About

The changing world environment has led to significant changes in how the United States defines its need for a standing military, dictating that the US Army convert primarily to a CONUS-based force with limited forward presence. The 1993 edition of FM 100-5 gave definition to this new philosophy. Its keystone is the need for an Army that can maintain a vigilant posture—ready and able to project forces into areas of hostilities or of major concern to national interests. The centerpiece of the new philosophy is having the capability to project CONUS-based forces to the area of operations (AO), requiring the involvement of numerous services, agencies, departments, and organizations. Its credibility depends on our capability to deploy, in a timely manner, an appropriate military force that is capable of accomplishing the mission—from a military operation other than war to war.
