Inhaltsangabe

This unique electronic book on CD-ROM has a complete reproduction of the U.S. Army Field Manual, Armored Security Vehicle FM 3-19.6 (116 pages). In addition, as a bonus, there are reproductions of over 100 vital U.S. Army Field Manuals covering such topics as combat, arms, operations, training, support, and dozens of special topics! This manual provides MP forces with the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and related information for the contemporary operating environment. This manual will optimize the capabilities of our MP forces as they conduct area security, maneuver, and mobility support operations. The ASV equips MP forces with a unique platform unmatched by other combat support (CS) or combat service support (CSS) branches. The ASV enables MP forces to mitigate a host of contemporary threats while affording maximum protection to the crew. Employing the ASV in Army and joint operations expands the ability of the maneuver commander to project force protection and sustainment operations throughout the area of operations (AO). Army and joint operations (such as Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom) have spawned an increase in interest and production of the ASV to support such operations. Accordingly, this doctrine is drawn largely from lessons learned in those operations. Specifically, the contents of this manual are a direct product of veterans with ASV operational experience in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The ASV enables MP forces to observe the battlefield and engage the enemy while remaining secure behind vehicle armor. The armor protection provided by the ASV is considerable. It is, however, vulnerable, especially to tanks and fighting vehicles. Armor provides limited protection against antitank guns, missiles, or rockets. This means that the MP leader must carefully analyze every situation and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of mounted combat. The ASV allows MP forces to fight mounted in both offensive and defensive scenarios. Deciding whether to fight mounted or dismounted depends on the factors of METT-TC. These fundamental factors are synonymous with the five basic rules of combat: secure, move, shoot, communicate, and sustain.
