The Battle Staff SMARTbook, 3rd Rev. Ed.
Book Overview
Guide to Designing, Planning & Conducting Military Operations
This is the third revised edition of The Battle Staff SMARTbook, incorporating the 2010 edition of FM 5-0, The Operations Process. In addition to the introduction of design, the 2010 revision of FM 5-0 builds on and expands the body of doctrine associated with full spectrum operations described in the 2008 edition of FM 3-0, Operations. Moving beyond planning and orders production, FM 5-0 holistically addresses planning, preparation, execution, and assessment in the continuous cycle of the operations process.

The Small Unit Tactics SMARTbook
Leader's Reference Guide to Conducting Tactical Operations
Tactics is the employment and ordered arrangement of forces in relation to each other. Through tactics, commanders use combat power to accomplish missions. The tactical-level commander uses combat power in battles, engagements, and small-unit actions. The Small Unit Tactics SMARTbook translates and bridges operational-level doctrine into tactical application -- in the form of tactics, techniques and procedures -- and provides the “how to” at the small-unit level, providing a ready reference at the battalion, company, platoon, squad and fire team level.
