The Army subsequently issued Field Manual FM 3-97.61 Military Mountaineering. Military mountaineering is a means to enable a commander to negotiate complex terrain both ascent and descent in mountainous environments using ropes and other specialized equipment Military mountaineers understand how environmental factors and terrain can be overcome and used to gain an advantage over enemy forces. Topics such as intelligence collection offensive and defensive postures sustainment operations direct and indirect fires and communications are examined by military mountaineers. Mountainous environments have variables that elevate the risk level because of the lack of mobility or how quickly the weather can change while the same mission in other terrain would be low risk and routine. Basic Military Mountaineering training provides soldiers in the fundamental knowledge and skills required to successfully conduct small-unit operations in typical mountainous terrain found throughout the world. Advanced training builds on previous instruction and trains soldiers in the knowledge and skills required to lead small units and teams over technically difficult hazardous or exposed mountainous terrain during summer months. The course is intended for units or individuals who will conduct operations in mountainous terrain and must operate independently of major units or organizations or who will lead larger organizations over technically hazardous terrain.

1985réf. 73443W: U. S. Department of the Army 1985. Supersedes GTA 3-6-2 June 1975. Ephemera. Good. Single sheet printed on both sides 10 inches by 12 inches. Folded and re-folded so that there are 16 panels eight on each side. Two panels are for notes and is almost completely blank space. Illustrations. Pencil erasure residue on title panel. The primary means of warning units of an actual or predicted CB hazard is the NBC Warning and Reporting system NBCWRS. It is a key in limiting the effects of attacks. The NBCWRS allows units to determine required protective measures and plan operations. Units take action depending on the mission and type of hazard present. Affected units alter plans to avoid the hazard. The units can upgrade protective measures and occupy or cross the hazard area. The NBCWRS consists of six reports. Each is standardized. The six standard reports are- NBC 1-Initial report used for passing basic data compiled at unit level. NBC 2-Report used for passing evaluated data. NBC 3-Report used for immediate warning of predicted contamination and hazard areas. NBC 4-Report used for passing monitoring and survey results. NBC 5-Report used for passing information on areas of actual contamination. NBC 6-Report used for passing detailed information on chemical or biological attacks. The reports use standard formats. The warning and reporting system is based on a code letter system. NBC has been updated to be described as Chemical biological radiological and nuclear defense CBRN defense or CBRNE defense is protective measures taken in situations in which chemical biological radiological or nuclear warfare including terrorism hazards may be present. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation. A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope i.e. CBRN can be a mass casualty situation and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents. This ephemeral training aid was distributed to US Army Training and Audio-visual Support Centers TASC. Distribution was restricted because it contained technical or operational information that was for official government use only. Distribution was limited to US government agencies. Request for release outside the US government needed to be made to HQ TRADOC Fort Monroe Virginia. Due to its age and advances in technical and operational information it is understood that this distribution restriction no longer applies. U. S. Department of the Army unknown

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Army Research Office ARO mission is to serve as the Army's premier extramural basic research agency in the engineering physical information and life sciences; developing and exploiting innovative advances to insure the Nation's technological superiority. Basic research proposals from educational institutions nonprofit organizations and private industry are competitively selected and funded. ARO's research mission represents the most long-range Army view for changes in its technology. ARO priorities fully integrate Army-wide long-range planning for research development and acquisition. ARO executes its mission through conduct of an aggressive basic science research program on behalf of the Army so that cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the general store of scientific knowledge will be optimally used to develop and improve weapons systems that establish land force dominance. The ARO research program consists principally of extramural academic research efforts consisting of single investigator efforts university-affiliated research centers and specially tailored outreach programs. Each approach has its own objectives and set of advantages. Programs are formulated in consultation with the Army Research Laboratory Directorates; the Research Development and Engineering Command's Research Development and Engineering Centers; the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command; the Army Corps of Engineers; and the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences. The programs are also jointly coordinated and planned through the Defense Science and Technology Reliance process under the Basic Research Panel. U.S. Army Research Office paperback
