Overview

Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-91 Division Operations October 2014 contains eight chapters: Chapter 1 briefly reviews the division's four roles from FM 3-94. It reviews the division organization from that same FM. It reviews the organization and capabilities of those brigades and other support routinely available to the division and provides references to where detailed discussions of those organizations can be found. It discusses considerations for force tailoring the division and task organizing attached brigades. It refreshes the reader of the operational frameworks available to the division. Chapter 2 briefly reviews the Army's approach to mission command, discusses the division mission command system and then discusses the employment of the division's command posts. It also does not discuss the internal cells and elements in the division headquarters and the headquarters and headquarters battalion which are addressed in FM 3-94. It does not discuss the generic commander and staff tasks and the five additional tasks residing in the mission command warfighting function. This is because they are addressed in ADRP 6-0, FM 6-0 and other publications. It also does not discuss the division headquarters and headquarters battalion which is addressed in FM 3-94. Chapter 3 introduces a fictional scenario used in the following four chapters as a discussion vehicle for illustrating one of the many ways that a division might conduct decisive action. It is not intended to be prescriptive of how the division should conduct any particular operations. The scenario focuses on potential challenges confronting a division commander in accomplishing a mission. Chapter 4 discusses a division being tailored by higher headquarters for the scenario introduced in the previous chapter. It highlights many of the deployment challenges facing a division stationed in the continental United States (CONUS) for a short-notice contingency operation. Chapter 5 discusses different techniques that a defending Army division focused on the defeat of an attacking enemy can use. It addresses the conduct of different defense tasks in the previously introduced scenario. Chapter 6 discusses different techniques that an attacking Army division focused on the defeat of a defending enemy can use.

Chapter 7 discusses different techniques that an Army division focused on the conduct of stability tasks can use to accomplish its mission. It addresses all of the primary stability tasks and the techniques that a division might use to accomplish those subordinate stability tasks that a division might need to execute in the previously introduced scenario.
