Efficient combat operations depend on clear, accurate, and secure communication among ground units, Army aviation, and supporting Air Force elements. Control and coordination are achieved by the most rapid means of communication available between men and units. When electrical means of communication are inadequate, or not available, a station-to-station system of visual communication is an alternate means for transmitting order, information, or requests for aid and/or support. Through the use of arm-and-hand signals, flags, pyrotechnics, and other visual aids, message may be transmitted. Although many of these signals are widely used, incorporated into unit communications-electronics operating instructions and standing operating procedures, Army wide standardization will increase their effectiveness. The purpose of this manual is to standardize visual signals and to serve as a training reference. It is a guide. It does not cover all visual signals used in the Army, only those that are commonly used.

The forward surgical team (FST) is a 20-man team which provides far forward surgical intervention to render nontransportable patients sufficiently stable to allow for medical evacuation to a Level III hospital (combat support hospital [CSH]). There are 57 patient condition codes (Appendix A) that identify patients with the type of injuries that would benefit most from FST intervention. Surgery performed by the FST is resuscitative surgery; additional surgery may be required at a supporting Level III hospital in the area of operations (AO). Patients remain at the FST until they recover from anesthesia, once stabilized they are evacuated as soon as possible. The postoperative intensive care capacity of the FST is extremely limited, there is no holding capability. The FST is not a self-sustaining unit and must be deployed with or attached to a medical company or hospital for support. Further, the FST is neither staffed nor equipped to provide routine sick call functions. This field manual (FM) outlines doctrine for the employment of the FST. It is the primary reference document for the Active Component (AC) and the Reserve Component (RC) of the Army. It presents tactics, techniques, and procedures for employing FSTs. It is primarily intended for the use of the FST chief, his team, and the medical company/troop commanders and their staff. Other intended users include senior medical commanders, senior medical staff advisors, and joint and Army health service support (HSS) planners.

This field manual (FM), "Law Enforcement Investigations (FM 3-19.13)," is a guide for military police, military police investigators (MPIs), and United States (US) Army Criminal Investigations Command (USACIDC) special agents operating in all levels of tactical and garrison environments. This manual makes no distinction between the various levels of investigation, whether it is done by a uniformed military policeman, an MPI, or a USACIDC special agent. Where appropriate, this manual describes nationally recognized methods of investigation and evidence examination adopted from the Department of Justice (DOJ); Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF); National Association of Fire Investigators (NAFI); National Institute of Justice; and US Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL). In addition to the techniques and procedures described in this manual, Army law enforcement personnel are encouraged to seek guidance on police and investigative matters from other approved official law enforcement sources.

This aircrew training manual (ATM) standardizes aircrew training programs (ATPs) and flight evaluation procedures by providing specific guidelines for executing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) aircrew training. It is based on the battle-focused training principles outlined in FM 7-1. It establishes crewmember qualification, refresher, mission, and continuation training and evaluation requirements. This manual applies to all RQ-5, MQ-5, and RQ-7 crewmembers and their commanders. This manual, in conjunction with Army regulations, will help UAS commanders, at all levels; develop a comprehensive aircrew training program. By using the ATM, commanders ensure that individual and crew proficiency match their units' mission and that unmanned aircraft crewmembers (UACs) routinely employ standard techniques and procedures. UACs will use this manual as a "how to" source for performing crewmember duties. This manual provides performance standards and evaluation guidelines so that crewmembers know the level of performance expected. Each task has a description that describes how it should be done to meet the standard. Standardization officers, evaluators, and unit trainers will use this manual and Army Regulation (AR) 95-23 as the primary tools to assist the commander in developing and implementing this ATP. Technical Circular (TC) 1-210 does not apply to the UAS ATP. This TC applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.

This volume is one in a continuing series of books now being prepared by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under Country Studies/Area Handbook Program.

Battle Focused Training, FM 7-1, is the Army's doctrinal foundation for how to train, and it is applicable to all units and organizations of the Army. It explains how the Army assesses, plans, prepares, and executes training and leader development; it is critical to all the Army does. The goal of this manual is to create leaders who know how to think and apply enduring training principles to their units and organizations. FM 7-0 introduces the training cycle, the linkage of Army training and leader development, and the three domains where training occurs-the operational, institutional, and self-development domains. FM 7-1 defines The Army Training System, outlines who is responsible for training and training support, and describes how to conduct training. This top-to-bottom understanding of training-ranging from policy and resources allocation at Headquarters, Department of the Army to unit and organization methods-is critical to executing training successfully and to linking the three domains where training occurs. The training doctrine in this manual will shape Army training regulations and support unit and organization training plans. The emphasis is on teaching leaders to think through the training process, as opposed to simply following a prescribed method. There is no training model or strategy that can achieve warfighting readiness in a unit without intensive leadership to build both competence and confidence. FM 7-1 builds on task, condition, and standards-based training. Knowing the task, assessing the level of proficiency against the standard, and developing a sustaining or improving training plan is the essence of all Army training and development. But warfighting readiness is about more than just technical competence. It is about developing confidence through trust-soldier-to soldier, leader-to-led, and unit-to-unit-and the will to succeed. It is about leadership. Understanding how to conduct tough, realistic training at every echelon of the Army sets the foundation for successful multi echelon, joint, interagency, and coalition operations. Leaders train the unit and organizational capabilities required to fight and win across the full spectrum of operations. This manual provides leaders with the doctrinal guidelines for how to train, and is the basis for successful training and operations. Soldiers have never let the nation fail-it is essential to train soldiers and units to uphold the Army's nonnegotiable contract with the American people-to fight and win the nation's wars, decisively.

This regulation prescribes policy on the U.S. Army Reserve mission, its organization, and training.

Field Manual Interim 6-02.45 is the Army's doctrine for signal support at the theater level. It contains joint, Army, and proponent guidelines to support the entire signal spectrum of operations in the contemporary operational environment. This manual provides a doctrinal foundation for force design, combat development, professional education, and training of signal Soldiers. It establishes the importance of the LandWarNet, not only to the Soldiers' mission at the tactical levels, but also to the vital need at the theater commander's level. This manual provides information to leaders and planners on how signal assets and the LandWarNet support their operations.

This manual, "Opposing Force Operations (FM 7-100.1)," is one of a series that describes a contemporary Opposing Force (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. Together, these manuals outline an OPFOR than can cover the entire spectrum of military and paramilitary capabilities against which the Army must train to ensure success in any future conflict. This OPFOR reflects the characteristics of military and paramilitary forces that may be present in the contemporary operational environment (COE). Like those real-world threats, the OPFOR will continue to present new and different challenges for U.S. forces. The COE is constantly changing, and it is important for U.S. Army training environments to keep pace with real-world developments. Trainers should use appropriate parts of the OPFOR manuals to fill information gaps in a manner consistent with what they do know about a specific threat.

This manual, "The Army in Multinational Operations (FM 3-16)," provides a guide for Army commanders and staffs operating in a multinational environment. It applies across the full spectrum of military operations. It provides general information on important topics necessary for conducting multinational operations. However, it also lists questions that multinational partners need to address to improve their mission effectiveness and efficiency. Every multinational operation differs. The purpose, character, capabilities, composition, and scope of a multinational operation are functions of changing missions. These missions are magnified by the complexities of two or more armies operating together. Each member nation brings its own view and methods of operations. This manual blends key points of Joint Publication (JP) 3-16 into its approach to ensure considerations by Army elements of a joint force. It addresses the Army's roles and functions within a multinational operation. The focus is on responsibilities for conducting operations as part of a multinational force. It also addresses multinational leadership and provides examples of possible command relationships. Finally, it addresses planning considerations of the multinational commanders and their staffs. Information contained herein will help other national forces and other services plan and conduct multinational operations with U.S. Army forces. This manual takes into account the full continuum of operations and varying political objectives, force compositions, operating areas, and other factors. It also considers some general similarities in multinational operations. Because of varying compositions and varying political objectives, consensus is extremely difficult to obtain. Harmonization of the multinational force is critical to ensure unity of effort.

This manual, "Human Intelligence Collector Operations (FM 2-22.3 / 34-52)," provides doctrinal guidance, techniques, and procedures governing the employment of human intelligence (HUMINT) collection and analytical assets in support of the commander's intelligence needs. It outlines: HUMINT operations, The HUMINT collector's role within the intelligence operating system, The roles and responsibilities of the HUMINT collectors and the roles of those providing the command, control, and technical support of HUMINT collection operations. This manual expands upon the information contained in FM 2-0. It supersedes FM 34-52 and rescinds ST 2-22.7. It is consistent with doctrine in FM 3-0, FM 5-0, FM 6-0, and JP 2-0. In accordance with the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, the only interrogation approaches and techniques that are authorized for use against any detainee, regardless of status or characterization, are those authorized and listed in this Field Manual. Some of the approaches and techniques authorized and listed in this Field Manual also require additional specified approval before implementation. This manual will be reviewed annually and may be amended or updated from time to time to account for changes in doctrine, policy, or law, and to address lessons learned. This manual provides the doctrinal guidance for HUMINT collectors and commanders and staffs of the MI organizations responsible for planning and executing HUMINT operations. This manual also serves as a reference for personnel developing doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP); materiel and force structure; institutional and unit training; and standing operating procedures (SOPs), for HUMINT operations at all army echelons. In accordance with TRADOC Regulation 25-36, the doctrine in this field manual is not policy (in and of itself), but is "...a body of thought on how Army forces operate....[It] provides an authoritative guide for leaders and soldiers, while allowing freedom to adapt to circumstances."

This publication (Field Manual [FM] 3-60, The Targeting Process) describes the targeting process used by the United States Army. The FM 3-60 is descriptive and not prescriptive in nature. This manual has applicability in any theater of operations. The manual offers considerations for commanders and staffers in preparing for challenges with targeting, yet it is flexible enough to adapt to dynamic situation. FM 3-60 replaces FM 6-20-10, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for the Targeting Process. The development and research of FM 3-60 parallels similar ongoing efforts by other Army proponents to develop their own supporting branch doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures for the division, support brigades, brigade combat teams, and subordinate elements.

Field Manual (FM) 5-424, "Theater of Operations Electrical Systems," is intended for use as a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel who are responsible for planning and executing theater of operations (TO) construction. The five parts of this manual provide practical information for military personnel in the design, layout, installation and maintenance of exterior and interior electrical wiring and power generation systems.

This manual, "Water Supply in Theaters of Operations (FM 10-52)," is a guide for commanders, staff officers, and other persons concerned with planning, organizing, and operating an Army water supply system in a TO. Concepts and doctrine are presented to enable the planner to design a water purification, storage, and distribution system that will ensure units can provide necessary water support to US forces. The doctrine in this manual is oriented toward operations in a tactical theater and in field training exercises. Water supply at fixed and semifixed installations and in peacetime garrison operations is a Corps of Engineers responsibility and is discussed in depth in the TM 5-813 "Water Supply" series manuals and FM 5-104. Doctrine for the development of operation of a theater water supply system is discussed separately or arid and nonarid regions in both developed and undeveloped theaters. Doctrine for the employment and operation of water point equipment will be in FM 10-52-1. Planning factors for water supply in arctic, arid, temperate, and tropical climates are presented for use by logistics planners. Responsibilities for the command, control, and operation of water units in the theater are discuss in detail. Potable water quality standards and surveillance practices are presented. Procedures for management and accountability of water supplies are discussed. The systems described are applicable in LIC, conventional warfare, and operations in an NBC environment on the integrated AirLand battlefield.

Field Manual 46-1 is the keystone doctrinal manual for U.S. Army Public Affairs operations. It focuses on how the Army thinks about public affairs and describes public affairs roles, missions, capabilities and organizations for the active Army, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard. It also describes public affairs employment, command and control, and support across the operational continuum. This manual is the basis for Public Affairs force design and materiel acquisition. It supports the doctrinal requirements of the Concept Based Requirements System and is the authoritative foundation for the integration of Public Affairs into Army doctrine, individual and unit training, leader development force design and materiel acquisition initiatives. FM 46-1 is directly linked to, and must be used in conjunction with FM 100-5, FM 100-6, TRADOC PAM 525-5 and Joint Publication 1-07. FM 46-1 is the doctrinal guide for commanders, planners, and users of Army Public Affairs. It is also a guide for those who must consider the effects public affairs has on military operations. It describes the fundamental principles and concepts for providing information to a wide range of internal and external audiences-soldiers, family members, retirees, political leaders, the general public, allies and adversaries.

This manual, "Mortar Fire Direction Procedures" (TC 3-22.91 / FM 3-22.91), provides guidance for military occupational specialty (MOS) 11C Soldiers and their trainers on the employment of the 60-mm mortars (M224), 81-mm mortar (M252), and 120-mm mortar (M120). It discusses the practical applications of ballistics and a system combining the principles, techniques, and procedures essential to the delivery of timely and accurate mortar fire.

This FM provides the doctrinal basis and the responsibilities, relationships, procedures, capabilities, constraints, and planning considerations for the conduct of engineer underwater operations throughout an area of operations (AO). Its primary purpose is to integrate engineer underwater operations into the overall sustainment and mobility engineering structure. The doctrine presented is applicable for joint interagency and multinational environments in the full spectrum of operations. Army Regulation (AR) 25-30 mandates that all Army programs and functions will use the metric system. To ensure compliance with this requirement, an English-to-metric measurement conversion chart is provided in Appendix A.

Army doctrine reference publication (ADRP) 5-0 augments the principles of the operations process found in Army doctrine publication (ADP) 5-0, The Operations Process. It provides an expanded discussion of planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations. Together with ADP 5-0, this ADRP establishes a common frame of reference and language that commanders and staffs use for the exercise of mission command. To comprehend the doctrine contained in ADRP 5-0, readers must first understand the foundations of unified land operations described in ADP 3-0, Unified Land Operations. In addition, readers must fully understand the principles of mission command described in ADP 6-0, Mission Command. For a detailed explanation of the tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with the operations process, see Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (ATTP) 5-0.1, Commander and Staff Officer Guide. The principal audience for ADRP 5-0 includes Army commanders, leaders, and unit staffs (officers, noncommissioned officers, and Soldiers). Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations as well as joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, host nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement.

In a theater of operations, all modes of transport--air, rail, inland waterways, and motor--are used to move personnel, cargo, and unit equipment. Of these modes, motor transport is the most flexible. Motor transport supports movement requirements ranging from port clearance, tactical displacement, and distribution and retrograde of supplies and equipment throughout the depth of the battlefield. It also serves as the link between the other modes to support combat forces as far forward as possible. This manual, "Army Motor Transport Units and Operations (FM 55-30)," describes how motor transport units operate and the environment in which they operate. It incorporates changes to warfighting and support doctrine and equipment modernization. While this manual is designed primarily for motor transport units, the tactics, techniques, and procedures for convoy operations apply to most Army units under most operational conditions. The Army's environmental strategy into the 21st century defines our philosophy and commitment in protecting and preserving the environment and natural resources for present and future generations. Sound environmental practices and considerations must be integrated into all Army documents, missions, and operations. In keeping with the Army's vision to be a national leader in environmental stewardship, commanders and leaders must ensure that all local, state, federal, and host nation laws and regulations pertaining to the environment are included in the planning process and strictly followed. This publication implements the following international agreements: STANAG 2041 (Edition 4), Operation Orders, Tables and Graphs for Road Movement, STANAG 2154 (Edition 7), Regulations for Military Motor Vehicle Movement by Road, STANAG 2174 (Edition 4), Military Routes and Route/Road Networks, STANAG 2176 (Edition 2), Procedures for Military Road Movement Across National Frontiers.

Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 3-0, Unified Land Operations, is the first ADRP released under Doctrine 2015. ADRP 3-0 expands on the foundations and tenets found in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-0. This ADRP expands on the doctrine of unified land operations found in ADP 3-0. The publication of ADP 3-0 shifted the Army's operational concept from full spectrum operations to unified land operations. The doctrine of unified land operations describes how the Army demonstrates its core competencies of combined arm maneuver and wide area security through decisive action. The term decisive action replaces the term full spectrum operations as the concept of continuous, simultaneous offense, defense, stability, or defense support of civil authorities. Defense support of civil authorities replaces civil support as a task under decisive action. ADRP 3-0 expands the discussion of the foundations and tenets of unified land operations, as well as the operational framework found in ADP 3-0. Additional changes in ADRP 3-0 from the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, includes a discussion of the range of military operations replacing the spectrum of conflict as well as a discussion of information collection replacing intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (known as ISR). These changes in ADRP 3-0 now better align Army doctrine with the joint discussion of the principles of joint operations. ADRP 3-0 remains generally consistent with the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts as necessary. These topics include the discussion of an operational environment and the operational and mission variables, as well as the discussions of unified action, law of land warfare, and combat power. As in the now obsolete 2011, FM 3-0, Change 1, mission command remains both a philosophy of command and a warfighting function. Finally, ADRP 3-0 maintains combined arms as the application of arms that multiplies Army forces' effectiveness in all operations. ADRP 3-0 contains four chapters: Chapter 1 shortens the discussion of the operational environment found on the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, and emphasizes military operations. This chapter provides a framework of variables of an operational environment that shape their nature and affect outcomes. The chapter then discusses unified action and joint operations as well as land operations. Finally, this chapter discusses law of land warfare and combined arms. Chapter 2 introduces the Army's new operational concept of unified land operations. It discusses how commanders apply landpower as part of unified action to defeat the enemy on land and establish conditions that achieve the joint force commander's end state. Chapter 2 discusses how commanders demonstrate the Army's new core competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide area security conducted through decisive action. Chapter 3 discusses combat power and the warfighting functions used to generate combat power in support of unified land operations. As in the now obsolete 2011 FM 3-0, Change 1, chapter 3 discusses the eight elements of combat power that include the six warfighting functions with leadership and information. Lastly, it discusses how Army forces achieve combined arms through force tailoring, task organization, and mutual support. Chapter 4 discusses the elements of operational art and the meaning of operational art to Army forces. It elaborates on commanders and staffs applying the elements of operational art to understand, visualize, and describe how to establish conditions to achieve a desired end state. It discusses how operational art represents a creative approach to dealing with the direction of military forces and expresses an informed vision across the levels of war.

Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 4-0 augments the sustainment doctrine established in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 4-0, Sustainment. This manual expands the discussion on the overarching guidance on sustainment in ADRP 3-0, Unified Land Operations. It constitutes the Army's view of how it supports prompt and sustained operations on land and sets the foundation for developing the other principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrine publications. It also forms the basis for Army training and education system curricula. The principal audience for ADRP 4-0 is commanders, leaders, and staff. It is also applicable to civilian leadership of the Army. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as a joint task force or a multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations as well as joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.

"Destruction of Chemical Munitions at Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky - Final Environmental Impact Statement - Volume II - Appendix K" (see also "Volume I (Main Report and Appendices A-J)") Public Law 99-145 and subsequent related legislation requires destruction of the U.S. stockpile of lethal unitary chemical agents and munitions. Furthermore, in 1993 an international treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), was signed by 65 nations, including the United States. The CWC, which set the deadline for completing destruction of chemical weapons as 10 years following ratification by the required number of nations, received the necessary ratifications on April 29,1997. Thus, the international deadline for destruction of chemical weapons is April 29, 2007. The Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program has prepared this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) to assess the potential health and environmental impacts of the construction, operation, and closure of a facility to destroy the chemical agent and munitions stored at Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD), Kentucky. Four alternatives are addressed in this FEIS for possible use in destruction of the BGAD stockpile: (1) baseline incineration, which is currently in use by the Army at Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD), Utah and was used by the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS) to destroy the entire stockpile on Johnston Atoll; (2) chemical neutralization followed by supercritical water oxidation, a developing technology that would be initially operated as a pilot test facility; (3) chemical neutralization followed by supercritical water oxidation and gas phase chemical reduction, a developing technology that would be initially operated as a pilot test facility; and (4) electrochemical oxidation, which is also under development and would be initially operated as a pilot test facility. The latter three alternatives have also been evaluated in a separate EIS prepared by the Army Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment Program (ACWA) as part of four chemical neutralization technologies being considered for pilot testing at BGAD and three other chemical munitions storage locations. The data and information obtained from testing and full-scale operation of the incineration technology, and available data and information from on-going studies of the technologies provided by ACWA are analyzed and compared to the extent possible in this FEIS.

The Army has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last five years. It has become a modular "brigade-based" Army that is more responsive to combatant commander's needs. It better employs joint capabilities, facilitates force packaging and rapid deployment, and fights as self-contained units in non-linear, non-contiguous operations. Evolving from a rigid, multiecheloned formation to a more flexible, centralized structure that eliminates redundancy and streamlines support by removing unnecessary layers while remaining responsive to the needs of a joint and expeditionary Army. This publication provides fundamental guidance for the employment of the theater sustainment command (TSC) and expeditionary sustainment command (ESC) to command and control Army deployment and sustainment operations conducted in support of joint and multinational operations across the spectrum of conflict. Field Manual (FM) 4-94, "Theater Sustainment Command," establishes Army doctrine for operational-level deployment and sustainment by providing overarching doctrinal direction for Army operations conducted in support of full spectrum operations detailed in other Army manuals. This edition of FM 4-94, the first revision since 2003, describes the TSC and how it relates to the combatant command as part of the modular Army. This manual will fill an immediate need, providing commanders and their staff with the doctrinal tools to succeed. In its current form, this manual provides the intellectual underpinnings that lie at the core of how a TSC and its subordinates operate. It gives an understanding of the modular logistics structure and how to apply effective command and control. By reading this FM, commanders and their staffs will be familiar with the TSC mission, organization, roles and key tasks to perform.

This manual (FMI 6-02.60) provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for the Joint Network Node-Network (JNN-N) in the predeployment, deployment planning, and management to support military operations and training. The scope of this manual includes descriptions of the JNN-N components and their functions, applications, procedures, planning, management, and maintenance providing a user reference guide to support the deployment and operation of the JNN-N in support of the digitized force. When applicable, the reader is referred to the appropriate technical manuals and other documentation for more detailed information on subject matter beyond the scope of this manual.

This regulation prescribes policies, procedures, and responsibilities for developing, managing, and conducting Army training and leader development.

This field manual establishes doctrine (fundamental principles) for tactical counterinsurgency (COIN) operations at the company, battalion, and brigade level. It is based on lessons learned from historic counterinsurgencies and current operations. This manual continues the efforts of FM 3-24, Counterinsurgency, in combining the historic approaches to COIN with the realities of today's operational environment (OE)-an environment modified by a population explosion, urbanization, globalization, technology, the spread of religious fundamentalism, resource demand, climate change and natural disasters, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This manual is generic in its geographic focus and should be used with other doctrinal sources.

This manual, "Rifle Marksmanship M16-/M4-Series Weapons," provides guidance for planning and executing training on the 5.56-millimeter M16-series rifle (M16A1/A2/A3/A4) and M4 carbine. It is a guide for commanders, leaders, and instructors to develop training programs, plans, and lessons that meet the objectives or intent of the United States Army rifle marksmanship program and FM 7-0. This manual is organized to lead the trainer through the material needed to conduct training during initial entry training (IET) and unit sustainment training. Preliminary subjects include discussion on the weapon's capabilities, mechanical training, and the fundamentals and principles of rifle marksmanship. Live-fire applications are scheduled after the Soldier has demonstrated preliminary skills.

Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. This manual, "Theater Army Operations" (FM3-93), discusses the organization and operations of the theater army headquarters, including its role as the Army Service component command (ASCC) to the geographic combatant commander (GCC) and the relationships between the theater army headquarters and the theater enabling commands. The manual also discusses theater army responsibilities for setting the theater, Title 10 functions and responsibilities, generally referred to as the combatant commander's daily operations requirements, as well as the operational employment of the theater army's contingency command post (CCP) to directly mission command limited types of operations.

This publication, "Human Resources Support (FM 1-0)," provides fundamental principles to help guide actions, make decisions, and establish policies in support of national objectives. Field Manual (FM) 1-0 is the Army's single source of doctrine for Human Resources (HR) Support. It describes HR doctrine and how it fits into the Army's current and future operational concept across the full spectrum of conflict. Execution of this doctrine requires well-trained, values-based Soldiers imbued in the Warrior Ethos who are capable of operating in a Joint or unified environment. FM 1-0 promotes a common understanding of HR support fundamentals. This manual does not dictate procedures for any particular operational scenario, nor does it provide specific system procedures for HR enablers. It provides the doctrinal base for developing operation plans (OPLANs) and standing operating procedures (SOPs). Leaders and HR operators at all levels must apply these fundamentals using Army planning and decision making processes. This publication is an authoritative guide that requires judgment in application. As the Army continues transformation to brigade-centric operations, HR support operations remain relevant and agile by capitalizing on technological advancements and system capabilities to provide timely and accurate information to commanders. These changes include how we are organized, how we are supported, and how we support other units. This approach allows HR providers to understand their responsibilities while executing traditional functions more responsively at lower unit levels. All previous functions remain intact, but have been consolidated into four HR core competencies that encompass all HR functions and tasks. The competencies are: Man the Force, Provide HR Services, Coordinate Personnel Support, and Conduct HR Planning and Operations. This change reflects a detailed analysis of critical HR tasks as they relate to operational and tactical environments and aligns HR tasks with those contained in the upcoming FM 7-15, The Army Universal Task List (AUTL). Chapter 1 describes HR objectives, enduring principles, discusses the core competencies and essential functions of HR Support, and describes the HR community command and control relationships with the sustainment community. Chapter 2 describes standard requirements code (SRC) 12 and other organizations that provide HR support, how they are organized, and their support requirements. Chapter 3 describes the core competency of Man the Force and includes the functions of Personnel Readiness Management (PRM), Personnel Accountability (PA), Strength Reporting (SR), Retention Operations, and Personnel Information Management (PIM). Chapter 4 describes the core competency of Provide HR Services and discusses Essential Personnel Services (EPS) (to include military pay transactions), Postal Operations, and Casualty Operations. Chapter 5 discusses the core competency of Coordinate Personnel Support and includes those tasks which battalion S-1s and above are required to coordinate. It also briefly describes Band Operations. Chapter 6 discusses the core competency of Conduct HR Planning and Operations and includes Operations of HR Command and Control Nodes, establishing SOPs and operation orders (OPORDs), and HR staff operations. The appendices are planning and management tools for conducting HR rear detachment operations, theater opening and redeployment, casualty estimations, and civilian support.
