This United States Army publication, Field Manual FM 3-81 Maneuver Enhancement Brigade November 2021, provides maneuver enhancement brigade (MEB) doctrine. The manual is linked to joint and Army doctrine to ensure that it is useful to joint and Army commanders and staffs.
The principal audience for FM 3-81 is commanders and staff elements at all echelons and MEB units that are primarily tasked with conducting support area operations. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. The other intended audience for this manual is leaders and staff sections within units that will employ a MEB or may operate under the command and control of the MEB. This manual should also be used to guide joint, interagency, and multinational higher headquarters commanders and staffs on MEB employment.
FM 3-81 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
