About

1. Contents This manual contains the basic doctrine for the operations of engineer troop units in a theater of operations. Both the combat and the communica- tions zone are discussed, with emphasis on the units of a field army. 2. Part One Part One covers the control of engineer operations by commanders, together with activities which are not an end in themselves but an essential to opera- tions ; that is, staff planning and supervision, intelli- gence and reconnaissance, estimates, plans, orders, supply, maintenance, and signal communications. 3. Part Two Part Two covers the conduct of engineer opera- tions. Doctrine rather than technique is empha- sized. The sequence of treatment is by function. 4. Teamplay Engineer units are part of the United States Army team. While many of their tasks are specialized, they are related to analogous activities of the Army as a whole.
