Download or read book Brigade Combat Team FM 3 96 written by Department of the Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army FM 3-96, "Brigade Combat Team," provides doctrine for the brigade combat team (BCT). This publication describes relationships, organizational roles and functions, capabilities and limitations, and responsibilities within the BCT. Tactics, the employment and ordered arrangement of forces in relation to each other (CJCSM 5120.01), are discussed in this manual and are intended to be used as a guide. They are not prescriptive. FM 3-96 applies to the infantry brigade combat team, Stryker brigade combat team, and armored brigade combat team. The Army provides readily available and trained regionally aligned and globally responsive forces to prevent conflict, shape the security environment, and win wars. Army forces maintain proficiency in the fundamentals of decisive action, and possess capabilities to meet specific geographic combatant command requests. Regionally aligned forces provide combatant commanders with an Army headquarters tailored to missions from tactical level to joint task force capable. The brigade combat team shapes the security environment and wins across the range of military operations. FM 3-96 focuses on the employment and ordered arrangement of forces within the BCT during the conduct of decisive action across the range of military operations. The tactics addressed in this manual include the ordered arrangement and maneuver-the employment of forces in the operational area through movement in combination with fires to achieve a position of advantage in respect to the enemy (JP 3-0)-of units in relation to each other, the terrain, and the enemy. Tactics vary with terrain and other circumstances; they change frequently as the enemy reacts and friendly forces explore new approaches. Applying tactics usually entails acting under time constraints with incomplete information. Tactics always require judgment in application; they are always descriptive, not prescriptive. FM 3-96 addresses the tactical application of tasks associated with the offense, the defense, and operations focused on stability. FM 3-96 does not discuss defense support of civil authorities. Employing tactics addressed in FM 3-96 may require using and integrating techniques. Echelon-specific ATPs address techniques, non-prescriptive ways or methods used to perform missions, functions, or tasks (CJCSM 5120.01).

Book excerpt: Field Manual-Interim (FMI) 3-90.6 provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP)for the tactical employment of the heavy brigade combat team (HBCT). This publication:* Provides the doctrinal guidance for commanders, staffs, and subordinate commanders and leaders of the currently transitioning organizations who are responsible for conducting (planning, preparing, executing, and assessing) operations in the HBCT.* Serves as an authoritative reference for personnel developing doctrine (fundamental principles and TTP) materiel and force structure, institution and unit training, and standing operating procedures (SOPs) for HBCT operations.This FMI addresses operations for HBCTs organized under the Army modular concept that governs the development of equipment, training, and structure for former divisional brigades. The procedures described herein are intended as a guide and are not to be considered inflexible. Each situation in combat must be resolved by an intelligent interpretation and application of the doctrine set forth herein. The guiding manual for this FMI has been FM 3-90.3, The Mounted Brigade Combat Team. FMI 3-90.6 is written for the HBCT commander, the HBCT battle staff, subordinate commanders, and all supporting units. The manual reflects and supports the Army operations doctrine as stated in FM 3-0, Operations. This is not intended as a standalone reference for HBCT operations; rather, it is intended to be used in conjunction with existing doctrine. This FMI is published to provide expedited delivery of doctrine urgently needed to execute transformation to modular organizations. It has not been placed through the standard development process but is authorized for implementation. FM 3-90.6 is under development and will supersede this FMI before its expiration date. Send comments on this FMI to the address below. The proponent will consider them for inclusion in FM 3- 90.6. The doctrine in this FMI is based on suggestions, insights, and observations developed from four separate 3d Infantry Division HBCT rotations at the Combat Training Centers (CTCs), conducted by Task Force Modularity Field Experimentation Project Team (FEPT), Joint and Army Experimentation Division (JAED), Futures Center (FC), TRADOC, during FY 2004. Each CTC rotation yielded valuable information concerning the HBCT operations. Additionally, Task Force Logistics contributed significant insights to the doctrine in this FMI. This FMI was written in conjunction with five other FMI relating to HBCT operations, including HBCT combined arms battalion operations; HBCT fires and effects operations; HBCT logistics; the HBCT brigade troops battalion operations; and the HBCT reconnaissance squadron operations. For the most part, these FMI include only TTP that have changed due to the new organization. These FMI include not only TTP that have changed due to the new organization but also a wide variety of TTP that, after implementing the new HBCT organization, remain relevant and provide the required contextual frameworks.

This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Circular TC 3-90.6 is a tool that commanders can use during training strategy development. The products in this TC are developed to support the brigade's full spectrum operations mission-essential task list training strategy. This training circular provides doctrinal guidance for commanders, staff, leaders, and Soldiers who plan, prepare, execute, and assess training of the brigade combat team. The primary target audience for this training circular is the Heavy, Infantry, and Stryker brigade combat team commander, staff, and other leaders. The secondary audience is training developers who develop training support materials for professional military education. This publication 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. Brigade combat teams (BCTs) conduct offensive, defensive, stability, and civil support operations. Their core mission is to close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver, to destroy or capture enemy forces, or to repel enemy attacks by fire, close combat, and counterattack. The BCT can fight without augmentation, but it also can be tailored to meet the precise needs of its missions. Brigade combat teams conduct expeditionary deployment and integrate the efforts of the Army with military and civilian, joint, and multinational partners (Field Manual [FM] 3-90.6). To accomplish this and more, BCT commanders must train their units to standard. This training circular (TC) provides information on the Army approach to training and highlights several training considerations and enablers and, when implemented and used, can make training successful.

Download or read book Logistics Maneuver Made Easy written by James H. Henderson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines some logistical maneuvers and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, and provides some new ideas. The lessons are formatted in a fashion that offers the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to tactical operations. Even though combat maneuver may be more exciting to discuss, logistical maneuver is just as effective in its results to maintain combat power. And isnt that the real key to successfully sustaining any decisive action operationsto maintain combat power across the battlefield? And the only way to achieve this effect is to understand the different ways to execute logistical maneuver to support the mission. As I have pointed out on more than one occasion, you cannot have one without the other.

Download or read book Field Manual FM 3 90 Tactics July 2001 written by United States Government Us Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Tactics is the art and science of employing all available means to win battles and engagements. Specifically, it comprises the actions taken by a commander to arrange units and activities in relation to each other and the enemy. FM 3-90 introduces the basic concepts and control measures associated with the art of tactics. It cannot be read in isolation. To understand FM 3-90, the reader must understand the operational art, principles of war, and links between the operational and tactical levels of war described in FM 3-0, Operations. He should understand how the activities described in FM 3-07, Stability Operations and Support Operations, carry over and affect offensive and defensive operations and vice versa. He should understand the operations (plan, prepare, execute, and assess) process described in FM 6-0, Command and Control, and how that process relates to the military decision making process and troop-leading procedures described in FM 5-0, Army Planning and Orders Production. FM 3-90 also refers to joint publications (JPs). Reviewing referenced JPs will also aid in understanding FM 3-90. FM 3-90 focuses on the tactics used to employ available means to win in combat. Those tactics require judgment in application. The ability to seize and secure terrain, with its populations and productive capacity, distinguishes land forces conducting decisive offensive and defensive operations. FM 3-90 provides a common discussion of how commanders from the battalion task force level through the corps echelon conduct tactical offensive and defensive operations and their supporting tactical enabling operations. It is not prescriptive, but authoritative. Tactical fundamentals do not change with the fielding of each new piece of equipment. However, the integration of new equipment and organizations usually requires changes in related techniques and procedures. FM 3-90 provides guidance in the form of combat-tested concepts and ideas modified to exploit emerging Army and joint capabilities.

It describes both combat-tested tactics and procedures that have been modified to exploit emerging Army and joint offensive and defensive capabilities. FM 3-90-1 expounds on the doctrinal fundamentals established in Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 3-90. ADRP 3-90 must be read before reading FM 3-90-1, since that is where doctrine for the conduct of offensive and defensive tasks and the art and science of tactics is found. FM 3-90-1 addresses the basic tactics associated with the conduct of offensive and defensive tasks. The principal audience for FM 3-90-1 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as a 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 will also use this publication. FM 3-90-1 focuses on the organization of forces, minimum essential control measures, and general planning, preparation, and execution considerations for each primary offensive and defensive task. It is the common reference for all students of the art and science of tactics, both in the field and the Army school system. The offensive and defensive considerations in this publication apply to small tactical units, such as companies and battalions, even though most of the figures in this publication use the division and the brigade combat team (BCT) echelons to illustrate points in the text. Echelon-specific field manuals and Army techniques publications address the specifics of how each tactical echelon employs these tactical concepts. FM 3-90-1 implements standardization agreement (STANAG) Allied Tactical Publication-3.2.1. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations.

This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT) infantry battalion is designed to be a full-spectrum, early-entry combat force. It has utility in all operational environments against all projected future threats. As part of the SBCT, the infantry battalion possesses significant utility for divisions and corps engaged in a major theater war; however, the SBCT is optimized to meet the challenges of smaller-scale contingencies. Given current trends, domestic factors, and the worldwide potential for various forms of conflict, the United States can expect to remain heavily engaged on a global basis. The United States will likely respond to serious threats to its national interests from failed and failing states, from transnational entities, and potentially major military competitors as well as from regional or state-centered threats. The proliferation of information and weapons technologies, coupled with asymmetric application of conventional and nonmilitary capabilities, may enable even regional adversaries to oppose United States interests and military forces effectively. This manual provides the battalion commander and staff with the doctrinal base to ensure the SBCT infantry battalion's versatility across the full spectrum of potential operations. The Stryker brigade combat team infantry battalion optimizes organizational effectiveness while balancing lethality, mobility, and survivability against requirements for rapid strategic deployability. The infantry battalion includes a reconnaissance platoon, imbedded human intelligence (HUMINT), and three robust combined-arms infantry companies. These organic elements ensure the battalion's versatility across the full range of potential requirements, from providing the security necessary to promote stability and conduct operations during peacetime military engagements to conducting offensive and defensive operations in a major-theater war against localized threats.
