About

Once the use of ADM has been authorized, responsibility for ADM employment is normally decentralized to the lowest tactical echelon capable of conducting ADM mission planning, coordination, and execution; for example, a divi- sion, an armored cavalry regiment, or a separate brigade. d. ADM are primarily employed against mate- riel targets rather than personnel, thus constitut- ing an addition to the present family of military explosives. Their use parallels or complements those of conventional demolitions. Employment of ADM rather than conventional explosives is usually dictated by the resultant savings in time, manpower, and logistical effort. e. ADM are employed in conformance with tactical requirements to deter the enemy and deny the use of key structures and installations.
