FM 3-90 Tactics – 2023 – Mini size

FM 3-90 Tactics describes combat-tested tactics and techniques for offensive, defensive, and enabling operations. For each type of operation FM 3-90 discusses the organization of forces; minimum essential control measures; and general planning, preparation, and execution considerations.

FM 3-90 is applicable to all members of the profession of arms. The principal audience are practitioners of military tactics, students of the various professional development courses.

FM 3-90 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.

FM 3-90 (Tactics) merges the 2013 versions of FM 3-90-1 (Offense and Defense Volume 1) and FM 3-90-2 (Reconnaissance, Security, and Tactical Enabling Tasks Volume 2) into a single comprehensive volume on offensive, defensive, and enabling 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)
