Which regulation covers Brigade Combat Team operations?

Brigade Combat Team (BCT) operations are specifically outlined in ATP 3-96, which is the Army Techniques Publication that deals with the organization, command, and control of BCTs during operations. This publication provides detailed guidance for planners and leaders on the principles and methodologies for conducting operations at the brigade level, making it vital for understanding the BCT's role in large-scale combat operations.

In contrast to ATP 3-96, ATP 3-90 focuses on overall tactics and maneuver warfare, while FM 3-25 deals with map reading and land navigation, which are significant but not directly related to BCT operations. FM 6-0, although it provides valuable information on command and control procedures, does not specifically cover the unique operational aspects of Brigade Combat Teams that ATP 3-96 addresses. Therefore, ATP 3-96 is the authoritative regulation for Brigade Combat Team operations.
