The guidelines in this publication should be followed as closely as possible within the constraints and restrictions of the tactical situation. ATP 4-31, Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR), is the revision of FM 4-30.31, Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair. ATP 4-31 provides an overview of the battlefield recovery, and battle damage assessment and repair for the fundamental purpose of returning combat assets to the battlefield as soon as possible. It also explains the difference between recovery operations with its different types and methods and the battle assessment and repairs. This publication also reviews the rigging procedures and the utilization of the mechanical advantage to accomplish the mission. Overviews the recovery methods, techniques and the safety precautions associated with each recovery operation. Major changes from FM 4-30.31 include an improved hand and arm signals for day and night recovery operations
This manual, “Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (FM 4-30.31),” provides the authoritative doctrine guidance on using recovery and repair assets on the battlefield. Practical methods of recovering or repairing equipment (disabled or immobilized) due to hazardous terrain, mechanical failure, or a hostile action are also addressed. Field manual (FM) 4-30.31 is directed toward both the leader and the technician. Tactically, it provides an overview of how recovery and battle damage assessment and repair (BDAR) assets are employed on the battlefield. Technically, it provides principles of resistance and mechanical applications to overcome them. Equipment, rigging techniques, and expedient repairs are summarized as a refresher for recovery-trained military personnel and as general guidance for others. The procedures and doctrine in this manual apply to both wartime operations and military operations other than war. Normally, BDAR should be used when and where standard maintenance practices are not practical because of the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations (METT-TC) or METT-T space and logistics (METT-TSL) for USMC. BDAR is not intended to replace standard maintenance practices but rather to supplement them under certain conditions. Standard maintenance procedures provide the best, most effective means of returning disabled equipment to the operational commander—provided adequate time, parts, and tools are available. High-risk battle damage repairs (involving possible danger to personnel or further damage to equipment) are only permitted in emergencies, normally in a battlefield environment, and only when authorized by the unit commander or his designated representative. The goal is to return a combat system to the battlefield in the least amount of time, while minimizing danger to personnel and equipment. BDAR techniques are not limited to simply restoring minimal functional combat capability. If full mission capability can be restored expediently with a limited expenditure of time and assets, it should be restored. This decision is based on METT-TC. Some BDAR techniques, if applied, may result in shortened lifespan or further damage to components. The commander must decide whether the risk of having one less piece of equipment outweighs the risk of applying a potentially destructive field-expedient repair. Each technique provides appropriate warnings and cautions, which list the system's limitations caused by the action. Personnel must use ground guides and extreme caution when operating recovery assets around or on an aircraft.

This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-33 Maintenance Operations Change 1 November 2019, describes operational Army maintenance operations and focuses on the conduct of maintenance operations at the operational and tactical-level. Its primary focus is on maintenance organizations and their missions, but also addresses the roles and functions of strategic level maintenance organizations that provide logistics and individual Soldier support services. The principal audience for ATP 4-33 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. ATP 4-33 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.The United States Army is organized, trained, and equipped to be the most decisive land force in the world. Army forces are employed within a strategic context and conduct decisive sustainable land operations through the simultaneous combination of offensive, defensive, and stability or defense support of civil authorities tasks. The Army developed two-level maintenance doctrine to support this type of warfare. In supporting the Army, the primary goal of two-level maintenance is to generate/regenerate combat power and to preserve the capital investment of weapon systems and equipment to enable mission readiness and accomplishment. The commander who combines the skillful use of assigned equipment with an effective maintenance management processes has a decided advantage. The purpose of this ATP is to provide a clear description of the two-level maintenance structure and base operating requirements enabling commanders to provide flexible maintenance support to meet operational objectives. Our Soldiers are trained to perform field-level maintenance. Leaders have to provide time on the training schedule for them to build their skills. Training is the cornerstone to a successful unit support mission by ensuring that ready equipment is available for operations. With all this in mind, leaders must ensure that personnel utilize adequate safety precautions and personal protective equipment in every operation-our Soldiers are our greatest asset. ATP 4-33 has numerous changes from the previous ATP 4-33. The most significant changes are an enhanced discussion on two-level maintenance, updates on other maintenance formations, and an enhanced discussion of Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army).
Technical Manual TM 4-33.31 (TM 4-33.31 ) Cold Weather Maintenance Operations February 2017This technical manual (TM) provides general principles and technical guidance for field maintenance, for the operation and repair of equipment under cold weather conditions from freezing down to temperatures below -65 degrees Fahrenheit (�F) -54 degrees Celsius (�C). This manual assists unit commanders, supervisors (maintenance officers, motor sergeants, and section leaders), and maintenance personnel in anticipating and planning for the onset of cold weather or an arctic deployment. Operations in cold environments occurs at the limit of what is safe and what is dangerous. Maintainers and operators should refer to the item specific technical manual (TM) or lubrication order (LO) as the primary source of information and guidance for maintenance procedures. Failure to follow this guidance and item specific TMs can result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment, impairing or preventing mission accomplishment. In a field environment, operators must make every reasonable effort to follow TM procedures. This manual is intended to familiarize equipment operators and item maintainers with information on the unique difficulties that equipment operators and maintainers can expect to encounter in cold weather operations. It shows ways to adjust maintenance operations in cold weather, and the properties of materials they can expect in below freezing temperatures. It provides a consolidated overview of the special and unique difficulties that equipment operators and maintainers can expect to encounter in cold weather operations. Although much of the information in this TM is available in other doctrinal and technical publications, this TM provides a general summary of cold weather operations that ties together and prioritizes ADRP 4-0, Sustainment, ATP 4-33, Maintenance Operations, FM 4-30, Ordnance Operations, and ATP 3-90.97, Mountain Warfare and Cold Weather Operations, along with related technical publications into a broad spectrum of best practices for maintainers and equipment operators. This TM is focused on a combat environment where Soldiers cannot always count on the resources that sustained them in garrison to always be available. In a crises, Soldiers in combat do field expedient things to survive, even if it means destroying equipment to complete a mission and avoid losing their lives. Though such expedient repairs are temporary in nature until more reliable repairs can be performed. Principles in this manual are based on ATP 4-31, Recovery and Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR). The intent is to stimulate critical thinking that is unit specific, to support development of mission focused standard operating procedures. This manual is for commanders who are preparing their troops for the fight; and for the troops working hard to stay in the fight. If the combat situation forces them to resort to a field expedient solution, this manual is intended to help Soldiers make the right decision with the right information. Commanders and leaders must weigh the information in this manual to determine what is relevant to the mission and situation they are confronting. Dealing with cold is not an issue that can be well defined with black and white limits. For some equipment and products, the adverse effects of cold can occur even at temperatures above the freezing point of water. Although this manual deals with temperatures under 40 �F (4 �C), it is slanted toward the severe cold temperatures at about +19�F (-20�C) to -50�F (-45�C). The focus of this TM is planning and execution of maintenance operations in severe cold environments. The tactical combat employment of weapons and equipment is beyond the scope of this publication. Likewise, this manual addresses human factor concerns in a general context, but the primary medical guidance source is the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDC&S).
This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-46 (FM 4-20.64) Contingency Fatality Operations December 2014, revises field manual (FM) 4-20.64, Mortuary Affairs Operations. It provides a single, ready reference for units and Soldiers. The focus of the ATP is on techniques used by Soldiers, small unit leaders, civilians, contractors or host nation personnel physically responsible for handling, transporting, receiving, or storing human remains or personal effects (PE). This publication will address the new force design of the mortuary affairs units, and emphasize safety and the mortuary affairs reporting and tracking system (MARTS). The principal audience for ATP 4-46 is commanders, staffs, Soldiers at all levels, leaders, instructors, at military institutions, students, and doctrine and training developers. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. The title of ATP 4-46 has been changed to Contingency Fatality Operations to appropriately reflect the actual intended focus and content of the manual. ATP 4-46, Contingency Fatality Operations, serves as a planning and operations guide for all personnel involved in mortuary affairs (MA) within a theater of operations (TO). MA provides for the search, recovery, identification, preparation, and disposition of human remains of persons for whom the Services are responsible by status and Executive Order. The Department of Defense (DOD) Executive Steering Committee (ESC) determined that Mortuary Affairs required delineation to identify the Contingency Fatality Operations. Contingency Fatality Operations provides for the search and recovery, contamination mitigation, tentative identification, preparation and temporary disposition of human remains of persons covered under JP 4-06 during contingency operations. (This includes PE). The mortuary operations process is the point from which human remains are released by the Medical Examiner to the point where remains are evacuated to a receiving funeral home designated by the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD). ATP 4-46 contains four chapters and five appendixes: Chapter 1 discusses the role of the MA personnel, the geographic combatant commanders (GCC), and how these commanders with geographic responsibilities, designate theaters of operation, area of operations (AO), and line of communications (LOC) throughout a TO. This chapter also addresses why contingency fatality operations must be planned in detail from the unit through the joint level. Chapter 2 describes the new quartermaster mortuary affairs company's mission and all of its functions. The responsibilities are addressed to include the organization structure. This will guide the MA personnel on their role to search for, recover, tentatively identify, and coordinate evacuating remains through the appropriate evacuation systems. Chapter 3 discusses the concepts of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. This allows units to have the basic knowledge to plan, prepare and execute the basis of contingency fatality operations. Chapter 4 refers to commanders responsibilities; they include the search for, recovery, and evacuation of remains and associated PE to the nearest MA facility. Commanders of all Army units have the responsibility to care for deceased personnel within their AO. Commanders may be tasked to conduct search and recovery operations for remains of individuals of other nations or services. Appendix A shows an example of mortuary affairs unit standing operating procedure (SOP) Appendix B has an example of an operation order for mortuary affairs Appendix C the commonly used forms and instructions on their completion Appendix D depicts the information of the old quartermaster collection company (MA) Appendix E depicts the information of the old quartermaster mortuary affairs company
