Overview

This book, Technical Manual TM 3-34.56 Waste Management for Deployed Forces March 2019, provides best practices and techniques for conducting waste management activities while deployed and focuses on brigade level and below. It provides a better understanding of the waste streams that are generated and provides guidance on minimizing the harmful effects of waste on human health, the environment, and the mission. It describes the planning necessary to estimate generated waste, based on unit functions and activities, and provides guidance on generating and implementing waste management solutions to fulfill immediate and long-term waste requirements. While this publication is primarily aimed at subject matter experts in the occupational fields of engineering, logistics, safety, transportation, environmental management, and preventive medicine (PVNTMED), it contains beneficial information for commanders and staff officers, especially predeployment planning considerations and the integration of waste management into unit activities. This publication includes a compilation of techniques and procedures found in doctrine, lessons learned, and other reference material; it serves as a how to guide for managing waste that is generated at the tactical level. Because each situation will be uniquely different, based on operational and mission variables, this guide relies on the reader's ability to apply experience, common sense, and sound judgment while generating options and implementing solutions that will reduce the harmful effects of waste on human health and the environment to the fullest extent practicable. This guide is best used in combination with the subject matter expertise that resides within, or is available through, higher headquarters, supporting units, or reachback. The principal audience for TM 3-34.56 is Army and Marine Corps commanders, planners, engineers, environmental officers, and logisticians who conduct operations across the range of military operations. Trainers and educators throughout the Army and Marine Corps will also use this manual.
