Core Definition (BLUF)

This note maps what feeds the tactics garden: open US doctrine, original tradecraft where pubs are thin, and the private doctrine archive that holds full converted manuals outside the public tree.


What feeds this garden

  1. Open US doctrine - ADP, ADRP (legacy), FM, ATP, GTA, selected JP pubs released for public distribution (Army Publishing Directorate and related channels).
  2. Original tradecraft - notes authored where open doctrine is thin (especially special reconnaissance, surveillance detection, counter-surveillance).
  3. Open analytic frameworks - PMESII-PT, ASCOPE, COG, CARVER as taught in public pubs and professional practice.

Private doctrine archive

What this public tree does not do

  • Host full .full.md manuals or PDFs
  • Host classified or CAC-only text
  • Host client, principal, or engagement data
  • Replace Army Publishing Directorate as the official source of record

When a note says source: GTA 31-01-003 (Jan 2020), treat that as a citation pointer. Expand digests by re-reading the archive full text, then rewriting into the concept spine.


Coverage bands

  • full - pub directly governs the claim
  • partial - pub adapted for detachment or teaching altitude; adaptation stated
  • original - no adequate open pub; authored tradecraft
