Book Description
Scope This publication is designed for use at the tactical and operational levels. This manual provides multiservice tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) decontamination. It defines the roles of military units and staffs involved in the preparation, planning, and execution of decontamination operations. It addresses the requirements for the different techniques used in decontamination. This manual focuses on the need for all United States (US) forces to be prepared to fight and win in a CBRN environment. It addresses the support theDepartment of Defense (DOD) may have to provide to support homeland security (HLS). The planning and coordination for CBRN decontamination takes place with the realization that the potential CBRN environment could be one in which there is deliberate or accidental employment of CBRN weapons, or deliberate or accidental attacks or contamination with toxic industrial material (TIM) (see Joint Doctrine for Operations in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical [NBC] Environments). Purpose This publication provides a reference for CBRN decontamination; bridges the gap between service and joint doctrine; and contains tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for planning and executing operations in a CBRN environment. This manual addresses concepts, principles, and TTP to include planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for the development of multiservice manuals and refinement of existing training support packages (TSPs), mission training plans (MTPs), training center and unit exercises, and service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to CBRN decontamination. Application The audience for this publication is combatant commands, joint task forces (JTFs), functional and service component units, and staffs in foreign and domestic locations that could be challenged by operations in a CBRN environment.

Book Description
Recovering amphibious forces can be complicated if ashore forces are attacked with chemical, biological, or radiological weapons. These forces may cross-contaminate others with whom they come in contact. And if contaminants spread to equipment and vehicles, creating persistent hazards, those items may pose an additional cross-contamination risk. Although the preference is to decontaminate ashore forces in the operating environment or in a clean area elsewhere on land, this is not always feasible. Using a scenario involving a Marine Expeditionary Unit of 3,000 Marines—300 total contaminated service members, including 24 contaminated litter casualties and 75 contaminated ambulatory casualties—the researchers assess current policies and capabilities pertaining to the recovery and decontamination of ashore forces aboard ships and identify policy options the Navy could pursue to better perform this mission. They develop a set of policies to increase the Navy’s capability to recover and transport contaminated land forces to amphibious assault groups and propose doctrine to support operational decisions.

Book Description
This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective.

Book Description
Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative and creative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude of combinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the proper balance between maintaining the capability to respond to current threats and preparing for future challenges.

Book Description
TASER® Conducted Electrical Weapons are rapidly replacing the club for law-enforcement control of violent subjects within many countries around the globe. A TASER CEW is a hand-held device that delivers a 400-volt pulse with a duration tuned to control the skeletal muscles without affecting the heart at a distance of up to 6.5 meters over tiny wires. If necessary, it begins with an arcing voltage of 50,000 V to penetrate thick clothing; the 50,000 V is never delivered to the body itself. Due to the widespread usage of these devices and the widespread misconceptions surrounding their operation, this book will have significant utility. This volume is written for cardiologists, emergency physicians, pathologists, law enforcement management, corrections personnel, and attorneys.

Book Description
This Army Techniques Publication (ATP), "Army Medical Logistics," ATP 4-02.1 addresses the role of medical logistics (MEDLOG) in the Army Health System (AHS). It covers MEDLOG operations from the support battalions at the tactical level to the medical command (deployment support) (MEDCOM [DS]) and theater sustainment command where the critical crossover occurs between strategic agencies within the AHS and commands and the operational units providing logistics support in-theater. Army MEDLOG, as one of the ten medical functions, is an integral part of the AHS. It provides intensive life cycle management of medical products and services that are used almost exclusively by the AHS and its joint partners and are critical to the successful delivery of Army medical capabilities. Army MEDLOG support is tailored to anticipate and effectively respond to medical requirements through the provision of uninterrupted, end-to-end sustainment of the AHS mission across the range of military operations. Providing timely and effective AHS support is a team effort which integrates the clinical and operational aspects of the mission and requires collaboration between the medical logisticians, health care providers, distribution managers, and other partners within the Military Health System. Army MEDLOG includes management of the following functions: Medical materiel (Class VIIIA); Medical equipment maintenance and repair; Optical fabrication and repair; Patient movement items (PMI); Medical gases; Blood (Class VIIIB) storage and distribution; Regulated medical waste (including hazardous material); Medical facilities and infrastructure; Medical contracting.

Book Description
the combined arms team that enhances mobility of the force by projecting elements across an obstacle, wet ordry, in support of assured mobility. It is also applicable to joint, interagency, or multinational forces and isspecifically written as a dual manual between the United States (U.S.) Army and the U.S. Marine Corps(USMC). Although other branches contribute to gap-crossing operations and are included in the discussions,this manual focuses on the engineer contribution to gap-crossing operations, while acknowledging thesignificant role of other branches and capabilities. This manual follows the principles and tenets found in FieldManual (FM) 3-90, FM 3-34, and FM 3-34.2 that continues the discussion of mobility and gap-crossingoperations. It recognizes the contribution of the entire combined arms team to gap-crossing operations and themulti-Service capabilities that exist to support gap-crossing operations at both the tactical and operationallevels. Finally, it addresses the specifics associated with gap crossing in support of combat maneuver and lineof communications (LOC) gap crossing, integrating the considerations created by the significant changes todoctrine and force structure that have occurred since FM 90-13 was published in 1998.This FM is the tactical commander's and engineer staff planner's manual and primary resource forunderstanding gap-crossing operations. This manual follows the mobility concepts and fundamentals outlinedin FM 3-34.2 and is intended for use by commanders and their staff at both the operational and tactical levels. Itrelates the engineer-focused aspects of gap crossing to the functional area of combined arms mobilityoperations, incorporating new concepts associated with the expansion of the existing Army task (ART)Conduct Gap-Crossing Operations and the advent of the modular force structure.
