Rethinking Combat Identification. Joint Center for Lessons Learned Quarterly Bulletin. Volume 4, Issue 3, June 2002
Abstract
Combat identification and fratricide avoidance are two key elements of an effective warfighting campaign. Through the efforts of organizations like the Joint Combat Identification Evaluation Team (JCIET), great strides are being made to ensure friendly forces are identified and fratricide is minimized during battle. This Joint Center for Lessons Learned (JCLL) Bulletin is focused on the current status of these critical programs. In the first article, Joint Combat Identification Evaluation Team (JCIET), the current status of JCIET, its primary and secondary missions, and an overview of the JCIET 2002 exercise are discussed. Our second article is a paper written for the Joint Forces Staff College entitled, New Approach Required for an Old Problem: Rethinking Combat Identification. A team of three students from different Services takes a close look at the area of combat identification, and then provides some recommendations on how to address the problem. The third article is from the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) and provides a historical overview of the problem of fratricide, discusses causes and effects of fratricide, and provides several examples from previous combat operations. The Federal Bureau of Investigation: A Military Perspective is the second in a series of three articles on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In this segment, Mr. Runnals presents an overview of the responsibilities of the military liaison officer (LNO) detailed to the Bureau. Working for the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC), the LNO is the primary interface between the Department of Defense and the FBI. The final article is a fact sheet summary written by Mr. Phil Kearley, head of the USJFCOM J9, Joint Experimentation Interagency Working Group, titled Improving U.S. Interagency (IA) Operational Planning and Coordination.
