Book Description
This manual, “Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (FM 4-30.31),” 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 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. The procedures and doctrine in this manual apply to both wartime operations and military operations other than war. Normally, BDAR should be used when and where standard maintenance practices are not practical because of the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations (METT-TC) or METT-T space and logistics (METT-TSL) for USMC. BDAR is not intended to replace standard maintenance practices but rather to supplement them under certain conditions. Standard maintenance procedures provide the best, most effective means of returning disabled equipment to the operational commander—provided adequate time, parts, and tools are available. High-risk battle damage repairs (involving possible danger to personnel or further damage to equipment) are only permitted in emergencies, normally in a battlefield environment, and only when authorized by the unit commander or his designated representative. The goal is to return a combat system to the battlefield in the least amount of time, while minimizing danger to personnel and equipment. BDAR techniques are not limited to simply restoring minimal functional combat capability. If full mission capability can be restored expediently with a limited expenditure of time and assets, it should be restored. This decision is based on METT-TC. Some BDAR techniques, if applied, may result in shortened lifespan or further damage to components. The commander must decide whether the risk of having one less piece of equipment outweighs the risk of applying a potentially destructive field-expedient repair. Each technique provides appropriate warnings and cautions, which list the system's limitations caused by the action. Personnel must use ground guides and extreme caution when operating recovery assets around or on an aircraft.

Book Description
Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-31/MCRP 4-11.4A Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR) August 2014 Soldiers and officers that perform recovery operations/battle damage assessment and repair for the Army perform a vital role of keeping their units and Army personnel safe while maintaining and providing the effective operational readiness rates needed to accomplish the mission. Recovery personnel, as identified in this publication, include every person that plays a role in recovery operations or battle damage assessment and repair. This includes professional recovery personnel, such as maintenance control officers, warrant technicians and maintenance teams. All personnel involved in recovery operations/ battle damage assessment and repair need to understand the environment in which they operate. This manual provides information on recovery support to unit operations also including the Joint environment. It is imperative for all personnel engaged in recovery operations/ battle damage assessment and repair support operations to have an understanding of the various staff organizations that have a role in recovery planning and support. It will be necessary for a recovery 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 recovery organizations so that proper coordination can be conducted. The guidelines in this publication should be followed as closely as possible within the constraints and restrictions of the tactical situation. ATP 4-31, Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR), is the revision of FM 4-30.31, Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair. ATP 4-31 provides an overview of the battlefield recovery, and battle damage assessment and repair for the fundamental purpose of returning combat assets to the battlefield as soon as possible. It also explains the difference between recovery operations with its different types and methods and the battle assessment and repairs. This publication also reviews the rigging procedures and the utilization of the mechanical advantage to accomplish the mission. Overviews the recovery methods, techniques and the safety precautions associated with each recovery operation. Major changes from FM 4-30.31 include an improved hand and arm signals for day and night recovery operations

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
From the foreword by Genral (ret.) David Petraeus: "In 2010, as the scale and tempo of Coalition operations in Afghanistan increased, so did the need for historical accounts of small-unit actions. As commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), I commissioned the Combat Studies Institute to research and write the cases collected in this volume and in those that will follow. By capturing key insights from both lethal and non-lethal operations, I hoped these accounts would be of immediate utility to sergeants and lieutenants at the center of future operations. The eight actions described in these pages take the reader through a wide range of platoon-level operations, from an intense firefight near Kandahar to an intricate civic action project in Kunar Province. Drawing from dozens of Soldier interviews, these accounts vividly depict the actions themselves and offer critical insights of greatest benefit to the small-unit actions leaders of today and tomorrow. The US Army always has prided itself as an institution of constant learning, strongly committed to drawing lessons from its past. This volume from the Combat Studies Institute is an excellent example of that long and honorable tradition. I hope that you will find the actions n Vanguard of Valor to be both instructive and compelling. I am sure that you will find them to be inspirational."
