Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, the Army Theater Missile Defense Operations Field Manual (FM 100-12) covers the defense against theater missiles.

In the preface, it states:

"Field Manual (FM) 100-12, Army Theater Missile Defense Operations, establishes the Army's comprehensive doctrine to guide actions throughout the range of theater missile defense (TMD) operations. It explains the Army's contribution to joint TMD and addresses the elements necessary to insure maximum effectiveness and integration of TMD into the Joint Force Commander's (JFC's) overall concept of the operation and campaign objectives. This manual provides the doctrinal base for integrating the US Army Air and Missile Defense Command into Army-level command and control architecture and operations. It provides information on requirements necessary for successful coordination of TMD in support of Army, joint, and multinational operations. This manual implements relevant joint doctrine, incorporates lessons learned from recent operations, conforms to the Army's keystone doctrine, and provides information on the theater missile threat to US forces and US interests."

Some highlights of the contents:

"Theater missiles (TMs) are ballistic missiles (BMs), cruise missiles (CMs), and air-to-surface missiles (ASMs) whose targets are within a given theater of operation. Advanced missile technologies coupled with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or weapons of mass effect (WME) capabilities have become proliferated among potential adversaries and provide them with potentially decisive attack capabilities. The TM threat is as much a political weapon as a military weapon. The preferred method to counter enemy TMs is to destroy or disrupt operations prior to launch. Failing that, the capability to intercept and destroy missiles in flight is the next most desired option. The capabilities of joint force components, supporting Commanders in Chief (CINCs) and multinational forces must be integrated to achieve the common objective of neutralizing or destroying the enemy's TM capabilities. This effort must be integrated into and support the Joint Force Commander's (JFC's) overall concept of operations and campaign objectives."

"TMD encompasses all activities focused on the identification, integration, and employment of forces supported by theater and national capabilities to detect, identify, locate, track, discriminate, minimize the effects of, and destroy enemy TMs. This includes the destruction of TMs on the ground and in flight; their air, ground, or sea-based launch platforms during pre- and post-launch operations; and their supporting infrastructure. TMD is inherently a joint mission. "

Specific information on national threats and missile types is included in this manual.

As a bonus, this reproduction includes FM-1, The Army Field Manual, a capstone manual containing the vision for the Army - sold separately for $5.99. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing Landpower. The most important of these are the Army's operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army's place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier.
