Army techniques publication (ATP) 3-94.2, Deep Operations, is designed to reintroduce the importance of the deep area and the fundamental responsibility of division and corps to shape conditions for subordinate units in the close area. This publication describes deep operations in the context of the operations process and offers techniques for identifying opportunities to exploit the enemy in the deep area. It describes the major capabilities and activities that support deep operations and provides special considerations that are required to effectively plan, prepare, execute, and assess deep operations. While the commander has a number of options available to set conditions in the deep area, this publication focuses specifically on artillery strikes and aviation attacks.
ATP 3-94.2 contains three chapters:
Chapter 1 discusses deep operations with an introduction, operational framework, deep operations and capabilities, as well as characteristics for effective deep operations.
Chapter 2 discusses deep operations in the operations process, the commander’s role, and planning, preparing, executing, and assessing.
Chapter 3 discusses staff responsibilities and planning with an introduction and a discussion of command post cells and planning of deep operations.
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)
