Tactical Ops Ready

Tactical Ops Ready is a study app for tactical operations — built the way a reference
should be built: every lesson and every exam question carries the publication it came from.

Twenty subjects run from the individual team member through squad and platoon movement,
room clearing, force protection and reconnaissance, into mission planning, convoy and
counter-IED awareness, fieldcraft, civilian security, protective details and security
driving.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 20 subjects, at least 40 exam questions in each
• 925 cited questions, each with a rationale and a source line
• 131 lessons, every one with its own teaching diagram
• Field Exam — timed, full-length, across every subject
• Practice — exam by subject, with the rationale revealed after each answer
• Arena — timed skill games on three lives: the 5 Cs, call for fire, vehicle attack
response, evader immediate actions
• Drill Cards — flip cards for the key points of every lesson
• Review Misses — re-tackle exactly what you got wrong
• Readiness — your best score per subject, and what still needs work
• Sources — the full 113-entry bibliography, in the app

EVERY ANSWER CITED
Content is drawn from publicly available doctrine and published guidance, including
ATP 3-21.8 (Infantry Platoon and Squad), FM 3-90 (Tactics), TC 3-21.76 (Ranger Handbook),
MCWP 3-01 (Offensive and Defensive Tactics), JP 3-10 (Joint Security Operations),
ADP 3-37 (Protection), the DoD Law of War Manual, ATP 4-01.45 (Convoy Operations),
TC 3-25.26 (Map Reading and Land Navigation), FM 3-98 (Reconnaissance and Security),
CISA and FBI public guidance, U.S. Secret Service published research, and Texas
occupations law for private security — 113 sources in all. Marine Corps doctrine is shown
alongside Army doctrine where the two differ. Each item names its source so you can go
read it yourself.

IMPORTANT
Tactical Ops Ready is an educational study aid. It is not operational guidance, not a
rules-of-engagement authority, and not a substitute for accredited instruction, qualified
supervision, or your unit or agency policy. Nothing in it authorizes any action.
Counter-IED material covers recognition, avoidance and reporting only. Evasive-driving
material describes protective-driver training taught on a closed course under qualified
instructors. Doctrine is revised over time — always verify against the current published
source and the policies that govern you.

sponsored by, or produced in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, the
Department of the Army, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Secret
