ATP 3-01.8, focuses on how a combined arms force protects themselves from an adversarys air attack. Aerial threats include Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS); fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft; rockets, artillery,and mortars (RAM); ballistic missiles (BM) and cruise missiles (CM). Commanders at all levels face the challenge of being able counter the air threat and adversarial reconnaissance within their operational environment. Countering air threats is a shared joint and combined arms responsibility. Dedicated ADA forces assigned within a theater are primarily responsible for detection and direct engagements of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and missile threats to ground forces within an area of operations. ATP 3-01.8 contains four chapters and a supporting appendix that includes; air threat description and employment planning, warnings and self-defense, passive defense measures, active defense measures, and unit training. This publication also introduces the measures that can be taken to counter unmanned threats.The four chapters and appendix are: Chapter 1 discusses air and missile threats. Chapter 2 provides details on each type of adversarial aerial threat. Chapter 3 discusses active and passive air defense techniques. Chapter 4 discusses unit security and intelligence operations planning to include reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance activities.
