ATP 3-37.10/MCRP 3-40D.13 is a compilation of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) found in doctrine, lessons learned, and other reference material that provides an integrated, systematic approach to base camps. It codifies the recent efforts of the Base Camp Integrated Capabilities Development Team as part of the Army capabilities-based assessment process and serves commanders and their staffs as a comprehensive how-to guide for performing all activities of the base camp life cycle during deployments.

Operating from base camps is a fundamental tactic of Armed Forces. Recent experiences in contingency operations overseas have revealed some of the challenges that base camps present to commanders. These experiences have also exposed the consequences when the activities of the base camp life cycle are inadequately considered or addressed during the course of operations.

The principal audience for ATP 3-37.10/MCRP 3-40D.13 is all members of the profession of arms. Trainers and educators throughout the Army and Marine Corps will also use this manual.

ATP 3-37.10/MCRP 3-40D.13 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, Marine Corps, United States Army Reserve, and Marine Corps Reserve unless otherwise stated.
