What's inside:

This manual is a guide for commanders, staff officers, and other persons concerned with planning, organizing, and operating an Army water supply system in a theater of operations (TO). Concepts and doctrine are presented to enable the planner to design a water purification, storage, and distribution system that will ensure units can provide necessary water support to US forces.

The doctrine in this manual is oriented toward operations in a tactical theater and in field training exercises. Water supply at fixed and semi-fixed installations and in peacetime garrison operations is a Corps of Engineers responsibility and is discueed in depth in the TM 5-813 "Water Supply" series of manuals and in FM 5-104.

Planning factors for water supply in arctic, arid, temperate, and tropical climates are presented for use by logisitcs planners. Responsibilities for the command, control, and operation of water units in the theater are dicussed in detail. Potable water quality standards and surveillance practices are presented. Procedures for management and accountability of water supplies are discussed. The systems described are applicable in the LIC, conventional warfare, and operations in an NBC environment on the integrated Air-Land battlefield.
