Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-16.7, Marine Artillery Survey Operations, sets forth the doctrinal foundation and technical information that Marines need to provide accurate and timely survey support.

This is a detailed survey, replete with photographs and diagrams, of the field artillery used by both sides in the Civil War. In paperback for the first time, the book provides technical descriptions of the artillery (bore, weight, range, etc.), ordnance purchases, and inspection reports. Appendixes provide information on surviving artillery pieces and their current locations in museums and national parks.
