CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The Global Initiative for Joint Operations and Enforcement (GIJOE) Composite Unit is a joint service activity administered by the DefenseSecurity Cooperation Agency (DSCA), a component of the United States Department of Defense. Military and excepted civil serviceagents assigned to the GIJOE Composite Unit are tasked with providing, in short order, contingency tactical recovery/recapture, anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP), and intelligence/investigative support to DSCA-authorized Security Cooperation (SC) and SecurityAssistance (SA) operations in politically sensitive or particularly high-risk environments, to include disaster areas and areas subject toongoing local or transnational military conflicts. GIJOE combat elements perform contingency tactical operations to recover, recapture, or destroy stolen and diverted Security Assistance Program-sourced defense materiel and United States-origin military equipment in thepossession of designated enemy combatants. Specially trained Composite Unit personnel detect and prevent acts of espionage,sabotage, kidnapping, theft, and terrorism directed against the DSCA and allied organizations and agencies. GIJOE agents are authorizedto obtain and execute warrants for the arrest of suspects involved in the illicit international trade in weapons, munitions, and military

information and technology. In cooperation with Combatant Command assets, federal law enforcement agencies, and foreign andmultinational military and police organizations, the GIJOE Composite Unit enforces US, NATO, and UN regulations governing conventionalarms control in assigned areas of operations.

1-1. Mission. 

• The GIJOE Composite Unit's primary mission is the planning and conduct of contingency tactical operations of limited scopeand duration in support of overseas DSCA Security Cooperation and Security Assistance activities in politically sensitiveand/or high-risk environments.

Designated GIJOE combat elements perform direct combat operations to recover, recapture, or destroy stolen and divertedSecurity Assistance Program-sourced defense materiel and United States-origin military equipment in the possession of persons or organizations engaged in hostilities against the United States and its Security Cooperation and SecurityAssistance partner-states. Additionally, GIJOE agents can conduct limited military manhunt operations targeting leaders of armed non-state groups involved in the trade and sale of stolen and diverted Security Assistance Program-sourced defensemateriel and United States-origin military equipment. GIJOE units are trained, equipped, and organized to perform thesefunctions either as part of a unilateral or multilateral combined arms contingent, or as a stand-alone rapid response force withthe full administrative, logistical, and operational backing of the DSCA apparatus.

• Select GIJOE elements are organized, trained, and equipped to openly or clandestinely observe and report on allegations of mis-use of Security Assistance Program-sourced defense material, United States-origin military equipment, and Security

Cooperation Program-sourced military training by foreign governments, belligerent organizations, and designated terroristgroups. These information gathering activities include, but are not limited to, special reconnaissance missions, surveillance of

named areas of interest (NAIs) and high-value targets (HVTs), and counterintelligence, criminal intelligence, and weaponsintelligence investigations.

• GIJOE agents provide general and tailored anti-terrorism/force protection support—to include convoy escort, installationdefense, and counterintelligence force protection source operations—to the DSCA and organizations and agencies alliedwith its Security Cooperation and Security Assistance partner-states as necessary.

1-2. Capabilities and Limitations.

The GIJOE Composite Unit is capable of the following:

• Deploying quickly to conduct operations on all types of terrain and in all kinds of weather; infiltrating and exfiltrating an areaof operations by land, sea, or air.

• Conducting strikes, raids, patrols, and other limited duration small unit combat maneuvers and operations.

• Performing limited manhunt operations.

• Overseeing and conducting the destruction of unrecoverable defense materiel and other military equipment.

• Performing strategic and tactical information gathering activities including, but not limited to, surveillance of named areas of interest (NAIs) and high-value targets (HVTs), special reconnaissance missions, and counterintelligence and intelligenceinvestigations.

• Providing general and tailored anti-terrorism/force protection support—to include convoy escort, installation defense, andcounterintelligence force protection source operations—as necessary.

The GIJOE Composite Unit has the following limitations:

• Limited capability to engage armor and aviation-equipped military and paramilitary units of platoon or larger size in open

terrain.

• Limited sustained operation capability due to the logistical restrictions of organic supply assets.

• Requires support from the DSCA Operations Directorate and/or the supported higher headquarters for the following:

◦ Maintenance, supply, mess, medical, administration, finance, and personnel services.

◦ Area communication integration and access to a common-user telephone system.

◦ Frequency management for HF radio and UHF SATCOM access.

◦ Packing, rigging, and loading supplies and equipment for aerial resupply operations, helicopter/air assault insertion

operations, and parachute insertion operations.

◦ Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps air transportation to move GIJOE personnel, organic equipment, and organicvehicles to the area of operations.

◦ Army, Coast Guard, or Navy (including designated civilian auxiliary Merchant Marine) maritime transportation to moveGIJOE personnel, organic equipment, and organic vehicles to the area of operations.

Mobility in the area of operations is restricted to movement by foot and organic light/medium wheeled tactical vehicles, and inthe case of certain specially trained and equipped elements, combat swimming/diving.

• Organic casualty treatment capability is limited to combat lifesaver tasks at the squad/section/team-level and combat medictasks at the platoon-level.

• Lengthy training periods are necessary in order to replace agents lost in operations.

1-3. Employment Considerations.

• GIJOE operations in jurisdictions and territories held by DSCA Security Cooperation and Security Assistance state-partners

and cooperative neighbor states must always be conducted with their prior and explicit approval.

• In cases where state-partner and/or cooperative neighbor state approval is unreasonably delayed or denied, the GIJOEComposite Unit may still be deployed in contravention of state sovereignty pursuant to international and/or coalitionauthorization.

• The GIJOE Composite Unit may be deployed without state approval or international authorization in failed states anddisputed territories where quickly evolving and confirmed threats to vital national security or humanitarian interestsnecessitate a rapid and decisive tactical response unique to the unit's capabilities is required, as deemed by the NCA(National Command Authority).

• The GIJOE Composite Unit can be used to reinforce and supplement United States or coalition military forces in variousoperational roles and settings suited to its capabilities, but it is not equipped nor is it intended to perform full-spectrum militaryoperations in place of standard conventional and special operations-capable formations.

CHAPTER 2

Organization

The GIJOE Composite Unit is a company-sized rapid reaction organization consisting of 139 military personnel (six officers, five warrantofficers, and 128 enlisted servicemen and women) from various military field and career backgrounds and three excepted civil serviceagents. It is composed of a unit headquarters, a Tactical Recovery and Recapture Platoon, a Mobile Scout-Raider Platoon, a FieldIntelligence and Surveillance Platoon, and a Force Protection Platoon (Figure 2-1).

2-1. Headquarters.

The GIJOE Composite Unit Headquarters provides command, control, and supervision of all organic and attached elements. It consists of the commanding officer (CO), the executive officer (XO), the senior enlisted adviser (SEA), the staff NCO for tactical communications(SNCO-COMMS), the staff NCO for supply and logistics (SNCO-LOG), two combat net radio operators (CNRO), and two anti-terrorismevasive driving-trained staff drivers (STF-DVR). During tactical operations, the headquarters co-locates with one of the four subordinate

platoons as dictated by the factors of mission, enemy, terrain, troops, time available, and civil considerations, in the optimal position wherethe CO, XO, and SEA can observe, analyze, and influence the critical points and actions in the area of operations, communicate orders,and participate directly in platoon-level tasks as necessary. The headquarters' personnel and vehicles are organized as follows:

• Two VAMP (Variable Application Mobility Platform) light tactical vehicles configured for command and control functionality driven bythe two staff drivers and equipped with expanded communications suites operated by the two combat net radio operators, under thecontrol of the CO and XO.

• One HAVOC (Hauling Applications Vehicle, Off-road Capable) combat logistics support vehicle under the control of the senior enlisted adviser. The HAVOC is driven by the supply and logistics staff NCO and its expanded communications suite is operated bythe staff NCO for tactical communications.

2-2. Tactical Recovery and Recapture Platoon.

The GIJOE Composite Unit's Tactical Recovery and Recapture Platoon (TRRP) is capable of rapidly deploying by land, sea, and air toconduct contingency tactical operations to recover, recapture, or destroy stolen and diverted Security Assistance Program-sourceddefense materiel and United States-origin military equipment in the possession of persons engaged in hostilities against the United Statesand its Security Cooperation and Security Assistance partner-states. The TRRP maintains a high degree of readiness in order to conduct

these limited-duration contingency combat operations. The platoon can also be tasked with conducting limited military manhunt operationsin pursuit of armed non-state group leaders involved in the trade of stolen and diverted defense materiel and equipment. All TRRPpersonnel have significant experience serving in direct combat positions with infantry (Army and Marine Corps), cavalry scout (Army),force-level reconnaissance/special operations (Marine Corps), Special Forces (Army), and Special Warfare (Navy) units. All platoonpersonnel are trained in static-line parachuting, helicopter rope suspension techniques, and basic small boat operations. The platoon'sorganic vehicles are certified for helicopter sling load, Low-Velocity Airdrop (LVAD), and Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System(LAPES) aerial delivery and can fit inside Army and Navy utility landing craft (LCUs) for transport directly onto beachheads or piers.

• The platoon is subdivided into a platoon headquarters, a HAVOC section, and three tactical recovery and recapture squads (Figure2-3).

Figure 2-3. Tactical Recovery and Recapture Platoon Organization

◦ The platoon's headquarters (Figure 2-4) is composed of the command and control team and a sniper team.

▪ The command and control team consists of the platoon officer-in-charge (PLT-OIC), the platoon NCO-in-charge (PLT-NCOIC), a combat net radio operator (CNRO), and a special operations combat medic (SOCM). The platoon OIC isresponsible for the employment of the platoon and all the platoon's weapons, equipment, and vehicles. The platoon NCOICis the most senior NCO in the platoon. He is second in succession of command, assists and advises the platoon leader, andhe leads the platoon in the platoon OIC's absence. The platoon NCOIC serves as a HAVOC truck commander duringmounted operations and exercises overall control over the platoon's HAVOC section (see below) when the platoon OICperforms dismounted operations with the recovery and recapture squads. The platoon NCOIC also conducts and leads

dismounted operations as necessary, based on the factors of mission, enemy, terrain, troops, time available, and civilconsiderations.

▪ The headquarters' three-man sniper team serves as the platoon OIC's surveillance, close reconnaissance, and targetacquisition asset. The senior man in the team is the spotter/relief sniper (SPT-SNP), the next most senior man is the primarysniper (SNP), and the lowest ranked member of the team serves as the team security man (SEC-SNP). The team is capableof providing the platoon with a full range of sniper support out to 800 meters and beyond. The sniper team is employed tosupport maneuver, conduct surveillance of designated targets, neutralize essential enemy leadership or command

personnel, enhance force protection by performing counter-sniper activities, and provide lethal and accurate long-range firesin urban operations.

Figure 2-4. Tactical Recovery and Recapture Platoon Headquarters* - Assigned to lead the HAVOC Section and serve as a HAVOC truck commander in standard tasking (see Figure 2-5.)

◦ The tactical recovery and recapture platoon is equipped with four HAVOC combat logistics support vehicles organized into asection (Figure 2-5) that provides rapid tactical and operational mobility of platoon personnel to critical locations in the area of operations as well as mobile resupply capability.

Each HAVOC is assigned a two-man crew consisting of a truck commander (TR-TC) and a driver (TR-DVR). These mountedcrews provide critical support to the platoon by operating and maintaining the HAVOCs and employing them to ensure deliveryof platoon personnel to their dismount point.

The truck commander is responsible for the overall employment of the HAVOC and operates the HAVOC's defensive armament

and communications equipment. The vehicle driver operates the vehicle during all conditions, day or night. At the truckcommander's direction, the driver negotiates the vehicle through all terrain and obstacles to deliver platoon personnel, supplies,and equipment safely to the point of employment in the area of operations.

The platoon's HAVOC crews and recovery and recapture squads provide mutual protection for each other while performing their assigned missions. Recovery and recapture squad members help operate the HAVOC's defensive armaments and use their personal weapons for vehicle defense while mounted and they provide security for the vehicles while halted. The HAVOC crewsprovide rapid tactical mobility and an augmenting base of fire for the dismounted squads.

Once the platoon personnel have dismounted the HAVOCs, the vehicle crew may employ the vehicle's defensive armament todefeat unarmored or lightly armored enemy vehicles and dismounted enemy combatants as necessary, although the HAVOC is

not intended to be used as an infantry fighting vehicle. The HAVOC Section is led by the platoon NCOIC in standard taskings,and he also serves as a truck commander for the lead vehicle.

◦ Each of the platoon's three tactical recovery and recapture squads (Figure 2-6) consists of a squad leader (TRS-LDR) and two

four-man teams, each consisting of a team leader (TR-LDR) and three team members (TR-MBR). The squad leader controls thesquad's movement and fires and conducts squad training. Depending on mission requirements, a squad can be task-organizedaccording to one of two schemes (Figure 2-7), as a rifle squad consisting of the squad leader and two four-man fireteams or asan urban terrain-optimized squad consisting of the squad leader, a four-man entry element, and a four-man cover element.Squad members are cross-trained in all of the alternative positions in each task organization scheme.

The platoon's first squad is composed wholly of MFF (Military Free Fall)-qualified Special Forces or infantry personnel and is ledby a US Army Special Forces Warrant Officer. The second squad is made up entirely of BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolitions/SEAL)-qualified Navy personnel and is led by a Naval Special Warfare Technician (Warrant Officer). The third squadis led by a Ranger-qualified US Army infantry senior sergeant, a US Army Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, or aReconnaissance Man-qualified USMC Infantry Unit Leader and is composed of infantry sergeants with extensive training andexperience in the conduct of MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain).

2-3. Mobile Scout-Raider Platoon.

The Mobile Scout-Raider Platoon (MSRP) is organized, equipped, and trained to conduct mounted and dismounted security operationsand zone, area, and route reconnaissance for the GIJOE Composite Unit. It is frequently used in a reinforcing role in direct support of theTRRP, providing it with a rapidly mobile base of fires of greater lethality than the TRRP's organic HAVOC Section. The MSRP providescurrent area of operations data to help the GIJOE commanding officer plan and conduct operations. The platoon also conducts security

and screening missions, such as convoy escort and area security patrols, and it possesses a heavy anti-armor capability that can beemployed defensively—for self-protection and breaking contact with a larger, armor-reinforced, enemy force—or offensively—in hit and runstrikes against armor-reinforced targets-of-opportunity of up to platoon size—although it is not equipped to conduct sustained combatoperations against enemy armor. The platoon's mobility support section provides it with the abili ty to conduct engineer reconnaissance andlimited obstacle clearance, urban mobility breaching, and combat demolitions activities.

Mobile scout-raider section personnel have significant experience serving in direct combat positions with infantry (Army and MarineCorps), cavalry scout (Army), force-level reconnaissance/special operations (Marine Corps), and Special Forces (Army) units. Members of the mobility support section are Sapper-qualified combat engineers or Special Forces Engineer Sergeants. All of the platoon's personnelare trained in static-line parachuting, helicopter rope suspension techniques, and basic small boat operations. The platoon's organicvehicles and equipment are certified for helicopter sling load, Low-Velocity Airdrop (LVAD), and Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System

(LAPES) aerial delivery and can fit inside Army and Navy utility landing craft (LCUs) for transport directly onto beachheads or piers.

• The platoon is subdivided into three mobile scout-raider sections and a mobility support section.

Figure 2-8. Mobile Scout-Raider Platoon Organization

◦ The three mobile scout-raider sections form a nine-vehicle element (Figure 2-9). This grouping achieves a good compromisebetween the need to employ a maximum number of assets during the reconnaissance or security mission and the requirementfor self-protection. It is the ideal task-organization for route reconnaissance missions. In a security/screen mission, this enablesthe use of three long-duration observation posts which are occupied for twelve hours or more and allows for the simultaneousconduct of mounted and dismounted patrols. In this arrangement, the platoon OIC (PLT-OIC) and platoon NCOIC (PLT-NCOIC)are mobile scout-raider section leaders and perform scout-raider team member duties along with their platoon command and

control responsibilities. To minimize their workload, these leaders make maximum use of their gunners and place themselves inthe overwatch position within their sections. The third mobile scout-raider section leader (SR LDR) is a senior NCO.

Each section is allocated three VAMP fast attack vehicles: the lead VAMP is equipped with a heavy machine gun and generalpurpose medium machine gun, the second VAMP is equipped with an automatic grenade launcher, and the third VAMP is fittedwith an anti-armor guided missile launch platform. Section leaders ride in the automatic grenade launcher-equipped VAMP. EachVAMP has a crew of three: a team leader/truck commander (SR-TC), a gunner (SR-GNR), and a driver (SR-DVR). All crewmembers are cross-trained in the different crew duty stations and in the conduct of dismounted scout-raider duties. Additionally,a special operations combat medic (SOCM) rides in the platoon OIC's vehicle.

◦ The mobility support section (Figure 2-10), while capable of general security and reconnaissance small-unit operations,specializes in maneuver enhancement tasks including, but not limited to, the following: (1) route reconnaissance focused onroute clearance; (2) obstacle reconnaissance focused on bypass/breach; (3) reconnaissance of tunnels, underground structures,and complex terrain; (4) area reconnaissance focused on explosive hazards (EH), support of urban combat operations, andestablishing vehicle fighting positions; and (5) contingency combat breaching and limited obstacle reduction.

The section's leader (SPR-LDR) is a Sapper-qualified combat engineer senior sergeant or a Special Forces Engineer Senior Sergeant. The assistant section leader (SPR-A/L) and the section members (SPR) are Sapper-qualified combat engineers or Special Forces Engineer Sergeants. When conducting engineer reconnaissance, the section is habitually task-organized intomounted and dismounted elements (Figure 2-11). The mobility support section is allocated man-portable mine-detectionequipment and two VAMPs equipped with heavy and medium machine guns. The vehicles' onboard weapons are used todisrupt EH at a safe distance and for defensive and offensive purposes. The section normally employs a light, basic load of demolitions, man-portable recoilless weapons, and hand tools for contingency breaching and obstacle reduction tasks. Allsection members are trained explosive ordnance clearance agents (EOCA) and are qualified to perform limited search,identification, and in-place disposal of EH such as mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) and limited identification and in-placedisposal (but not search or handling) of improvised explosive devices (IED). If the EH is out of the section's scope of operations,

the GIJOE Composite Unit's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team is called upon to augment the section's capabilities.
