INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose This manual is intended to provide engineer and other military personnel at all levels, including operations and planning officers, with a compilation of data for use as a guide in the logistical planning of engineer activities. 2. Scope a. The manual includes logistical data pertaining to engineer troops, equipment, materials, and installations, and to all types of engineer activities, including fortifications, camouflage, roads, railroads, bridges, airfields, utilities, and general construction. It also contains miscellaneous physical and mathematical data and conversion tables. b. The material presented heroin is applicable without modification to both nuclear and non-nuclear warfare. 3. Relation to Other Manuals Various manuals of the FM 5-, TM 5-, and AFM 88-series con- tain detailed logistical data on the above topics, and on individual items of engineer equipment in temperate climates. This manual is confined to summarizing such information and stating what sources should be consulted for further details. 3 CHAPTER 2 ENGINEER TROOPS 4. General FM 5-5 sets forth the mission, assignments, capabilities, organiza- tion, and normal employment of all engineer troop units. The TOE’s for these units give further personnel and equipment details. 5. Strength oí Engineer Units The tabulation in table 1 gives basic data on engineer troop units; that in table 2, on engineer teams listed in TOE 5-500C. The data is subject to change and the latest appropriate TOE list should also be consulted. 4 Table 1.
