doctrine; integrates the
three engineer functions
of combat, general, and
geospatial engineering;
and addresses engineer
operations across the
entire spectrum of
operations.
Status: Published.
Organizational Manuals
FM 3-34.22 Engineer Pending This new manual will
(FM 3-34.221) Operations-- (Jan 05) encompass engineer
(FM 5-71-2) Brigade Combat (Jun 96) operations in support of
(FM 5.71-3) Team and Below (Oct 95) brigade combat teams
(FM 5-7-30) (Dec 94) (BCTs) (heavy, infantry,
and Stryker-the armored
cavalry regiment) and
their primary subordinate
units (infantry
battalion, Stryker
battalion, combined arms
battalion, and the
reconnaissance squadron).
This manual will
supersede FM 3-34.221,

production and creation
of the engineer running
estimate. It provides
examples of a
survivability
capabilities card,
matrix, and timeline to
assist with the planning,
revision, and conduct of
specific survivability
tasks. The USMC plans to
adopt this manual as
well.
Status: On hold; no
rewrite date projected.
FM 334.400 General Nov 86 This manual describes the
(FM 5.104) Engineering operational environment
(OE) and how to apply and
integrate general
engineering principles in
support of full spectrum
operations. It focuses on
the establishment and
maintenance of lines of
communication and
engineer support to
sustainment operations
throughout the area of
operations. Although not
designated as a
multi-Service
publication, it is
intended to inform all
Service components of the
types of general
engineering tasks,
planning considerations,
the variety of units
available to perform
them, and the
capabilities of Army
engineers to accomplish
them. The USMC
designation will be added
to this manual.
Status: Published 9
December 2008.
General Engineering
FM 3-34.410 Design of Aug 94; This manual will serve as
Volumes I & II Theater of Sep 94 a reference for engineer

& 5-430-00-2) Roads, of joint and theater
Airfields, and operations (TO) in the
Helipads design of roads,
airfields, and helipads.
It is currently dual-
designated with the Air
Force. The Air Force (as
well as the Navy and
USMC) plans to adopt the
new manual also.
Status: Pending
completion of drainage
chapter.
FM 3-34.451 Materials Dec 92 This manual will provide
(FM 5-472) Testing technical information for
obtaining samples and
performing engineering
tests and calculations on
soils, bituminous paving
mixtures, and concrete.
For use in military
construction. The test
procedures and
terminology will conform
to the latest methods and
specifications of the
American Society for
Testing and Materials
(ASTM), the American
Concrete Institute (ACI),
and the Portland Cement
Association (PCA), with
alternate field testing
methods and sampling
techniques when complete
lab facilities are
unavailable or
