Publisher's Synopsis
This Army Techniques Publication (ATP) describes the roles, responsibilities, and command relationships for organizations planning, executing, and supporting Army movement control at the operational and tactical levels. This publication applies to the range of military operations and supports Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-0 Unified Land Operations and ADP 4-0 Sustainment. This doctrinal manual is not intended to cover garrison operation. The principle audience for ATP 4-16 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. ATP 4-16 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. Terms for which ATP 4-16 is the proponent publication (the authority) are marked with an asterisk (*) in the glossary. Definitions for which ATP 4-16 is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. This ATP applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
