This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. It also applies to items of materiel developed for use by the Army unless otherwise stated. It applies to items of materiel developed by another Service to meet Army requirements and where the Army approves the capability requirements documents; has budget responsibility; and is the user.This regulation establishes policy, identifies responsibilities, and provides climate and terrain factors to ensure mission capable and reliable Army materiel for worldwide operation. In addition to design guidance, this regulation describes a global operational environment (GOE) framework and operational environment (OE) analogs defined by climate and terrain factors to provide direct comparisons of areas of the world from the aspect of performance of Army materiel wherever based or potentially deployed. Application of this regulation ensures that the research, development, test and evaluation (RDTE) decision-making process considers the natural environmental factors that affect equipment performance when preparing capability requirements documents, operation mode summary/mission profile (OMS/MP), and design criteria for acquisition specifications. Early consideration of design criteria and the OE reduces program risk and lowers life-cycle costs by addressing environmental challenges and potential reliability shortfalls early in the RDTE process when corrective actions have minimum overall impact. Army equipment tends to remain in the active inventory for extended periods and is likely to be exposed to severe environmental conditions during its lifetime. Consequently, durability, operational costs, and performance over a full range of environmental factors must be considered during RDTE process.

Well, for one, this book contains all the revisions as of January 2020. Putting all this material in hard copy is critical. Sure, you can access the regulations on a web site - if you happen to have an internet connection. But, if you are on the road or in the courtroom, nothing beats having the book right there. Turning the pages is less likely to annoy the judge than constant clacking on a keyboard. Each of the books published by 4th Watch Publishing Co. cover a wide range of topics that are carefully designed to work together to produce a holistic approach to security primarily for government agencies and constitute the best practices used by industry. This holistic strategy to security covers the gamut of security subjects from development of secure encryption standards for communication and storage of information while at rest to how best to recover from a cyber-attack. Why buy a regulation you can download for free? We print this so you don't have to. Some documents are only distributed in electronic media. Some online docs are missing some pages or the graphics are barely legible. When a new regulation is released, a security professional prints it out, punches holes and puts it in a 3-ring binder. While this is not a big deal for a 5 or 10-page document, many government regulations are over 100 pages and printing a large document is a time-consuming effort. So, a security professional is spending hours simply printing out the tools needed to do the job. That's time that could be better spent doing work. We publish these documents so security professionals can focus on what they were hired to do.
