Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-04.17 describes forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operations for aviation units. It also includes planning considerations for FARP setup and transportation planning considerations for Class III and V products.

*Introduction

ATP 3-04.17 provides techniques to assist with shaping the way Army Aviation conducts FARP operations. ATP 3-04.17 expands upon aviation specific information discussed in ATP 4-43 and serves as the primary reference publication for effectively managing aviation FARP operations.

ATP 3-04.17 contains four chapters and seven appendices:

• Chapter 1 provides information about a FARPs purpose, organization, and mission command.
• Chapter 2 outlines FARP employment planning factors for areas such as refueling equipment requirements, refueling operations requirements, arming operations requirements and operational environment.
• Chapter 3 provides information on FARP related training.
• Chapter 4 outlines FARP sustainment related planning considerations for resupply, Class III, Class V, Argon Gas, and transportation.

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
