GENERAL CONCEPTS RUF and GFR Development

RUF/GFR are more than “Shoot - No Shoot”
Failure follow RUF/GFR may likely result in negative perception of CF
Negative GFR events can create potential enemies and future insurgents
Majority of reported GFR incidents in theater are mistaken engagements of civilians

Severe consequences and resulting negative perception of coalition efforts can be created by not following RUF and GFR procedures.

Negative GFR events create potential enemies and future insurgents if we utilize unrestrained or disproportionate force in the conduct of operations.

The majority of reported GFR incidents in theater are mistaken engagements of civilians

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

WHO MAY I DEFEND?

DoD Civilians and DoD Contractors Myself (Individual only - when armed for personal protection)

PSCs ONLY:

Myself and others
Within the terms of the individual contract or Competent DoD Authority for DoD Civilians

RULES FOR THE USE OF FORCE FOR ARMED DOD CIVILIAN PERSONNEL AND DOD CONTRACT PERSONNEL

PSC: Dependant on contract providing for Personal Security Detachments, which the scope of who may be defended should be detailed

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

WHAT MAY I DEFEND?

Property / Equipment with DEADLY FORCE:

-Only: DOD Contract security for mission essential / US National Security equipment / property Specific authorization required

*Protect other Property with less than deadly force RULES FOR THE USE OF FORCE FOR ARMED DOD CIVILIAN PERSONNEL AND DOD CONTRACT PERSONNEL

GRADUATED FORCE RESPONSE

RULES ON THE USE OF FORCE FOR ARMED DOD CIVILIAN PERSONNEL AND DOD CONTRACT PERSONNEL

Graduated Response Scale:
Verbal warning
Exhibit Weapons (show of force: weapon / physical positioning);
Warning shot(s) (if authorized);
Rifle butts; and/or,
Use of Deadly Force.

SITUATION MAY REQUIRE DEADLY FORCE AS

THE FIRST OPTION

Warn’em, Scare’em, Force’em

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Sample GFR Measures Audible warnings - audio warnings to halt; (verbal warnings in their language, horns, loudspeakers, sirens, translator device, long range acoustic device).

Show/shine - visual warnings, hand signals, spotlights, high-powered flash light, green beam laser, show your weapon and demonstrate intent to use it.

Physically restrain - block access (signs, cones, spike strips, speed bumps), or detain (static position, or dismounted).

Shoot a non-lethal round - if available

Shoot an aimed warning shot - (live round) in vicinity of threatening vehicle or person;

Shoot to disable the threat - focusing on tires or into the front grill (only when threat is a vehicle);

Shoot to eliminate the threat.

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Threat Scale/Range

Some activities are clearly hostile and trigger the right to self-defense.
Some activities are clearly innocent and non-threatening.
Some activities are unclear as to whether they are hostile or innocent.

Use good judgment-understand LN perspective.

Threat Scale Clearly hostile activity Innocent civilian activity Unclear activity

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

GFR Measures in Unclear Situations GFR measures reduce uncertainty.

A threat’s failure to respond to GFR measures may demonstrate that hostile intent exists.

A threat’s change in behavior demonstrates that no hostile intent exists.

Threat Scale Clearly hostile—shoot Innocent civilian activity— don’t shoot Use GFR measures. Observe response. Determine if hostile activity or innocent civilian activity.

PROCEDURES DURING A GFR

MNC-I Cdr’s Intent: resource vehicle checkpoints IOT provide alternatives to lethal force for our Soldiers or Marines.

At 300 m, begin assessing possible threat; use speed bumps and visual warnings to slow vehicles (sandwich board signs, small lasers, handheld spotlights)
At 200 m, use visual warnings (spotlights, lasers, signs)
Show weapon and demonstrate intent to use it
At 100 m, use non-lethal means and audio warnings to slow/stop vehicle (spike strips, loudspeaker, siren, large lasers, warning shots)
At 50 m, utilize disabling shots
Utilize deadly force

USING GFR

INTEL DRIVEN – When justified by current intel, permit local traffic to move freely. In some situations, it is common for local vehicles to be NEXT TO YOU.
When the intel picture or a particular vehicle suggests an increased threat, use GFR at appropriate standoff distances to assess whether there is hostile intent.

DEADLY

FORCE

ASSESSMENT

GFR (Paintball Round, Siren, Pen Flare) MNC-I CDR’s Intent As we move toward a more stable and secure Iraq, we must consider sharing the road rather than owning the road. A truly hostile threat will not respond to graduated force! Instead of focusing on increasing force, we must ASSESS potential threats quickly with non-lethal measures – if possible to do so safely – and be prepared to immediately neutralize hostile threats with deadly force.

The GFR process is designed to equip armed contractors with a flexible framework in order to exercise individual discretion. Always adhere to RUF. Current intelligence will provide threat indicators in addition to driving and traffic patterns.

CONVOY GFR PROCEDURES

* Travel in your lane (use counter-flow measures only when necessary versus convenience) and at speed limits, unless mission or intel requires variations.

If HA/HI -Kill

Use current intel and GFR to tell if a vehicle is friendly or EN:
If time exists to assess a driver’s intent:Use RUF. If HA/HI & personal/unit safety requires immediate response:
1) Use paintball rifle, laser dazzler, pen flares, or equivalent as a decisive step in determining hostile intent

2) Realize that civilians need reaction time to respond to GFR Skip immediately to disabling shot or kill shot.

Note on Graduated Force Response

GFR flow is illustrative and assumes that the convoy leader and the leader of the vehicle believe that the approaching vehicle continues to present a threat. If the approaching vehicle demonstrates compliance, or is judged as non-threatening, then the GFR procedure should cease. No further escalation is necessary.

The Bottom Line: What’s the point of GFR

To determine whether the hostile intent exists.
To warn innocent civilians that their conduct may be perceived as hostile by CF.

Give medical attention to wounded individuals, unless the circumstances indicate it would be unsafe to do so.

May detain individuals for self-defense only when there is a reasonable belief that failure to detain would cause imminent risk of death or serious bodily harm.

Detained individuals will be treated humanely, their property will be accounted for, and then will be turned over to host nation police/security forces or coalition forces ASAP.

GRADUATED FORCE RESPONSE

RULES ON THE USE OF FORCE FOR ARMED DOD CIVILIAN PERSONNEL AND DOD CONTRACT PERSONNEL Remember: You are required to use the minimum amount of force necessary to defend yourself, or if a PSC, the people you are contracted to protect, but the minimum amount of force necessary may be deadly force.

Training Vignette 1

You’re the lead vehicle in a 20 vehicle north-bound convoy on a busy road. Your convoy has slowed to 10 mph due to traffic and road conditions. You see a civilian vehicle driving south-bound at a high rate of speed in the north-bound about 150m away. You attempt to wave the vehicle off but it continues to approach. What do you do?

Training Vignette 1: Answer

You must maintain and increase situational awareness. Iraqi drivers often disregard traffic laws. This must be factored into your analysis.
Change lanes if practical and observe what the on-coming vehicle does.
A vehicle passing a convoy is NOT by itself a hostile act or demonstration of hostile intent. However, the vehicle is coming at the wrong direction and has disregarded your attempts to wave it off. What other measures can you use to get the driver’s attention? Hand & arm signals, sirens, bullhorns, aimed weapons, laser dazzler.
Only when you’re reasonably certain that the driver’s intent is hostile, fire a well aimed warning shot in a safe direction, or if necessary, engage to disable the vehicle, or to kill the driver.
Whenever possible, initiate warning shots with M4 or M16.

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Training Vignette 2

Your 4 vehicle convoy is on the outskirts of Mosul approaching an overpass. A crowd is gathering in the area just beneath the overpass, which slows your convoy. You see a man on the right flank about 130 meters away running in an alley toward the overpass with an AK-47 at his side. What do you do?

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Training Vignette 2: Answer

Lead vehicle must focus on dispersing the crowd to allow the convoy to continue its mission by using sirens and hand & arm signals.
#2 vehicles closes distance from lead vehicle and uses laser on individual with weapon. Gunner also shouts and shows weapon.
Remember the Iraqis may legally posses small arms for protection.
Attempt to identify the individual with the weapon.
Do not engage unless there are further indications of hostile intent or a hostile act.

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Training Vignette 3

You are a gunner in a 10 vehicle NIGHT convoy. You are in an area where there have been several attacks in the last few weeks. You see several flashes to the right, but you do not hear any gunshots. As the events unfold on your right flank, 250 meters in front of your convoy is a car traveling on the wrong side with no headlights coming towards you. What do you do?

Encl. 1 to TAB G to App. 11 to Annex C to OPORD 08-02

Training Vignette 3: Answer

Regarding the Right Flank:
You must have positive identification (PID) before engaging any target. You cannot engage the flashes of light with fire at this point – it could be anything from non-hostile civilian activity to lateral Friendly Forces.
Regarding the Approaching Vehicle:
Tension will be extremely high given the simultaneous scenarios, but the necessary steps of GFR must be applied.
Give visual warnings using spotlights or lasers.
Use audio warning measures such as sirens or loudspeakers, if available.
If you become reasonably certain hostile intent is present, fire a warning shot if conditions permit. Use disabling shots and lethal force only as a last step in the process, if necessary.
