Combat Leaders' Guide - Effective Tactics, Techniques and Procedures is both an extract of doctrinal publications and a compilation of combat leaders guidetactics, techniques and procedures(TTPs). It is principally designed as a pocket reference and memory-jogger.

Some TTPs you have learned in training do not appear here. The material in this job aid comes from the doctrinal literature program.

Laminate pages to be written on; remove, reorganize or tab pages based on your mission; insert other job aids, TTPs or SOPs as needed.
