Description

---

Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. An field manual interim (FMI) is a Department of the Army (DA) publication that provides expedited delivery of urgently needed doctrine the proponent has approved for use without placing it through the standard development process. Unless an FMI is rescinded, information it disseminates is incorporated into a new or revised field manual (FM). FMIs expire after two years unless superseded or rescinded. This FMI provides doctrine for operations of the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosives (CBRNE) operational headquarters.
