Book Description

MCRP 3-30.7 (Formerly MCRP 3-11.1A) Commander's Tactical Handbook 2 May 2016 Introduction Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-11.1A, Commander's Tactical Handbook, contains reference material frequently used to organize, plan, and conduct Marine ground combat operations. Its intent is to assist small unit leaders functioning at the company level and below, but it also serves as a field reference guide for all Marine leaders. Leaders of combat support and combat service support organizations should familiarize themselves with the contents of this publication to understand the operational support requirements discussed. When applying the information contained in this publication, leaders must remember to-- l Make their orders concise, clear, and simple. l Give subordinates a thorough understanding of the intent. l Explain the mission and the immediate commander's concept of operations. l Give subordinates their mission (task[s] and unifying purpose). l Integrate subordinate elements in coordinated action. l Allow subordinates freedom of action consistent with the need for coordination. Do not issue detailed instructions covering every possible contingency. l Conduct a complete estimate of each situation and develop a plan that supports success. Do not narrow the scope to only the information presented in this publication. Remember, the information presented in this publication is only a guide. MCRP 3-11.1A is intended to be a handy compilation of important tactical information presented in loose-leaf format to better facilitate its use. It is based on information contained in numerous Marine Corps doctrinal publications. However, MCRP 3-11.1A does not supersede or replace a doctrinal publication. For detailed explanations on the tactics, techniques, and procedures found in this publication, see Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-11.1, Marine Rifle Company (under development), or the appropriate warfighting publication.
