21st Century US Army Field Manuals Northern Operations Cold Weather Operations FM 3171 - Ringbound
Author: U.S. Army

This ringbound book provides a reproduction of the U.S. Army Field Manual, Northern Operations, FM 31-71, 129 pages. This manual provides doctrinal guidance to commanders and staffs for operation and administration of combat, combat support, and combat service support units in the northern regions of the world. The material contained in this... more » manual is directed primarily toward operations below division level. Operations at division level and above will be essentially the same as those in other areas of the world. It is the forward elements of divisions or task forces that must overcome the many summer and winter problems inherent in northern operations. Commanders and staff officers at all levels must understand and appreciate the effects of the northern environment on the operations of these forward units and carefully consider them when planning each operation. The contents of this manual are applicable (1) General war, to include a consideration of the employment and protection from nuclear munitions and chemical, biological, and radiological agents; and operations in nuclear, chemical, or biological environments. (2) Limited war. (3) Cold war, to include stability operations assistance in internal defense and internal development operations. The area of northern operations for purposes of this manual, is defined as those northern areas of the Northern Hemisphere which lies north of the temperate zone where environmental conditions require the application of special techniques and equipment that normally are not required for operations in a more temperate climate. Included in both summer and winter operations are the considerations of mountain operations and inadequate land lines of communications. Although the area of northern operations is graphically described, the doctrine and techniques put forth in this manual may be applicable in any area of the world that has snow and cold weather. The term northern operations, as applied to this manual, includes both the Arctic and subarctic. About 45 percent of the North American continent and 65 percent of the Eurasian land mass lie in these regions. Cold weather operations, operations in the subarctic, arctic operations, operations in the far north, operations in northern latitudes, polar operations, and operations on polar ice, will be considered synonymous and will be combined under the all encompassing term, "northern operations." This term embraces operations in both summer and winter. Contents include: Effects of environment on military operations, mobility, operations, planning, combat intelligence, patrolling, offensive ops, airmobile operations, combat, armor units, artillery, nuclear weapons, engineers, combat service support, communications, tactical operations, training, boat procedures.
