18. Military Consequence Management
• Detecting and neutralizing environmental hazards— ability to
reduce, or eliminate, the operational impacts and effects of a full
range of environment‐base hazards
range of en ironment base ha ards
• Rapid assessment of physical damage, casualties, and
contamination
• Deployment of force protection systems for sustained
operations— ability by which the force protects personnel,
information, and physical sets against the full spectrum of threats
• Treatment of mass casualties
• Containment and decontamination procedures, especially in wide‐
area settings

19. Military Police
Military Police
Force security systems— the ability to prevent unauthorized access to
•
equipment, installations, materiel, and documents; and to safeguard them
against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft
against espionage sabotage damage and theft
Military law enforcement— the ability to conduct law enforcement,
•
criminal investigations, and support to U.S. Customs operations
Non‐lethal effects— th bilit t b
N l th l ff t the ability to be explicitly designed and primarily
li itl d i d d i il
•
employed so as to temporarily incapacitate personnel or materiel, while
minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired
damage to property and the environment
Population control and engagement— the ability to proactively provide
•
the necessary control over demographically diverse populations so that
forces are unencumbered in the conduct of their respective operations

20. Military Engineering
Military Engineering
• Mobility— the ability of military forces to move from place to
place, while retaining the ability to fulfill their primary mission
• Counter IED, mines, and unexploded ordnance— the ability of the
force to reduce, or eliminate, the operational impacts from
explosive hazards
• Force protection systems— the ability by which the force protects
personnel, information, and physical assets against the full
spectrum of threats
• General engineering for sustained operations— the ability to
preserve, enhance, and maintain deployment and employment
infrastructure, to include power projection platforms

21. g
Chemical & Biological
• Detecting and neutralizing chemical/
biological hazards— the ability to detect,
reduce, or eliminate the operational impacts
and effects of chemical and biological hazards

22. C4ISR
• Battle command— the art and science of visualizing,
describing, directing, and leading forces in operations
g, g, g p
against a hostile, thinking, and adaptive enemy
• Battlespace awareness— the ability of the force to
understand the environment in which they operate and
understand the environment in which they operate and
the adversaries they face
• Operational environment understand— the ability to
p y
understand, in real time, the environmental (space, air,
water, ground, subterranean) impact on operations and
options to leverage or mitigate efforts

Human Systems Integration
• Human performance— defining human performance
in perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor domains
in perceptual cognitive and psychomotor domains
• Battle‐management environment— modeling effects
on cognitive and team performance of different time‐
g p
scales and other factors in a multi‐echelon battle‐
management environment
• Man machine interface human performance and
Man‐machine interface— human performance and
human‐machine interface research related to
