This learning environment is an educational summary of open NATO and US doctrine. This chapter accounts for the publications used (§ 10.2 and § 10.3) and the standard works that form the reference framework (§ 10.4).
| Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To account for the open doctrine and literature the material rests on. |
| Two layers | Used (I numbers): publications the material itself names as primary references (§ 3.3 and § 8.3). Reference framework (R numbers): standard works the material aligns with, for example on analytical biases and estimative language, but which are not cited in the text. |
| Method | The material summarises open doctrine and makes it accessible for teaching. Terminology follows the established term IPB; current US doctrine speaks of IPOE (see § 3.3). Cards and diagrams are own simplifications. |
| Case study | The A2/AD case in chapter 9 is fictional. It is inspired by open-source descriptions of Kaliningrad and the Suwałki corridor (I10); all values are invented for teaching. For real IADS and SAM data: see the Airdefense Academy register (I11). |
| Reliability | Doctrine is revised; version numbers and titles in this register reflect mid-2026. The checked currency note in § 3.3 (IPB → IPOE) was verified against ATP 2-01.3 Change 2, FM 2-0 and JP 2-0. |
