One of the U.S. Army's greatest traditions is seen in the framework of the lineage and honors which link soldiers and their units. Organizations such as U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) usually do not acquire much in the way of history or heritage. But in an era of seemingly endless reorganization, TRADOC has proven to be an anomaly. It has maintained its original mission, almost completely intact, and kept the same name for 30 years. I am pleased to introduce this survey of TRADOC's first three decades. Credit for the solid character of the command and its continued relevance to The Army goes first and foremost to TRADOC's founder, General William DePuy. His vision of an organization dedicated to providing training excellence, guidance on how to fight the country's wars, and insights on the organization and materiel necessary to support the soldier and execute doctrine proved exactly right. From the outset, General DePuy put the soldier at the center of the command's work, avoiding the temptation to allow technology to dictate the present or the future of warfare. No single decision could have been more important for the success of America's Army on battlefields since TRADOC's founding in 1973. TRADOC still “lives” General DePuy's vision in its mission to train the Army's soldiers and develop its leaders, support training in units, develop doctrine, establish standards, recruit the force, and build the future Army. TRADOC is still built around training the individual soldier—training is our primary mission, our baseplate. We should remain mindful of this as we look back over the past 30 years and as we accomplish our current work of establishing the standards and requirements for training and developments for The Army, and of developing competent and adaptive leaders while ensuring currency in our doctrine. TRADOC remains an adaptable organization, open-minded to new ideas, innovation, and collaboration. We embrace jointness in our component command-like relationship with Joint Forces Command, helping define the contribution of land forces to the joint and coalition battle and serving as The Army's component for joint developments in training, doctrine, concept development, and experimentation. Looking from the vantage point of the past, we build The Army of the future. We recruit young Americans as soldiers who serve as the centerpiece of The Army's formation and readiness. We take these new recruits, try to ensure a smooth transition into our ranks, imbue Army values, the warrior ethos, and discipline into them, and provide them the necessary skills needed to immediately contribute to their first unit of assignment. Then we train them through-out their careers, as quality forces must have quality training as well as quality equipment. Just as TRADOC has “touched” every member of today's Transforming Army, TRADOC itself must transform. Transforming the Army, and achieving irreversible momentum toward that end, is imperative. By TRADOC's Transformation, we strive to place the best capabilities and equipment into the hands of the quality force we have recruited. There, the circle of TRADOC's mission becomes complete. Through Transformation, TRADOC remains committed to soldiers, civilians, and families. May future soldiers and civilians of TRADOC learn from the successes captured in these pages.
This training circular details techniques Soldiers and leaders must know to cope with mountainous terrain. These techniques are the foundation upon which the mountaineer must build. They must be applied to the various situations encountered to include river crossings, glaciers, snow-covered mountains, ice climbing, rock climbing, and urban vertical environments. The degree to which this training is applied must be varied to conform to known enemy doctrine, tactics, and actions. This TC also discusses basic and advanced techniques to include acclimatization, illness and injury, equipment, anchors, evacuation, movement on glaciers, and training.
FM 5-0 (C1), The Operations Process, constitutes the Army's view on planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations. It describes how commanders-supported by their staffs, subordinate commanders, and other military and civilian partners-exercise mission command during the conduct of full spectrum operations. It describes how design assists commanders with understanding complex problems and developing an operational approach to solve or manage those problems throughout the conduct of operations. This manual applies to all Army forces. The principal audience for this manual is Army commanders and unit staffs (officers, noncommissioned officers, and Soldiers). Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as a joint task force or a multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine for the exercise of command and control. Trainers and educators throughout the Army also use this manual.
The training circular (TC) is a tool that platoon leaders can use as an aid during training strategy development. The products in this TC are developed to support the battalion's mission plan. This TC provides guidance for platoon leaders, leaders, and Soldiers who are responsible for planning, preparing, executing, and assessing training of the mortar platoon. The primary target audience for this TC is the platoon leader and other leaders within a mortar platoon. The secondary audience comprises training developers involved in developing training support materials for professional military education.
The training circular (TC) is a tool that a commander can use as an aid during training strategy development. The products in this TC are developed to support the company's mission-essential task list (METL) training strategy. This TC provides guidance for commanders, staff, leaders, and Soldiers who plan, prepare, execute, and assess training of the weapons and antiarmor company.
Soldier physical readiness is acquired through the challenge of a precise, progressive, and integrated physical training program. A well-conceived plan of military physical readiness training must be an integral part of every unit training program. This field manual prescribes doctrine for the execution of the Army Physical Readiness Training System. Illustrated throughout.
The United States (U.S.) Army watercraft fleet is made up of all types of vessels, including oceangoing vessels, tugs, landing craft, and barges. Although all of these vessels operate on water, their missions are different. The watercraft operator must have the skills and knowledge to perform the tasks required on any of these vessels. This training circular (TC) is for the 88K watercraft operator, skill levels 1 through 4. It will provide the subject matter that relates directly to the common technical tasks listed in STP 55-88K14-SM-TG. The U.S. Army's environmental strategy into the 21st century defines the Army's leadership commitment and philosophy for meeting present and future environmental challenges. It provides a framework to ensure that environmental stewardship ethic governs all Army activities. The Army's environmental vision is to be a national leader in environmental and natural resource stewardship for present and future generations, as an integral part of all Army missions. The Army's environmental vision statement communicates the Army's commitment to the environment. This TC applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve.
This Rate Training Manual and Nonresident Career Course (RTM/NRCC) form a self-study package that will greatly aid ambitious Engineering Aids in fulfilling the requirements of their rating. Among these requirements are the abilities to perform tasks required in construction surveying, construction drafting, planning and estimating, and quality control; prepare progress reports, time records, construction schedules, and material and labor estimates; and establish and operate a basic quality control system for testing soils and concrete.
