FM 3-96 Brigade Combat Team – 2021 – BIG size

BCTs provide the Army with multiple options for responding to and resolving crises. The BCT, within the division or corps scheme of maneuver, defeats enemy forces, controls terrain, secures populations, and preserves joint force freedom of action.

Army FM 3-96 Brigade Combat Team provides doctrine for the brigade combat team (BCT). This manual describes how the BCT, as part of a joint team, shapes operational environments, prevents conflict, conducts large-scale ground combat, and consolidates gains against a peer threat. FM 3-96 describes relationships, organizational roles and functions, capabilities and limitations, and responsibilities within the BCT.  FM 3-96 applies to the three maneuver BCT types: Infantry, Stryker, and Armored.

The principal audience for FM 3-96 is the commanders, staffs, officers, and noncommissioned officers of the brigade, battalions, and squadron within the BCT.
