Good Morning all,

As I have been working in the S3 shop at my battalion it has brought me back to some resources that I haven’t thought of in a while. Some of these were only briefed in a 15 minute block of instruction at BOLC.

What are the key resources that y’all use to get your official information (doctrine)?

MET /Task/DTMS/OBJ-T information: https://atn.army.mil/
MTOE/TMs – FMS Web – https://fmsweb.fms.army.mil
Publications – APD – http://www.apd.army.mil/default.aspx

What distros do  you find helpful?

Maybe we can grow a list that can/will turn in to a “tool” to serve as an easy reference for leaders.

I know some of these resources are very introductory or basic. I am not trying to insult anyone’s intelligence by listing them but we are all at different points in our career progressions.

There are some tools here that I have seen referenced but figured a consolidated list and discussion can help.
