Field Manual FM 3-35 Army Deployment and Redeployment April 2010 (formerly FMI 3-35 and FM 4-01.011)

FM 3-35 is the Army's authoritative doctrine for planning, organizing, executing, and supporting deployment and redeployment. This manual represents the culmination of our efforts to consolidate all deployment doctrine (FM 100-17, FM 100-17-3, FM 3-35.4, FM 100-17-5, and FM 4-01.011) into a single manual to align Army deployment doctrine with joint deployment doctrine. FM 3-35 has five chapters and 12 appendices: - Chapter 1 presents an overview of force projection and the deployment process. - Chapter 2 spells out activities units engage in prior to being alerted for deployment. - Chapter 3 outlines the procedures involved in the movement of units from home station to the port of embarkation (POE) and from the POE to the port of debarkation (POD). - Chapter 4 details the process of reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI). - Chapter 5 explains redeployment. New appendices were developed in response to requests from the field. These appendices cover installation support, duties of the Mobility Officer, organization and operation of an arrival/departure airfield control group, unit movement officer (UMO), and unit movement plan, and the influence of senior commanders on deployment. Joint Publication 3-35 describes the joint process in terms of planning; pre-deployment; movement; and joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI).
