About

Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (ATTP) 1-19, U.S. Army Bands, is the key doctrinal publication of Army bands. It outlines the fundamental principles of employing Army bands and provides an overview of operational considerations and the internal structure of Army bands. WHAT HAS CHANGED With the approval of the Force Design Update in May 2006, Army bands created small, flexible, and mobile teams designed to be capable of concurrent performances that reach more Soldiers in more locations globally. Army bands historically employed separate groups and ensembles from within the full band; current doctrine formalizes the practice. This modular design adjusts quantities of equipment to reflect the new personnel structure and mission, increasing flexibility to support troop morale, and expanding the ability for concurrent operations.
