Carpentry and Combat Engineer

A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. Carpentry: Training guide and reference text for personnel responsible for planning and executing construction operations. It provides techniques and procedures for frame construction, preparation and use of bills of materials, building layout, forming for concrete slabs and foundations, framing and finish carpentry, roof framing and coverings, bridge and wharf construction, and the materials used for these operations. Combat Engineer: Battlefield Operating Systems (BOS) as a framework: * Intelligence. * Maneuver. * Mobility and survivability. * Fire support (FS). * Air defense (AD). * Combat service support (CSS). * Command and control (C2). Each BOS is not discussed in detail. Instead, they are used to outline considerations for how the engineer platoon supports the total combined-arms (CA) effort. The bulk of the platoon's missions concentrates on mobility, counter mobility, and survivability operations in support of the mobility and survivability BOS. However, the platoon leader and sergeant must have an understanding of the role their platoon plays in supporting all the BOS. More importantly, the platoon leader and sergeant must understand the impact of all the BOS on platoon planning, preparation, and execution.
