  use their organic weapons systems for self-defenseagainst enemy air threats. When available air and missile
  defense protects the BCT from missile attack,air attack,and aerial surveillance by ballistic missiles,cruise
  missiles,conventional fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft,and UASs. Air and missile defense preventthe enemy
  from interdicting friendly forces,while freeing the commander to synchronize movementand firepower. (See
  ATP 3-01.8 for additional information.)
  7-75. Indirect-fire protection systems protect the BCT from threats that are largely immune to air defense
  artillery systems. The indirect-fire protection intercept capability is designed to detect and destroy incoming
  rocket, artillery, and mortar fires. This capability assesses the threat to maintain friendly protection and
  destroys the incoming projectile at a safe distance from the intended target. The air and missile defense task
  consistof active and passive measures that protect the BCT from an air or missile attack. Passive measures
  include camouflage, cover, concealment, hardening, and operations security. Active measures are taken to
  destroy, neutralize, or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air and missile threats. The early warning of
  in-bound missile threats is provided in theater by the globally located, joint tactical ground stations. (See
  ADP 3-37 and ATP 3-09.42 for additional information.)
  7-76. As stated in chapter 3, protection cell planners coordinate with the ADAM cell for air and missile
  defense for the protection of the critical asset list and defended asset list and for other air and missile defense
  protection as required. There is continuous coordination to refine the critical asset list and defended asset list
  throughout defensive and offensive operations,ensuring the protection of critical assets and forces from air
  and missile attack and surveillance. Air and missile defense assets integrate protective systems by using the
  six employment guidelines—mutual support, overlapping fires, balanced fires, weighted coverage, early
  engagement,and defense in-depth—and additional considerations necessary to mass and mix air and missile
  defense capabilities. (SeeATP 3-01.50 for additional information.)
  7-77. Military police planners, based upon the mission variables of mission, enemy, terrain and weather,
  troops and support available, time available, and civil considerations (METT-TC),identify requirements for
  military police support and augmentation. The BCT provost marshal and military police staff planners at
  division level coordinate military police activities and provide for the integration of military police focused
  considerations throughout the operations process. Military police operations require the use of military police
  specific technical skill sets to plan, manage, and execute the military police-specific disciplines. Liaisons
  may be needed in certain situations to ensure proper and completestaff planning. (SeeFM3-39 for additional
  information.) During the defense,military police planners must—
  (cid:122) Understand the IPB, commander’s critical information requirements (CCIRs), and priority
  intelligence requirements to facilitate the integration of police intelligence activities within all
  military police operations to support those requirements.
  (cid:122) Consider the type and size of the area of responsibility(AOR),line of communications security,
  and the threat and plan for detainee operations and dislocated civilians to determine how their
  presence may affect maneuver forces.
  (cid:122) Anticipate operational changes or transitions and prepare the military police effort toward that
  action.
  7-78. In the defense,attached military police forces ensure movement of repositioning or counterattacking
  forces and provide and support the evacuation of captured or detained individuals. Military police missions
  provide freedom of movement for repositioning BCT forces and the reserve when it is committed. The
  mission variables of METT-TC determine priority of movement along main supply routes. Additional
  military police force activities include protection support tocommand posts (CPs),communications facilities,
  convoys,supply sites,support areas,and consolidation areas. Examples of expected missions include—
  (cid:122) Conduct detention operations.
  (cid:122) Establish a movement corridor.
  (cid:122) Conduct convoy escorts.
  (cid:122) Conduct response force operations.
  (cid:122) Conduct lines of communications security.
  (cid:122) Provide military working dog support (see ATP 3-39.34).
  (cid:122) Support to support area (see FM 3-81) and consolidation area (see chapter 2) operations.
