Download or read book The SBCT Infantry Rifle Company written by U. S. Government Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is based on the premise that although the unit organization, weapons systems, and conditions have changed, platoon maneuver, fire, and movement have not changed. FM 3-21.11 describes the doctrinal and tactical employment principles for the Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT) infantry rifle company, which is an element of the SBCT battalion. This field manual responds to a need for emerging doctrine, tactics, and techniques for the infantry companies of the SBCT. The fundamental shift and focus for the manual is the combination of an infantry-centric organization, three full platoons, and a mobile gun system (MGS) platoon. This is a departure from the light and mechanized infantry concept. This manual provides the company commander with tactics and techniques to exploit the infantry capabilities, to reduce vulnerabilities, and to enable the unit to win on the battlefield. This manual borrows from "nested" concepts found in FM 7-10 and FM 71-1 and reemphasizes information from other manuals that are of critical importance.

This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 printing. ATTP 3-21.9 describes how the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) Infantry rifle platoons and squads fight. ATTP 3-21.9 discusses how they operate as Infantry, mounted in their Stryker Infantry carrier vehicles (ICVs), with the ICV in support, and as part of the Stryker rifle company. The content includes principles, tactics, techniques, procedures, terms, and symbols that apply to small-unit operations. ATTP 3-21.9 is intentionally designed as a companion manual to FM 3-21.8. Many of the subjects covered in FM 3-21.8 are not only mutually applicable to the Stryker platoons and squads but also nearly identical and need not be republished. Because of this, ATTP 3-21.9 focuses on the unique characteristics and capabilities of the Stryker platoons and squads. Major areas reduced, or not included in this manual, are covered in detail in FM 3-21.8 and include: - Dismounted tactical movement. - Employing fires. - Troop-leading procedures (TLP). - Sustainment. - Air defense. - Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) operations. - Composite risk management. - Fratricide avoidance. - Urban operations (UO). - Sniper operations. - Patrols. - Employment of the dismounted element's weapons. - Platoon and squad fire planning. - Air assault operations. - Defeating improvised explosive devices (IED). - Obstacle reduction and employment. - Dismounted fighting positions. These are basic skills that Stryker small units and their leaders must understand, practice, and execute. Their absence from ATTP 3-21.9 in no way diminishes their importance. Rather, they are fundamental skills applicable to all Infantry units and leaders.
