What document covers Patriot Battalion Techniques?

• A. ATP 3-01.85 Army Techniques Publication
• B. FM 3-99
• C. ATP 3-01.80 Army Techniques Publication
• D. JP 5-0 Contingency Planning

Answer: (A)

Patriot Battalion Techniques are captured in Army Techniques Publication 3-01.85. Army Techniques Publications lay out the detailed tactics, techniques, and procedures that a unit uses to employ a capability, including organization, command and control, engagement sequencing, and standard operating procedures. The Patriot battalion has its own dedicated publication to codify how it operates in the field, so this ATP is the authoritative source for its techniques.

The other options don’t fit because they cover different topics or levels of doctrine. A field manual like FM 3-99 tends to address broad operations rather than the specific techniques of a single battalion. Another Army Techniques Publication with a different number would pertain to a different system or capability, not Patriot Battalion Techniques. Joint planning publication JP 5-0 is about joint, cross-service contingency planning rather than service-specific battlefield techniques.
