This field manual (FM) provides doctrinal guidance for the employment of dental units conducting dental service support missions. The manual is intended for use by medical and nonmedical unit commanders and their staffs. This manual has been completely revised and sequenced in order to achieve a more concise document with an improved flow of information. The focus is to provide discussion of the dental service support mission, the organization of medical/dental units, and the conduct of dental service support operations. The staffing and organizational structures and positions presented in this manual reflect Medical Force 2000, Medical Reengineering Initiative, and Army transformation organizations established in tables of organization and equipment (TOEs). These tables were current at the time this manual was published. The organization of these units is subject to change in order to comply with manpower requirements criteria outlined in Army Regulation (AR) 71-32. These organizations are also subject to change at the unit level in order to meet wartime requirements and changes are reflected in the units' modified table of organization and equipment.
