With the Cold War over, it is obvious that many future operations will take place in an urbanized environment. Grenada, Panama, Haiti, and Somalia are recent examples of combat operations conducted under these conditions. The current doctrine for conducting urban combat operations can be found in Field Manual (FM) 90-10, Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain, 1979, and FM 90-10-1, An Infaniryman's Guide to Combat in Built-up Areas, 1993, with Change 1 published in 1995, These doctrinal manuals include many of the lessons identified in this newsletter. However, many more lessons are uncovered daily in conjunction with unit training and at rotations conducted at the Combat Training Centers (CTCs). These lessons in the form of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) can be incorporated into the Army library and vernacular.
