What's inside:

Field Manual (FM) 5-430 is intended for use as a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel responsible for planning, designing, and constructing roads, airfields, and heliports in the theater of operations (TO).

FM 5-430 is divided into two separate volumes to make it more user-friendly. FM 5- 430-00-1/AFPAM 32-8013, Vol 1, Road Design, encompasses Chapters 1 through 9 and Appendices A through H. FM 5-430-00- 2/AFJPAM 32-8013, Vol II, Airfield and Heliport Design, encompasses Chapters 10 through 14 and Appendices I through P.

FM 5-430-00-1/AFPAM 32-8013, Vol 1 is a stand-alone volume for the design of TO roads. This volume also serves as a detailed description of information common to both roads and airfields, such as site selection, survey and earthwork, clearing and grubbing, base and subbase courses, and drainage.

FM 5-430-00-2/AFJPAM 32-8013, Vol II serves as the basis for airfield and heliport design. It discusses the complete process of airfield and heliport construction from the preliminary investigations, through design criteria, to the final project layout and construction techniques. It is not a standalone volume. FM 5-430-00-1/AFPAM 32- 8013, Vol 1 contains much of the information required to design the substructure of an airfield or a heliport.

The material in this manual applies to all levels of engineer involvement in the TO. The manual is intended to be used by United States (US) Army Corps of Engineers personnel.
