About

How U S Army forces will fight the first and subsequent battles of the next war is fully described in the How-To-Fight series of field manual's. In order to fight, Commanders and their staffs must issue instructions to subordinates. That is, they must communicate the manner in which they wish operations to be conducted. Instruc- tions or orders may be issued orally or in writing or by a combination of both. may be issued in person or by electronic means. Words used as the principal means to communicate instructions, or sometimes only graphics are used to represent the intent of the commander. As a general rule, both are used. One complements the other. In any case, a common language of tactics is necessary so instructions can be communicatedVapidjy and with minimum risk of misunderstanding.
