- FM 3-11Publication
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operations
FM 3-11 is the Army's overarching CBRN manual. It covers how units assess, protect against, and mitigate CBRN threats and hazards, and how CBRN capabilities support countering weapons of mass destruction. The April 2025 edition supersedes the May 2019 version.

ATP 2-01.3 is the staff process for evaluating terrain, weather, civil considerations, and the threat in a specific operational environment. The 2019 edition renamed the process from intelligence preparation of the battlefield to intelligence preparation of the operational environment, and the posted file now incorporates change 3, dated May 2025. It is a whole-staff product, not just an S2 product.
- ADP 3-0Publication
Operations
ADP 3-0 is the Army's capstone description of how it conducts operations. The March 2025 edition carries multidomain operations as the Army's operational concept and supersedes the July 2019 edition.

- FM 3-0Publication
Operations
FM 3-0 is the Army's capstone operations manual: how Army forces contribute landpower to the joint force and integrate joint capabilities on land. The March 2025 edition builds on multidomain operations and focuses on large-scale combat against a peer threat. If you are on a division or corps staff, this is the manual you argue from.

How do you treat a suspected heatstroke casualty?
Treat it as a life-threatening emergency. Move the casualty to shade, strip off gear and outer clothing, and start cooling immediately with water, ice sheets, or immersion while fanning. Do not force fluids into an unconscious casualty. Request MEDEVAC and keep cooling while you wait.
- Board question
What are the five steps of the OPSEC process?

- Board question
What are your priorities during care under fire?
Return fire and gain fire superiority, keep yourself from becoming a casualty, and get the casualty to cover if it can be done safely. The only medical treatment expected is stopping life-threatening extremity bleeding with a tourniquet. Airway management and detailed assessment wait until tactical field care.
