text: Synchronize and Coordinate Protection
  * Coordinate AMD. AMD protects the force from manned and unmanned aerial attacks and enemy
  aerial surveillance. Coordinating AMD support protects friendly forces from the effects of
  threatening ballistic missiles; cruise missiles; and fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft
  systems. It enables the freedom of action commanders to require synchronized maneuver and
  protects critical capabilities from interdiction. See FM 3-01 for additional information on AMD.
  * Conduct personnel recovery. Army personnel recovery refers to the military efforts taken to
  prepare for and execute the recovery and reintegration of isolated personnel (FM 3-50). Personnel
  recovery is the overarching term for operations that focus on recovering isolated personnel before
  captivity. See FM 3-50 for additional information on personnel recovery.
  * Conduct detention operations. Detention involves the detainment of a population or group that
  poses some level of threat to military operations. Detention operations are conducted by military
  police to shelter, sustain, guard, protect, and account for populations (detainees or U.S. military
  prisoners [U.S. military personnel ordered to confinement]) as a result of military or civil conflict
  or to facilitate criminal prosecution. Detention operations are essential to setting the conditions for
  consolidation of gains during large-scale combat. They lessen enemy capability to prolong a
  conflict through protracted resistance by irregular forces. See FM 3-63 for additional information
  detention operations.
  * Conduct risk management. Risk management is the process to identify, assess, and control risks
  and make decisions that balance risk cost with mission benefits (JP 3-0). The Army uses risk
  management to help maintain combat power while ensuring mission accomplishment during
  current and future operations. It is the Army process for helping organizations and individuals
  make informed decisions to reduce or offset risk. Risk management applies to operations and to
  nonoperational activities. Using this process increases operational effectiveness and the
  probability of mission accomplishment. It is a systematic way of identifying hazards, assessing
  them, and managing the associated risks. Commanders, staffs, Army leaders, Soldiers, and DA
  Civilians integrate risk management into planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations.
  See ATP 5-19 for additional information on risk management.
  * Implement physical security procedures. Physical security consists of physical measures that
  are designed to safeguard personnel and to prevent unauthorized access to equipment,
  installations, material, and documents and safeguard them against espionage, sabotage, damage,
  theft, and terrorism. The Army employs physical security measures in depth to protect personnel,
  information, and critical resources in all locations and situations against various threats through
  effective security policies and procedures. See ATP 3-39.32 for additional information on physical
  security.
  * Apply AT measures. AT consists of proactive defensive measures used to deter, detect, delay,
  deny, and defend individuals and property against terrorist acts. These measures include limited
  response and containment by security forces. AT measures are required to be incorporated into all
  military operations. See ATP 3-37.2 for additional information on AT.
  * Conduct police operations. Police operations encompass policing and the associated law
  enforcement activities to control and protect populations and resources and to facilitate the
  existence of a lawful and orderly environment. Police operations and the associated skills and
  capabilities inherent in that function provide the fundamental basis on which all other military
  police disciplines are framed and conducted. See ATP 3-39.10 for additional information on police
  operations.
  * Conduct populace and resources control. The function of populace and resources control is
  conducted in conjunction with, and as an integral part of, all military operations. Populace and
  resources control functions consist of two distinct, yet linked, components: populace control and
  resources control. These controls are normally the responsibility of indigenous civil governments.
  Combatant commanders define and enforce these controls during large-scale combat,
  consolidation of gains, and times of civil or military emergency. See ATP 3-39.30 and
  ATP 3-57.10 for additional information on populace and resources control.
