This document expresses the Army's fundamental role in helping to secure U.S. national policy objectives. It is the Army's capstone document for describing the broad roles and missions which, in concert with sister Services and allies, are the essential underpinnings for national security. The basic doctrine that guides the U.S. Army in combat is set forth in Field Manual 100-5, Operations. Doctrine for joint operations, as established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) for all U.S. Armed Forces, can be found in Joint Pub 1, Joint Warfare of the US Armed Forces, Joint Pub 0-1, Basic National Defense Doctrine, Joint Pub 0-2, Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF), and other joint keystone publications. Users of this publication are encouraged to recommend changes and submit comments for its improvement. Comments should be forwarded to HQDA, ATTN: DAMO-SSP, Washington, DC 20310-0424.
