The United States Army Civil Affairs forces are the Department of Defense's primary force specifically trained and educated to shape foreign political-military environments by working through and with host nations, regional partners, and indigenous populations. These forces, and the operations they conduct, are the commander's asset to purposefully engage nonmilitary organizations, institutions, and populations. The U.S. military can expect escalating challenges from ever-increasing operations in complex civil-military environments. Commanders at all levels must pursue integrated whole-of-government approaches to successfully engage the civil dimension of the modern battlefield. As such, CA forces offer unique capabilities that not only enhance the military mission but also ultimately advance U.S. interests. Properly employed CA forces help shape the environment and set the conditions for transition operations. Appendix A provides additional information on transition operations. CAO involve the interaction of CA forces with the civilian populace and institutions to facilitate military operations and consolidate operational objectives. A supportive civilian population can provide resources and information that facilitate friendly operations. It can provide a positive climate for the military and for the nation to pursue diplomatic activities that achieve foreign policy objectives. A hostile civilian population threatens the immediate operations of in-country friendly forces and often undermines public support and the policy objectives of the United States and its allies. Properly executed CAO reduces the friction between the civilian population and the military force, and accelerates the return of civil functions to indigenous control. Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations, provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of operations in support of the joint force commander's (JFC's) civil-military operations (CMO) concept. It provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capability in support of unified land operations. FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in support of CMO with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces support missions in every theater, in peace and war, throughout unified land operations. CA forces are a combat multiplier for every commander. CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist him in dealing with the complex and ever-changing civil component of the operational environment. CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess the JFC's concept for CMO. They are essential elements in the support of the commander by virtue of their area and linguistic orientation, cultural awareness, training in military to host nation (HN) advisory activities, and civilian professional skills that parallel common government functions.

This regulation provides compre- hensive rules governing the ethical conduct of Army lawyers, military and civilian, and of non-government lawyers appearing before Army tribunals in accordance with the Man- ual for Courts-Martial. It establishes the De- partment of the Army Professional Conduct Council to provide authoritative interpretations of these rules.

The AHS (Army Health System) is a component of the Military Health System (MHS) that is responsible for operational management of the health service support (HSS) and force health protection (FHP) missions for training, predeployment, deployment, and postdeployment operations. The Army's MEDLOG system (including blood management) is an integral part of the AHS in that it provides intensive management of medical products and services that are used almost exclusively by the AHS and are critical to its success. Also key to this success is the delivery of a MEDLOG capability that anticipates the needs of the customer and is tailored to continuously provide end-to-end sustainment of the AHS mission throughout full spectrum operations. Providing timely and effective AHS support is a team effort which integrates the clinical and operational aspects of the mission. The provision of MEDLOG support requires collaboration between the medical logisticians, clinicians, and other health care providers within the operational environment and encompasses the following functions: Medical materiel procurement and distribution (acquisition, receiving, shipping, storage, and stock record/property accounting); Medical equipment maintenance and repair; Optical fabrication and repair; Management of patient movement items; Production of medical gases; Blood storage and distribution; Medical hazardous waste management; Management of medical facilities and infrastructure; Medical contracting support; Total product life-cycle management of medical materiel and equipment. This manual describes the capabilities of the MEDLOG system and its role in sustaining the AHS mission. Medical logistics support for deployed forces is the primary focus of this manual. However, generating force or national strategic-level MEDLOG support is also addressed to present a clear picture of the processes involved and resources expended to guarantee a Class VIII support infrastructure. This Class VIII infrastructure ensures the seamless delivery of health care from the point of injury through successive roles of care to the continental US (CONUS) support base. This publication opens with an overview of Army MEDLOG, followed by a description of each MEDLOG unit, the capabilities available, and role of care where each element may be employed. This manual also covers the information systems and enablers available to facilitate the flow of supplies and equipment throughout the area of operations (AO), as well as the current force (Medical Force 2000, Medical Reengineering Initiative, modular division, and brigade combat team [BCT] force designs) and emerging concepts scheduled to occur as part of current and future force fielding events.

This publication, "Division and Brigade Surgeons (TM) Handbook (Digitized) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures," provides information on the structure and operation of the division and brigade headquarters medical staff. It is directed toward the surgeons and staff members of the division surgeon's section (DSS) and brigade surgeon's section (BSS). This field manual (FM) outlines the responsibilities of the division and brigade surgeons and their staffs for the heavy conservative divisions (digitized). It provides tactics, techniques, and procedures for directing, controlling, and managing combat health support (CHS) within the division. It describes the interface required of the DSS and BSS, other division elements, and the interface with supporting corps medical elements in accomplishing the CHS mission. It further defines each cell of the DSS and BSS. This manual is the foundation for the continued development and refinement of division CHS doctrinal fundamentals, tactics, techniques, and procedures for Army XXI. In that alight, it serves as conceptual "mark on the wall" for thinking about experimenting with and employing new right-sized medical units/elements in the Army XXI light infantry, airborne and air assault divisions, separate brigades, and armored cavalry regiments.

"Field Hygiene and Sanitation" (TC 4-02.3, FM 21-10/MCRP 4-11.1D), provides hygiene and sanitation guidance for Soldiers in the field and while deployed. The publication outlines individual and leader responsibilities and describes individual and leader preventive medicine measures and guidance for Soldiers. Implementation of the techniques presented in this publication enable individual Soldiers to remain healthy in the field and enable commanders to maintain a fit and healthy force capable of accomplishing the mission in any environment.

FM 1-06, "Financial Management Operations," is the Army's keystone manual for Financial Management (FM). Its purpose is to provide the authoritative doctrine on how FM supports the full spectrum of operations as a component of the theater sustainment warfighting function. It expands on existing doctrine introduced in FM 4-0, Sustainment, to incorporate a broader approach to supporting the fighting force. The intent of this manual is to describe how FM complements combat power, supports strategic and operational reach, and enables endurance. This manual provides the foundation of FM doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities development to support the modular Army, and establishes how FM operations are integrated and synchronized into the overall operations process - plan, prepare, execute and assess. The term "Financial Management" refers to both finance operations (FO) and resource management (RM) responsibilities. The fundamental purpose of the Army is to provide joint force commanders with sustained and decisive land forces necessary to fight and win the nation's wars. Focused FM support that is responsive, flexible, and precise is crucial to the Army's ability to rapidly project power with the most capable forces at the decisive time and place. FM must provide support during the simultaneous execution of the elements of full spectrum operations: offense, defense, stability, or civil support. The manual recognizes that FM is provided by active and reserve components, Department of Defense and Department of the Army civilians, joint, and multinational assets. This manual also recognizes that FM, like other sustainment functions, is a commander's combat multiplier, and must be involved throughout the entire military decisionmaking process. It is managed, executed, and assessed through all stages to enable commanders to execute and sustain full spectrum operations. The intended audiences for the manual are: (1) commanders at all levels, to provide a universal understanding of how FM is organized and functions to sustain Army, joint, interagency, intergovernmental, nongovernmental, and multinational forces (interorganizational partners); (2) sustainment community, staffs, and doctrinal proponents, to institutionalize the integration of FM into all Army components, and interorganizational partners' missions; and (3) Soldiers at all levels and within all branches of the Army, to provide a broad knowledge of the FM structure and functions. Army headquarters serving as a joint force land component command or a joint task force headquarters should also refer to JP 1-06, Financial Management Support in Joint Operations.

Rather than providing rote solutions, this manual, "The Infantry Rifle Company (FM 3-21.10 / 7-10)," provides a doctrinal framework of principles; tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP); terms; and symbols for the employment of the Infantry rifle company. This framework will help Infantry rifle company leaders effectively--Exploit capabilities unique to the Infantry; Reduce the vulnerability of the unit; Plan and conduct full-spectrum operations; Accomplish their missions in various tactical situations, from stability and civil support to high-intensity combat; Win on the battlefield. The Infantry companies of the SBCT and HBCT mostly use the same doctrine, but cover more specific doctrine in their own manuals. The main target audience for this manual includes Infantry rifle company commanders, executive officers, first sergeants, platoon sergeants and platoon leaders. Military instructors, evaluators, training and doctrine developers will also find it useful, as will other Infantry company commanders (HHC and weapons company), Infantry battalion staff officers, service school instructors, and commissioning source instructors.

This manual, "Crew-Served Machine Guns: 5.56-and 7.62 mm (FM 3-22.68)," provides a single source of technical information, training techniques, guidance for using, and integration into combat operations of three crew-served machine guns, the 5.56-mm and 7.62-mm M60, M240B, and M249. For quick reference, this publication includes an appendix with all of the firing tables collocated. Trainers must ensure that everyone observes safety procedures at all times. Leaders, trainers, and Soldiers must remember: safety is everyone's full-time responsibility. They must conduct all training as though each weapon is fully loaded. In training, safety is always more important than speed or accuracy.

The three engineer disciplines are combat (with the capabilities and activities of mobility, countermobility, and survivability [M/CM/S]), general, and geospatial engineering. These disciplines include significant reconnaissance capabilities. The three engineer disciplines include extensive discussion on integrating the planning for, and conduct of, engineer reconnaissance support within the tactical operations of the combined arms team. This publication discusses the capability resident within combat engineer units to form and employ engineer reconnaissance teams (ERTs). It also describes the capability resident within general engineer elements to form and employ ERTs, augment combat engineer ERTs, or provide assessment and survey teams. Finally, geospatial engineering enables reconnaissance and may play a large role, especially during the planning process. Engineer reconnaissance, like chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and other technical applications, is not a form of reconnaissance. Engineer reconnaissance is a focused application of special or unique capabilities supporting reconnaissance, and it is applicable to all forms of reconnaissance. The engineer disciplines provide reconnaissance capabilities that vary in linkages to warfighting functions, degrees of technical expertise, and effort applied to the assigned mission and tasks. Engineer reconnaissance is directly linked to geospatial intelligence because combat and general engineer units use technical measuring or survey devices to confirm, correct, or update the accuracy of available geospatial information. After analysis and comparison against other intelligence collections, this updated geospatial information becomes intelligence, which feeds the commander's decisionmaking process. The engineer contribution to operational success is highly desired by the commander. Demands for engineer reconnaissance support will often exceed capabilities. These capabilities are spread thin, and they compete with the commander's needs for other engineer applications. The same engineer elements and capabilities are often required for each of these areas. Resolution of these competing priorities is one of the goals of the planning process. The staff-running estimate is created during mission analysis, and the engineer staff planner identifies the specified and implied engineer tasks (more than M/CM/S) and their associated purposes. This results in the recommendation of essential tasks for M/CM/S to the supported commander. Finally, this publication is written with the acknowledgement that the operational environment is more variable now. Engineers must be prepared to go into any operational environment and perform a full range of reconnaissance tasks in support of the maneuver commander while dealing with a wide range of threats and other influences. It builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through nearly a dozen years of sustained military operations and exercises. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.

This regulation establishes responsibility and provides procedures for the appointment of commissioned and warrant officers in the Reserve Components of the Army. This regulation does not govern appointments of Reserve general officer grades (AR 135-156), Army Medical Department commissioned officers (AR 135-101), graduates of senior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) units (AR 145-1), graduates of officer candidate schools (AR 351-5 and AR 140-50), or warrant officer reappointment courses (AR 56-9).

The purpose of this handbook is to assist Army inventors in protecting their inventions. It is intended to answer simply and briefly the questions which Army inventors normally have concerning their inventions. The Intellectual Property Division is the office for the control, coordination, and liaison of all patent and related activities of the Department of the Army under the direction of The Judge Advocate General. Forms of intellectual property handled by this division include patents, trademarks, copyrights, and rights in technical data. The activities performed with respect to intellectual property include patent searching, patent prosecution (domestic and foreign), patent licensing, recordation of patent assignments and licenses granted to or by the Army, determination of intellectual property rights, infringement and procurement matters, litigation and international law matters relating to intellectual property.

This manual, "Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Quartermaster Field Service Company, Direct Support (FM 42-414)," describes the mission, organization, and operations of both companies in terms of performing SLCRs as section/team concept under the SLCR platoons for the QM FSC, M. New doctrinal concepts supporting this structural idea for the QM FSCs are included in this manual and at the same time, providing field service applications in today's setup. However, this manual implements a new way of performing the mission by the QM FSC, DS as it materializes into the new QM FSC, M in supporting the U. S. Army into the twenty-first century. This manual is for all QM FSC personnel. All soldiers should use this manual along with FMs 10-1, 10-27-2, and 63 series. FM 42-414 is meant to be a doctrinal guide, not a precision directive.

This Army tactics, techniques, and procedures (ATTP) publication, "Commander and Staff Officer Guide," reinforces the fundamentals of mission command established in field manual (FM) 3-0, Operations; FM 5-0, The Operations Process; and FM 6-0, Mission Command. Whereas the above manuals focus on the fundamentals of mission command, this manual provides commanders and staff officers with tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) essential for the exercise of mission command. This is a new Army publication. It includes many of the appendices currently found in FM 5-0 and FM 6-0 that addressed the "how to" of mission command. By consolidating this material into a single publication, Army leaders now have a single reference to assist them with TTP associated with planning, preparing for, executing, and continually assessing operations. This ATTP also enables the Army to better focus the material in future editions of FMs 5-0 and 6-0 on the fundamentals of the operations process and mission command, respectively.

ATP 4-42, "General Supply and Field Services Operation," provides guidance for commanders, supervisors, Soldiers and other personnel involved in providing general supplies and field services during deployed operations. This manual is the operational level description the provision of general supplies and selected field service functions. It addresses these operations from the theater sustainment command (TSC) level, where the critical sustainment handover occurs from strategic agencies and commands, down to the tactical level, including applicable operations of the brigade support battalion (BSB). ATP 4-42 provides logisticians and field commanders an understanding of general supply and selected field services functional principles, organizations, and associated guidance. It provides basic doctrinal discussion on the organization and operations of Quartermaster general supply and field services units. The focus of Army techniques publication (ATP) 4-42 is operational and tactical level general supply and field services operations which are conducted in support of Army forces in a deployed environment. It discusses these functions through the various support levels of multi-functional and Quartermaster logistics units. From a supporting commander's perspective, it provides information on the functions of general supplies and field services to allow that commander to understand better how to execute support to the force. From a supported commander's perspective, it provides information on the types of support available in order to allow proper planning.

FM 17-95, "Cavalry Operations," is the Army's doctrinal manual for cavalry operations. It is primarily designed to assist cavalry commanders, their staffs, and subordinate troop and company commanders in the conduct of combat operations. It also serves as a guide for corps, division, and brigade commanders, and their staffs. This manual discusses the organization, capabilities, and employment of cavalry units. This manual applies to the armored cavalry regiment (ACR) and all division cavalry squadrons (armored, light, air). While the focus is on regiment and squadron, principles and fundamentals presented apply to all subordinate troops and companies and separate cavalry troops. FM 17-95 sets forth doctrinal principles that guide the conduct of cavalry operations. It addresses specific tactics, techniques, or procedures as necessary to clarify or emphasize these doctrinal principles. Field manuals and mission training plans that support this manual contain more specifics on tactics, techniques, and procedures. Users must apply this doctrine within the capabilities and limitations of their units and develop standing operating procedures that address specific techniques and procedures.

The purpose of this publication, "Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Observed Fire (FM 6-30)," is to explain observed fire procedures used by units in combat and to explain how observed fire training is conducted in peacetime to meet combat requirements. The material presented herein applies to both nuclear and nonnuclear warfare. This publication discusses observed fire procedures, with the firing unit using both manual and automated fire direction techniques. The observed fire procedures are usually the same; only those instances in which differences occur are indicated, Digital and automated observed fire procedures are discussed in the appendixes. This publication covers only technical observed fire procedures, the operational and organizational aspects of employing observers are discussed in other publications, particularly in the FM 6-20 series manuals. The target audience for this publication is the field artillery fire support team (FIST) personnel and other fire support observers, to include aerial fire support observers (AFSOs), combat observation/lasing teams (COLSTs), infantry scouts, and personnel who may become involved in rear area combat operations.

This regulation covers policies, procedures, and responsibilities for the protection of the United States personnel who may be subject to foreign jurisdiction, proceedings, or imprisonment.

This regulation covers policy and procedures for assigning, attaching, removing, and transferring U.S. Army Reserve soldiers. It defines Ready Reserve Control Groups and the Selected Reserve. Detailed procedures are given for removing soldiers from an active status. It also gives procedures for interservice transfer and selective retention of unit soldiers.

The purpose of this field manual (FM 5-415), "Fire-Fighting Operations," is to give a commander and members of fire-fighting teams direction on deploying and using engineer fire-fighting teams. Engineer fire-fighting teams will provide fire-prevention/-protection, aircraftcrash/ rescue, natural-cover, and hazardous-material (HAZMAT) (incident) responses within a theater of operations (TO). Normally, there will not be enough fire-fighting assets within the TO. Therefore, commanders must prioritize assets and facilities that are mission-essential and deploy fire-fighting assets accordingly. This manual will not provide the answer to every possible incident scenario. It will, however, provide a commander and fire-fighting teams the knowledge to make informed, timely, and confident decisions at an incident. If more specific technical guidance is needed, individuals should acquire the appropriate technical order, technical manual, or International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA) manual.

This manual, TC 7-100.4, "Hybrid Threat Force Structure Organization Guide," is part of the 7-100 series, which describes the Hybrid Threat that exists for the purpose of training U.S. forces for potential combat operations. The Hybrid Threat reflects the characteristics of military and irregular forces that may be present in the operational environment (OE). Like those real-world threats, the Threat will continue to present new and different challenges for U.S. forces. The OE is constantly changing, and it is important for U.S. Army training environments to keep pace with real-world developments. This manual describes the Hybrid Threat Force Structure (HTFS) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. It outlines a Hybrid Threat than can cover the entire spectrum of military and irregular capabilities against which the Army must train to ensure success in any future conflict. Applications for this series of TCs include field training, training simulations, and classroom instruction throughout the Army. All Army training venues should use a HTFS based on these TCs, except when mission rehearsal or contingency training requires maximum fidelity to a specific country-based threat or enemy. Even in the latter case, trainers should use appropriate parts of the Hybrid Threat TCs to fill information gaps in a manner consistent with what they do know about a specific threat or enemy.

"Unit Field Sanitation Team," is to provide doctrine and training procedures for unit field sanitation teams (FST). In addition, a training program in the application of personal protective measures (PPM) is included for personnel appointed as members of the FST for each company, troop, or battery. Army Techniques Publication 4-25.12 remains generally consistent with Field Manual 4-25.12 on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts as necessary. These topics include discussion of operational and mission variables which commanders must consider when determining the need for more trained field sanitation teams to support the Soldiers when deploying. The material presented in this publication reflects enduring practices of basic field hygiene and sanitation and preventive medicine measures. Implementation of these techniques and procedures enable commanders to preserve the health of their Soldiers in order for them to accomplish their mission.

"Airdrop of Supplies And Equipment: Rigging 5-Ton Trucks," (TM 4-48.06/FM 10-526), provides doctrinal guidance on the approved procedures on how to prepare and rig a 5-ton cargo truck on a 24-foot, type V airdrop platform with six G-11C cargo parachutes and other items of airdrop equipment to be delivered by low-velocity airdrop from C-130 or C-17 aircraft. The principal audience for TM 4-48.06 is all members of the profession of arms. 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 and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army and the Air Force will also use this publication.

This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.

Field manual (FM) 3-13, "Inform and Influence Activities," provides doctrinal guidance and directions for conducting inform and influence activities (IIA) and discusses the importance of information in operational environments. It describes the Army's view of how IIA aid the commander to gain an advantage through information. It develops the other principles, tactics, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrinal publications. The publication does not address every information-related capability commanders can use to help shape their complex operational environments. It should, however, generate introspection and provide just enough guidance to facilitate flexibility and innovative approaches for commanders to execute the art of command to inform and influence. It also provides guidance to the staff to conduct IIA to achieve the desired effects that support the commander's intent and objectives. Commanders designate an information-related capability and are only limited by available resources.

Training Circular (TC) 4-02.1, "First Aid," provides first aid techniques and guidance for Soldiers. Implementation of the techniques presented in this publication enable Soldiers to render first aid and prevent greater harm to injured Soldiers. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, nonmedical Soldiers must rely on themselves and other Soldiers' skills and knowledge of first aid methods to render aid until medical assistance arrives. First aid is given until medical care provided by medically trained personnel such as a combat medic or other health care provider arrives. The individual being provided first aid (by self-aid, buddy aid, or combat lifesaver) is considered a casualty. Once medically trained personnel (combat medic, paramedic, or other health care provider) initiates care, the casualty is then considered to be a patient. Training Circular 4-02.1 provides first aid procedures for nonmedical personnel in environments from home station to combat situations. This publication is meant to be used by trainers and individuals being trained based on common first aid tasks. Tasks are found in the Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks, Warrior Skills Level 1, and appropriate modified tasks from the Soldier's Manual and Trainer's Guide, Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 68W. These tasks are meant to reinforce and maintain proficiency in correct procedures for giving first aid throughout a Soldier's time in Service. Training Circular 4-02.1 is designed to facilitate training and first aid competencies by bridging first aid training across the spectrum of assignments from training to permanent duty station and deployment. Tactical combat casualty care (TC3) is introduced in TC 4-02.1 with first aid tasks and procedures associated with combat situations. Individual and multiple first aid tasks in combination with collective tasks, may be integrated into various training scenarios.

Army Field Manual (FM) 3-99, Airborne and Air Assault Operations, establishes doctrine to govern the activities and performance of Army forces in forcible entry (specifically airborne and air assault operations) and provides the doctrinal basis for vertical envelopment and follow-on operations. This publication provides leaders with descriptive guidance on how Army forces conduct vertical envelopment within the simultaneous combination of offense, defense, and stability. These doctrinal principles are intended to be used as a guide and are not to be considered prescriptive. FM 3-99 encompasses tactics for Army airborne and air assault operations and describes how commanders plan, prepare, and conduct airborne and air assault operations by means of joint combined arms operations.

FM 7-15, "The Army Universal Task List," describes the structure and content of the Army Universal Task List (AUTL). The AUTL is a comprehensive, but not all-inclusive listing of Army tasks, missions, and operations. Units and staffs perform these tasks, mission, and operations or capability at corps level and below. For each task, the AUTL provides a numeric reference hierarchy, a task title, a task description, a doctrine reference, and, in most cases, recommended measures of performance (measures) for training developers to develop training and evaluation outline evaluation criteria for supporting tasks. The task proponent is responsible for developing the training and evaluation outlines that supports each AUTL task. As a catalog, the AUTL captures doctrine as it existed on the date of its publication. The AUTL can help commanders develop a mission-essential task list (METL). It (the AUTL) provides tasks, missions and operations or capabilities for a unit, company-sized and above, and staffs. Commanders should use the AUTL as a cross-reference for tasks. Commanders may use the AUTL to supplement their core training focused METL or the directed training focused METL as required. FM 7-0 and FM 7-1 discuss in detail METL development and requirements. The primary source for standards for most Army units is their proponent-approved individual and collective tasks. Proponents revise standards when the factors of mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations (METT-TC) significantly differ from those associated with a task training and evaluation outline. Significant differences in METT-TC may include new unit equipment; a table of organization; force packaging decisions during deployment; or new unit tasks. Proponents and trainers will use the unit's assigned table of organization and equipment, as the basis for mission analysis during the analysis phase of the Systems Approach to Training process. Trainers may use the AUTL as a catalog of warfighting function tasks when developing collective tasks. The AUTL is not all-inclusive. If the proponent or school identifies or develops a new AUTL task requirement, the new task will be provided to the Collective Training Directorate for approval and the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate for input to AUTL revision. Task proponents and schools write and define the conditions and standards (training and evaluation outlines) for individual and collective tasks which support the AUTL. The AUTL does not include tasks Army forces perform as part of joint and multinational forces at the strategic and operational levels. Those tasks are included in the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL). The UJTL defines tasks and functions performed by Army elements operating at the operational and strategic levels of war. The UJTL provides an overall description of joint tasks to apply at the national strategic, theater strategic, operational, and tactical levels of command. The UJTL also provides a standard reference system used by United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) combat developers for analysis, such as front-end analysis of force element capabilities. Each military Service is required to publish its own tactical task list to supplement the UJTL.

"Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging Potable Water and Water Purification Units," (TM 4-48.01/MCRP 4-11.3N/TO 13C7-2-1001[FM 10-522/FM 4-20.158]), provides doctrinal guidance and direction for United States Army, United States Marine Corps, and United States Air Force units conducting aerial delivery operations. This manual provides information on how to rig configurations of the following: 55-gallon and 250-gallon collapsible water drums, 600-gallons per hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU), and the Lightweight Water Purifier (LWP). These loads are rigged for low-velocity airdrop from a C-130 or C-17 aircraft. The principal audience for TM 4-48.01/MCRP 4-11.3N/TO 13C7-2-1001 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force will also use this publication.

This manual, "Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair," provides the authoritative doctrine guidance on using recovery and repair assets on the battlefield. Practical methods of recovering or repairing equipment (disabled or immobilized) due to hazardous terrain, mechanical failure, or a hostile action are also addressed. Field manual (FM) 4-30.31, "Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair," is directed toward both the leader and the technician. Tactically, it provides an overview of how recovery and battle damage assessment and repair (BDAR) assets are employed on the battlefield. Technically, it provides principles of resistance and mechanical applications to overcome them. Equipment, rigging techniques, and expedient repairs are summarized as a refresher for recovery-trained military personnel and as general guidance for others.

This manual, FM 4-20.153 / MCRP 4-11.3B, "Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging Ammunition," tells and shows how to prepare and position certain types of ammunition and explosives in A-21 or A-22 cargo bags and A-7A cargo slings for low-velocity or high-velocity airdrop.
