Abstract:

This manual discusses the tactics, techniques, and procedures for the mechanized infantry platoon and squad equipped with the M2 Bradley fighting vehicle BFV. Mechanized infantry leaders must know the capabilities of the soldiers and the BFV to develop overwhelming combat power at the decisive place and time. Maneuver, firepower, protection, and leadership combine to form the dynamics of combat power. The BFV platoon and squad must fight dismounted and mounted under all types of battlefield conditions. This manual provides the general guidance, but judgment must be used in application after carefully considering each situation.
