ATP 3-36 provides techniques for the application of electronic warfare in unified land operations. ATP 3-36 expands the discussion of the role of electronic warfare in cyber electromagnetic activities.

The principal audience for ATP 3-36 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication.

ATP 3-36 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/the Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.

Introduction

ATP 3-36 expands upon electronic warfare tasks, their role in unified land operations, and considerations specific to electronic warfare.

It contains five chapters and three appendixes.

Chapter 1 provides a brief description of the three divisions of electronic warfare, describes the key personnel involved in planning and coordinating electronic warfare, explains its relationship to cyber electromagnetic activities, and concludes with electronic warfare contributions to the integrating processes and continuing activities.

Chapter 2 discusses the operations process and applying electronic warfare considerations. It provides guidance on preparing the electronic warfare running estimate.

Chapter 3 addresses electronic warfare preparation, execution, and assessment. More detailed information is provided on the joint restricted frequency list, airborne electronic attack, and electromagnetic interference considerations.

Chapter 4 looks at coordinating electronic warfare through the targeting process.

Chapter 5 introduces joint and multinational electronic warfare staff structures and organizations, as well as, unique information security considerations when working with multinational organizations.

Appendix A discusses electronic warfare forms and message formats. Appendix B provides information on calculating jammer effectiveness. Appendix C describes electronic warfare equipment used by each of the Services.

• Chapter 3 that described electronic warfare organization is updated in chapter 1 of this ATP to reflect the replacement of the electronic warfare working group with the cyber electromagnetic activities working group.
• Appendix B that provided a sample electronic warfare running estimate is updated in chapter 2 of this ATP.
• Appendix C that discussed reports and message formats is updated in appendix A of this ATP by removing reports and messages already provided in FM 6-99, and including important forms and message formats used by electronic warfare officers.
