The Army Operations & Doctrine 5th Revised Edition
Doctrine 2015 Guide to Unified Land Operations & the Six Warfighting Functions Unified land operations describes how the Army seizes, retains, and exploits the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability operations in order to prevent or deter conflict, prevail in war, and create the conditions for favorable conflict resolution (ADP 3-0). Unified land operations is the Army's operational concept and the Army's contribution to unified action. Combined arms maneuver and wide area security, executed through simultaneous offensive, defensive, stability, or defense support of civil authorities tasks, require continuously generating and applying combat power, often for extended periods. Combat power is the total means of destructive, constructive, and information capabilities that a military unit or formation can apply at a given time. Army forces generate combat power by converting potential into effective action. To execute combined arms operations, commanders conceptualize capabilities in terms of combat power. Combat power has eight elements: leadership, information, mission command, movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, and protection. The Army collectively describes the last six elements as the warfighting functions. Commanders apply combat power through the warfighting functions using leadership and information. This is the fifth revised edition of The Army Operations & Doctrine SMARTbook, fully incorporating the new material from Change 1 (ADP 3-0 & Doctrine 2015) SMARTupdate to AODS4, along with the full scope of complete and comprehensive additional "Doctrine 2015" reference citation, terminology and material changes throughout!
