FM 3-21.11 describes the doctrinal and tactical employment principles for the Strykerbrigade combat team (SBCT) infantry rifle company, which is an element of the SBCTbattalion. This field manual responds to a need for emerging doctrine, tactics, andtechniques for the infantry companies of the SBCT. The fundamental shift and focus forthe manual is the combination of an infantry-centric organization, three full platoons, anda mobile gun system (MGS) platoon. This is a departure from the light and mechanizedinfantry concept.This manual provides the company commander with tactics and techniques to exploitthe infantry capabilities, to reduce vulnerabilities, and to enable the unit to win on thebattlefield. This manual borrows from "nested" concepts found in FM 7-10 and FM 71-1and reemphasizes information from other manuals that are of critical importance.
