Book FM 90-10-1. Urban Combat

“FM 90-10-1. Urban Combat” is a unique professional translated edition, adapted from the official U.S. Army manual on conducting combat in urban environments, edition dated October 3, 1995. The book contains a comprehensive set of modern knowledge and recommendations, highly relevant for preparing decisive and effective actions in towns and urbanized areas — conditions where combat becomes particularly complex and hazardous for personnel.

This manual is designed to fully equip commanders and soldiers with methodologies, algorithms, and tactical techniques for effective urban combat. Special attention is paid not only to command decisions but also to the individual training of each soldier — from private to squad, company, and battalion levels. For infantry commanders, this book serves as a classic practical reference for organizing defense and offense amid dense infrastructure, multi-level buildings, narrow streets, and special tactical challenges faced in modern conflicts worldwide.

The manual is relevant in conditions of rapid urban growth, when urban combat becomes a key scenario for mechanized and infantry units. It concentrates all the necessary information — from the specifics of combat conduct to enemy isolation tactics in neighborhoods, fortification organization, movement between buildings, camouflage, and unit coordination.

Particularly valuable is the adaptation of U.S. combat experience to Ukrainian realities, making “Urban Combat” an ideal knowledge source for officers, sergeants, military academy cadets, and anyone seeking to deepen their tactical skills for urban warfare.
