The United States (U.S.) Army watercraft fleet is made up of all types of vessels, including oceangoing vessels, tugs, landing craft, and barges. Although all of these vessels operate on water, their missions are different. The watercraft operator must have the skills and knowledge to perform the tasks required on any of these vessels. This training circular (TC) is for the 88K watercraft operator, skill levels 1 through 4. It will provide the subject matter that relates directly to the common technical tasks listed in STP 55-88K14-SM-TG.

One of the U.S. Army's greatest traditions is seen in the framework of the lineage and honors which link soldiers and their units. Organizations such as U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) usually do not acquire much in the way of history or heritage. But in an era of seemingly endless reorganization, TRADOC has proven to be an anomaly. It has maintained its original mission, almost completely intact, and kept the same name for 30 years. I am pleased to introduce this survey of TRADOC's first three decades. Credit for the solid character of the command and its continued relevance to The Army goes first and foremost to TRADOC's founder, General William DePuy. His vision of an organization dedicated to providing training excellence, guidance on how to fight the country's wars, and insights on the organization and materiel necessary to support the soldier and execute doctrine proved exactly right. From the outset, General DePuy put the soldier at the center of the command's work, avoiding the temptation to allow technology to dictate the present or the future of warfare. No single decision could have been more important for the success of America's Army on battlefields since TRADOC's founding in 1973. TRADOC still "lives" General DePuy's vision in its mission to train the Army's soldiers and develop its leaders, support training in units, develop doctrine, establish standards, recruit the force, and build the future Army. TRADOC is still built around training the individual soldier-training is our primary mission, our baseplate. We should remain mindful of this as we look back over the past 30 years and as we accomplish our current work of establishing the standards and requirements for training and developments for The Army, and of developing competent and adaptive leaders while ensuring currency in our doctrine. TRADOC remains an adaptable organization, open-minded to new ideas, innovation, and collaboration. We embrace jointness in our component command-like relationship with Joint Forces Command, helping define the contribution of land forces to the joint and coalition battle and serving as The Army's component for joint developments in training, doctrine, concept development, and experimentation. Looking from the vantage point of the past, we build The Army of the future. We recruit young Americans as soldiers who serve as the centerpiece of The Army's formation and readiness. We take these new recruits, try to ensure a smooth transition into our ranks, imbue Army values, the warrior ethos, and discipline into them, and provide them the necessary skills needed to immediately contribute to their first unit of assignment. Then we train them through-out their careers, as quality forces must have quality training as well as quality equipment. Just as TRADOC has "touched" every member of today's Transforming Army, TRADOC itself must transform. Transforming the Army, and achieving irreversible momentum toward that end, is imperative. By TRADOC's Transformation, we strive to place the best capabilities and equipment into the hands of the quality force we have recruited. There, the circle of TRADOC's mission becomes complete. Through Transformation, TRADOC remains committed to soldiers, civilians, and families. May future soldiers and civilians of TRADOC learn from the successes captured in these pages.

Soldier physical readiness is acquired through the challenge of a precise, progressive, and integrated physical training program. A well-conceived plan of military physical readiness training must be an integral part of every unit training program. This field manual prescribes doctrine for the execution of the Army Physical Readiness Training System. Profusely illustrated.

This training circular details techniques Soldiers and leaders must know to cope with mountainous terrain. These techniques are the foundation upon which the mountaineer must build. They must be applied to the various situations encountered to include river crossings, glaciers, snow-covered mountains, ice climbing, rock climbing, and urban vertical environments. The degree to which this training is applied must be varied to conform to known enemy doctrine, tactics, and actions. This TC also discusses basic and advanced techniques to include acclimatization, illness and injury, equipment, anchors, evacuation, movement on glaciers, and training.

Field manual (FM) 3-04.113 is intended for use by commanders, staffs, and United States (U.S.) military personnel expecting to operate and employ Army aviation assault and/or general support (GS) helicopter units. This FM is the Army's doctrine for how to fight and sustain assault helicopter battalions (AHBs) and general support aviation battalions (GSABs). The operational concepts described in this manual are based on Army doctrine as established in FM 1, FM 3-0, and FM 3-04.111. Emphasis is placed on modular force structure and the enhanced operational capability provided by Army aviation transformation. FM 3-04.113 applies to regular Army and reserve component units. It builds on collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. This publication is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies, and evolving responses to the diverse threats to our national security. This manual also assists Army proponent schools in teaching utility and cargo helicopter operations.

Field Manual (FM) 3-37 provides doctrinal guidance for commanders and staffs who are responsible for planning and executing protection in support of full spectrum operations. It describes protection as both an element of combat power and as a warfighting function. FM 3-37 corresponds with Army operations doctrine introduced in the FM 3-0 capstone manual. As the Army keystone manual for protection, FM 3-37 will help commanders understand and visualize protection concepts and ideas and enable them to describe protection tasks and systems for integration into the operations process. FM 3-37 expands on the protection and combined arms terminology outlined in FM 3-0. It explains how protection can be achieved and applied through the combination and integration of reinforcement and complementary capabilities to preserve combat power or to protect personnel, physical assets, or information. This manual recognizes that protection has no direct antecedent from the former battlefield operating systems, so protection is realized in many ways. Therefore, the text introduces the five forms and five principles of protection to provide a context for battle command and a framework for task assignment: Forms of protection: Deterrence; Prevention; Active security; Passive defense; Mitigation. Principles of protection: Full-dimension; Integrated; Layered; Redundant; Enduring.
