The Army Universal Task List (AUTL) describes what well-trained, well-led, and well-equipped Soldiers do for the Nation. While focused on the land dimension, abilities of Army forces complement abilities of other Services. The ability of Army forces to perform tasks builds the credible land power necessary for joint force commanders to preclude and deter enemy action, win decisively if deterrence fails, and establish a rapid return to sustained stability. The AUTL provides a common language and reference system for doctrine, capability, and training developers. Proponents and schools use AUTL tasks, those tasks' recommended measures of performance, and the unit's table of organization and equipment to establish unit-specific, collective task training and evaluation outlines.
