Field Manual (FM) 5-430 is intended for use as a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel responsible for planning, designing, and constructing roads, airfields, and heliports in the theater of operations (TO). FM 5-430 is divided into two separate volumes to make it more user-friendly. FM 5-430-00-1/AFJPAM 32-8013, vol. 1, Road Design, encompasses Chapters 1 through 9 and Appendices A through H. FM 5-430-00-1/AFJPAM 32-8013, Vol. 1 is a stand-alone volume for the design of TO roads. This volume also serves as a detailed description of information common to both roads and airfields, such as site selection, survey and earthwork, clearing and grubbing, base and subbase courses, and drainage.

The United States Army Engineer School developed this publication with the joint participation of the approving Service commands. The test procedures and terminology used in this manual conform to the latest methods and specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Concrete Institute, and the Portland Cement Association. The ASTM source publications are not required for testing specified in this document as the procedure is fully explained for military personnel use. This manual, "Theater of Operations: Roads, Airfields, and Heliports - Airfield and Heliport Design," (TM 3-34.48-2 / formerly FM 5-430-00-2) is adopted for use by United States Navy and United States Air Force personnel. Certain tests and procedures prescribed differ in principle or method and are more detailed than counterpart tests that are currently required by the United States Navy for new construction at Navy installations (including those in forward areas). The tests in this manual also apply to arctic construction. However, cold-weather effects present different problems and additional tests will be required for correct evaluation of the materials.

Over 5,300 total pages .... MARINE RECON Reconnaissance units are the commander’s eyes and ears on the battlefield. They are task organized as a highly trained six man team capable of conducting specific missions behind enemy lines. Employed as part of the Marine Air- Ground Task Force, reconnaissance teams provide timely information to the supported commander to shape and influence the battlefield. The varying types of missions a Reconnaissance team conduct depends on how deep in the battle space they are operating. Division Reconnaissance units support the close and distant battlespace, while Force Reconnaissance units conduct deep reconnaissance in support of a landing force. Common missions include, but are not limited to: Plan, coordinate, and conduct amphibious-ground reconnaissance and surveillance to observe, identify, and report enemy activity, and collect other information of military significance. Conduct specialized surveying to include: underwater reconnaissance and/or demolitions, beach permeability and topography, routes, bridges, structures, urban/rural areas, helicopter landing zones (LZ), parachute drop zones (DZ), aircraft forward operating sites, and mechanized reconnaissance missions. When properly task organized with other forces, equipment or personnel, assist in specialized engineer, radio, and other special reconnaissance missions. Infiltrate mission areas by necessary means to include: surface, subsurface and airborne operations. Conduct Initial Terminal Guidance (ITG) for helicopters, landing craft, parachutists, air-delivery, and re-supply. Designate and engage selected targets with organic weapons and force fires to support battlespace shaping. This includes designation and terminal guidance of precision-guided munitions. Conduct post-strike reconnaissance to determine and report battle damage assessment on a specified target or area. Conduct limited scale raids and ambushes.

This report describes laboratory and field tests conducted using a new fiber stabilization technique for sands. Laboratory unconfined compression tests using 2-in. long monofilament polypropylene fibers to stabilize a poorly graded (SP) sand showed an optimum fiber content of 1 percent (by weight). Field test sections were constructed and traffic tested using simulated C-130 aircraft traffic (30,000-lb tire load at 100-psi tire pressure) and military truck traffic (5-ton military cargo truck loaded to a gross weight of 41,600 lb). Test results showed that sand fiber stabilization over a sand subgrade supported over 1,000 passes of a C-130 tire load with less than 2 in. of rutting. The top 4 in. of the sand fiber layer was lightly stabilized with Road Oyl to provide a wearing surface. Based on limited truck traffic tests, an 8-in.-thick sand-fiber layer, surfaced with a spray application of Road Oyl, would support substantial amounts of military truck traffic.
