Preface
1. This JTTP was first published in 2001. Unfortunately, none of the
planned supporting sub-documents were published. Since then, cumulative
experience on campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere have fostered a
considerably more detailed and sophisticated understanding of how best to
develop the operational estate in support of a military campaign.
Purpose
2. The purpose of this JTTP is to set out the doctrine and procedures
required for the effective development of the operational estate. It is a book
written by practitioners for practitioners.
Scope
3. This JTTP focuses on the use of infrastructure to support a deployed
Force. Though referred to in this document, Infrastructure support to
Stabilisation is covered in greater depth in JDP 3-40 Security and
Stabilisation: The Military Contribution. Battlefield infrastructure is included
as it forms part of the overall operational estate. However, the requirement
for it and how it is delivered are covered in more detail in other publications.1
Target audience
4. This publication is aimed at providing the guidance required by
personnel responsible for:
a. The planning of infrastructure support to operations.
b. The delivery of infrastructure support in theatre.
Structure
5. The main text of the JTTP is broken down into four parts.

1 Such as Military Engineering Volume XXI, Military Engineer Support in the Land Environment.
JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) v
a. Part 1 – Planning the operational estate. The first part
concentrates on the constituent parts of the operational estate and how
they are developed and managed in a coherent manner in order to
support a military operation.
b. Part 2 – Delivery of infrastructure support. The second part
details how infrastructure support is delivered. It explains how
contracting is undertaken to minimise the need for military manpower
and how to act as an intelligent customer when deployed.
c. Part 3 – Safety and environmental issues. The MOD has well-
developed safety and environmental procedures. Part 3 explains how,
on a military operation, those procedures are applied. It gives guidance
to field commanders and, in a sense, acts as an approved code of
practice.
d. Part 4 – Funding infrastructure. The final part explains how the
operational estate is funded and what must be done to obtain the
financial resources it requires.
Subordinate publications
6. There are three subordinate publications to the main JTTP. They each
address more specialised aspects on infrastructure support.
a. JTTP 4-05.1 Compendium of Equipment Infrastructure. The
first subordinate document is a list of items of equipment infrastructure.
It concentrates on giving the details required by those who plan and
develop the operational estate. It is of particular use in the support of
tactical bases.
b. JTTP 4-05.2 Lands and Environmental Procedures. This
document gives the detailed procedures and proformae for lands and
environment management.
c. JTTP 4-05.3 Infrastructure Project Management. This is a
comprehensive guide to project management of infrastructure projects.
