This manual provides doctrinal guidance concerning organization and functions of division transportation operations in all types of Army divisions operating in an oversea wartime environment. It is designed for use by commanders and their staffs at division, division support command, and other command levels who have responsibili- ty for providing transportation support of division operations. It is also of interest to commanders and staffs of supported combat, combat support, and combat service support units of the division. MISSION OF COMBAT ARMS UNITS The mission of the combat arms units is to meet the enemy and destroy his ability to wage warfare-to win the land battles, large or small. This is accomplished by employing the firepower and mobility of division ar- mored, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and at- tack helicopter units in various com- binations.
