What does The Protection Warfighting Function Enable Commanders to do?
The Protection Warfighting Function Enables Commanders to Preserve the Force Combat Power by Integrating Protection Capabilities within Operations

Emergency Management and Response to Reduce the Loss of Personnel and Capabilities due to Accidents, Health Threats, and Natural Disasters
Para 6 What are the 5 Protection Principles?
1. Comprehensive 2. Integrated 3. Layered 4. Redundant 5. Enduring
Para 6 What is meant by the Principle Comprehensive?
