Combined-Arms Breaching Operations — FM 3-34.2 (formerly FM 90-13-1)

FM 3-34.2 provides combined-arms commanders, from company to brigade, and their staffs with the doctrine, tactics, and techniques needed to successfully overcome obstacles. It provides the commander with breaching fundamentals and information for planning, preparing, and executing breaching operations. This manual gives the coordinating and special staff officer a basis for synchronizing all combat multipliers during a breaching operation. This is not a stand-alone manual. The user must have a fundamental understanding of the concepts outlined in FMs 5-71-2, 5-71-3, 5-71-100, 17-98, 20-32, 34-130, 71-1, 71-2, 71-3, 100-5, 100-7, 101-5, and 101-5-1. This manual also implements Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 2036.
