Book Description
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.

Book Description
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).

Book Description
Materials Testing provides the technical information necessary for military personnel to obtain samples and perform engineering tests and calculations on soils, bituminous paving mixtures, and concrete. These tests and calculations are required to achieve proper design with soils, bituminous paving mixtures, and concrete and to achieve adequate control over their use in military construction. This manual covers soils, aggregates, bituminous cements, bituminous paving mixtures, portland cement concrete, and stabilized soil, including stabilizing agents (bitumens, cements, lime, fly ash, chemical modifiers). It gives detailed instructions for taking adequate representative test samples and step-by-step procedures for making physical-properties tests and for recording, calculating, and evaluating test results. This manual explains methods for designing bituminous paving mixtures and stabilizing soil. It also gives the procedures and tests required to control the manufacturing of these mixtures. It describes the tools and equipment needed for performing tests and contains general instructions for the care, calibration, and use of test equipment. This manual is adopted for use by the United States Marine Corps (USMC), United States Navy (USN), United States Air Force (USAF) personnel. Certain tests and procedures prescribed differ in principle or method and are more detailed than counterpart tests that are currently required by the U.S. Navy for new construction at Navy installations (including those in forward areas). The USMC engineer units perform field identification testing only. The USMC does not possess the tools or facilities required to perform the more deliberate laboratory tests described in parts of this publication. The test procedures and terminology used in this manual conform to the latest methods and specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Concrete Institute, and the Portland Cement Association (PCA). The tests in this manual also apply to arctic construction. However, cold-weather effects present different problems and additional tests will be required for correct evaluation of the materials. These additional tests and considerations associated with arctic construction are in TM 5-349.
