Rear Area Operations — MCWP 3-41.1

MCWP 3-41.1 identifies the functions that occur within the rear area, which are integrated within the warfighting functions, to support the conduct of the single battle. It also discusses the command and control of rear area operations from the joint level to individual bases, planning considerations, and the execution of the rear area operations functions. This publication does not provide detailed tactics, techniques, or procedures for rear area security (see FMFM 2-6, MAGTF Rear Area Security, which will become MCRP 3-41.1A when revised).
