This manual is intended for use as a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel
responsible for planning and executing theater of operations (TO) construction. It provides techniques and
procedures for frame construction, preparation and use of bills of materials (BOMs), building layout,
forming for concrete slabs and foundations, framing and finish carpentry, roof framing and coverings,
bridge and wharf construction, and the materials used for these operations.

This course is designed to give you practical knowledge of basic carpentry.
You will learn to read, understand, and interpret construction prints (also called working drawings);
to identify, use, and requisition building materials; and to care for and use hand tools and power machinery.
Lesson 1: Construction Prints and Building Materials
q Part A: Construction Prints for Buildings
q Part B: Bill of Materials (BOMs)
q Part A: Care and Use of Hand Tools
q Part B: Care and Use of Power Machinery
The Carpentry II subcourse will provide you with enough knowledge to construct floor
systems, stairs, wall systems (including the installation of windows and door), and roof systems of wooden structures.
Lesson 2: Wall-System and Stairway Construction
q Part C: Roof-Covering Material
This subcourse concludes the instruction on carpentry. It discusses the requirements for competent cabinet work, explaining the kinds and selections of woods, the classification and uses of woodworking joints, and the standards for their employment. The selection of materials for constructing wooden articles, the assembling of parts into units, and the steps taken in a final inspection of completed work are presented in sequence.
3. HEAVY TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
The Army's scientific advancement places an ever-increasing demand on the technical capabilities of its personnel. The technical know-how of greater numbers of troops must be improved through training. Each individual is obligated to keep abreast of this progress. Construction print reading is a key skill for technical students. Fortunately, a formal education is not essential for achieving proficiency in this important subject; the study of correspondence courses such as this can provide the essential skills.
The objective of this subcourse is to provide you with the fundamentals of planning and
supervising the construction of frame structures which comprise the basic type of building in a theater of
operations. It will also orient you in the fundamentals of construction print reading. You will learn about
building layout procedures; framing details of substructures, superstructures, and roofs; kinds and
properties of timber; and planning and estimating material and labor requirements for frame construction.
Emphasis is on simplified theater-of-operations construction. However, some details of conventional
construction are also included for use as a general guide and for use in rehabilitation and repair of existing
