FOREWORD

1. B-GL-383-002/PS-002 Battle Task Standards Volume 2 is issued on the authority of the Chief of the Land Staff.

2. This publication is effective upon receipt and supersedes the entire B-GL-383-002 series Battle Task Standards (less Medical and Military Police).

3. The French version of this publication is B-GL-383-002/PS-005 Les Normes d’Aptitude au Combat.

4. Suggested amendments should be forwarded through normal channels to the Directorate of Army Training (DAT) of the Land Force Doctrine and Training System (LFDTS).

5. Unless otherwise noted, masculine pronouns contained herein refer to both genders.

6. This publication will be only available electronically. It can be found at the following sites: http://lfdts.army.mil.ca/ael/publications.asp on the Defence Information Network (DIN) or at http://www.armyapp.dnd.ca/ael/Default.asp on the World Wide Web.

7. This publication is intended to be read in conjunction with B-GL-383-002/PS-001, Volume 1—Use of BTS, and B-GL-383-002/PS-003 Volume 3—BTS Resource Template Staff Planning Tool.

8. The following statement establishes the basic condition applicable to all BTS:

Operations (including tasks) will occur by day or night and possibly under NBC conditions. Civilians, government organizations, non-government organizations, private voluntary organizations, and the press could be present in the area of operations. The Law of Armed Conflict and the Soldiers’ Code of Conduct apply in all cases. Rules of Engagement will be given for all training events. Additional conditions may be imposed for the purposes of theatre-mission specific training, but the imposition of additional conditions should not alter the necessary conditions stated in the ‘given’ or ‘denied’ sub-paragraphs.

9. The contents of the Conditions paragraph merely provide amplifying conditions to this generic statement of conditions. The conditions, however, are also provided in terms of the Force Training Scenario (FTS).

10. It is intended that this be a ‘living’ document updated IAW CF directed requirements and the Land Force Capability Release Methodology.

11. Medical and Military Police BTS may be added to this volume in the near future pending the results of discussions with CFMG and CFPM.

12. Published on the authority of the Chief of the Land Staff by the Army Publishing Office, Fort Frontenac, Kingston, Ontario.

CROWD CONFRONTATION OPERATIONS

Reference: B-GJ-005-307/FP-090 Crowd Confrontation Operations.

1. This chapter covers the collective training BTS for Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) Crowd Confrontation Operations (CCO). The doctrine for the operational and tactical response to CCOs situations is detailed in ref, supported by other key documents as listed in the publications. This authority deals with the multidimensional and joint concept for CCOs based on recent experience. It provides the tool to train and equip deployed forces to successfully (influence crowd confrontations) control and disengage themselves from crowd confrontation situations without having to resort to the use of deadly force. CCO is envisaged as being applicable across the spectrum of conflict and throughout the continuum of operations however it is likely that authority will limit CF missions to monitoring, avoidance and disengagement scenarios. Only in extreme circumstances where no law enforcement agency was available would higher-level sub-sets be authorised.

2. Ref Section 4 Para 14 details the existing restrictions that constrain operational and tactical commanders in their response to a CCO situation, where only force protection measure using the minimum force necessary to ensure mission success are authorised. These BTS are pre-requisites for units undertaking Theatre and Mission Specific Training (T&MST) where political clearance has been granted for specific TTP (Tactics, Training and Procedures) that will bring CF units into direct confrontation with crowds. The primary focus of CCO operations remains the non-confrontation CCO aspects and conventional military support to the appropriate Law Enforcement Agency (LEA).

3. In the context of this doctrine these BTS will aim to specify repeatable and achievable scenarios across the range of capabilities specified within ref A however the intent is to ensure that an element can conduct CCO without escalating the level of violence. Whilst conducting a specific BTS an element can resort to less confrontational techniques such as avoidance and even disengagement actions if it believes this will prevent unnecessary escalation of the situation.

4. Allowing a Crowd Confrontation situation to escalate in violence, attributable to CF actions, is likely to strategically threaten the chances of mission success and therefore in this specific and unique style of operation the tactical, graduated response to crowd confrontation situations is caveated with the requirement to prevent escalation of a situation which in itself could cause a strategic mission failure.

5. BTS Monitor Crowds must be a pre-requisite to the Control Crowd task. Monitoring ands command and control requirements must be available to a comd before he can be expected to demonstrate the ability to control, redirect, avoid or disengage with crowd activity.

CHAPTER 5 ENGINEERS

1. The Force Employment Concept for Engineers is in the process of changing to a ‘plug and play’ system based on the work required as follows:

a. At Level Two, the BTS are specific to particular organizational types; and

b. At Level Three and higher, the tasks become increasingly generic and cover a range of specific tasks.

2. Due to the nature of engineer work, a number of different organizations can be called upon to perform a task. For the purposes of the BTS, the following relationships may exist:

a. Combat Engineers may include one or more of the following:

(1) Armoured Engineers,

(2) Field Engineers,

(3) Equipment, and

(4) Resources.

b. Engineer Support may include:

(1) Water Supply,

(2) Equipment,

(3) Resources, and

(4) Construction.

3. There are a number of cases where particular BTS are common to more than one level of a particular type of Engineer element.

4. [Secretarial Note: BTS E32323223S EXECUTE BREACH OF MINEFIELD WITH EXPLOSIVES has not been included due to the current capability gap.]

5. For the secondary role of Engineers, the Dismounted Infantry – Rifle and Infantry – Common BTS apply.

CHAPTER 7 INFANTRY

1. There are three basic types of infantry as follows:

a. ‘Dismounted’ – Dismounted infantry skills are the core of the Infantry’s profession and as such, are applicable to all infantry, regardless of type or function.

b. ‘Mechanized’ – These BTS are applicable to infantry mounted in APCs such as the LAV III.

c. ‘Light’ – These BTS are applicable to specifically designated Light Infantry Battalions and focus largely on specific types of mobility, i.e. airmobile or parachute.

2. Each of these types of Infantry can be broken down further into subsets, which include Common to all Infantry, Rifle, or Recce. In the case of Recce, these BTS apply to all Recce Platoons less the specifically Light Infantry Recce BTS identified within.

3. As a result, a complete series of BTS for the Infantry appears as follows:

CHAPTER 12 PSYOPS

1. This chapter is based on the Canadian Forces doctrine for PSYOPS. Subject doctrine is currently a ratification draft. This chapter has sought to incorporate the concept of Effects Based Operations into the BTS.

2. The PSYOPS capability is currently based on three organizations:

a. Tactical PSYOPS Development Detachment (TPDD). These focus on the planning and development of PSYOPS effects.

b. Tactical PSYOPS Detachment (TPD). These focus on the development and dissemination of PSYOPS products to generate PSYOPS effects. The Army Common BTS EXECUTE BATTLE PROCEDURE applies to these organizations as opposed to the BTS PLAN PSYOPS EFFECTS.

c. Tactical PSYOPS Team (TPT). These focus on the development and dissemination of PSYOPS products to generate PSYOPS effects. The Army Common BTS EXECUTE BATTLE PROCEDURE applies to these organizations as opposed to the BTS PLAN PSYOPS EFFECTS.

3. PSYOPS, like other capabilities, will be task-tailored for operations.

4. PSYOPS BTS are to be trained in either a warfighting scenario or Operations Other Than War (less DOMOPS). It is only with Government of Canada assent that PSYOPS are conducted in DOMOPS, and as a result, they will not be trained in that context.

GLOSSARY

1. Military administration includes logistics and personnel administration. Logistics is the science of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces. Personnel administration comprises those activities, which contribute to the moral cohesion of our forces through effective personnel management, personnel services and health support services.

2. CASEVAC is defined as the movement of casualties to initial treatment facilities and/or to medical facilities in the combat zone. It does not include en route care by medical personnel. CASEVAC should only be utilized when a unit has a large number of casualties (i.e. when the number of casualties exceeds the ability of the MEDEVAC helicopters) or when MEDEVAC helicopters are not available. CASEVAC helicopters are not protected under the Geneva Convention and are not permitted to mount the Red Cross. They may be fired upon as hostile aircraft.

3. C2IS – Command and Control Information Systems

4. Language Assistant – this term replaces ‘Interpreter’ as it describes the full range of duties, such as interpretation, translation and the provision of cultural background / context.

5. MEDEVAC is defined as the timely, efficient movement and en route care by medical personnel of wounded and injured personnel from the battlefield and other locations to medical treatment facilities (i.e. hospitals). MEDEVAC assets are permitted to mount the Red Cross and are protected under the Geneva Convention, Law of Armed Conflict. No MEDEVAC helicopters are permitted to transport troops, combat supplies or act in support of a combat operation not directly attributed to the provision of medical services

6. Reorganization is part of the reconstitution process. It is the normal activity of assessing the number of personnel and equipment casualties and the level of combat supplies, especially ammunition, and making adjustment to internal organizations in preparation for the next combat activity.

7. IAW AAP-6, NATO Glossary of Terms and Definitions, the term ‘Supported Commander’ will be used with the definition of: “A comd having primary responsibility for all aspects of a task assigned by a higher NATO military authority and who receives forces or other support from one or more supporting commanders”.
