Tactical Electronic Warfare
Electronic warfare (EW) is the use of the electromagnetic spectrum to deny its effective use by an adversary while optimizing its use by friendly forces. Electronic warfare has three main components: electronic support, electronic attack, and electronic protection.
This fully illustrated publication contains EW doctrine, appropriate to corps, division, independent brigade group and brigade, covering all operations of war in a high intensity conflict.
This military issue Tactical Electronic Warfare guide will:
Provide guidance for the employment of EW elements in land operations
Cover the EW process and the staff responsibilities for the employment of EW elements offensively
Cover the threat to our electronic systems and the staff responsibilities for the employment of EW elements defensively
Teach organizations and tactics.
