Preview Camouflage SOP: A Guide to Reduce Physical Signature Under UAS
Description:
The threat has changed. Our adversaries, large and small, now integrate ISR sensors, especially
UAS, with long-range precision fires. For U.S. forces, this is the end of guaranteed air superiority.
Operations have changed. Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE) and Expeditionary
Advanced Base Operations (EABO) require Fleet Marine Forces to support Navy sea control
missions.
Marines will seize key maritime terrain—Expeditionary Advanced Bases (EABs)—in order to establish
fires, ISR, aircraft, logistics, C2, or air and missile defense sites. These distributed EABs, operating
under the arc of enemy long-range precision fires, will expand the Fleet’s sea control, challenge the
enemy’s ability to target us, and free ships for other missions.
Outside the EABO concept, while conducting traditional amphibious operations or sustained
operations ashore—even against unsophisticated adversaries—Marines will still face the threat of
advanced sensors and long-range precision fires. UAS are everywhere.
For any mission, any adversary, and any environment, units must ruthlessly reduce their signature.
Battle positions and operating bases must be small, dispersed, well-camouflaged, and temporary.
The purpose of this SOP is to reduce the physical signature of the infantry battalion. We can reduce,
but never completely mask our signature. We will avoid observation to protect our combat power. The
signature of the infantry battalion, with 700 Marines and few vehicles, is less than other units of the
GCE, less than the equipment-heavy units of the ACE and LCE, and far less than any partnered Army
or Navy units.
Camouflage and concealment DISRUPTS the enemy’s intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance efforts. Our units DISPERSE into multiple small elements, DISPLACE often, FIND
concealed sites, CONFORM to terrain, OPERATE at night, CAMOUFLAGE everything, BLEND with
their surroundings, MINIMIZE movement, MINIMIZE radio calls, POST air guards, PLAN to operate
under UAS, and INSPECT their signature from the adversary’s point of view.
Camouflage discipline includes light discipline, heat discipline, noise discipline, trash discipline,
and movement discipline.
