MCWP 3-35.3 - Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT)

This manual provides guidance for the organization, planning, and conduct of the full range of

military operations on urbanized terrain. This publication was prepared primarily for commanders,

staffs, and subordinate leaders down to the squad and fire team level. It is written from a Marine

air-ground task force perspective, with emphasis on the ground combat element as the most likely

supported element in that environment. It provides the level of detailed information that supports

the complexities of planning, preparing for, and executing small-unit combat operations on

urbanized terrain. It also provides historical and environmental information that supports planning

and training for combat in built-up areas
