About

This manual sets forth basic guidance for commanders and staff officers for planning and executing riverine warfare. While this manual reflects riverine warfare as conducted in the Repub- lic of Vietnam where it was field evaluated, the principles, procedures, and techniques expressed, should be applicable to worldwide riverine environments where a riverine force may be employed. Riverine warfare differs from conventional ground warfare chiefly in environment. The fundamentals and tactics applicable in convention- al ground operations apply in riverine operations. Special organization, techniques, and operating procedures are required when ground forces, supported by Navy ships and crafts, operate directly from inland waterways. By their nature, riverine operations are joint operations undertaken primarily by Army and Navy forces.
