Classification: CONFIDENTIAL | UP TO DATE
Security Type: Maximum Secure Encrypted Method
X1.0 OverviewX

The Framework of Defense Readiness Postures (FDRP) delineates the conditions and requirements for readiness of the Republic Thai Armed Forces across six levels. This is designed to provide an overarching strategic framework that prepares our forces for varying degrees of threats, ranging from a peaceful state to full-scale conflict.

X2.0 PEACE TIME READINESS (PTR)X

This is the foundational state of defense operations where there is an atmosphere of peace and stability. The military is focused on normal activities including personnel training, equipment maintenance, and other routine operations. The absence of an immediate threat allows for comprehensive training and readiness exercises to be conducted. During this period, diplomacy is prioritized, and the military may engage in cooperative missions with foreign nations to foster peaceful relations and mutual understanding. The military infrastructure remains alert but does not assume an aggressive posture.

Army: During PTR, the Army is focused on training and maintaining its personnel's skills and equipment. Regular exercises and drills are conducted to keep personnel sharp and ready. The Army also engages in community outreach and humanitarian missions domestically and abroad.
Navy: The Navy conducts routine patrols, maintains seafaring and combat readiness, and oversees regular maintenance of naval vessels and equipment. The Navy may also participate in joint naval exercises with allied nations to foster cooperation and interoperability.
Air Force: The Air Force concentrates on routine training flights, maintenance of aircraft, and personnel skill upgrades. Aeronautical research, development, and testing may be conducted during this period.​

X3.0 Increased Vigilance (IVG)X

During this phase, slight but significant changes in the geopolitical landscape or international relations warrant a higher level of readiness. Intelligence gathering and analysis become more intensified, with increased surveillance and monitoring. Readiness checks for personnel and equipment are implemented more frequently to ensure swift response capability. Though there is no immediate threat, preparation for potential escalation is intensified, ensuring the force remains ready to transition to a higher readiness posture if necessary.

Army: The Army starts to conduct more frequent readiness checks, increasing the intensity of training exercises and drills. Intelligence operations may see a slight uptick, and the frequency of equipment checks is heightened.
Navy: The Navy heightens its surveillance operations at sea, ensuring its vessels are ready to respond at a moment's notice. Regular readiness checks are carried out, and joint naval exercises may take on a more defensive tone.
Air Force: Air patrols become more frequent, and the Air Force remains ready to deploy aircraft rapidly if needed. Increased maintenance and checks on aircraft are performed to ensure optimal performance.​

X4.0 Threat Detected (TDE)X

At this stage, there are clear indications or intelligence reports of potential threats to national security. The alert level of all units is significantly increased. Non-essential personnel activities are reduced to focus on maintaining readiness. Expedited maintenance and preparation of primary weaponry and defense equipment are initiated. Personnel leaves may be curtailed, and the possibility of conflict begins to influence decision-making processes, strategic planning, and resource allocation.

Army: The Army shifts towards a higher operational tempo, curtailing non-essential activities. Training focuses more on potential threats, and all personnel are kept on alert. Primary weaponry and defense equipment undergo expedited maintenance and preparation.
Navy: The Navy increases its patrols and maintains a high level of readiness. Vessels are checked thoroughly, and potential threat response strategies are reviewed and drilled.
Air Force: The Air Force ramps up its surveillance and increases the readiness levels of its aircraft. Non-essential activities are reduced, and attention shifts to ensuring the Air Force's swift response capability.​

X5.0 Heightened Readiness (HRD)X

This posture is assumed when there is a significant and tangible threat or an increased likelihood of hostilities. All military units are mobilized and placed on heightened alert. Comprehensive system checks, weapon readiness assessments, and resource mobilization are initiated at an accelerated pace. Any personnel on leave are recalled to active duty, and the entirety of the military infrastructure gears up for potential conflict.

Army: The Army is fully mobilized and all units are placed on standby. Comprehensive system checks, weapon readiness, and resource mobilization are initiated. Military maneuvers and drills simulate conflict scenarios.

Air Force: The Air Force focuses on strategic air defense readiness and is prepared to implement no-fly zones. Airborne early warning and control systems (AWACS) are on high alert. Combat aircraft are on quick reaction alert status.​

X6.0 Imminent Action (IMA)X

This phase signifies a high probability of armed conflict or the need for immediate military intervention or deployment. All forces are fully mobilized, combat-ready, and on high alert. The cancellation of all leaves reflects the severity of the situation. Personnel, equipment, and strategic assets are prepared for immediate deployment. Readiness is at its peak, and the nation's defense forces are prepared to respond effectively to any hostility or conflict.

Army: The Army is fully ready for deployment, with personnel prepared for combat and equipment and vehicles loaded for swift movement. Divisions, brigades, and battalions coordinate for potential action.

X1.0 IntroductionX

The Republic Army's Standard Squad Organization, known internally as the "Squad Document," delineates the fundamental structure of infantry regiments within the Republic Army. At the core of this organizational framework is the squad of 10 service members, the smallest unit within infantry regiments. In a standard infantry regiment comprising 3,243 service members, there are typically 300 squads, 150 sections, 75 platoons, 15 companies, and 3 battalions. In the smallest sub-subunit structure, a platoon is made of two sections and four squads.

Squads serve as the cornerstone of the Republic Army's operational effectiveness, tasked with executing both conventional and unconventional warfare missions. Emphasizing the Republic Army's doctrine of decentralized operations, squads are pivotal in ensuring operational autonomy, lethality, and self-sufficiency. This approach underscores the Republic Army's commitment to empowering small units, nurturing leadership across all echelons, and maintaining a highly adaptable and capable force prepared to tackle diverse operational challenges.

As the senior NCO, the sergeant wields a Scar-H rifle equipped with a Picatinny rail for the integration of optics and accessories. Beyond marksmanship, the squad leader embodies exemplary leadership qualities, encompassing decisiveness, tactical prowess, and composure in high-pressure scenarios. They are expected to swiftly assess situations, make informed decisions, and effectively relay orders to the squad.

The corporal assumes the role of second-in-command, offering crucial leadership support and ensuring operational continuity in the absence of the squad leader. Armed with a Scar-L rifle featuring a Picatinny rail, the junior NCO is prepared to seamlessly assume command when necessary.
