"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.
