Force Protection
Principles of Military Operations Other Than War
• Objective: Unity Of Effort
• Security Restraint
• Perseverance Legitimacy
Objective
• Direct every military operation toward a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective.
• JFCs should therefore, translate their political guidance into appropriate military objectives through a rigorous and continuous mission and threat analysis.
Unity of Effort
• Seek unity of effort in every operation.
• This principle emphasizes the need for ensuring all means are directed to a common purpose.
• This requires that JFCs, or other designated directors of the operation, rely heavily on consensus building to achieve unity of effort.
Security
• Never permit hostile factions to acquire a military, political, or informational advantage.
• JFCs should avoid complacency and be ready to counter activity that could bring harm to units or jeopardize the operation.
• Security may also involve the protection of civilians or participating agencies and organizations.
Restraint
• Apply appropriate military capability prudently.
• Restraint requires the careful balancing of the need for security, the conduct of operations, and the political objective.
• Excessive force antagonizes those parties involved, thereby damaging the legitimacy of the organization that uses it while possibly enhancing the legitimacy of the opposing party.
Perseverance
• Prepare for the measured, protracted application of military capability in support of strategic aims.
• Some MOOTW may require years to achieve the desired results.
• Often, the patient, resolute, and persistent pursuit of national goals and objectives, for as long as necessary to achieve them, is a requirement for success.
Legitimacy
• Committed forces must sustain the legitimacy of the operation and of the host government, where applicable.
• Legitimacy is a condition based on the perception by a specific audience of the legality, morality, or rightness of a set of actions.
• If an operation is perceived as legitimate, there is a strong impulse to support the action.
Military Tactics
PQS Question 105.3: Describe the function of the Liaison Officer (LNO) within the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) environment.
Reference: FMFM 13, Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Engineer Operations
Liaison Officer
• Designation of a liaison officer is the most commonly employed technique for establishing and maintaining close, continuous contact between commands.
• Use of a single individual with the proper rank and experience conserves manpower while it guarantees contact.
• A liaison officer will normally remain at the supported headquarters until recalled to the parent command.
Liaison Officer
• Duties and Responsibilities:
– Monitor. The liaison element’s first task is to observe the operations of the assigned unit.
– Advise. The liaison element advises both the supporting and supported unit commanders.
– Coordinate. The liaison element coordinates and assists the flow of information between organizations.

PQS Question 105.4: Describe the key elements to be considered in the selection of a landing zone.
Reference: NAVEDTRA 12004, Seabee Combat Handbook, Volume 2
Landing Zone
Key elements for selecting a landing zone.
– What type of helicopters will be using the landing zone.
– The position of your unit in regards to the enemy
– Time it will take to prepare the landing zone.
– Equipment needed to prepare the landing zone.
Landing Zone
• Approaches and Exits– Must be free of major obstacles that might obstruct
landing or takeoffs, such as tall trees, telephone poles, or power lines.
• Ground Obstacles– Obstacles such as stumps or rocks, should not exceed
1 foot in height on level ground and should be less on sloping ground.
Landing Zone
• Gradient (Slopes)– Ground slope has a considerable effect on selecting a
landing site or landing point within the LZ. A helicopter cannot land safely in locations where the ground slopes more than 14 degrees.
• Surface Conditions– Mud, excessive dust, and loose debris are considered
undesirable surface conditions for helicopters.
