The Army provides readily available forces that are organized, trained, and equipped to conduct prompt and sustained land combat to defeat enemy ground forces and seize, occupy, and defend land areas. Army forces maintain proficiency in the fundamentals of offense, defense, and stability operations (see ADP 3-07), and possess capabilities to meet specific geographic combatant command requests. Regionally aligned forces provide combatant commanders with an Army headquarters tailored to missions from tactical level to joint task force capable (see FM 3-94). The Infantry rifle company of the Infantry battalion shapes the operational environment and wins across the range of military operations. The Infantry brigade combat team and the mobile brigade combat team (MBCT) are distinct formations and should not be used interchangeably.
