Logistics & Engineering Operations
These Logistics and Engineering operations manuals are specially written for use in a military or survival context. Such topics as bridge building engineering, defense structures and underground construction are covered as well as moving cargo efficiently and effectively.

Engineering is the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. The Engineers’ Council for Professional Development, also known as ECPD, defines Engineering as: “The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property.”

The broad discipline of engineering encompasses a range of specialized sub disciplines that focus on the issues associated with developing a specific kind of product, or using a specific type of technology.

The engineering operations handbooks in this section suggest, explain and provide plans for many different constructions essential in combat, warfare and survival.

Static Operations

This manual states the doctrine, policy and guidelines for the conduct of land equipment maintenance functions in static operations. It expands on Land Maintenance System, which describes the basic principles, doctrine, and policies governing the organization, personnel and equipment that form the Land Maintenance System (LMS).


Tactical-Level Logistics

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication, Tactical–Level Logistics, provides the doctrinal basis for the planning and execution of ground and aviation logistic support for Marine air–ground task force (MAGTF) operations at the tactical level of war.


Transportation Operations

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication Transportation Operations, addresses the fundamental principles required for the planning and execution of Marine air–ground task force (MAGTF) transportation operations.


General Engineering

This US Army Field Manual – General Engineering – provides a doctrinal basis for the planning and execution of general engineering in the Theater of Operations. General engineering sustains military forces in the theater through the performance of facility construction and repair, and through acquisition, maintenance, and disposal of real property.


Maintenance In Battle

Armies, from the time of the Roman Empire, have recognized the requirement to have dedicated personnel to repair equipment. The aim of " Maintenance in Battle", is to describe how Land Electrical and Mechanical Engineers support the army in battle.


Military Movement Control

This manual describes the organizations, processes, procedures, and systems involved in the control of movements across the military spectrum. The focus of this manual is for the reader to gain an understanding of the movement control system and how it functions from the strategic to the tactical level.


Rear Area Operations

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication, Rear Area Operations, describes the Marine Corps’ approach to rear area operations. It provides general doctrinal guidance for the Marine Corps component and the Marine air–ground task force (MAGTF) commander and staff responsible for executing rear area operations.


Countermobility Methods

The foundation for engineer doctrine in the AirLand Battle is built with combined mobility, countermobility, and survivability efforts. This manual provides the basic framework of fielded and developmental countermobility methods, planning, and execution with the purpose of integrating countermobility into the overall AirLand Battle structure.


Engineer Reconnaissance

This army field manual describes how engineer recon teams support and augment a maneuver battalion or brigade's recon effort. This manual serves as a guide for both brigade and task force (TF) engineers, as well as for subordinate leaders (especially recon team leaders) in planning, integrating, and conducting recon operations.


Engineering Operations

This publication provides general information on the numerous capabilities engineers bring to the battle, from planning through to the execution of an operation. It provides guidance for planning and coordinating engineer support and explains the unique command and support relationships of engineers.


Field Fortifications - Self-Testing Course

Field fortifications are natural or man-made protective features used as defensive obstacles, personnel and weapons shelters, and protected firing positions. This sub-course teaches you how to construct personnel, vehicle, and weapons emplacements, entrenchments, shelters, entanglements, and obstacles under various climatic conditions.


Fundamentals Of Engineering - Supplied Reference Handbook

Fundamentals Of Engineering - Supplied Reference Handbook, is a copy of the only reference material allowed in the FE exam room. Review this book prior to the exam to become familiar with the charts, formulas, tables, and other reference information it provides.


Airborne Operations

This manual discusses the employment of airborne brigades, battalions, and regiments in airborne operations within the context of the Air/Land Battle. It sets forth tactical and administrative support doctrine for the employment of Army forces in joint airborne operations.


Army Rail Operations

This manual describes the organizations, processes, procedures, and systems involved in the rail operations across the military spectrum. The focus of this manual is for the reader to gain an understanding of the army rail system and how it functions.


Combat Service Support

The purpose of this manual is to provide the authoritative doctrine by which the Army's combat service support (CSS), as part of the national–theater CSS system, supports full spectrum operations. This manual serves as the Army’s keystone CSS doctrine and bridges the gap between Army doctrine and joint and multinational doctrine.


Combined Arms Obstacle Integration

The doctrine presented in this manual seeks to develop the full potential of obstacles as a component of combat power. Each chapter contains tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) that take the doctrinal foundation and provide the "How To" connection.


Construction Management

This course presents a survey of the functions of management, the principles governing the functions and their ability to apply them to construction management. An understanding of these factors and the ability to apply them to construction projects is essential to the engineer company commander and the members of the battalion staff.
