The purpose of this field manual (FM) is to provide doctrine and training procedures for unit field sanitation teams (FST). In addition, a training program in the application of personal protective measures (PPM) is included for personnel appointed as members of the FST for each company, troop, or battery. This publication contains a proposed 20-hour master training schedule which may be adjusted as necessary; a text that may serve as reference material for the FST instructor; and supporting illustrations for the instructors assigned the training task. This publication provides guidance to the commanders, unit leaders, and soldiers for implementing unit field sanitation and preventive medicine (PVNTMED) measures in the field. This publication is written to further aid the commander and his unit leaders in the continuing effort of reducing the disease and nonbattle injury (DNBI) rates during deployments. This publication provides information on PPM for the unit FST on applying unit-level PPM.

Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-25.12 Unit Field Sanitation Teams April 2014 provides guidance for establishing, training, and employing unit field sanitation teams. Implementation of the techniques presented in this publication will enable commanders to maintain a fit and healthy force capable of accomplishing the mission in any environment. The principal audience for ATP 4-25.12 is all commanders, leaders, unit field sanitation teams, individual Soldiers, Department of the Army civilians, and military contractors. Army Techniques Publication 4-25.12 consists of ten chapters- - Chapter 1 includes a brief history of the unit field sanitation team, highlights its success, contributions, and importance as a force health protection asset. - Chapter 2 identifies health threats to Soldiers while in the field or deployed and articulates individual and leader responsibilities for implementation and enforcement of preventive medicine measures. - Chapter 3 identifies the critical importance of potable water to Soldiers, identifies sources of water in the field, and outlines methods to disinfect water for safe consumption. - Chapter 4 discusses the techniques and procedures for properly preparing, safely transporting, and serving meals in the field. - Chapter 5 addresses the importance of properly disposing of human waste and wastewater generated by shower and food preparation facilities. - Chapter 6 identifies pests commonly encountered by Soldiers in the field and then identifies techniques and procedures for pest avoidance and management. - Chapter 7 identifies types of heat injury, their causes, and prevention techniques to protect Soldiers in the field. - Chapter 8 identifies types of cold injury, their causes, and prevention techniques to protect Soldiers in the field. - Chapter 9 identifies toxic industrial material hazards commonly associated with military operations. - Chapter 10 identifies noise hazards associated with military operations and provides proven protection measures to protect Soldiers' hearing.

Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. This manual, "Theater Army Operations" (FM3-93), discusses the organization and operations of the theater army headquarters, including its role as the Army Service component command (ASCC) to the geographic combatant commander (GCC) and the relationships between the theater army headquarters and the theater enabling commands. The manual also discusses theater army responsibilities for setting the theater, Title 10 functions and responsibilities, generally referred to as the combatant commander's daily operations requirements, as well as the operational employment of the theater army's contingency command post (CCP) to directly mission command limited types of operations.

"Unit Field Sanitation Team," is to provide doctrine and training procedures for unit field sanitation teams (FST). In addition, a training program in the application of personal protective measures (PPM) is included for personnel appointed as members of the FST for each company, troop, or battery. Army Techniques Publication 4-25.12 remains generally consistent with Field Manual 4-25.12 on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts as necessary. These topics include discussion of operational and mission variables which commanders must consider when determining the need for more trained field sanitation teams to support the Soldiers when deploying. The material presented in this publication reflects enduring practices of basic field hygiene and sanitation and preventive medicine measures. Implementation of these techniques and procedures enable commanders to preserve the health of their Soldiers in order for them to accomplish their mission.

The International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) is a four-level hierarchically structured classification that covers all jobs in the world. Developed with the benefit of accumulated national and international experience as well as the help of experts from many countries and agencies, ISCO-08 is fully supported by the international community as an accepted standard for international labour statistics. ISCO-08 classifies jobs into 436 unit groups. These unit groups are aggregated into 130 minor groups, 43 sub-major groups and 10 major groups, based on their similarity in terms of the skill level and skill specialisation required for the jobs. This allows the production of relatively detailed internationally comparable data as well as summary information for only 10 groups at the highest level of aggregation. Each group in the classification is designated by a title and code number and is associated with a definition that specifies the scope of the group. The classification is divided into two volumes: Volume I presents the structure and definitions of all groups in ISCO-08 and their correspondence with ISCO-88, which it supersedes, while Volume II provides an updated and expanded index of occupational titles and associated ISCO-08 and ISCO-88 codes.
