This manual serves as a planning and operations guide for all personnel involved in mortuary affairs (MA) within a theater of operations (TO). These personnel must ensure the MA mission is completed with available personnel and equipment. They must also know the types of problems they may face in performing the MA mission. This manual will assist in determining operational capabilities and limitations and help guide the allocation of resources to successfully complete the mission. This manual outlines existing doctrine and relates policy, procedures, and standards. This publication applies to the Active Army (AA), Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. It is designed for use as a guide to operations and procedures by commanders, supervisors, and planners. The use of Automated Information Systems (AIS) that are used to execute business functions is common throughout the sustainment mission area. The specific automation requirements and functional software applications that will support MA operations for the total Army are under development. Automated systems include the Global Combat Support System (GCSS), Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2), Movement Tracking System (MTS), Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3), the Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS), and other related AISs at all force levels. These automated systems will provide the automated means to fulfill the MA requirements given in this manual. This manual is a doctrinal guide to MA operations within an area of operations (AO) within a Joint TO. As such, it gives the mission and organization of the MA force structure. The manual also explains the role of the various levels of command in the TO. Command relationships between the different brigade combat teams (BCTs), the division, the corps, and the theater are current as of the publication date of this manual. This manual should be used in conjunction with JP 4-06 and AR 638-2. The Armed Forces are charged with defending the nation and its people. This extends to safeguarding the natural environment. Former Chief of Staff General Dennis Reimer has stated "Environment responsibility involves all of us." The environmental ethic must be part of how Soldiers live and train. By working together, the Armed Forces can forge a premiere environmental stewardship program. Protection of the environment, while providing tough, realistic training, is the key to ensuring the Army is trained and ready to fight present and future enemies. All leaders are expected to serve as the Army's environmental stewards and have a personal and professional responsibility to understand and support the Army's environmental program. Violations of environmental laws and regulations can lead to civil and criminal liability, as well as liability under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Leaders should ensure that unit personnel are properly trained and equipped to achieve environmental legal compliance. Special consideration should be given to storing, handling, and transporting hazardous materials and wastes that are inherent to the MA mission. Pollution- prevention techniques should be followed wherever possible. Such methods are preferred because they cost less than environmental cleanup and prevent adverse public opinion. Related publications are listed in the references section of this publication. The proponent for this publication is the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Users should not view this manual as a sole source of information. Other supporting publications are referenced throughout this manual.

This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-46 (FM 4-20.64) Contingency Fatality Operations December 2014, revises field manual (FM) 4-20.64, Mortuary Affairs Operations. It provides a single, ready reference for units and Soldiers. The focus of the ATP is on techniques used by Soldiers, small unit leaders, civilians, contractors or host nation personnel physically responsible for handling, transporting, receiving, or storing human remains or personal effects (PE). This publication will address the new force design of the mortuary affairs units, and emphasize safety and the mortuary affairs reporting and tracking system (MARTS). The principal audience for ATP 4-46 is commanders, staffs, Soldiers at all levels, leaders, instructors, at military institutions, students, and doctrine and training developers. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. The title of ATP 4-46 has been changed to Contingency Fatality Operations to appropriately reflect the actual intended focus and content of the manual. ATP 4-46, Contingency Fatality Operations, serves as a planning and operations guide for all personnel involved in mortuary affairs (MA) within a theater of operations (TO). MA provides for the search, recovery, identification, preparation, and disposition of human remains of persons for whom the Services are responsible by status and Executive Order. The Department of Defense (DOD) Executive Steering Committee (ESC) determined that Mortuary Affairs required delineation to identify the Contingency Fatality Operations. Contingency Fatality Operations provides for the search and recovery, contamination mitigation, tentative identification, preparation and temporary disposition of human remains of persons covered under JP 4-06 during contingency operations. (This includes PE). The mortuary operations process is the point from which human remains are released by the Medical Examiner to the point where remains are evacuated to a receiving funeral home designated by the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD). ATP 4-46 contains four chapters and five appendixes: Chapter 1 discusses the role of the MA personnel, the geographic combatant commanders (GCC), and how these commanders with geographic responsibilities, designate theaters of operation, area of operations (AO), and line of communications (LOC) throughout a TO. This chapter also addresses why contingency fatality operations must be planned in detail from the unit through the joint level. Chapter 2 describes the new quartermaster mortuary affairs company's mission and all of its functions. The responsibilities are addressed to include the organization structure. This will guide the MA personnel on their role to search for, recover, tentatively identify, and coordinate evacuating remains through the appropriate evacuation systems. Chapter 3 discusses the concepts of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. This allows units to have the basic knowledge to plan, prepare and execute the basis of contingency fatality operations. Chapter 4 refers to commanders responsibilities; they include the search for, recovery, and evacuation of remains and associated PE to the nearest MA facility. Commanders of all Army units have the responsibility to care for deceased personnel within their AO. Commanders may be tasked to conduct search and recovery operations for remains of individuals of other nations or services. Appendix A shows an example of mortuary affairs unit standing operating procedure (SOP) Appendix B has an example of an operation order for mortuary affairs Appendix C the commonly used forms and instructions on their completion Appendix D depicts the information of the old quartermaster collection company (MA) Appendix E depicts the information of the old quartermaster mortuary affairs company

Army field manual (FM) 4-40, Quartermaster Operations, is the revision of the obsolete FM 10-1, Quartermaster Principles. FM 4-40 provides logisticians and field commanders an understanding of Quartermaster principles, organizations, and procedures within the context of decisive action. The manual provides basic doctrinal discussion on the organization and operations of Quartermaster units within the Army. This manual updates FM 10-1, incorporating modular unit capabilities, designs and concepts, plus updated terminology IAW ADP 3-0 and ADRP 3-0 and other commensurate doctrine into FM 4-40. In rewriting the manual, chapter content on individual commodity areas was consolidated to produce three chapters from 19 chapters: one covering fundamentals, one covering all supply functions, and one covering field services. The net effect was to reduce the manual from 130 pages to 60 pages. Other key changes in this manual include the addition of a foreword to highlight the importance of the Global Combat Support System - Army, the identification of strategic partners that support Quartermaster functions, expanded discussion of supply chain management, and operational energy. The FM also addresses modernization in both the aerial delivery and mortuary affairs force designs. The manual also further expands on the two Quartermaster core competencies; supply and field services. FM 4-40 contains three chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of Quartermaster Operations. This chapter describes the Quartermaster functions, enabling organizations and mission command systems. The fundamentals of logistics command systems and how they enable commanders to gain a common operational picture is also noted. Chapter 1 defines support relationships, management functions, and requirements for total asset visibility. Chapter 2 discusses supply operations, reviews classes of supply, discusses multi-modal operations, and establishes an overview for unit supply operations. Specifically, mentioned are distribution hubs, supply support activities, accountability and responsibility, property records, inventories, and adjustments reports. Chapter 3 discusses Quartermaster Field Service Operations and how they are employed and generate combat power for the combatant commander. The chapter provides a brief overview of aerial delivery, clothing and textile repair, food services, shower and laundry, mortuary affairs, water purification, and force provider. FM 4-40 was developed in close coordination with the United States Army Combined Arms Support Command and Quartermaster School. Quartermaster Warrant Officer Advanced Course Students provided input based on their personal experiences as well as comments and input taken throughout the Army sustainment community. This publication, Field Manual FM 4-40 (FM 10-1) Quartermaster Operations, provides fundamental guidance for the employment of United States (U.S.) Army quartermaster organizations deployed in support of joint and multinational operations across the spectrum of conflict. The principal audience for field manual (FM) 4-40 is personnel of all grades and levels performing in quartermaster positions. FM 4-40 establishes Army doctrine for quartermaster operations by providing overarching doctrinal direction for quartermaster operations conducted in support of decisive action detailed in other Army manuals. FM 4-40 also provides a foundation for the development of appropriate tactics, techniques, and procedures. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.

This field manual (FM) addresses military police (MP) maneuver and mobility support (MMS), area security (AS), internment and resettlement (I/R), law and order (L&O), and police intelligence operations (PIO) across the full spectrum of Army operations. Although this manual includes a discussion of corps and division MP elements, it primarily focuses on the principles of platoon operations and the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) the platoon uses to accomplish its mission. This FM provides the capabilities and organization of the MP, demonstrates the flexibility and diversity of MP in adapting to any mission throughout the full spectrum of Army operations, and characterizes the MP as a combat-force multiplier. Additionally, this manual identifies the fact that the Army will not conduct operations alone and defines the role of the MP in support of joint, multinational, and interagency operations. The MP TTP are organized by the MP functions of MMS, AS, I/R, LO, and PIO with supporting tasks, both individual and collective, to help illustrate the functions.
