ATP 3-05.1 Unconventional Warfare, September 2013
ATP 3-05.1, Unconventional Warfare, is the Army’s doctrinal foundation for UW and is the broadest and most comprehensive United States Government (USG) doctrinal publication on the subject of UW. ATP 3-05.1 therefore provides doctrine directly useful to all users within the U.S. Army, but is deliberately intended to be useful to other Services in the Department of Defense (DOD) and joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational (JIIM) audiences. Moreover, although UW is inherently a sensitive subject, ATP 3-05.1 is intentionally kept unclassified to make it accessible to civilian policy makers with a role in oversight and support of UW activities. ATP 3-05.1 is written to emphasize the strategic and operational utility of UW as a policy option available to national-level and theater-level decision makers. The ATP is therefore written for planners at the TSOC and SF group level who would be charged with recommending and planning strategic and operational options to geographic combatant commanders (GCCs), Ambassadors, and interagency decision makers at all levels of the USG. ATP 3-05.1 contains five chapters and six appendices that are summarized in the following paragraphs.
