FM 3-11 provides a thorough doctrinal approach for the tactical and operational levels of war to provide tailorable, scalable chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) capabilities across operations.

FM 3-11 provides leaders and staffs the ability to incorporate CBRN units into their formations and to defeat the enemies’ ability to use CBRN hazards effectively in large-scale ground combat.

FM 3-11 provides commanders and staffs with overarching chemical doctrine for operations to assess, protect, and mitigate the entire range of CBRN threats and hazards—including support to countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) activities in all operational environments. It addresses principles, fundamentals, planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It provides a common framework and language for CBRN operations and constitutes the doctrinal foundation for developing other fundamentals and tactics, techniques, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrine manuals. This manual is a key integrating publication that links the doctrine for the CBRN units and staffs with Army operational doctrine and joint doctrine.

The principal audience for FM 3-11 is commanders, staffs, and leaders of theater armies, corps, divisions, and brigades as well as CBRN units that integrate capability into those formations. However, FM 3-11 is applicable to all members of the profession of arms.

FM 3-11 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
