About

This book is written for our Army. It explains our profession, our purpose, and what it means to be an American Soldier. You will notice this book is not written like other military doctrine; it touches on values and concepts through stories and in non-prescriptive terms. It requires judgment in application. The book is intended to be read from cover to cover. It progresses through three sections—what it means to be an American Soldier, what the Army does, and how the Army serves and supports our country. While the stories may be of past battles and heroic actions, it also reflects the increasingly challenging times we live in. It offers the reader a serious, solemn, and sober perspective of the Army's tasks ahead. FM 1 is relevant to every Soldier, for we share common responsibilities and a common commitment to each other.
