house/objective has been under constant surveillance for mouths in some cases and the police know all manner of information about everyone in the house and the structure and neighborhood in general. The cops choose a time when everyone is pasted out from partying the night before and have long lost any weapons (between the cushions or under the bed) they might have had on them as show pieces during the party. The primary reason for the large numbers of police in close proximity is to make sure the gang does not think the raid is a rival gang “brake in” and thus resist in any way. There is lots of yelling too, thus reinforcing the message that no one is trying to be covert, like one would be to get away with a crime.

This brings up an intriguing observation of mine; that being that by the book an assault should be made from the top down, yet the troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere use the Stick dynamic entry and usually enter from the front door, like a SWAT team. However resent high profile raids show the SWAT teams attacking from the top down. Examples you may recall are the raids on the Shinning path group in Peru in 2000 and the Mumbai raid by Indian forces on the Jewish center in 2008. IMO this proves the existence of what I’ll refer to as a “need to know” training policy, being followed by various governments, the purpose being to limit the number of true Commandos that could become tomorrow’s rebels, apposing corrupt governments. One last thing about the Stick, IMO every single time the regular forces unit conducting one of these foolish Stick dynamic entries comes under fire i.e. runs into resistance, the Stick brakes i.e. the whole unit evacuates and awaits some kind of support form tanks, guns, tubes or air. Bottom line IMO the Stick is used as a probing tactic and is meant to be a moral boosting show peace tactic to make the unit feel as if it has taken a hill, which was nothing more than another empty building, that IMO Intel suggested, was the case before the entry was ordered. Recalling the police policy of long periods of surveillance prior to raids.

It also seems to me that in light of the old saying “you can fight a war with bombs and blockades but only boots on the ground can win it” ( IMO, Uncle Sam has now revised that saying, as fallows) “you can win a war with bombs and blockades, but only the infantry can end the war”, farther more IMO Uncle Sam has gone one more step and decided to use private security companies and local i.e. indigenous people for the infantry role. All this fear of true commandos is all very similar to the “Mujahideen” not being allowed by various governments, to return to their homelands i.e. native nations, after fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

And as for the U.S. and other Western nations, training foreigners to fight a counter insurgency goes. IMO this training includes nothing more than police procedures i.e. conducting investigations, forensics, searching individuals and buildings to collect evidence and yes serving warrants, if necessary, with those all mighty “stick” tactics. And of course, lots of “new innovative techniques and tactics” involving CAS and IMO (Old) so called high tech equipment the U.S. Military Industrial Congressional Complex wants to clear out of the warehouses.

All in all IMO Uncle Sam has chosen to put just about all his eggs in one advanced technology system, think Star Wars Storm Troopers or Matrix i.e. the Operator or Morpheus trying to guide Neo and others to safety. IMO it looks something like this; (x) unit go to (x) address, kick in front door, use stairs to your right, go south down hallway to (x) door, it is unlocked, interning room go to (x) window looking out window to the north you will see your target running east though the neighbors garden. All this information and the “live” feeds of target and area of operations would be provided by a fleet of satellites as well as Near space assets that are never mentioned by the media as current military assets and of course there’s the robots, UAVs and a flood of other covertly deployed sensors as well as covert eves dropping of any civilian electronic devices in the Area of operations.

Thus in light of these and similar so called “new innovative, techniques and tactics” (notice the media and governments choice of words “techniques and tactics” as if we’re talking Commando training i.e. why not use some modern high tech terms the system is so eager to introduce us all to normally as a matter of routine), IMO Uncle Sam has placed the traditional Guerrilla combat tactics, on the back burner and is hoping they all go the way of other black arts.

This is not just true of the infantry; let us take a peek at aerial combat. Does anyone out there actually think today’s U.S. pilots are turning and burning, pulling high (G) maneuvers trying to hit the entry windows and get inside the bandits turn. Think any pilot has conducted a yo-yo or split S maneuver lately or made the choice between a single or two-circle fight. Now days its all about stealth, ECM and Smart even autonomous weapons, missiles especially BVR tech. IMO this explains why the U.S. Navy is not concerned with not having a front line fighter equal to the USAF F-22 Raptor. An article I recently read on “Strategy page” mentioned a lot of talk about a Navy F/A-18E at an air show, displaying a little F-22 silhouette decal i.e. a simulated Kill credit symbol/icon. IMO the F/A- 18E did not gun down that kill.

And then everyone knows that just about all now and IMO soon all weapons systems including the bayonet well have a chip in it.

So if the electronics ever fail (maybe due to a shift in the axis of earths electromagnetic field, passed a certain point or perhaps a record size solar flare) IMO it well be the masters of the age-old Guerrilla combat tactics i.e. The Fragmented Fighting Facts Basic Rules that survive, keeping in mind “no one wins”.

I also wish, that those who join the various services where told all this up front i.e. “we do not intend to train you as a traditional Commando”.

Another thing I would like everyone to consider is that; what makes a Marine special is not the training she or he receives, no it’s the steel the youth demonstrates when they choose to join the Marines. Even when compared to the Special Forces, who IMO are only specialists in their particular field, once again mostly high tech specialties and whose ranks are filled with older personnel that have already been serving and have graduated from a boot camp i.e. are aware of the hoop and hype hurry up and wait tactics. And who are then usually chosen i.e. coached into changing their MOS. I am aware of the change in recruitment policy after 2001 allowing for direct entry into the S.F. community. IMO a rarity and IMO it is still not the same as just choosing to go to a Marine Corps Recruit Depot from the start.

Furthermore, to those who just well not accept the truth about the lack of training along the lines of traditional Guerrilla combat tactics. I can now say that I have exchanged comments with a number of Iraqi and Afghanistan combat vets. These comments can be found on the internet if you Google up my call sign, Newjarheaddean also spelled with one (D). IMO it is obvious that the tactics I speak of are news to the vets, some have made commits that proves in combat they were just winging it. And no, I don’t believe that all the vets are observing some kind of code of silence on these tactics including the vets who are against the wars. Unless everyone wants to say that YouTube and other internet companies are conspiring to edit all combat footage that shows these tactics being used and that, the vets are staging other videos that show them (albeit with great bravery) as armatures without a clue and winging it. If anyone ever sees video, showing the tactics listed in Tri-F being used, be sure and provide a link with your comment. I once saw a flash of film on CNN showing combat in Lebanon during the 1980s that showed some of these tactics being used by a Guerrilla fighter. I well also say I do believe that UAV footage is edited by the Pentagon to keep the public from seeing the few but well trained Taliban and other Guerrilla fighters that are using these tactics. Alternatively, maybe people think our professional highly trained well-equipped military is unable to defeat 10 – 20 thousand religious extremist amateur thugs in almost a decade of fighting. All the while killing at least by some estimates 100 a mouth including dozens of top commanders.

Let me also say, on the numbers of U.S. PTSD casualties, i.e. IMO, WIA, (And IMO deserving of a Purple Heart). The Government portrays these cases as a result of fighting a war that is “unlike any other war we have fought before” (LOL). Facing an enemy that is fighting in some mysterious and or cowardly manor that simply cannot be countered by military means. I believe the high numbers are a result of US forces fighting in a manner that is suicidal i.e. pointless and counterproductive to the real world situation. Example; you have a young brave American ready to fight for the nation, while on one of these IMO “Russian roulette parades” someone shoots at the unit from some building, everyone scrambles for cover, as some spray and pray, then after determining the location using SWATS (Soldier Worn Acoustic Targeting Systems) sniper detectors, or one of the many similar vehicle mounted systems the commander calls in some sort of CAS, if someone’s brains have been blow out especially if it was an officer or the location is vague, a real “crowd pleaser” maybe used i.e. 2000 pounder.

IMO this is how 90% of engagements (fought by regular infantry units) are resolved. Special Forces are now and in the feature more and more regular infantry well be using the Matrix. And to those that think this is the exception I say show me the number of WIA or KIA (On either side) by small arms fire i.e. during traditional firefights. Even if one includes sniper fire those figures are really low. So IMO after witnessing all the carnage and innocent civilian life being lost and receiving all those looks from the witnesses, it is the American that realizes it is his unit that is not fighting right.

This is reinforced and really sinks in back in the states when the vet is asked to tell the Commando stories that never occurred and thus the vet must tell the truth i.e. give up the Commando reputation, keep it all inside or start lying. If the first option is chosen that unveiling reality is demoralizing and makes it all not worth it. If either one of the other chooses are made IMO the vet becomes the ticking bomb. And I can tell you all that many times, I have recalled being told once that “when you go home keep your mouth shut about the things we did. If you don’t you well be thought of as a liar or crazy and either which way your life well be over”. That First Sergeant was right, but like my daddy use to say, “He’s right but he does not know why he’s right” i.e. IMO the First Sgt. thought of what we did in terms of remarkable heroic feats. However, IMO certainly since the beginning of the Vietnam era, it is the lack of training i.e. the manner in which our service women and men are fighting that keeps this tragedy going.

I would also suggest the vets of today are just like I was 25 or so years ago in the sense that they know there training is lacking, however, they just cannot explain what’s missing. However unlike me they refuse to accept that old fashion “black arts” are the answer i.e. should be the basis of basic training. And I now know the “Black art” tactics they and I should have been trained in and I can now say, “The PFC that told the Corp it was out of step, now has provided the proof”. What surprises me is that most vets it seems don’t care at all about the tactics I speak of and seem to view me as an unpatriotic “party pooper”, when I’m just a U.S. Marine trying to improve the Corps and save lives. Bottom line IMO the infantry needs to consist of unmarried i.e. undistracted, NO CHILDREN, dedicated true professionals, trained in the tactics listed in Tri-F and many more I am sure exist.

And to those that say “chivalry is for the museums” I say “first we must have peace on earth”.

Post # 8, Planning, Step 1

AHOY,

Update; 06/12/13 10: 24 hours, this is just a title update.







FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS

NO ONE WINS, THIS IS FORGOTTEN. WARS ARE EASY TO START, EXPENSIVE TO CONTINUE AND DIFFICULT TO STOP. WARS OFTEN BEGIN WHEN SOMEONE FEELS VICTORY IS ASSURED. THE FIGHT CONTINUES LARGELY BECAUSE OF NATIONAL AND PERSONAL PRIDE. WARS END WHEN ONE OR BOTH SIDES ARE DEVASTATED, DEMORALIZED AND RARELY SUDDENLY ENLIGHTEN BY THE ABSURDITY OF IT ALL. 

James Dunnigan
Then there is this…

THERE IS NO WAY TO PEACE, PEACE IS THE WAY.

The pacifist motto




Three golden rules


1) There well be times for exceptions to the rules; due to circumstances. 2) Avoid setting patterns; from time to time, you should conduct yourself in an unorthodox manor as apposed to an orthodox manor. Make a habit of considering if not choosing alternatives to unfolding situations. Pattern avoidance techniques, IMO the U.S. can start by not using, go go go go, I just want to add girls to that every time I hear it, why don’t Marines esp. use the old OOH- RAH, GET SOME etc. IMO every time the enemy hears go, go go go, they can be 90% sure that at that moment your entering i.e. attacking. 3) Think like the foe; for instance recall and consider your offensive knowledge when in the defense to predict your foes offensive plans.   

The fallowing is from Mr Aguilar’s site “Sniper Flash Cards”, edited comments from Aslan Maskhadov. It appears Mr. Aguilar has mixed his own words and experiences with Mr. Maskhadov’s.  

He may go on to spin all kinds of fanciful strategems for carrying out a counter-attack, and send hundreds of "secret" messages (using the ever popular substitution cipher) giving "orders" to his "troops," but all that really matters is that everybody knows that the invaders have committed themselves to a raid. Then, each civilian sniper independently rolls a six sided die. If they are disciplined, and they must be to trust their fate to chance, they will attack as follows:

Die Roll
Action
1
Attack the target from the NW
2
Attack the target from the NE
3
Attack the target from the SW, here I think it would have been better to stick with a clock wise manner i.e. gone with SE then SW.
4
Attack the target from the SE
5
Attack the nearest freeway off-ramp from the left
6
Attack the nearest freeway off-ramp from the right


The purpose of using dice is to get the civilian snipers to completely surround the target, regardless of local conditions. You can't just tell them to spread out. There must be some mechanism in place that automatically results in the snipers distributing themselves evenly around the target.

Unless they roll dice, civilian snipers will invariably do one of three things:

1) They will make a beeline for the target without any attempt to think tactically until they are actually being shot at. The invaders aren't stupid. They knew before the raid began that there was a large residential neighborhood nearby and one or two choke points, like bridges, directly between it and the target. They'll probably have heavy, water cooled machine guns pouring bullets onto those bridges. This is one reason why I advocate civilian snipers being mounted on motorcycles. It only takes a few minutes to make a three mile radius around a target and approach it from the other side. Pedestrians don't have time for that.

2) They will go to a shooting position that seems "optimal," based on general tactical principles. For instance, elsewhere on this website I have suggested firing over a barrier, like a canal, to prevent mounted troops from rushing you. That's good advice if you're the only one in the field and are attacking a target that nobody else is aware of. It's bad advice if 90% of the civilian snipers in town are elbowing each other out of the way to position themselves behind the only canal in the vicinity. The invaders will just drop a bomb on the sniper's "optimal" shooting position.

3) They will neglect to consider the path that the enemy's reinforcements will take. Initial contact with an enemy patrol accomplishes only two things: It pins them down by wounding one or two of them, and it causes them to radio for help. The response to such a call will be impressive. A cop was once shot a few blocks from where I lived, my balcony overlooking a major thoroughfare. His vest stopped the bullet, he shot his assailant a dozen times and then radioed in an “officer down” call. I did not observe this, but I did observe the response. Thirteen patrol cars raced past, all with lights and sirens on. They took up all three lanes of the street, pushing everybody aside. There were probably another thirteen approaching in a similar manner from the other direction. This is why rolls five and six of the die direct the snipers to attack the nearest freeway off-ramp. Far more enemy casualties can be produced by attacking the reinforcements than attacking the patrol that was initially engaged and is now dug in and waiting for those reinforcements.

Newjarheaddean; As one can see I have the previous notes highlighted in yellow do to the fact I have not yet decided what all to keep and exactly were it well be nor do I agree with it all. Dose anyone care to discuse this material?


PLANNING


In this section, I have done my best to eliminate the repeat, filibuster and general B.S., which is found in all Field manuals. IMO Uncle Sam likes to change his terms and acronyms at every level of command and annually in most cases. Examples listed below…

I got all these mimonics or acronyms below mostly from the site “Supper Marine”. And just for your info Marines, the Corp inspires Vs motivates, motivation is like caffeine it only last for a while.


Troop leading steps; BAMCIS:
B - Begin Planning
A - Arrange Reconnaissance
M - Make Reconnaissance
C - Complete Planning
I - Issue Orders
S - Supervise (Supervise being the most important step)

Five paragraph order; O-SMEAC
O - Orientation
S - Situation
M - Mission
E - Execution
A - Administration and Logistics
C - Command and Signal

Contents of the Admin and Logistics paragraph of the 5 Paragraph Order i.e. Five Bs;
Beans - Food
Bullets - Ammunition
Batteries - Communication Resupply
Band-Aids - Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC)
Bad Guys - Enemy POWs


Acronyms for tactical control measures and planning:
LOD - Line of Departure (a line designated to coordinate the beginning of an attack)
FCL - Final Coordination Line (coordinates final deployment of assault echelon)
RFL - Restrictive Fire Line (limits the fires and effect of fires of maneuver elements)
FEBA - Forward Edge of the Battle Area
MBA - Main Battle Area

Estimating the situation; METT-TSL
M - Mission
E - Enemy
T - Terrain and Weather
T - Troops and Fire Support Available
TSL - Time, Space, and Logistics


Steps in establishing the defense; SAFE-SOC
S - Security
A - Automatic Weapons
F - Interlocking Fields of Fire
E - Entrenchment

S - Select primary and supplementary firing positions
O - Construct Obstacles
C - Camouflage, cover and concealment

What are the fundamentals of the defense? KOCOA
K - Key terrain
O - Observation and Fields of Fire
C - Cover and Concealment
O - Obstacles
A - Avenues of Approach


Many of the letters in these acronymns excuse me mimonics, are repetitive i.e. represent the same information, and you would find all of these and many more imo involved in various stages of the planning or various levels of command with in the systems used by U.S. services. This keeps generations of U.S. service women and men confused and bewildered i.e. busy learning to speak the new language and thus thinking they have learned something useful, which is only necessary because of all the never-ending changes in terms and acronyms describing the same age-old procedures of planning. My point here is that if Uncle Sam would “STOP THAT”, a warrior class could develop i.e. military knowledge would be passed from one generation to the next. Moreover, as previously stated imo conflicts would come down to who was in the right. However, of course I understand that, that is exactly what the U.S government, dose not want. Anyways any information that is covered in any of the above acronyms you well find it covered (once) in my system.       

NOTE; before going any further, you need to understand the fallowing about this (Planning) section. IMO there are three phases and six steps in preparing to conduct a military operation or any organized effort.
The first Phase we well refer to as Planning; in this phase you well use all your mental faculties over coming mental challenges i.e. brain storming. Some things IMO worth considering are as fallows; O’Neal’s law, which is “Murphy was an optimist”. In addition, keep in mind, no plan survives the first few minutes of any battle. The important things are always simple, the simple things are always difficult. History has show long periods of peace, create wide gaps between theory and actual combat.

The next phase is Preparation; this is when you well conduct reduced force then full dress rehearsals. You begin Pre-positioning of equipment, supplies and troops. Start decoy and psychological operations. Short time between completing preparations and implementation. Note here the tried and true VC tactical doctrine of four fast one slow; fast advance, fast assault, fast battlefield clearance, and fast withdrawal (aabcd) are based on slow preparation.
The final phase is the Execution phase this is implementing your plan i.e. conducting your mission.


(Reference also see Step # 2 Cmdrs intent, Decision guidance, part B) Time available and Step # 3, Pro guerrilla/insurgency operations, “Exploitation phase”)


Finally, you need to know that this system should be seen and utilized as a cyclic system. Steps 1-4 are repeated at least three times in the Planning and the Preparation phases then in the Execution phase, step 4 is replaced with step 5 and step 6. Six being viewed as a last but not least task and a continuous modus operandi (M.O.) i.e. Standard operational procedure, S.O.P.. The steps are as fallows.

STEP 1) Gathering information;

Information gathered is listed and organized in various I.S.A.L.U.T.E. - R.W.P. reports. Examples are located in Step # 3 Concept of operations part (A). What information is to be gathered? The best way to answer that question is to consider everything listed in Tri-F, i.e. if you need to know something to conduct an operation, odds are your foe will have a counter part and you should be trying to discover it. For example the Commander’s intent, explained in step # 2.  Information is to be gathered on current and potential foes to include current allies. Take away the enemy’s recon and you are on the road to victory i.e. denying foe the ability to know your preparations adds to your odds of winning. Recon dose give ones intentions away, however knowledge cannot be gained from ghost, spirits nor projected from heaven, it most be gathered from a trusted man on the ground (a Marine). A sufficient amount of human intelligence can determine what is real or true and what is not. This is far more convincing than data from electronic sensors on satellites, aircraft or other platforms, which may appear much more precise and tangible, but can be misleading and fail to discern between real or diversionary data. Or for that matter, information from spies that might be double or expendable i.e. dead agents.

Five types of spies; Local from the local area, i.e. area of operations. Internal their people, i.e. member of the target organization. Turned aka Double agent i.e. foes spies working for us. These are most important, seek them out make great offers i.e. bribes. Do what you can to make them appear capable and reliable to their own, for instance instruct and feed information to them. Dead spy aka Expendable, used to spread falls information to foe’s agents. Or sacrificed to promote a double agent.  Living spy, are simply those that survive. No relationships are closer than those with spies and no rewards are greater. Thus, espionage is expensive. Many females go into intelligence work because they are bared from combat the traditional road to promotion. Intelligence work, requires, attention to nuance, diligence, perception, and good communication skills. These are just the traits females’ tent to have an edge over their male counterparts. In addition, there is no premium on physical strength.

POWs and informants are a copious source of human intelligence. People are difficult to deal with and interpret, that is their intent or motivations. Cross checks on their information is difficult to verify. Nothing parishes faster than information. Lots of information is just contingency plans for possible operations. When playing the great game you are exploiting the nature of the intelligence analyst. All is not what is appears to be. It is quite easy to create an illusion where none is intended. It is often not just a matter of different analyst coming to different conclusions. Each intelligence organization represent/have different interest/requirements. Another problem is differences between cultures, interpreting information or events differently.                      
Example; U.S. vs. Russia, the two cultures don’t think alike, it’s a classic (OCEANIC VS. CONTENINTAL) (NAVY VS. ARMY) situation. Most analyst are never able to fully perceive the unique mind set of their opposite. Scattered individuals do posses the abilities. However in most nations especially totalitarian factions, group mentality and party solidarity work against logical/correct interpretations. Highly advanced and open societies publish lots of written information like manuals. However, equipment is better to analyze. Russia is at a disadvantage here do to more export sales.   

The fallowing info is highlighted in pink do to the fact I’m brain storming here, spiff-balling etc Also I was realizing that on this copy I had used green i.e. for noting changes made in this copy as compared to others, however some of the green could also have been yellow highlighted too, do to the fact that it was not just a change but unedited, but who cares right.

From the battlefield with unfolding situations information could be categorized by Timeline to include date the timeline is the most important factor/criteria, for processing information through the chain of command. Situation next so receiver knows how urgent, Command, Location.

Example; i.e. possibilities are; Situation 1) Tactical, covered Command levels, Individual Marine, Fireteam, Squad, Platoon, Company or Battalion. We’ll stick with A.O. i.e. area of operations to represent the area your unit is responsible for. IMO the A.O. would be defined by the unit’s ability (based on its Organic weapons or systems maximum ranges, NOT any supportive means it can draw on) to monitor/observe/influence or attack a given area. If you get silly I would say sending letters would be covered by Division.

 Note also consider as we continue with the time, situation, command and location format information would usually coincide. That is to say duplicates would be coming in. I think the 911 systems have been dealing with that one. LOL. One suggestion would be to choice a lead/main and just record others if low on personal for instance. Tactical Timeline covering twenty-four hours or less.
Situation 2) Operational, here the units become the second in the chain of command if you well. They are your immediate supervion and reserves. So units handle the procument, Storage and analyeis i.e. turning info into intelligence for Command levels of Battalion, Regiment or Division, depending on you organizations structure. Location level, Theater covering Regions i.e. Middle East, South America or a particular Nation and its surrounding Nations. Timeline covering twenty-four hours and one second ago (LOL) and up to a mouth.
Situation 3) Strategic covering, procurement, Storage and analysis etc. for Command levels Division, Corps or service Branch Headquarters. Location level, covering Global information pertaining to locations anywhere on earth that dose not originate in one of the other two location levels. This strategic global level would also cover information about Near Space (12-62 miles of altitude) or actual space assets. Thus the top Headquarters, would divide its database into the three situation and various sub level levels. However the Corp or Division (which ever is your highest) tactical and operational databases would merely be backup copies. (See fallowing information Headquarters task). Strategic Timeline, one mouth or more.

Furthermore your top level of command would truly be more like an overall Strategy think tank. And investigate any alleged discrepancies by lower command sepecially the individual Marine reports, i.e. Cmdr using all leadership guidelines in reverse.


Headquarters’ task; headquarters monitors and maintains all primary databases at tactical and operational levels thus supervising all units databases and actions. Only the strategic database is a headquarters original and for the Generals eyes-only, if you well.

 Note a database is not synonymous with ideal storage; it is the constant analytical center. Today’s modern units operating under any so-called Network centric warfare or Sea power 21 concepts would dictate that Headquarters become the webmaster. This would not only involve analyzing large amounts of information in all databases, but distributing it too. Analyzing data includes checking the accuracy and looking for indications of patterns as well as combining related information to maximize its usefulness, at a minimum. It is very important that patterns noted in lower level databases be sent to Headquarters. Other priority information to be sent (aka pushed) to Headquarters would be items like maps, photos, diaries or flyers. Various personnel assigned to monitor lower level databases yet physically located at Division or Corp Headquarters (which ever is your highest) would conduct this analyzing and lower to higher “pushing” i.e. downloading. Note only if modern computer networks where not available would it be necessary for lower level command personnel located with the various commands to conduct this function, by all means necessary i.e. radio, couriers etc. However, with computer networks, ideally lower level units need only to fight battles and feed information to their database, and then receive Intelligence from Headquarters.

Note the difference between Information and Intelligence, Information is the raw data, before it has been analyzed i.e. checked for accuracy, patterns and combined with other data to maximize its usefulness and thus converted into Intelligence.              

Information possessing; all Commanders must constantly note what is known or unknown i.e. tangible or intangible with people places and events. Incoming information i.e. input, is received at a database, analyzed then used within a unit or sent to other databases. Out going information i.e. output, has been sent (“pushed”) or shared. The distribution of intelligence and the concept of “push” must have a clear definition. Push is not about higher commands sharing all information with everyone, which leads to information overload. Rather “push” is where someone who has relevant information shares it with or (pushes) it to the proper unit so that information can be utilized i.e. converted into intelligence or acted upon. 

Term Actionable intelligence (IMO actionabull) i.e. bullshit hope and hype term. Prioritizing information; in this system time becomes the most important categorizing or organizing factor. Hence, IMO all information would first be analyzed to see if it applies to the tactical situation of all tactical commands then operational and lastly strategic and so on.



Prioritizing criteria; possibilities are Time, clock and date the information was received. Context, is it stated in present or past tense, is the information in the form of a question i.e. possible request or is it a statement i.e. possible verification. Location, area information originated from or referred to.

Reference, Step # 2 Commander’s intent, Decision guidance.)

Note all this would require titles and keywords I have not put any thought into yet.


Example of prioritizing a message; fireteam requesting a dust off for a Marine who has fallen ill. This information would go into the system by means of data entry, radio transmission or maybe just a visual, observed by Strategic command with real time UAV, near space, satellite imagery or just a pair of binoculars viewing from the physical high ground. Recalling the SOP of using couriers i.e. secure means to keep bad news or casualties’ secret. Keeping in mind IMO anytime a firefight starts medical evacuation transport and equipment would be pre-positioned to perform quick reaction extractions (lol) just like air rescue teams.
Continuing with example, Strategic command would observe this request in the fireteams computer database if data categorized as Situation Tactical, Command level Tactical i.e. including I.D. of unit,  Location level Tactical including grid co-ordinance, Timeline tactical in twenty-four hour clock and date. Then Strategic command would generate a request to the proper unit and level of command. Most likely and lets just say a Regiment. Thus, the strategic commands request would be categorized as Situation level Operational, Command level Operational including I.D. of unit being hailed, Location level Operational i.e. this is location of unit being hailed. Timeline Tactical i.e. related to Fireteams initial request and until it is more than twenty-four hours old. The Regiments reply would go to the fireteams database NOT to Strategic Commands. Thus it is categorized as Situation, Command, Location Tactical i.e. location of WIA. Timeline already explained. Thus Strategic and tactical unit making original request both get confirmation at same tactical time. 

Note handlers are always portrayed as males, but there is the closer. Ha!

Is message from a mobile or stationary operator? Recon or infantry. Logistics, engineer etc.

Categories of “intelligence Items” 1) persons/organizations, 2) items, 3) After action reports/ Documents/ events, infrastructure/terrain and weather. Note these items were all mentioned separately in the MCA article I combined them. 

Any time the unit calls for support from guns or air etc this is a Theater 


Radio procedures;
Always know your location or at least note some kind of F.O.R. before going on the air. When you are on the fringes of communications, (such as in a building or at the communications boundaries edge) look for a receiving "hot spot" site and use it. Don't walk around talking while in a communications fringe area. Repeaters have much more power than you’re handheld. Even if you have a good signal from a repeater, it does not mean you are good going into the repeater. Lesson to radio for a few seconds to make sure no one else is communicating. Key mike for at least two seconds to ensure the first part of your message is not cut off, talk across the microphone i.e. hold the face of the microphone at a right angle to your face. Identify whom you are calling by call sign. Then identify yourself by saying “this is” fallowed by your call sign and “over”. Don’t forget to unkey the mike. After contact has been made i.e. once you have been acknowledged by the unit you are calling you may omit “this is” and give your message. Never say numbers in combinations, transmit number sequences as a series of individual numbers. Spell out proper names using the phonetic alphabet. If your message is a question, deduction, WAG, or hearsay, identify it as such. Just like separating facts from opinions in written messages with a line. Many people with radios have a tendency to talk and/or repeat too much. Say what you need to say without unnecessary repeats. Keep in mind that you must strive to get your message through the first time. Speak slowly; pausing after logical phrases, especially important if the message needs to be written down. Speak, distinctly, clearly; and do not let your voice trail off at the end of words or sentences. Give each and every word equal force.
Do not use the word "break" when you pause. It is confusing, wastes time and has other connotations i.e. Brake is used if some emergency requires you to stop giving the radio your undivided attention. You end each transmission with “over” or “clear”. If the other station has questions, they should key up and make their request known. This also permits others with emergency traffic to break in. When you are completely through you end with “this is (call sign) over and out”.

If you did not understand any part of a message reply with “say again”.
When you have understood the message, acknowledge the receipt with the word "roger". The word "copy" is used to ask if someone is ready to copy your message. If you must write notes acknowledge that you received the message with copy or acknowledge fallowed with “stand by”. In 1957 "roger" was replaced by "romeo," the current designation, but by then "roger" = "received" was so entrenched that the brass knew better than to try and change it.

Intelligence preparation of the battle field, I.P.B., Area studies, Net assessments:
Comparing of intelligence on two nations/groups to answer questions concerning mission and most likely victor. Receptiveness; determining if a particular group will respond favorably to a particular psyops task. Actual and possible behavior of group, before during and after ops. Vulnerabilities; possible reprisals for cooperation. Weaknesses of any kind that a competitor could exploit to reduce support or security of an Allie. Daily activities; routines “when they”, sleep, (people on the street (P.O.S.) sleep during the day to avoid the bugs, rats and snakes, of the night) get up, what and when they eat, where and how they get there food and water. (P.O.S. do grocery store dining i.e. take a few eggs from carton. As well as taking advantage of all free samples i.e. promotional give a ways). Location of items connected with various aspects of life and ceremonies. Pay attention to not only obvious but subtle ways group demonstrates views, gestures, accepted ways of meeting. Who is lessoned too most often and under what conditions and circumstances, especially emergencies. Note out side help the particular needs, views of friends’, values, judging one another, accepted extremes. Diversity within groups is not uncommon. Separated segments living in isolation, can be of radically different compositions biological, sociological customs, conflicting histories, religion, political and materiel needs.
The Qawm [tribe], not Afghanistan, is the basic unit of social community and, outside the family, the most important focus on individual loyalty.

History Irish the brits didn’t understand 60k of us had given our life’s at Somme. Irish guerrilla units. Provies, stickies, taigs, prods and brits: the INLA, UDA, UVF, UFF; SDLP, Unionists, loyalists and peace people: orange orders, black orders and UDR men who murdered Catholics: and protestants who called themselves Irish. It was too much for me all I saw here was a confusing mass of tribes and clans.

Criminals, trust is established on the bases of personal history, experiences, criminal acts/M.O., customs, foods, up bringing, neighborhoods and prisons, ethnicity, shared friends, forms of entertainment, recreation, dress habits, languages. Italian is as much a language of gestures and facial expressions.
Groups should not be judged by your values. But based on groups social values and experiences, history. People posses’ attitudes because they meet current or past needs. Races that live in tropics and in country of jungle/brush are timid as compared to men who live in Mountains, and nomadic wonders of desert or Islanders. Often previously written reports are to general in nature or bias to be of any use. Talk directly to others who have been there. Evaluation of discussions made to discover errors. Conclusions made by you previously will be treated as tentative in nature. When asking questions, any suggestion of correct answers will be avoided. People tend to give answers they think you won’t to here. With these things in mind a revaluation can be made. Company commanders spending lots of time at city council meetings.

SP the data mining was initially used to figure out who the bomb making crews were, and where they operated from. Then, using math techniques first developed during WWII, the intel geeks began creating predictions about where IEDs were most likely to show up next. These predictive models got better as the quality of the information going into them improved i.e. as history record improves terrorists captured and interrogated.


“The real problem in gathering info as we shop (local markets) etc is the language barrier, each man has a pack of flash cards with basic phrases in English and Arabic, the Arabic spelled phonetically and also in script. If he can't say it right, he can point." Some troops purchased computerized translation systems like (Phrase-later). The PDA sized unit allows the user to speak into it, and in a few seconds, what was said, comes out in Arabic or any other language the Phrase-later is programmed for.
U.S. offered the large Arabic speaking population in the State of Ohio special one tour enlistment packages, with big bonuses. It didn't matter how old they were, there was no PFT, all they wanted was translators, they hoped would be loyal to us. "Finally, I've told the locals that anyone who works for us will be eligible for a Green Card. SP 10/10/08 but the danger is great. From 2005-7, when two out of every thousand American soldiers serving in Iraq were killed, some 30 out of every thousand translators died.
SP the oldest biometric indicator is your appearance, which is pretty unique. Next came fingerprints, which were first used four centuries ago, first used by police 150 years ago. Then came blood types and a whole bunch of stuff you could only do with dead bodies. One of the first used a lot was typing patterns. First discovered in the 19th century, when telegraph operators started recognizing each others tapping pattern on the keys. This was called an operators "chop", and now applies to keyboards, software can recognize individuals.
“Pattern recognition” software, might be used not only for color, but size, shape, texture, and movement, thus I.D. items and individuals, by skin pigment, weight, and weather your wearing a expensive suit or no shirt at all.
Higher resolution digital cameras made possible, “gait” analysis (we each walk with a distinctive gait), using this as a surveillance tool, UAVs can spot you. Of course you can deceive behavioral biometrics, but it isn't easy, and you're never sure that your change up has fooled the software.

(Reference, PCP, rule # 8)

“Besides the pictures, iris and fingerprints, what other information is tied to this biometric?” LT. COL. VELLIQUETTE: “well, when you take the person's biometrics, you have them bring in their jensea (ph) card, which is the Iraqi national identification card. Essentially we're assigning fingerprints to this person's identity. So all that information off the jensea card (ph) his name, father's, mother's, travel names, address, height, weight, hair color, all is entered into the database, both in English and Arabic.

Equip every patrol with cameras. When fired on, you get a pictures of those doing the firing. Then, a "contract" is put out on those who can be identified. Sponsor a local T.V. program showe POWs who have killed civilians being interrogated. This has been highly effective in Iraq. (IMO; But don’t show it on CNN).
Distinguish between POWs on the basis of motivation, tribe, religion or some other basis that local people will recognize. Then, treat some as “honored guests” and send them home, while continuing to detain others. This can cause suspicions and divisions among our opponents. "One time, we planted someone to get kidnapped. A “Nighthunter” disguised as an NGO worker. We had implanted a tracking device in his body. (IMO Using, over the counter “pill” mics if you well and having the “nighthunter” lol swallow it and if you constipaded him, this might work for 48 hours. However imo most kidnapped are moved around i.e. are in continuous transit for the first few days at least, so no valuable intel here. And If you think it was stapled in his anis, I think any so called terrorist organization worth a dam, is going to check that anis cavity, pretty good now days.) During his captivity we learned a lot about our enemies. It was easy to rescue him knowing exactly where he was."

(Reference, COE, rule # 17)

IMO Guerrillas do not kill temporary workers like CNN portrays. Blue collar workers are used to gather information. Relatives kidnapped to make people cooperate, provide support i.e. relatives living overseas are used as fund raisers or their family members in the old country are killed.
In Ireland against the I.R.A. operatives gathered information with a laundry service, worked two ways, first by chatting to the housewives who provided the mounds of soiled clothes and second by allowing for forensic examination. Also laundry mats, using sensors in ducking to detect traces of explosives or collect other DNA evidence. RFIDs, real Id ACT. Serial numbers of dollars are recorded at ATMs, then at point of any purchases i.e. at stores too, by recording of the stores bank deposits, if nothing else.

Reported by weekly standard 1/30/09 concerning victims of US UAV missile strikes in FATA. U.S. Army issued payments to families of those killed, including the Taliban commander. The Associated Press reports: On the back of an Afghan army truck, U.S. officials paid $40,000 in Afghan currency to representatives of 15 people killed - $2,500 for each death plus $500 for two wounded and $1,500 for repairs. Lt. Col. Steven Weir, a military lawyer who oversaw the payments, said payments were not an admission that innocents were killed, "It's a condolence payment,". "The villagers said none of the KIA were Taliban. So by this payment they will understand it's not our goal to kill innocent people. This may help them understand we're here to build a safer and more secure Afghanistan." When asked if the U.S. was paying money to relatives of people that the U.S. had wanted to kill, Weir said: "If we did accidentally shoot someone, we want to make that right, and if we have to pay money to someone who didn't deserve it ... it's kind of like it's better to let nine guilty people go free than to jail one innocent person." But didn't the Taliban commander "deserve it"? This kind of logic gets U.S. troops killed. The money given to the Taliban commander's family will be funneled back into the Taliban coffers -in fact, the odds are the Taliban will move back into the town and collect all of the money disbursed.

Statement by Michael Asher an SAS member, living with a nomadic tribe in the Sahara. This tribe valued nothing so much as courage and endurance they were a stern rugged people who had survived for centuries where survival was only just possible. These nomads lived by a code as strict as anything I had known in the SAS. A man must defend his traveling companions until death. He must offer hospitality to complete strangers and guard them with his life while they dwelt in his tent. He must share every last drop of water and every last piece of food. He must take upon himself the sacred duty of revenge especially for an affront to the honor of his tribe. These people had no outlets for their violence as we had had in the army. I realized there were no fist-fights to determine pecking order, no milling. Fist fights are after all a kind of game played to a set of conventions. These nomads did not know how to make a fist; they carried daggers and were not slow to use them. Every fight was a fight to the death. To them, war was a limited affair, a skirmish in which one or two people were killed and honor was satisfied, in a fight to defend your life, wife, land or livestock. These were things a man could fight for. I thought there was no shame in being a warrior, it had been and honorable profession since the dawn of time. However our society had become so huge and complex that you were fighting not for things that really mattered but for abstract concepts or merely a police action. It was then that I learned my final lesson, fight, but do not fight another man’s war. These nomads had few of the illusions of so called civilization. They did not as Carl Gustav Jung said, “believe in the welfare state, in universal peace, in the equality of man, in his eternal human rights, in justice, truth or the kingdom of god on earth”. There struggle for existence over the millennia had taught them the sad truth. Mans life, is a complex of inexorable (relentless) opposites day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. They are not sure, even that one will prevail against the other, or that good will avenge evil or joy defeat pain. Life is a battle ground. It always has been and it always well be. If it were not so, existence would come to and end. The ability of people to dehumanize anyone outside their own tribe is the sole cause of war. It is also paradoxically the reason for human survival. The world exists in harmony, but everywhere nature is in conflict tooth and claw. Conflict is what gives nature its structure. Adversity like love, makes you a person, it defines you and gives you an identity. Identity not food or land is what the fighting is really about. The enemy is what makes you yourself. Without the enemy you are nothing.

Churchill on the FATA tribesmen; They, when they fight among themselves, bear little malice, and the combatants not infrequently make friends over the corpses of their comrades or suspend operations for a festival or a horse race. At the end of the contest cordial relations are at once re-established. And yet so full of contradictions is their character, that all this is without prejudice to what has been written of their family vendettas and private blood feuds. Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honor so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. I have been told that if a white man could grasp it fully, and were to understand their mental impulses -- if he knew, when it was their honor to stand by him, and when it was their honor to betray him; when they were bound to protect and when to kill him--he might, by judging his times and opportunities, pass safely from one end of the mountains to the other. But a civilized European is as little able to accomplish this, as to appreciate the feelings of those strange creatures, which, when a drop of water is examined under a microscope, are revealed amiably gobbling each other up, and being themselves complacently devoured.

Types of campaigns; Demonstrative: Tactics, boycotts, hunger strikes, hostage taking, warnings announced in advance of attacks, avoids undermining sympathy. Lots of property damage. Many watching, not dieing. It is as much political theater as violent. Goals include, attention to grievances, gaining publicity for recruitment, support from sympathizers on the other side, 3rd parties. Examples of groups using this method. Orange volunteers of N. Ireland, National liberation army of (Colombia) Red brigades of (Italy). Destructive: AKA Robin Hood. Tactics, Selective killings, balance between fear and sympathy. Ex; killing only the rich or certain group. May under take Suicidal missions for vital reason. Suicide missions vs. suicide attack. Suicide mission, attempted even though the odds are greatly against success. Plan also includes some attempt to survive and or escape. Suicide Campaigns: aka the art of martyrdom. Tactics, all out, no concern for saving sympathy. Pros: suggest no threat can deter. Suicide attacker deliberately orchestrates the circumstances around death to further increase expectations of future attacks. Can also make last minute adjustments, one attacker allowed himself to be run over to place bomb in the correct location. No escape plan or rescue necessary. Secondary task Ex; information gathering immediately before attack. SP Most of them have come from the Meshud tribe in Waziristan. Here, a small group of Meshud tribesmen have been recruiting suicide bombers. The Meshudi terrorists claim they can take a volunteer and train and equip them for a suicide bomb attack in six hours. This follows the pattern in Iraq, were a few terrorist cells produced most of the suicide bombers.


Recruitment of Assets, with suicide bombers Head hunters look for those sympathetic to group’s cause, loners who have little future. Uneducated little chance of mirage, people who are not good looking, homosexuals, out case, minimum family ties. Families can be large or small, poor or rich. Especially those who have lost love ones. People living away from home. Passive outlook, sights air of resignation, quietness lack of interest, communication or appetite. With people in general first work on weak then those less frequently aroused more stable. Use verity of approaches, lines of persuasion. Consequently there’s a better chance of hitting on common ground. Always carry cigarettes and lighter. Ideas of others must be respected stress accord and a sincere approval of ones values. Avoid dogmatisms and minor disagreements, people like to win, keep larger picture in mind. Gain report by showing interest in there tools and skills. You might comment on how hard they work. What a difficult job it was. People hear and incorporate only what they understand. Never promise them anything unless you can deliver. Person is isolated and alienated then just as they can't take it anymore, the planned/chance meeting in public. Every thing said at first meeting/appearance has to be provable or true. You could, use the old confession in second meeting “I was not sure about you, so I lied, you understand” Etc. The pitch a slow methodical mine game. High ranking respected member embraces recruit in public. Make them feel important needed, recruit told of his /her talents virtues that pertain to mission/group, such as loyalty to the group, not individual thoughts. To control others you must firsts ID what they see as reward, then control reward based on performance. To ID reward consider all possibilities, especially those they may not be aware of. Greed, punishment, intimidation, peace, health, acceptance, approval, companionship, fulfillment, love, physical power, praise, morality, righteousness- (appealing to there sense of right and wrong), spiritual, sexuality, income. Watchers do back ground cheeks, looking for leads to other groups. Recruits first used as support so more can be learned about them there family and past. Suspicious activity sleepy, overly observant/nosy, regularly injured. Black men do not stand out as being resent arrival from north or south. When there is a spy suspected within camp, have Marines retire to tents. Spies well have nowhere to go. The buddy system to prevent spy within units, Marines are teamed up. They are always together. Allow Marines to pick first partner, spies may team up. Then commander chooses alternates. Final recruitment step, person is placed on short list. Sleepers AKA pathfinders if they act as support for other units. Sleepers cannot be left alone indefinitely. However long term relationships with Handlers, to reaffirm reliability are difficult to maintain with out arousing rival suspicions.

Motives; coercion two choices, punishment or denial. Altruistic - Have a sense of duty for majority. Appeal for public approval. Often a public act. EX; Jihadist. Egoistic – Mostly by individuals. 15/20% leave notes usually for family, 80% male, 60% suffer from depression, have been recently hospitalized, 30% severe physical terminal illness, 25% alcoholics or drug users. Confronts issues alone, usually a private act. Psychological trauma leads to isolation from society. Seen as typical crazies, ordinary case public disapproves. Fatalistic – Doomsday beliefs often have been brainwashed. Members of a strictly controlled group or organization. Suicide packs, timing often coincides with and imminent threat of intrusion by outsiders. Public misunderstands. Ex; cults, mostly if not all are Christians. Characterized by bizarre and eccentric practices. Marked as members, tattoos or even castration. Vows of silence. Polygamy, public confessions, communal punishment. The structure of Heaven's Gate resembled that of a Medieval Monastic order. Group members gave up their material possessions and lived a highly ascetic life devoid of any indulgences. Everything was shared communally. Six of the male members of the cult voluntarily underwent castration as an extreme means of maintaining the ascetic lifestyle. Heavens gate. Leader Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. Located in a house on a ranch in Sante Fe near San Diego. Suicide act on March 26 1997. Deaths #39. Other examples, Jim Jones people’s temple. In Jonestown Guyana. Leader Jim Jones. Group drank cyanide laced Kool-Aid. On Nov. 18 1978 Deaths # 900. Branch Davidians. At Waco Texas. Leader David Koresh. Burned to death, on April 19 1993, Deaths # 76.  The order of the solar temple. At locations in Switzerland and Quebec. On Oct. 1994, Dec. 1995, and March? 1997. Death total #74. Movement for the restoration for the ten commandments of god, A Ugandan doomsday cult. Sang hymns, doused themselves with gas, and set themselves on fire. On March 18, 2000. Deaths # 230.


Study by Shin bet the Israeli version of the FBI; male suicide bombers tend to be introverts, the women less so. The women are older and better educated than their male counterparts. Out of 67 women recruited for suicide attacks from 2002 to 2005, 33% were college graduates and an additional 39% had finished high school. Males are usually in their late teens to early twenties with little education. Israeli intelligence believes women receive far less training and preparation for their suicide missions than do men. Why do they do it? Some are motivated by the promise of paradise. Other motives are revenge, and to restore family honor. Many women point to private tragedy or shame. Recruiters, who approach them on campus or through internet chat rooms, well make romantic advances that the women fall for. Some see it as preferable to an arranged marriage. Some because fathers refused to let them marry boyfriends. Sumya first martyr (female or city?)
In some cases, organizations have paid rewards of $11,000 to the Pakistani and Afghan families of suicide bombers, many of whom are cancer patients or heroin addicts, according to U.S. military communications intercepts.

During 2000–2004, there were 472 suicide attacks in 22 countries, killing more than 7,000 and wounding tens of thousands. 80 % of suicide attacks since (1968? 1998?) occurred after the September 11 attacks, with jihadis representing 31 of the 35 responsible groups. More suicide attacks occurred in 2004 than in any previous year, and 2005 has proven even more deadly, with attacks in Iraq alone averaging more than one per day. Suicide attacks annualized by decade; 1981-1991 5 attacks, 1991-2000 15 attacks, 2001-2005 180 attacks. Suicide attacks world wide 2001- 2005; 2001 (81), 2002 (91), 2003 (99), 2004 (163) 2005 (460). Also 301 of the 315 attacks prior to 9/11 shown to be part of campaigns for large organizations. Most important is community support for martyrs. Democracies are more vulnerable. Definition of a Democracy, leader and legislature must be elected, there most be more than one party. With at lease one peaceful transfer of power. Ex: US, France, India, Israel, CIS, Sri Lanka, Turkey. They are seen as weak compared to a dictatorship. The Kurdish PKK fighting with Turkey and Iraq is a good example of only Democracies being targeted. The PKK used suicide attacks with Turkey but not Iraq when it was under Saddam. Nine conflicts where suicide attacks were used. When U.S., France and Israel in Lebanon, Israel in west bank and Gaza too. Tamil Tigers fighting in Sir Lanka. Kurds fighting Turkey, CIS in Chechnya, India in Kashmir and Punjab. Nations US maintains combat troops in, and assures there safety. S.A., Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Jordan and Yemen. It is not clear if U.S. would defend Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan no combat troops.

Psychological Operations:

With psychological operations the exact out come is always unpredictable. You can manipulate ones mind like a puppet on a day to day bases. However in the end the ultimate reaction is unpredictable. “Ultimately it dose not mater in the lease what one thinks, only what line of action taken that effects the situation”. Therefore, I believe psyops should only be used in a defensive mode. These notes are merely to make one aware of the tactics used by others. A good rule of thumb is:  once is happen chance, twice coincidence, three times is enemy activity. It is the nature of war that what is beneficial to you is detrimental to the enemy and what is of service to them hurts you. There for never do or omit doing anything as a consequence to others actions, consult your own interest only. You depart from this interest when ever you imitate such measures as he pursues for his benefit.

Basically psyops are concerned with persuading individuals or a group to act favorable to ones interest. Aikido a Japanese martial art that emphasizes centering and blending. You will learn control fallows awareness of self or others. First understand than be under stood, knowing what is in the back of your enemies mind is not always possible, but leaving them no doubt what’s in the back of your mind is. Be aware of your own preconceptions so that they are not exploited. Deception is created by manipulating perceptions. First I.D. bias or crate one. It’s easier to reinforce a perception than to change one. If you know what’s expected or bitter yet hoped for, your deception will be on firm ground. Best to concentrate on ones capabilities not goals. Note: I interpret this last statement as communicating to opponent that it is futile to resist. And then there’s what Nixon said about goals – “one who reveals his intentions can never accomplish his goals”.

Propaganda any form of communication designed to influence attitudes, behaviors, emotions or opinions. Message is the meaning sender seeks to pass on. Means of communication, consider all forms of printed martial, flyers, business cards, posters, billboards. Target must be literate. Motion pictures, with natives’ photo may not translate well. Modern communications, Radio and TV. have no effect if infrastructure and equipment does not exist.
Joke; best weapon the CIA had against the KGB was the VCR. Use rallies, entertainment centers, stage productions, puppets, drawings in the ground, scaled models. Gifts know present and historical meaning of items. Symbols selection based on target analysis in terms of targets view of reality rather than what propagandist views as reality. The target audience interprets message based on previous experiences and learned responses. Therefore it is necessary to understand these experiences. Literal reception is no guarantee of its effect at terminus i.e. it must compete for attention with other events. Each message created with a distinctive purpose in mind. Dialogue terms always towards objective. Repeats themes play to emotions. Language not only dictionary meaning but maze of emotions which it arouses. Message must be believable have some real bases. White propaganda information disseminated in a way that I.D.s the source. Card stacking storing of true facts in your favor. Gray propaganda public information disseminated in way that dose not specifically I.D. source. Inserting distorted facts in presumably unbiased foreign or 3rd party publications. Bandwagon fallow and use audiences’ line of reason. Being reasonable, Plain folks; I like you! Were alike! Know it all advisors have little influence with foreign advisors who frequently are senior and in practical terms have more experience. It takes great tack and persuasive skill for example to change the minds of entrenched auto crafts at any echelon when it comes to political, social, economical or military reforms, that might weaken personal positions or careers. Glittering generalities, big words, esoteric language, lots of Acronyms. No examining arguments. Complexity taking others word for facts, self confidence trusting yourself out of pure adrenalin. “My mine is made up don’t confuse me with the facts”. Name calling apply labels to the target tailored to fit audience example- devil/demon if addressing religious group. Mirror image projecting image of what enemy is saying about you on them. Note, can you ever say anything about someone with out saying more about yourself? Bigger the leak, less information believed. Illusion that person has discovered information by his own hard work or by accident. Black propaganda Facilitates plausible denial. It is disinformation deliberately designed to deceive audience and that conceals I.D. of sources, sponsors and participant’s or I.D.s false ones. Transfer association Target is convinced another respected group, organization or individual agrees with action, idea. Also others within group. Bogus accounts frequently gain credibility through repetitive reception. Making announcement that arrest made with help form informant when it was not. Use whispering campaign indirect approach. Person to person grape vine. Also CIS cheaper to bribe judge than university deans. Forbidden means expensive. Most corrupt systems in order, police 40 %, Judicial 15%, ministry and polities’ civil serves 20%, Banking 7%.

Types of personalities;

Take far more than 50% of the blame when something goes wrong. Judge your self harshly have low self esteem. Believe you must earn the right to enjoy life. (Drama Queen) become addicted to excitement and emotional pain. Excitement of unstable relationship may counter a tendency towards depression. This also shifts attention from you. More aware of the dream of how relationship might be than reality. Lost ability to show emotions and feelings reactors rather than actors. Solution; love yourself accept process of change i.e. growth. Don’t try to change others. Be aware of your attitudes and feelings about each aspect of your life. Learn to be open and trust appropriate people. With relationships ask yourself dose this person enable me to grow. Let go of destructive ones without feeling bad. Rely on friends and strengths value your serenity. Be proactive/actor not reactor.
Rescuers; give help when not asked. Neglect to find out if offer is welcomed, gives more help than ask for or needed. Omit ignore feedback. Don’t check results. Feel good when accepted and very dad when turned down. Do most of talking or work often exceeds goals. Hard for you to take time for yourself. Supplies words for others when they hesitate, interrupts a lot. Makes excuses for other people. Feel others are not grateful enough or can’t get along with out you. Assume you have others consent. To control one most protect or enhance their self-esteem. What’s in it for me! Prefer to talk about their self. What’s important to them. Wait to talk don’t lesson. Solution; become helper, lesson for request then present offer, give only what is needed.

Placater; words agrees placates example; whatever just here to help you and others, always pleasant actions and words. Apologizes for every thing. You owe everyone something. You take responsibility for everything mostly negative events. Aggress with any criticism with out reasoning. Would not think of asking for something for yourself. Feel you well get things if you deserve them. Problem; I don’t exist. Solution; focus on pleasing yourself. Don’t except criticism readily, don’t feel responsible for everything.
Second possible series;
Computer; problem feeling of being vulnerable and weak wants to think away things. Words ultra reasonable example; if you would only look carefully. Always calm cool collective.

Blamers; words disagrees blames, “you never do anything right, what is wrong with you”. “I am boss around here”. “If it weren’t for you everything would be okay”. Problem lonely unsuccessful, you are a fault finder, dictator, acts superior, starts statements with never or why don’t. Does not entertain answers. More interested in throwing weight around than finding out the real truth. Feel others must obey, if you are to feel good. Solution; putting others down only pumps you up for a minute. Use sincere praise and complements, respect and curtsey. There is a difference between Blame and being accountable as in responsible; to deserve blame, you must of intended actions to equal consequences. Accountable i.e. responsibility simply means you are in control, accountable or responsible doesn’t imply intent or recklessness. It says only that you did or allowed to be done. What led to the out come. Example; ruff housing you break chair this equals recklessness, responsible for damage, can be blamed. Set on and break a chair equals responsible for damage but you can’t be blamed. However you are still responsible. This example according to author dose not apply to children, or rape victims.
Distracters; words irrelevant purpose is to distract your off somewhere else your actions and words are not related and or to others actions and words. Don’t respond to the point. No focus, don’t know where you’re going or have been nor when you get there. Feels lonely there’s no place for you, breakneck speed very important. I’ve made up my mind don’t confuse me with the facts. Not always right but never in doubt. Solution; slow down focus on objective. Face real feelings, build self-esteem. Consider the dangers of denial, you fail to see what is, or as you are resisting you fail to test hypotheses. Subsequently things that are otherwise sound and logical can lead to wrong conclusions. Can lead to paralysis.

The internal monologue is the most active and consistent dialogue we have. Most important daily choices are your attitude, personality, style. Choices have results that accumulate two define your experiences. When you choose behavior you chose consequences. Why people do and don’t do things, you do things because at some level it works, at some level the unwonted behavior serves a purpose.
Beliefs must be questioned. Recognize the competing agendas. Try to ID and see blind spots. North star positive monologue. You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. You can start behaving in positive ways to have what you wont and or stop behaving in ways that interfere. Example; over eating.
