This book was released on 2013-05-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army Techniques Publication (ATP) provides doctrinal guidance and procedures required for personnel who are appointed to perform duties as pay agents (PAs) and field ordering officers (FOOs). ATP 1-06.1 has five chapters and one appendix. Chapter 1 describes participants in the micro-purchase process and provides an overview of this process. This chapter allows the FOO/PA team to understand their interaction with other members, where they belong in the process, why their duties are unique, and when in the process they will execute their duties. Chapter 2 outlines the duties and responsibilities that are specific to the FOOs position and provides select excerpts from the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Chapter 3 provides specific procedures required of the FOO during a purchase. Chapters 4 and 5 provide the same type of information required of the PA in accordance with (IAW) the DoD 7000.14-R, Department of Defense Financial Management Regulations (FMRs), Volume 5. The appendix provides sample forms and documents that visually assist the FOO/PA team in completing required documentation. ATP 1-06.1 was developed to expand on FM 1-06, Financial Management Operations, Chapter 3, Banking and Disbursing. It also expands on the previously published Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) Handbook 09-16, Field Ordering Officer and Paying Agent Handbook (July 2009) and CALL Handbook 10-39, Unit Commander's Guide to Paying Agents Handbook (April 2010). ATP 1-06.1 applies to all Army components across the operating and generating force, and during all levels of military operations. The proponent for this manual is the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the preparing agent is the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute (SSI). The current Army structure combined with the increased demands of full spectrum operations has placed an enormous demand on the Army's logistics capabilities. In response to this, commanders have increasingly needed to employ other means of acquiring goods or services necessary for accomplishment of the mission. One of these means is through the use of a FOO/PA team that facilitates the micro-purchase process. Since the American Revolution, vendors have been part of the battlefield in some form or another. General George Washington used civilian wagon drivers to haul military supplies. Vendors supported military operations during the American Civil War, both World Wars, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. Over time, vendor support evolved from an ad hoc, add-on capability to an essential, vital part of force projection capability. The Army relies on contracts for equipment, supplies, and services. Most contracts are not million or multi- million-dollar programs that receive multiple levels of review; they are usually small micro-purchases that units use to meet one-time, immediate needs. The basic standards of ethics and business practices for large programs also apply to micro-purchases. Successful operational contract support (OCS) requires all personnel involved in the process to not only understand their specific role in the process, but to be familiar with the specific rules, policies, and procedures required in the execution of their duties and responsibilities. This includes custody and proper disposition of government funds entrusted to them. Unit commanders establish and use FOOs and PAs to make over-the-counter purchases in amounts up to the micro-purchase threshold. The FOO/PA team provides the unit commander with the ability to make local purchases quickly and directly to support the unit commander's mission. As such, unit commanders will select highly capable individuals for duty as FOOs and PAs and will ensure other duties assigned to a FOO or PA do not conflict with or delay the performance of their appointed duties.

This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATP 4-35.1, Techniques for Munitions Handlers, provides doctrine on munitions handling techniques for all munitions handlers in the Army regardless of assignment or military occupational specialty. It is intended to provide greater emphasis on explosives safety during all munitions handling operations. The principal audience for ATP 4-35.1 is commanders, staffs, supervisors, and Soldiers in all organizations at all levels that have roles in munitions handling. This includes not only personnel in ammunition support activities but any unit, operation, or task where munitions are handled. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable US, 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. ATP 4-35.1 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. The proponent of ATP 4-35.1 is the United States Army Ordnance School. The preparing agency is the United States Army Combined Arms Support Command (USACASCOM), G3 Doctrine Division. Soldiers, civilians and contractors that handle munitions for the Army perform a vital role of keeping their units and Army personnel safe while maintaining and providing the effective munitions needed to accomplish the mission. Munitions handlers, as identified in this manual, include every person that plays a role in handling, storing, moving and maintaining munitions. This includes professional munitions handlers, such as ammunition officers, ammunition technicians, 89B30/40s, Quality Assurance Specialist (Ammunition Surveillance) (QASAS), and QA/QC ammunition inspectors. It also includes more generalized professions such as accountability personnel, supply personnel, transportation personnel and storage managers. All personnel involved in munitions support and handling need to understand the environment in which they operate. This manual provides information on Class V support to unified land operations to include the Joint environment. Joint integration of ammunition support is crucial to unity of effort in most operational areas. It is imperative for all personnel engaged in munitions support operations have an understanding of the various staff organizations that have a role in munitions planning and support. It will be necessary for an ammunition support activity to contact the higher, lower, or adjacent headquarters (both sustainment and operational) to coordinate support, report status, request technical assistance, or request additional resources. This manual will present the roles and mission of the various munitions organizations so that proper coordination can be conducted. Ammunition supply operations are addressed to include receipt, turn-in, issue, shipment and retrograde. Storage procedures and consideration are presented and maintenance functions are addressed. Logistic Information Technology is presented both in terms of specific Information Systems needed to perform munitions handling functions and Information Technology enablers that will assist personnel in accomplishing the mission. This manual is intended to provide munitions handlers the information necessary to safely perform munitions operations and fully support the operational requirement. The primary focus of explosives safety is to reduce the probability and limit the damage caused by unintended initiation of munitions. Safety, fire protection, prevention, and safety awareness during munitions is every soldier's responsibility. The guidelines in this publication should be followed as closely as possible within the constraints and restrictions of the tactical situation.

Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-46 (FM 4-20.64) Contingency Fatality Operations December 2014, revises field manual (FM) 4-20.64, Mortuary Affairs Operations. It provides a single, ready reference for units and Soldiers. The focus of the ATP is on techniques used by Soldiers, small unit leaders, civilians, contractors or host nation personnel physically responsible for handling, transporting, receiving, or storing human remains or personal effects (PE). This publication will address the new force design of the mortuary affairs units, and emphasize safety and the mortuary affairs reporting and tracking system (MARTS). The principal audience for ATP 4-46 is commanders, staffs, Soldiers at all levels, leaders, instructors, at military institutions, students, and doctrine and training developers. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. The title of ATP 4-46 has been changed to Contingency Fatality Operations to appropriately reflect the actual intended focus and content of the manual. ATP 4-46, Contingency Fatality Operations, serves as a planning and operations guide for all personnel involved in mortuary affairs (MA) within a theater of operations (TO). MA provides for the search, recovery, identification, preparation, and disposition of human remains of persons for whom the Services are responsible by status and Executive Order. The Department of Defense (DOD) Executive Steering Committee (ESC) determined that Mortuary Affairs required delineation to identify the Contingency Fatality Operations. Contingency Fatality Operations provides for the search and recovery, contamination mitigation, tentative identification, preparation and temporary disposition of human remains of persons covered under JP 4-06 during contingency operations. (This includes PE). The mortuary operations process is the point from which human remains are released by the Medical Examiner to the point where remains are evacuated to a receiving funeral home designated by the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD). ATP 4-46 contains four chapters and five appendixes: Chapter 1 discusses the role of the MA personnel, the geographic combatant commanders (GCC), and how these commanders with geographic responsibilities, designate theaters of operation, area of operations (AO), and line of communications (LOC) throughout a TO. This chapter also addresses why contingency fatality operations must be planned in detail from the unit through the joint level. Chapter 2 describes the new quartermaster mortuary affairs company's mission and all of its functions. The responsibilities are addressed to include the organization structure. This will guide the MA personnel on their role to search for, recover, tentatively identify, and coordinate evacuating remains through the appropriate evacuation systems. Chapter 3 discusses the concepts of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. This allows units to have the basic knowledge to plan, prepare and execute the basis of contingency fatality operations. Chapter 4 refers to commanders responsibilities; they include the search for, recovery, and evacuation of remains and associated PE to the nearest MA facility. Commanders of all Army units have the responsibility to care for deceased personnel within their AO. Commanders may be tasked to conduct search and recovery operations for remains of individuals of other nations or services. Appendix A shows an example of mortuary affairs unit standing operating procedure (SOP) Appendix B has an example of an operation order for mortuary affairs Appendix C the commonly used forms and instructions on their completion Appendix D depicts the information of the old quartermaster collection company (MA) Appendix E depicts the information of the old quartermaster mortuary affairs company

ATP 3-20.15/MCRP 3-10B.1 provides doctrinal guidance; describes relationships in the platoon; defines organizational roles and functions, capabilities, limitations; and lay outs the responsibilities for platoons during unified land operations. The tank platoon is a unified team; all tanks crews work together to achieve mission success. A single tank can be vulnerable in the face of diverse battlefield hazards, such as enemy forces or unfavorable terrain and situations. These vulnerabilities are significantly reduced when tanks are employed as platoons. The tank platoon requires bold, aggressive, resourceful, and adaptive leaders-leaders of character, competence and commitment-who are willing to accept prudent risks to accomplish the mission. This publication addresses the significant changes in Army doctrinal terminology, constructs and proven tactics, techniques, and procedures.
