Q

What are the 4 levels of warfare?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. National Strategic
  2. Theater Strategic
  3. Operational
  4. Tactical
19
Q

The levels of warfare are a framework for what?

Study These Flashcards
A

Defining and clarifying the relationship among national objectives, the operational approach, and tactical tasks.

20
Q

The levels of warfare distinguish what 4 broad overlapping activities?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Providing national direction and creating national strategy (national strategic)
  2. conducting continuous theater campaigning (theater strategic)
  3. planning and conducting campaigns and major operations (operational)
  4. planning and executing operations, battles, engagements, and actions (tactical)
21
Q

Can a commander act at more than one level of war (e.g.- formulate theater strategy and design the campaign plan)?

22
Q

Are the levels of warfare finite with defined boundaries?

Study These Flashcards
A

No. Operational art exists precisely because there is no clean seam between levels; it “bridges” strategy and tactics by translating strategic objectives into executable operations.

23
Q

At what level of warfare does the U.S. government formulate policy?

Study These Flashcards
A

National Strategic

24
Q

At what level of warfare does CCDRs synchronize with unified action partners and employ all elements of national power to fulfill policy aims within the assigned theater?

Doctrinally, they exist to increase interoperability, flexibility, and efficiency in sustainment. They typically cover common sustainment commodities and services, such as: • Food, water, and billeting • Fuel and lubricants • Transportation and lift • Maintenance and repair services • Medical support • Construction and engineering services
31
What is the total quantity of logistical support available to a maneuver force, and is considered a critical determinant of operational success?
Magazine depth
32
What is the Strategic Support Area?
The strategic support area describes the area extending from the continental United States (CONUS) base into a GCC’s AOR. Defines the national base from which a nation’s resources and economy is integrated into the military instrument of power.
33
What is the National Industrial Base? (SMILETT)
National Industrial Base (NIB): The total U.S. economic and industrial capacity—public and private—capable of supporting national power in peace and war. It includes all sectors: energy, transportation, technology, manufacturing, labor, infrastructure, and services. Relationship: NIB = Whole national economy and production capacity. DIB = The portion of that economy dedicated to defense.
34
What is the Army Industrial Base?
The Organic Industrial Base (OIB). Comprised of government-owned industrial facilities that are overseen by the DoD. Operates within and contributes to the larger, more diverse, privately and publicly supported defense industrial base.
35
What is the Defense Industrial Base?
The network of public and private sector organizations, facilities, and supply chains that... research, design, develop, produce, repair, and distribute materiel, munitions, platforms, and services required to equip and sustain the force.
36
Who leverages the defense industrial base to fortify national security and ensure uninterrupted supply chain support for military services, combatant commands, and allied nations?
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
37
What is contested logistics?
An environment in which the armed forces engage in conflict with an adversary who targets logistics operations, facilities, and support activities in all domains, including in the United States, abroad, or in transit from one location to another
38
Sustainment determines the — and — of Army operations and gives the commander — and — during MDO.
Depth and endurance Agility and convergence
39
What does Army sustainment ensure?
That resources are available to complete the mission.
