FM 1 - The Army

The Army serves the Nation. We defend America’s Constitution and our way of life. We protect America’s security and our Nation’s interests. We answer the Nation’s call to serve whenever and wherever required. We must prepare for decisive action in all operations. But above all, we are ready to fight and win the Nation’s wars—our nonnegotiable contract with the American people. The Army is, and will remain, the preeminent land warfighting force in the world. We serve as the ultimate guarantor of our way of life.

FM 3-0 - Operations

Army forces are the decisive component of land warfare in joint and multinational operations. Army forces aggressively gain the initiative, build and maintain momentum, and exploit success to control the nature, scope, and tempo of full spectrum operations in war and military operations other than war. Execution of this doctrine requires well-trained soldiers and units fueled with the warrior ethos, the best weapons and equipment available, and the solid leadership ofofficers and noncommissioned officers of character and competence.

FM 3-0 establishes the Army’s keystone doctrine for full spectrum operations. The doctrine holds warfighting as the Army’s primary focus and recognizes that the ability of Army forces to dominate land warfare also provides the ability to dominate any situation in military operations other than war. The foundation of FM 3-0 is built upon global strategic responsiveness for prompt, sustained Army force operations on land as a member of a joint or multinational force.

FM 100-11 - Force Integration

This manual provides the Army’s force integration capstone doctrine for use by those who plan, program,and manage the introduction and resourcing of changes to the Army’s structure and composition. It is anequally valuable reference for commanders and leaders who execute the changes.These changes are caused by the Army’s adoption of new or revised doctrine, organizations, manpower, andequipment. The effects of change may impact any or all echelons from Headquarters, Department of the Army,to the installation and unit levels. Changes permeate each component of the Army (Active, Reserve and National Guard).The force integration process minimizes adverse effects on the readiness of Army units and componentcommands while changes are implemented.

As a result, the Army remains prepared to perform all of its mis-sions promptly and decisively. These missions range across the spectrum of crisis from humanitarian opera-tions, through military operations other than war, to fighting and winning the Nation’s wars.FM 100-5 describes the Army’s doctrinal principles for employing forces to accomplish assigned missionson this spectrum. FM 100-11 discusses how the Army builds and maintains the force projection capabilitiesrequired to execute these operations.
