Joint Publication 3-34 Joint Engineer Operations 06 January 2016 PREFACE 1. Scope This publication provides doctrine for the command and control, planning, and execution of joint engineer operations. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations, and it provides considerations for military interaction with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, multinational forces, and other interorganizational partners. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs), and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing and executing their plans and orders. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of objectives. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the joint staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, the Services, and combat support agencies. b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the US, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command’s doctrine and procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine. For the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: WILLIAM C. MAYVILLE, JR. LTG, USA Director, Joint Staff i Preface Intentionally Blank ii JP 3-34 SUMMARY OF CHANGES REVISION OF JOINT PUBLICATION 3-34 DATED 30 JUNE 2011 • Clarifies understanding of engineer support using the joint phase model by providing task relation by phase. • Clarifies the definition of general engineering. • Clarifies the definition of combat engineering. • Updates the capabilities and functions of the Service engineer forces. • Updates the capabilities and functions of engineer staff. • Updates typical funding and command and control relationships. • Updates the Service engineer capability matrix. • Adds definition of restricted area. • Rescinds definition of advanced base, F-hour, Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer (RED HORSE), and route classification. • Updates references and acronyms. iii Summary of Changes Intentionally Blank iv JP 3-34 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................... ix CHAPTER I JOINT ENGINEER FUNDAMENTALS Engineer Support in Joint Operations ........................................................................
