ATP 3-34.20 Countering Explosive Hazards – 2016 – Mini size

ATP 3-34.20/MCRP 3-17.2D provides the overarching framework for how combat engineers apply their disciplines/functions of combat engineering, general engineering, and geospatial engineering to countering explosive hazards. It clarifies the terms and the language that engineers and the combined arms team use in countering explosive hazards so that actions taken by combat engineers and units to counter explosive hazards are communicated clearly and precisely. ATP 3-34.20/MCRP 3-17.2D addresses those topics regarding countering explosive hazards that are not captured in other engineer doctrinal publications.

The primary purpose of ATP 3-34.20/MCRP 3-17.2D is to describe how combat engineers counter explosive hazards in support of ground forces during offensive, defensive, and stability operations to provide commanders with freedom of action. A secondary purpose of ATP 3-34.20/MCRP 3-17.2D is to clarify how engineers should think about explosive hazards and to refocus engineers on understanding and using precise doctrinal terminology to ensure that what engineers communicate regarding explosive hazards cannot be misunderstood.

The principal target audience for ATP 3-34.20/MCRP 3-17.2D is engineer leaders and staffs from platoon level up to Corps level. However, all leaders will benefit from reading it. Trainers, educators, and capability developers throughout the Army and Marine Corps will also use this publication.

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)
