You don't need a book, you need to give a shit (care, genuinely care) CPT (Join to see). That said I would recommend you be well familiar with AR 600-20, and the Capstone FM(s) that governs your mission area. Next would be your mission essential tasks. 600-9 and PT should be next. Finally, put your heart and soul into "making a difference" for your Soldiers and families every day! Good luck, and enjoy it, as it will be the best job you ever have in the Army.

I would also try to establish a good working relationship with your Battalion S1, this person can be your biggest help or hindrance. They are also a fount of knowledge about HR matters and can/should give you a heads up if your evaluation/awards/monthly reports need help.

Have key staff on a roster and your phone including the SHARP, BN XO, EO, IG, chaplain, financial NCO, BDE Legal. Think about people you need to help you with a problem at 0230 on a Saturday.

Take the time to laminate the local maps. Include white sands. Not a leader book item, but something you will need. Set up your maps IAW the BN TACSOP. Set up your vehicle so you can operate out of it while you out and about. Clips, mounts, boards, red lense lighting, hooks for hand mikes, dry erase markers, laminated SOP reports etc.

Take your leader book, put it in a back pack with pens, note book, headlamp, a charger for your duty phone (12v and AC). Take this with you everywhere, so when the crisis hits you can direct it from where ever you are. Life does not stop while you are in command.

AR -600-20 Army Command Policy, AR 635-200 Administrative Separations, AR 735-5 Property Accountability .... Be familiar with the programs in use (admin, training, and supply). I wish there was a list but each command presents with different challenges and there is no way of knowing what you will need until the challenge arises. Best of luck.
